Solve : Trying to put 95 on ol' system for my kids school...? |
|
Answer» I have taken my 13g WD harddrive, wiped it clean of all data and files and want to put Win95 as an operating system that I can give to my kids school. I have an old Micron Desk Top / CPU, It was running XP Pro, but way too slow 450Mz w/384 of ram. Now all I get is a blinking curser, when I tried booting with and old DOS 3 1/4 disc I could get A:/ prompt but no C:/... What do I need to do to put teh 95 operating system?http://www.pcguide.com/proc/sw/w95inst-c.htmlAre you sure the boot disk you're using contains everything you need? Put a floppy into your drive, then run the EXE you download. This thread is 8 months old. Surely either they've figured it out or given up by now.Quote from: quaxo on April 11, 2012, 10:07:51 PM This thread is 8 months old. Surely either they've figured it out or given up by now. As with many oddly unhelpful posts that revive an old thread, you'll see the real reason why it is there if you click "quote". How do they IMBED the image without it displaying anything? What is the point of imbedding the image that is not displayed?Nathan had a very good explanation for what it does...but i cannot find his reference Post right now... In a nutshell from what i remember the embedded images can basically track anyone who cliks the link...not a drastic amount of INFO can be harvested other than basic IP addy's and activity... Someone else may chime in with a more detailed explanation...but it's why the images don't show...they don't want them to.Quote from: Computer_Commando on April 19, 2012, 05:24:46 PM How do they imbed the image without it displaying anything? GIFs can be transparent. You don't have to click any links; if you view the page containng the INVISIBLE GIF, it is served to your IP address which appears on the weblogs of the hosting site. However I suspect that it might be a way of making hidden links for Google's web spider to find, in order to boost a site's Google ranking. I just thought: it may be a way of inflating the number of "hits" from unique visiting IP addresses recorded by a site, e.g. to defraud existing advertisers or mislead potential new ONES. Often advertisers pay a rate based on that number. So no tracking, but still dishonest. It might be interesting to alert somebody or try to get the fact of its happening made public. Then again, it could be just SEO. http://www.dailyforexrates.info redirects to www.cuoda.net which is registered to: Billing Contact individual Huddleston Sherry 11591 E Wales Rd Elkmont, Al 35620-4843 US Telephone: +1.8389063853 Fax: 2012-03-19 Email: [emailprotected] Quote from: Salmon Trout on April 21, 2012, 03:54:41 AM I just thought: it may be a way of inflating the number of "hits" from unique visiting IP addresses recorded by a site, e.g. to defraud existing advertisers or mislead potential new ones.

I was trying to wrap my head around the angle here. More sinister, it could be to gather live IP addresses, with a view to initiating a port scan or other vulnerability assessment...? Whatever, it's sneaky and I don't like it. |
