    Network/Workgroup Issues

    All this has been done....I'm still getting the same thing. I figure I've tried just about everything so far. Windows firewall is off on both machines. I did seem to have firewall-related issues when I first got it setup (it worked after I disabled it and all), but now it seems to make no...

    Network/Workgroup Issues

    Both of those have been done. As I've said, it somehow magically worked a few times, so it seems intermittent. No idea why, can't seem to replicate.

    Network/Workgroup Issues

    I've been trying to setup a wireless network between my new laptop and other comp for two days now. The internet is working wirelessly and all, but I can't seem to get a workgroup setup so I can transfer files. I can see the other computer if I look in the workgroup, but when clicking on it, it...

    GTA3 Problem

    Rockstar is going to have some serious patching work to do on this game. Just today I was playing and all of a sudden, the text messed up, and the game slowed down to like 0.5fps. When I went back to the menu, it worked fine. I also encountered the D3D bug upon installing (menu text is...

    Burning .raw CD Image

    I downloaded the Debian woody cd image today, and it's in .raw format, which I've never dealt with before. I'm pretty sure it's like an iso, but I can't burn it in the same way I would normally for a .iso file. Someone suggested renaming it to .iso and that should work. Ideas?

    What's the first thing you do when using a new Windows Install?

    I have to agree with that. I know several people that do the 640x800 thing and have the whole screen (litterally) filled with shortcuts to drives, files, junk, duplicate icons, etc.

    P4 prices dropping! What should I do?

    Yeah, but Intel is saying that the Via DDR chipset is evil and that nobody should use it. :Q Then again, intel just wants to make more money off of rambus. I suggest going with a T-Bird but it really depends what kind of stuff you want to do with it.

    Athlon vs G4

    I have a friend who's an avid Mac fan. I own a 1ghz T-Bird and know it can beat the G4. I really want to have a good technical argument for my friend. He keeps telling me the Velocity Engine is where it's at and tries to make me believe that it's a true 128-bit processor (which is 100% not true).

    Yeah, a metal object that's in contact with the ground somehow (I use a metal chair)

    Good Defragger for Win2k

    I wouldn't reccomend Norton Speeddisk over the Windows Defragger since it puts all the clusters at the end of the disk. It can be a nightmare for someone who wants to resize a partition afterwards.

    Computer Temperature

    Depends on the processor. Generally, Athlons will run hotter than Pentiums, although AMD is trying to cool down their processors with every core upgrade, it's still slightly hotter. What kind of mobo do you have? Processor?
