Assumptions regarding a new post!
TRYING TO LOAD QUICKEN, WINDOWS XP USER. ERROR MESSAGE: NEED TO UPDATE SYSTEM
CONFIG. NEED TO CHANGE FILES TO 50 AND BUFFERS TO 10. DONT KNOW HOW TO DO THIS. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME. "Richard Urban" wrote: ASSUMPTIONS REGARDING YOUR POST 1.. Because you have posted here it is assumed that you are using Windows XP. What version? 2.. If you do not state otherwise it is assumed that you are using a standard ATA hard drive. Why? Because it is the most common drive available today. 3.. It is assumed that the hard drive is physically connected to the primary IDE controller "on your motherboard" in a single or master configuration. Why? Because it is the most common configuration. 4.. It is assumed that the operating system is installed in a primary partition. It is further assumed that this partition is designated as drive C: Why? Because it is the most common configuration. 5.. It is assumed that you are using at least 256 meg of RAM for your system. If you are using less - please state so. 6.. It is assumed that you have not altered your default pagefile size. If you have - please state so. 7.. It is assumed that your computer was operating normally prior to the problem you are experiencing at the moment. If not - please give specifics! 8.. It is assumed that a friend with computer experience DID NOT try to fix your computer before you came here for assistance. If one did, it is further assumed that you will enlighten us to the fact, along with what he did and the results of his attempts. 9.. It is assumed that you have not deleted, or tried to delete, any Windows XP system components and that if you have you will alert us to the fact. 10.. It is assumed that you are running a fully patched operating system. This includes SP2 and subsequent updates. If you are NOT, please state as such. 11.. It is assumed that you are running a competent and up to date version of a quality antivirus product. Which one? If not, please let us know that also. 12.. It is assumed that you are connected to the internet from behind a firewall, either the one that is supplied by SP2 or a third party application. Please state what you use. If you don't use a firewall let us know. 13.. It is assumed that all default Window services are running. If you turned any off, let us know. Try to list those that you have disabled. 14.. It is assumed that you will tell us how you connect to the internet if you are having a connection problem. 15.. If you are having a problem with a 3rd party application (or hardware), it is assumed that you have exhausted the manufacturers resources before you post here for help - with something that has nothing to do with Windows XP. 16.. It is assumed that you have scanned your system for unwanted pests, more commonly known as spyware, trojans, worms, virus's, dialers etc. If you have not, it is assumed that you will state that fact. 17.. It is assumed that you have at least tried to use available help and resources to get some information about your question. These include the extensive help section included with Windows XP as well as on-line resources such as a Google search! 18.. If you are having problems with a computer purchased from a major manufacturer, it is assumed that you have tried to find an answer to your problem from the manufacturer's web site before you post your question here. Why? We will likely send you there for the resolution to your problem anyway! 19.. It is assumed that you will post all relevant information concerning your problem, along with a clearly worded description of your problem. Why? So we don't have to go back and forth with you for three useless cycles to obtain the information necessary to make a diagnosis. 20.. It is assumed that you will type your question in a user friendly format. It is further assumed that you DO know that this is NOT a teen chat room and that not everyone knows what your abbreviations stand for. -- Regards, Richard Urban aka Crusty (-: Old B@stard :-) If you knew as much as you think you know, You would realize that you don't know what you thought you knew! |
