    Primary/Secondary Monitor and Non-Windowed apps.

    Haunting ghost pointer in games

    I have a problem with a stationary image of my pointer displaying on different parts of the screen when I load and play certain games including Neverwinter Nights 2 and Age of Conan. The regular movable and usable pointer is there as well but flickers and is hard to use. I have updated my...

    paralized with BHO and permissions

    Wiped and reloaded in 2 hours and it's working great except spaghetti instead of pizza. Lots of reinstalling to do though but at least it's clean and secure. The guides we're very useful. Thanks for the assistance. Christo.

    paralized with BHO and permissions

    Re-install Windows XP or a total wipe and re-install XP? I don't think she has permissions to right-click-- >My Computer--> properties --> System Restore. Even if she did I wouldn't know how far back to go. thanks

    paralized with BHO and permissions

    I've taken on a friends computer problems. She was having trouble with an older Compac Presario(2004) relating to not having a firewall, no virus protection and a strong interest in downloading and going to porn sites. She got zone alarm and avast antivirus installed and avast found and delt...

    Overheating problem

    Q-Fan was enabled so I disabled it. I also made sure the four mounting screws were secure and they were. However, when Windows booted it was at 71C (although it was around 51C when I shut down) and came down to about 45C. But when I tested the game for about 1 minute, again I got a similar...

    Overheating problem

    I removed the HSF cleaned off paste from both HS and CPU and reinstalled neatly and carefully with new paste. I also switched the rear fan to blow out instead of in. However, this doesn't change this: http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/7375/tempsgv8.png This shows the temp1 (CPU)...

    simple HD question?

    I have a 160GB SATA HD as SATA1 and I added a new 300GB SATA HD as a logical drive for storage in SATA2. When I boot it hangs before windows loads unless I unplug the 300GB HD. Doing so it boots the OS fine from the 160GB. What am I missing? danke

    Overheating/powering off

    Speedfan shows my VCore1 to be at 1.34V and VCore2 at 0. Another setting "Internal Temp" shows 104C but I just thought that was a fluke. The ambient temperature, if you mean under my desk, is around 75F, at least that's what the room temperature is. Maybe its just the rear fan.

    Overheating/powering off

    I've had this overheating problem for quite a long time and I'm not sure what factor(s) are contributing to it. Asus M2NSLI-32 Deluxe NForce 590 SLI AMD X2 4800 dual core 2 x NVidia 7950 GTs The CPU temp idles between 49C and 56C but any graphics intensive load will raise it up into the...

    keyboard hotkeys/drivers

    I have a (Standard 101/102-key or Microsoft Natural PS/2) keyboard, quite basic keyboard but it has various macro/hotkey buttons along the top and I'd like to configure them because they don't do anything at the moment. My drivers in the control panel say that they are the most current too...

    Are windows updates neccesary?

    My system is running XP fine and it always asks me if I want to update now but I'm worried that it's going to cause problems or errors. Is this likely? I've never done a windows xp update. thanks, C.
