Help ! Just got my new P4 rig but can't seem to get the IR to work. For Starters, there's no IR Menu Set Up option in BIOS.. all that's available under Peripheral set up in BIOS is Serial Port A (?).. no IR in sight. Also, my IR device is an EHoya IRWave 520F, "onboard" version that...

I have a cordless keyboard and mouse (see title) that seems to work super except for the mouse acceleration. Cursor can't seem to keep up if I move the mouse really fast (as in zigzagging across the screen). Is this normal? Situation improves when I set the mouse speed to High, but it'll still...

Recently decided to free myself of wires and go cordless with the mouse and keyboard. Funny thing is, the cordless mouse doesn't seem to handle "acceleration" too well. I sometimes move pretty fast from screen corner to corner but the cursor just doesn't move in tandem (sorts of...

Thanks for the feedback. I take it then it is safe to stay with Zone Alarm Personal edition. Nah, extra user settings only add more clutter and possibly confusion. Email attachments, yep.. that's a definite plus but I think my settings currently is pretty secure. Thanks for offering the $10...

With the increasing number of port attacks and intruder alerts, I am wondering if this is a good time to upgrade to Zone Alarm Pro. The reason I have not done it is coz I am a dial user, not DSL or Cable. Nevertheless, the number of port "queries", ranging from HTTP to ICMP to Netbios...

My problems with ME:- (upgraded over 98 SE) 1. Screen reresh sometimes "slows down"; no hanging tho. (Total RAM 256 avail.; at startup - around 170) 2. Adobe Photoshop stopped working altogether (even with re-install) 3. "Windows Millennium Edition Preview" is stuck onto my...

Thanks ! I have adjusted Winbond's Vcore limits. Now, getting the right BIOS upgrade. I have a CPU Card (Asus S370-DL). In the Abit website, I am given 2 choices of upgrade to download: one's for BE6-II and the other says: " BE6-II Rev. 1.2 with the HPT 370 controller chip ONLY! &quot...

Just wanted know what constitutes "safe over-clocking" for my PC. I have used Abit's Soft Menu set up to overclock my CPU to 750 Mhz and things seem to work fine. Here's what a knowledgeable friend advised: 1. Should not over-clock by more than 15% of original speed 2. When...

Great to know, thanks ! Just wanted to eloborate a little: Winbond's Vcore limits: MINIMUM limit is set at: 1.86 Maximum limit is set at: 2.26 whereas my Vcore reading is 1.65 So, why are the limits off-scale if P3-700 is supposed to be 1.65? Worst case scenario, I will just ignore this and...

I need some recommendation on what to do. Whenever I run the Winbond Hardware Doctor, my Vcore reading will always be reported as below the safe limit, reading = 1.65 whereas the safety limit is set at 1.85. When I check this against the BIOS reading, Vcore also reads in the region of 1.65. Is...
