There is a simple solution to </B></div> <div> <B>the problem .</B></div> <div> <B> </B></div> <div> <B>Windows 98 has a bug that causes it to report incorrect disk space. You may know that you have plenty of disk space, but Windows is reporting a mere fraction of that amount. To correct this problem, simply run Scandisk.</B></div> <div> <B>See how easy that was and you didn't have a large out of pocket expense.</B></div> <div> <B>                                               The Dragon</B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B><U>Back orifice</U></B><B> </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Often known as BO, Back orifice is Trojan horse program created by the hacker group 'Cult Dead Cow' this allows users complete access to your computer once installed onto that computer. Then a malicious user could delete your files, change your files, copy your files, edit your system settings and information,then they will be able to do almost anything remotely without most users knowing. </B></div> <div> <B>to know if you are infected with back orifice you must first run a executable file that secretly places the file on the computer. You should know that another program could also be in another file.</B><B> </B></div> <div> <B>To find out if back orifice is on a Windows computer open a dos prompt and run this command:</B><B> </B></div> <div> <B>netstat -a</B><B> </B></div> <div> <B>If a local address has a port of 31337 more than likely a back orifice is on your pc.</B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B><U>Black borders on side of screen</U></B><B><U>.</U></B><B> </B></div> <bR> <div> <B><U>Cause:</U></B><B> </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>This issue can be caused by any of the following possibilities on CRT monitors (standard computer display):</B><B> </B></div> <div> <B>Resolution was changed and monitor could not adjust. </B></div> <div> <B>Monitor needs to be manually adjusted. </B></div> <div> <B>Older computer monitor </B></div> <div> <B>This issue can be caused by any of the following possibilities on LCD displays (flat panel / laptop):</B><B> </B></div> <div> <B>LCD limitation </B></div> <div> <B>CRT Monitor Solution:</B><B> </B></div> <div> <B>Resolution was changed and monitor could not adjust </B></div> <div> <B>If the resolution was recently changed it is possible for the monitor to not auto adjust or shift to the correct size. If this occurs the resolution can be changed back to the original setting or you can manually adjust the monitor as instructed below. </B></div> <div> <B>Monitor needs to be manually adjusted </B></div> <div> <B>If a black border exists on the monitor it can generally be resolved by manually adjusting the horizontal or vertical width. Because each monitor is different the method of adjusting this setting will vary, consult your monitor documentation. Additional information about these controls as well as example pictures of the settings can be found on our monitor page. Older monitors may not have the feature to adjust the horizontal setting, if this is the case refer to the below notes: </B></div> <div> <B>Older computer monitor </B></div> <div> <B>It is possible for older monitors (generally 15" monitors). When this is not available it is generally due to the monitor design and it should be expected to see some black on the left and right of the monitor. If you believe this black area is to big we recommend you contact your monitor manufacturer for additional information. </B></div> <div> <B>LCD Display Solution:</B><B> </B></div> <div> <B>LCD limitation </B></div> <div> <B>LCD displays are designed and work differently from the standard CRT monitor found on most computers. Because of this difference LCD displays will have a set resolution. An example would be a set resolution of 800 x 600. When the resolution is changed to a larger resolution because the pixel size is different the size of the display will decrease causing a black border. To rectify this issue most LCD displays or laptop manufactures will have a stretch utility to stretch the pixel size allowing the display to be full screen. This will however decrease the quality of the image slightly (this generally is noticeable in the text). </B></div> <div> <B>Because the stretch utility or the key combination or method of enabling this feature varies it is recommended that you contact your laptop or LCD manufacturer for additional information on if this feature is possible and how to enable it. </B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B><U>I've lost a file, and I can't find it!</U></B><B> </B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Intended For </B></div> <div> <B>Windows XP</B></div> <div> <B>Windows 2000</B></div> <div> <B>Windows Me</B></div> <div> <B>Windows 98</B></div> <div> <B>Windows 95 </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>It may have been inadvertently saved or moved to your Fonts folder. </B></div> <div> <B>Explorer will only see font files in that folder; even Find won't be able to find it. </B></div> <div> <B>Try using the command prompt to locate and move the file. </B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="267" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="VOID" RULES="NONE" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=CENTER HEIGHT= 1824 WIDTH="263"><div> <B><U>No Power</U></B><B> </B></div> <bR> <div> <B><U>Cause:</U></B><B> </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>No power from the computer can be caused by any of the following possibilities.</B><B> </B></div> <div> <B>Connections not connected properly. </B></div> <div> <B>Third party hardware. </B></div> <div> <B>Bad power cable </B></div> <div> <B>Bad power supply </B></div> <div> <B>Solution:</B><B> </B></div> <div> <B>If the computer is turning on however is not posting or giving any display please refer to our post page as this is a different issue then no power.</B><B> </B></div> <div> <B>Connections not connected properly </B></div> <div> <B>Verify that the power connection is connected properly to the wall and the back of the computer.

If you have a standard CRT monitor, this cable can be used in place of the computer power cable. </B></div> <div> <B>Bad Power Supply </B></div> <div> <B>Finally, verify that the fan next to where you are connecting the cable to is spinning. If this fan is not spinning when the computer is turning on it is likely that the power supply is bad and we recommend that it be serviced by a qualified technician or replaced. </B></div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></B></div> <div> <B>Copyright © 2002-2004 Cpu Dragon Inc, All rights reserved.</B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
