				  DISCLAIMER
			[don't you hate that word?! :)]



I do NOT work for, advertise, promote, make, sell, buy or speak in the behalf
of ANY computing, hardware, software, services, news or internet profit
business.
Therefore I do NOT provide tech support/advice for ANY computing related
issues.
My web site is the works of a "one man band", brought up to what it is today
with the invaluable help and dedication of several individuals I am privileged
to call great friends. Million thanks guys, you know who you are! :)
I do NOT e-mail/send/upload/distribute ANY software/files that canNOT be
distributed from sources other than their legal
owners/developers/distributors/vendors, because I respect ALL registered
trademarks and copyrights, as you should respect mine.
All I'm trying to do is find better ways to fix/improve the ones we all have
to put up with, and we all know what a "pain" that is! :)
I ONLY RECOMMEND web sites/businesses I feel deliver trustworthy, quality,
profit-free services, upgrades, software or hardware, most of which I have
tried and found useful, and I do NOT encourage anybody to spend money on ANY
shareware/retail/commercial/OEM products.
As you may have noticed, most "banners" at my site are mine, and I keep it
ad-free, because I believe knowledge should be shared freely. You will NOT see
flashy commercial advertisments here, and I DO NOT promote "link exchange"
type "banner swaps"!
The opinions expressed at my web site and in my files are mine, or belong to
other individuals/entities where so specified.
I have NO computing qualifications, except my 11 years experience using MS
Windows 3.0, 3.1, 3.11 + MS Windows for WorkGroups 3.11, MS-DOS 5.00, 6.00,
6.20 + 6.22, MS Windows 95, 95a OSR1, 95B OSR 2.0, 95B OSR 2.1, 98, 98 SP1,
98 SE, ME, 2000 + XP and MS-DOS 7.00, 7.10 + 8.00 on my home built PC:
http://members.aol.com/axcel216/pc.htm#SP
This makes me just another computer (read "Wintel") user, same as yourself. :)
You don't have to use/apply any of my tips/files, this is only your choice,
and you are doing it at your own risk!

!	I pursue computing STRICTLY as a hobby! 

Therefore if you have technical hardware/software related problems/questions
working in MS Windows/MS-DOS, please seek QUALIFIED support/technical HELP
from your distributor/vendor/manufacturer/retailer.
I decline ANY responsibilities, and I CANNOT be held liable for ANY problems,
errors, data loss etc... you might encounter/experience due to using ANY of
these tips/files/pages.
These tips/files were tried by me and/or by their respective
authors/contributors, they have worked for me/others, but they may NOT work
for everybody, due to the huge variety of PC hardware/software
combinations/configurations out there.
My opinion is that if you follow CAREFULLY ALL directions and guidelines in
these files BEFORE using them, you should not have problems.

!	 _______________________________________________________
!	| ALWAYS BACKUP ALL YOUR HARD DRIVES TO A SAFE LOCATION |

!	 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Take EXTREME CAUTION when modifying your System/Startup settings!
Faulty changes may result in system crashes/lockups/permanent data loss, or
might lead to having you REINSTALL your Operating System(s)!
YOU are the ONLY one responsible for ANY changes YOU make!

!	ALWAYS HAVE YOUR MOST RECENT SYSTEM BACKUP READY!

If you have a problem:
FIRST, make sure you DOCUMENT the issue, start by READING the appropriate
text/help files, manuals, books included with your system, software, hardware
etc, and THEN contact your vendor/manufacturer/distributor (e-mail support is
usually FREE, and most have voice/fax phone numbers, some of which are TOLL

UPGRADING to their CURRENT/NEWEST versions/releases!
READ also the topics and guidelines included in my tricks files for possible
answers/solutions to your questions/problems.

to help, but PLEASE send me a DETAILED AND WELL DOCUMENTED REPORT with ALL
your problems/questions, AND the eventual STEPS taken so far, listing your
machine's Operating System(s) version(s)/release(s), and your hardware
detailed specifications.
All this is NECESSARY to avoid any redundant (time consuming) exchange of
e-mail, because I value YOUR precious time, as you should appreciate MINE.
Thanks for understanding.

REMEMBER: I pursue computing ONLY as a hobby, I have NO computing
qualifications, and I DO NOT work for ANY computing, internet or news related
profit business!
