I've already tried that, and it didn't help. However, someone on a dslreports forum said that he had problems in the past with WPA and Dells, so I changed my network to WEP and have since been unable to duplicate the problem, so I think I can say for now that the problem is fixed. Thanks for...

Hello, I have a Dell Inspiron 700m with internal Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG wireless. I figured I would try posting here before trying to deal with Dell support. The problem: when viewing webpages that require a lot of downloading, i.e. images on a MySpace profile, the wireless router has a...

I've noticed on a number of Windows XP computers the screen will flicker occasionally for no seemingly obvious reason. It only happens once every hour or so, but it makes me wonder what's causing it. I believe I've mostly seen it in laptops. I have a Dell Inspiron 700m with the on-board...

My grandfather just gave me his old Canon A-1 film camera (I believe it's from the early 1980s). It makes great pictures, but I would much prefer to have them in digital format. So, instead of taking pictures, developing them, then scanning them in or whatever, I would like to purchase a new...

I've never heard of this. As far as I know, the only options are the display clone, where it displays the same on both screens, and the extended desktop, where it is, as you say, an extended desktop. How would I go about setting it up as you describe? (Windows XP Home)

If I interpret your question correctly, yes. Both monitors are enabled and the second is "Expand my desktop..."

Hi all. I want to set up a computer where it runs a PowerPoint presentation on a second monitor (a TV set up in another room). However, I also need to be able to use the computer while the presentation is still going on on the TV in the other room. At the moment, the presentation stops as soon...

My friend has a Compaq Presario 1500 notebook that's been having some power troubles for the past two days. When it's plugged in, it acts like there's no power. (To confirm it, it doesn't boot up when the battery's out and the power's plugged in.) The same happens when a port replicator is...

My parents bought a Casio Exilim EX-Z4 U for the family to take pictures. It's great for them because it's generally point and shoot. (I get the blame if it turns out otherwise :confused: ) But I've gotten to the point where I'm really experimenting with photography in general. I'm looking for a...

I know you said to disregard the home page, but logo 1 on there is kinda hard to read. the "P" blends in. maybe get rid of the shadow?

Ok, here's my problem. I currently have XP Home SP2 installed on my normal internal hard drive. I installed XP Pro on an external hard drive that was recognized by the XP install program, and it seemed to go well. However, when I start to load XP Pro, it shows the boot loader for about a second...

I'm trying to forward ports essentially from one router to another, and finally to my PC. Here's the setup: Modem --> Linksys BEFW11S4 --> Linksys RT31P2 --> PC What I've tried so far are forwarding a port to the RT, then from the RT to the PC. I've also tried DMZ on the BEFW to the RT...

I'm leaning towards the Dell because I think I'd personally prefer Windows Mobile over Palm, but that's my opinion. I'd just like to know which one you prefer. Here are some general specs. Dell Axim x30 Processor: Intel 312MHz OS: Windows Mobile 2003 SE ROM: 64MB RAM: 64MB Wireless...

I don't want to know your name! I just want... bang, bang, bang. *Translation: don't go to the movies. Go to your house.

Meesa friends with neonerd, and I have to say she's quite a girl (visually, at least. I'd give her a 6/10 for personality.). But, to give you an idea of his dilema, image Bill Gates dating Avril Lavigne. ;) Nevertheless, good luck to him. *EDITED for harshness in the rating of the personality. :P
