    CHKDSK running at every boot

    Hi all, In recent weeks my computer has started freezing, seemingly randomly, about once every couple of days or so. After a reboot CHKDSK would run, and sometimes clear up a few files. However, now everytime I restart normally (no system crash or freeze) CHKDSK always checks one partition...

    Two separate cards in single monitor system

    Thanks for the replies. Just to clarify, there's nothing wrong with the actual visual quality of static images; it's just how fast the screen is being updated. Are there any things you'd recommend I try, such as certain BIOS settings for instance? I've been looking at the advanced timing...

    Two separate cards in single monitor system

    If you're referring to why I'm thinking of installing another card, I can't really explain it any better than I did in that initial post to which I linked. It's quite hard to describe to somebody if they don't experience it themselves, but it's a bit like using Windows in Safe Mode, when 2D...

    Two separate cards in single monitor system

    Hi As my 6800GT Golden Sample is so poor for 2D work (discussed at http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=47503 - I'm 'Danger Mouse') I am considering installing a cheap PCI graphics card into my computer solely for 2D use (please see signature for current specs). I only use one...

    How do I allow someone to FXP files to my FTP?

    So in that case you don't mind them having read and write access to an entire directory, and you should be able to follow the guidelines in cPanel as mentioned above.

    How do I allow someone to FXP files to my FTP?

    Go to FTP Manager > FTP Accounts. This page should contain the info and options you'll need to add an account. Think you may need to create the directory for the FTP account before you add the user. If you have any more queries post back. EDIT: Sorry, just re-read your initial post and...

    Photoshop question

    Have you looked under Edit > Preferences > File Handling > Maximize PSD File Compatibility? If that is already set as it should be (Always or Ask) try saving a Photoshop PDF version. Depending on the version your friend is using they may be able to open that.

    Dual booting Windows XP queries

    Thanks skyking, but I'd need access to both drives at the same time for backing up.

    Dual booting Windows XP queries

    I'd like to set up two WinXP environments; one clean and stable for work and one which I can update with the latest drivers etc. for gaming. Have searched this forum for info on this topic and have found quite a bit of useful info which has saved me asking some questions I otherwise would...

    MSI K8T NEO vs. MSI K8N NEO

    I'm sure I've recently read that the K8T had some issues, but that the K8N with the nForce3 is fine. Will try and find where it was and post the url(s). EDIT: Got it: http://forums.firingsquad.com/...e&message.id=12895 See Trogdor's (Jarred Walton @ Anandtech) comments. However...
