I am a bit rusty on my MS-DOS cmd's and I am having a problem with Xcopy, coping files on a USB floppy drive to my HD. Here is a link to a Dropbox picture as to what I am trying to do. Win DOS Shell see's the files. But Windows Explorer doesn't see anything on the A: drive. I know it is just a...

I have setup a number of bat files that starts Dosbox then starts DOS games like "Wolf3D". Like you this is my 1st time coping , in this case a game on 5 floppy disks. I had to buy a USB floppy drive on eBay. Windows Explorer doesn't see the floppy disk let alone the files on the floppy. But...

I have a 98se emulator, it is freeware, that works on Win 7 Home 32bit. Maybe that mite help. I mite still have my complete OS of 98se. I am in the middle of coping the 5 floppy disks, MS-DOS version, of Police Quest III to the HDD. Then I have to figure how to merge the 5 floppy disks on the...

When I play the same DVD in my laptop, there is no hum there.

The vcr/dvd recorder combo is a Funai model ZV427FX4. There is hum (not very loud) and the volume is lower in the tv as appose to when the tv is connected to the cable tv DVR via the HDMI cable. And there is no hum via the HDMI cable. I have a portable dvd player with it's own screen. When I...

Well I found out some news about this Asus X541NA laptop. 1st off it is cheap Chinese junk. Here is the list of faults. 1. the top cover has to come off to get at the hard drive. 2. no way to change the battery or disconnect it for a cold re-boot 3. No way to change or upgrade the memory...

I finely fixed the problem. ch's 25.1 and 25.2 plus all the other stations are coming in rock solid 5 by 9 rst now. But this is strange. The tv transmitting towers are on a hill directly south (180°) from me. Direct line of sight and only a few miles away. That's were I got the best signal for...

It is funny that I was able to pick up kndu ch 25 for as long as I have lived here. Then wamo 1 night when I wanted to watch kndu's news nothing was receiving. I have tried turning the antenna, moving the antenna higher. Still nothing. I am next going to move the antenna. Also when I get my...

I have a Skyworth hd tv/dvd player and a RCA dta809 hd converter for my (older non hd digital) Sony dvd/vcr recorder/player. Both the Skyworth hd flatscreen tv and the RCA down converter can not receive ch's 25.1 and 25.2. All the other ch's come in just fine on one of those as seen on tv indoor...
