My brother-in-law's computer just quit working. The first time he turned it on, it said he had a non-system disk. He rebooted, and nothing happened. Now, any time he turns it on, the cpu and case fan spin up, but nothing else comes up. It doesn't even sound like the hard drive is spinning up...

I get an error message on my laptop when trying to load certain software. I don't get this error on my other computer with the same operating system, so I'm confused. The error message that pops up is "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and...

I currently work in the transportation industry, but would like to get into IT, specifically networks. Since I work full-time and have a newborn son, I'm pretty much limited to taking online classes. What courses or schools would you recommed for getting a certification or degree? Mods - if...

I have a question that's been nagging me for awhile. I have a PC and a laptop networked together through a Netgear hub, and they share a cable internet connection. When I'm not using the pc's internet connection (whether it goes into standby, or if I'm doing something else on it), after awhile...

This is awesome! Looks like a very nice program, and the updates are frequent. I run McAfee now, but it really bogs down the system. But I'm using it because Norton wouldn't catch the Klez worm. I'll give this one a try.

<< Im having a hard time trying to get a fix on the current position. Does this GPS have a hard time during cloudy days or something?? >> How long have you left it trying to get a fix? It can take up to 20 minutes to get a fix the first time. I just took mine out to the car and let it go...

[qI plan to use it in my car while driving but I'm gonna have to find something to fix the palm onto. perhaps one of those cheap cellphone holders.[/i] >> I've got the Rand McNally GPS for my Palm Vx, which is the same unit. It came with a holder that attaches to the windshield via suction...

Repost! Original thread is here.:)

This is a smoking hot deal. I've got the Rand McNally GPS, which is the same unit with a different name. Hopefully (and likely), the Magellan software is a lot better than the StreetFinder software that comes with the Rand McNally. I've ditched the StreetFinder software, and am very pleased...

I got a Rand McNally GPS unit for my Palm, which uses the same software as this unit. The software is hugely bloated and largely useless. The maps are at least 10 years old. However, that's still a great deal, even just for the GPS unit. Just find some different software and you'll be rockin'.

I got my shirt on Friday! Thanks! This is the first free shirt I've actually received, other than the free NFL tees from HSN a few months ago.

Yep, the price went up to $7.79, but who cares. Still a good deal! I ordered one for when our niece & nephew visit, and later for our own little one (who is still on the way).

Boo! Hiss! I placed my order Saturday, but now they're backordered. I called, and the next shipment comes in on 4/16.

I've had this motherboard for quite awhile, and am very happy with it. It has a built in NIC, which is a bonus for me with my cable modem. It works perfect. I am putting together a system for my bro-in-law, and I may order this combo instead of ordering from newegg. The best source of...

Phooey. I was going to get one for my sister. I have one (with the slideout tray), and I am very pleased with it. I haven't noticed any blurring with mine. I also have no trouble running it at 1280x1024, no flickering at all. Even without the rebate, it's still a good deal.
