I think I solved my own problem. I uninstalled the device and then reinstalled it. Seems to be okay now although I have not yet tried to use it. sorry for the time I caused any readers. rodney

I too have been toying with Linux. I have chosen Ubuntu as the one to pursue. It is readily available for free. You can download it and burn your own CD or Google it and send them your address and you will soon receive a free disk that will get you up and running. I am having great success and lots ...

I have some bad hard disk drives I want to take apart to salvage the magnets out of. The screw heads are not typical and do not seem to be Torks. One brand is similar to a 4 cornered socket screw and another is like a 5 star shaped depression. Do these have a name or are they used only by that manuf...

Thanks, I downloaded "Free Easy Burner" and it worked like a charm. Looks like this is a pretty good burner and best of all, no charge. Problem solved. Rodney

I have an ISO file that I downloaded but do not know how to convert it to a file that will run on Windows XP. How do you burn it to a CD to make it a runnable file please?

About every 3 months, there is a county auction (highest closed bid bet item) where there are often many computers. Most of them have the hard drives removed of course but you are allowed to put power on them and check them out using a display and keyboard and mouse at the facility. Is there a simpl...

In all my electrical engineering classes and experience (some 60 plus years) ohm law was always taught as V=IZ where all could be complex numbers and Z may contain any one or all Resistance, Capacitance and Inductance. It works for DC and/or AC or any combination with no ambiguities.

I've never found this to be a problem as the relays themselves have a flux path built into them in order to be efficient. No exterior path has much if any effect.

I would not recommend that device. What most often happens to a NiCad is that the seperator has been peirced by the internal growth of large crystals. What this device most probably does it put in a very high pulse of current that literally vaporizes that crystal which removes the short and lets the...

Thanks for the info, I'll check those suggestions out as soon as I get a bit of time. I am using Ubuntu which is a basic Debian core.
