    Battery charger output?

    How would you test it? I've got one that I wonder if it is working. The amp guage on the unit is not reacting like I think it should.

    Google searches!

    Seems that more and more Google searches bring up trash. Several times this morning I have looked things up, only to find links that have absolutely nothing to do with the objects I was looking for. They are links that take you to other searches and have zero information about the subject you...

    "Shift cut out switch", circa 1976?

    From a previous post, this animal is described as being NLA. It looks like a fairly common micro switch, but with an extended actuating arm with a roller on the tip. I do know one thing about these types of switches. It would not hurt to shoot it occassionally with some electrical contact...

    "My Documents"????

    What gives? I cannot copy and paste this folder to a different drive. I always try to back up folders that have data that I would not want to lose. By default, XP saves many items to My documents. I have a partitioned hard drive and a thumb drive that I backup these folder too. However when...

    Calling all computer Gurus!

    WizeOne Jr finds himself in a pickle with his PC. He has apparently contracted some sort of bug in his PC. It is called win32.kafi.b, and it writes itself into the system registry, tells the OS that it has a virus, then directs the user to download an "Anti-virus" program called Perfect...

    A Craigslist bummer!

    I just recently stumbled across a couple of websites that would do a nationwide search of all the Craigslists for any specific items that you were searching for. I never had the chance to try to make any purchases out of my area but I thought this was pretty neat. This week I have been looking...

    Problem with IE7 running MS Vista.***mini update***

    This is a problem Missy Wizeone is having on her laptop, while away down south at school. She says she opens IE and it goes nuts, opening up 40, 50 or 60 times before she can 'end program' or shut it down. She thought she might have a virus or something so I had her run the antivirus and...

    Digital TV question? + more!

    I guess, in February, at least Comcast will go to a digital signal. Is there such a thing as digital signal ready TV's? or will they all need a converter box. In looking at flat panel TV's, I only see reference to HDTV ready, not digital capable. Next question is about which brands and which...

    Weird problem with Outlook Express***RESOLVED***

    Today I opened my email and I had a number of emails, all the same title, all the same subject, all the same time and date. They were all from '2008 Credit Report' with the subject being ' TransUnion, Equifax, Experian Credit Reports and Scores'. If you open an email there is nothing in it. I...

    When is an Amp not an Amp?

    Went out today to buy some fuses for the outside Christmas lights. The old fuse cap said 125 volt-7 amps. The vendor only had 240 volt-7 amp fuses. They looked the same, the fuse wires appeared the same, so I bought them. The guy at the store said that the voltage thing was controversial but...

    Forklift information?

    Just in the off-chance someone here has some knowledge/experience I need some information for my old Hyster Forklift. I believe it is an early 60's model YE62, with some sort of 4 cyl flathead, probably a continental engine. This forklift sits inside a vented 40 ft shipping container but it...

    Outdrive serial number?

    Where to find? It is a Merc 1 circa 1976. There is a label on the back surface of the upper gearcase that has a box for a serial number but the number is AWOL. The label on the motor had an easy to read imprinted serial number. I just want to have these numbers on hand as it appears that...

    I keep getting reminded to download an update. In total it is about 53 mb. I'm not even sure what this is for. I usually use Windows media player for vids and I do not know if MP needs this DivX The other issue is that there are 4 elements to it; codec, player, web player and converter. You...

    Printer issue?

    I run a DOS based business program on my Win2k machine. It is an old PII 400 mhz unit that stays on all the time. When I go to print an invoice (in this case) nothing happens. I go back out to the desk top and see this message in a little box titled "printer folder". There was a error found...

    Please see my post down in Non-Boating Tech and add any answers you might have in that post. http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?p=1890685#post1890685 I put it down there because I thought I might get a larger audience, of mechanically experience people, than I would get up here. This is...

    Distributor help!***Mission Accomplished***

    This question is actually for my boat distrib, but anything that would apply there would be applicable to automotive as well. As such I thought I might get a wider response down here, rather than up in the I/O forum. I have a 'phasing' issue on my Prestolite distrib, ie, that is that the rotor...
