    Frequent Disconnects: ISP or Router?

    Fios isn't available for my building, I've checked. Thanks for the heads up on the forum. I believe I have filters everywhere.

    Frequent Disconnects: ISP or Router?

    My modem is showing 2688 Kbps / 864 Kbps. I live in an urban center. I can definitely try calling Verizon, but if the problem persists I fear they'll give the run-around.

    Frequent Disconnects: ISP or Router?

    Connected direct, experiencing intermittent disconnects. I had contacted Verizon with this problem before and they sent me a new modem. Should I get back in touch with them or am I better of switching to Comcast?

    Frequent Disconnects: ISP or Router?

    The disconnects are very intermittent, so it's hard to test for what's going on. I had one happen a few minutes when my wireless house phone rang, but I'm not using a wireless connection for my PC. I'm not downloading any torrents at all. Got 2 pcs and my Iphone on the network. I'm not sure...

    Frequent Disconnects: ISP or Router?

    I'm using a 1-year old Linksys WRT110 with a Verizon residential DSL setup, using ethernet only at this time. I experience intermittent disconnects, where I end up disconnecting and reconnecting the power cable to get back online. I can't figure out if it's my router or the ISP that's the...

    Installing Windows 7: Can't Boot from CD with USB keyboard.

    Thanks. Had to dig around but wasn't hard to find. The exact option was "Enable USB Keyboard". Strange thing is that keyboard worked to get into the BIOS (Del), but I'm sure there's a standard reason for that which I'm not aware of.

    Installing Windows 7: Can't Boot from CD with USB keyboard.

    Hello. Trying to install Win 7. Bios set to boot from CD drive first. Startup asks to hit key to boot off cd. I can't hit key and computer boots into existing install on HD. Looks like it doesn't like my USB keyboard, and I don't have a USB one laying around. Workarounds? Thank you.

    Hackintosh 10.5.5 Retail Rig - Starting at $305

    Hi there. I'm completely new to hackintoshing, and I'm just idly wondering if the Shuttle XPC SX58H7 is a possible hackintosh, and if anyone has attempted to hack it. I know that it's quite possibly incompatible, and more than likely untested, but it makes for an interesting dream. :) For...

    Trouble booting Windows 7 install from an HD.

    Hello. I have a bit of a weird issue with my computer, and I'll try give the backstory to be clear on what happened. I had an old IDE HD with a XP install. I bought a new Velociraptor HD, and put Windows 7 beta 64 bit on it. For some reason, the HD with the Windows 7 install wasn't a...

    Installing Windows 7 Beta without a DVD or a USB drive.

    Thanks for your reply. Looks like I'll try the USB stick method. Off to Staples! Mizugori - The problem for me is that my current OS is 32 bit, and the installer for Windows 7 is 64 bit.

    Installing Windows 7 Beta without a DVD or a USB drive.

    I've downloaded the Windows 7 64-bit version with the hopes of mounting the ISO with Daemon Tools and installing it on an empty partition. It appears that because my current operating system is 32 bit, I can't run the installer in windows. Is there any way of installing Win 7 without buying a...

    Macbook PRO Configuration Question

    Within the next 1 or 2 months Apple should have all new Macbooks and MBP's, which should be significant improvement if you can wait that long. If you can't wait that long, the basic is probably fine, although you might want to check them out in store to figure out if you want a matte or glossy...

    I've completely lost all keyboard & mouse support on my XP machine...

    I have an EVGA 133-K8-NF41-AX motherboard. When I used a bootable cd (Bart PE) I was able to use both the mouse and keyboard fine (PS/2). Currently I'm using this machine with a new HD and a fresh install of windows, with full mouse and keyboard support. I can access all data on my old HD...

    I've completely lost all keyboard & mouse support on my XP machine...

    My HD is fine, and I'm wondering how the utility above can help me in my situation. Is it at all similar to Bart PE? I downloaded and burned it, but wasn't sure what to do with it after I used it to book. Thanks again for keeping up with me... -Alex
