The Steel Guitar Forum

Wow! A new problem, the memory usage for one of six running svchost in task manager (also Process Explorer) keeps growing to the point of all my remaining memory is taken, it's the svchost responsible for Windows Audio, DHCP, System Event Notification and a lot of other ones. I can kill the process ...

thanks Wiz, is there a key I would hold down while waiting, whatever first selection I choose be it CD or hard disk I get the same code

I can't get past this error code, should not my OS CD be bootable, I have it selected in my BIOS, still get NTLDR code

thanks Jack, I called the vender and they are sending a disk with an OS and one with the correct drivers

My laptop crashed so I put XP on it and I have no hardware like sound, network connectors, wifi etc, (which it had before) it did recognize a printer when i plugged it in though, any ideas?

my buddy was given a computer from the school he works at and has XP bare bones nothing else on the drive, however it says no sound device. There is a speaker jack in the back so I assume the sound card is on the mother board. On control panel, sounds, audio the selections are non highlighted and ca...

thanks, everything seems to be running ok so I just created a restore point

Wiz, I turned off system restore, but it says all restores are gone, so how do I maintain creating manual restore points after scans and prevent auto restores. Am I understanding you right in that restoration points are a daily routine or on some sort of scheduler, also the best restore is immediate...

Wiz, I think I down loaded it at lavasoft. I then downloaded spybot and it scanned and removed, scan took quite a while, it removed about twenty or so objects. Then I somehow found this site called Major Geeks (sort of like this forum here, but computers rather than steels), anyway they had a progra...

the program was AD Aware, you hit the nail on the head observing there are fraud programs out there, that's my problem, which one is the real deal, if I purchase one, is that a yearly thing or do I continue pass a year with their updates. Ad Aware seem to give an option to quarantine but after selec...

I downloaded a program and it scans but that is it, tells me I have 75 threats but now it wants my credit card number, what would be a free or reasonably priced program for this task that will scan AND REMOVE....thanks

Isn't that great! such picking, technique, tone...everything, love it, did you hear the clarity, warmth, and all around great tone of that guitar!!!

I really liked the cut Jim did, great tone, pulling off Bus Stop is real trick, not your everyday steel song, great job Jim! Long live the Queen, does the car have Lucas electrics, positive ground?

this goes back to the early eighties but I met the lead singer (CoCo) up in VT and he gave me a tape of the Squirt band, very unique, I loved the tape but it got lost in the divorce way back, they had accordian and a guy named Paddy (or something like that) played a Fender pedal steel and was great....

Danny, the steel is great and a treat on its own, bringing it up in the mix would be nice for us steelers, but for a recording for everyone to enjoy I wouldn't touch the mix a bit, they nailed in my opinion

Amen to all that Jerry said! There is so little country music done today that I can take,thids is different, this reminds me of the first time I heard Alan Jacksons first CD, a real breath of fresh air. You really need to hear this, not over produced, great mastering, real balance, I love it, Mike J...

I have a 1203 and the dust cover developed cracks and had to be removed, then I noticed a black melted plastic in the voice coil bore, it is thick stuff and hangs the speaker from complete movement, has this happened to anyone else? My plans are to disassemble the speaker (never did this before) and...

consider the Fessenden, in time your ears will probably not care for an MSA or Dekley

The CD is fantastic, this is the best VT band I've ever heard, and better than most national bands, the combination of players and styles sounds second to none, Jims playing is a treat for everyone, (two great instrumentals) I'm impressed!, you won't be disapointed if you buy this one

fly line works real good

did Billy Gibson have black hair combed back and smoked Marlboros, he was a great singer and his wife Laura played bass

Bill, I don't recall the name Eddy Edwards, I did play with a Bill Gibson many years ago, he was a great George Jones style singer from the Albany NY area. The simple mod I do with the finger picks is to add solder to the tip of the back side of the blade in hopes of a thicker sound on the plain str...

your situation brings back memories, my ex wife cried in court and the judge wiped her eyes........with my checkbook

this sort of thing happens now and then

this is a real nice guitar, I played less than two weeks ago, great tone and stable tuning with nice pedal action, I love black gloss mica
