Hi all, Sorry if this is the incorrect section to post in - I didn't know which section would be appropriate... Background : I would like to input my customer's contact information in the event that laptop is lost or stolen. Customizing the BIOS splashscreen via a graphics editor everytime we assign...

tom, try downloading and installing the ibm software installer. http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/SOFT-UPDATE.html#DL Run a scan for updates and install all the default-checked updates. You might need to download an addtional update (I think it's like the onboard controller that needs to be...

out of curiousity, are you using Access Connections or Windows to configure your wireless device? Access Connections is truly a beast of a network device manager (in a good way) in it's persistance to successfully connect your laptop to some type (wireless/wired/switch dynamically b/t the two) Windo...

Are you plugged in to an AC adapter? It's required.

Also, it comes by default with the k-lite codec pack, so you don't have to fish around the internet for it. If you just want a copy of it, i'll save you the legwork - http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli/ - search on the page for "media player classic" Plus, it's GPL'd open-source, so it's fre...

I can't scroll in a form, but horizontal scrolling works just fine in Firefox 1.0.4. All I have to do is set the trackpoint properties for the middle button to "neither" instead of "scrolling" or "magnifying glass". yeah - i hear ya - i've definitely fallen in love with the ibm scrolling (as oppose...

I *highly* recommend roboform (roboform.com) as a website password manager. I actually can't live without it :) Not only does it take you to the exact login page and fill your username and password, but it encrypts everything with a single-sign-on password so you only have to remember one password. ...

download the standard edition of k-lite codec pack from here: http://www.free-codecs.com/K_Lite_Codec_Pack_download.htm when installing, off the check list of options, scroll down, select "cyberdvd codec" in addition to keeping everything else that is checked on. I also recommend media player classi...

How about creating a new profile and deleting the old one? I had a problem once where my WPA key somehow "got corrupted" and re-typing in the password connected me successfully to the device.

I searched the forums and haven't seen any progress made on this. I am *dying* for horizontal scroll capabilities, as well as drop-down list capabilities. The fact that some sites don't register word wrapping, and the words scroll off to the right of the screen are bound to drive a man insane. Has a...

Also, if you haven't, set and HD and Power On Password in your BIOS to enable the password feature that I mentioned above.

Also, I find with hibernate, your HD password is always prompted, which adds a nice layer of security - effectively locking your hard drive. I believe if someone were to take the HD out, they would not be able to access the data on the HD unless they knew this password (that only you should know). W...
