November 07, 2001 Map of Leoville

Something cool: Jason (aka Jazybones) has posted a map of Leoville. Lots of inside jokes, some of which only the citizens of Leoville can appreciate. Check out the Kangarose Apartments!

In the ending email segment, two viewers wrote in to say that after checking the enable DMA box (under Device Manager and then "Properties") for their hard drives, they could no longer boot their computers. What's worse is that they tried booting to safe mode, but there was no DMA option available there. If it flew by too fast (and it didn't make it into the shownotes) Leo suggested going to the DOS prompt and typing:

scanreg /restore

to restore to a previous version of the registry. Someone had this same problem on the TSS message boards, but it had been too long for him to use a backup version of the registry. I found this suggestion for hacking the registry to change the DMA settings: WinDOwS Tricks: Turn Off DMA.
