What do you think about this one? X1650 card: Sapphire X1650

My old X700 card is dying and I need to find a sub $50 replacement quick. Basic home use; light gaming. One son plays MS Flight Sim and complains about speed, but that's about it. Any suggestions? Thanks all.

Unfortunately, I don't think I can solve this with a script. The program I'm using is "Clean Slate" from Fortres. Clean Slate does the cleanup, either at logoff or on a restart, but can only do so after all files are closed. Using the restart option works fine, but I don't necessarily want or...

I know, bad form to reply to your own post. But since I haven't gotten any responses I thought I'd give it a one time bump. Thanks.

I'm trying to figure out how to tweak the Autologon registry entry in XP. Basically, if set, this will automatically log a user on as soon as he/she logs out. I am using this in a student computer lab in conjuction with a "clean up" program that will undo whatever the previous user has done...

Thanks. I can get to the sharing tab no problem. And the printer is shared. And my computers are able to connect with Guest access for file sharing. I just can't connect to the shared printer with Guest access. I'm stumped.

Oh yea, the printer is shared. I can see it either via network neighborhood browsing, or by going through the Add printer wizard and browsing. I just can't connect to it.

Well, with simple file sharing enable in XP Pro, there really isn't an option to specify which group have what access, is there?

I am having trouble connecting to a shared printer from one XP Pro computer to another. I have simple file sharing enabled and can use file shares with no problem. Both computers can see each other in Network Neighborhood, no problems there at all. However, if I try to connect to a shared...

Ok. I will try that. Just wanted some validation that it was worth trying. Any idea why that would make a difference?

My mother in law wanted a new cordless mouse for Christmas. So I got her one, a basic Kensington wireless mouse. The receiver is connected to the computer (home built but not by me, AMD CPU, Asus MB) via a USB-PS/2 adapter and then to the PS/2 mouse port on the computer. Problem is that...

Aha, good call. I was able to find this pretty quickly: Text Don't know the vendor or brand but it's a start. Thanks for your help!

I'm trying to find a PCI Bluetooth adapter and am not having much luck. I've found some PCI cards that have Bluetooth and 802.11g, but I don't need the wireless. This is for an academic setting where I need to require the students to check out a keyboard and mouse before they can use the...

That must be it. Although it looks like there are more than 5 or 6 contacts. More like 10 or 12. I'm just using IDE right now, so I'll fugedaboutit. Thanks.
