I'm looking to build a new system on the cheap using my two old IDE hard drives I have. I picked up the sonata II for $50 so I don't need that. I will be using this system to record TV and playback those on the monitor. I have two PCI TV tuner cards (PVR-250 and PVR-150), so the processor...

When iPod is connect you should see a circle with a line through it with text below it saying "Do Not Disconnect" d.

Like a previous poster said, either try a different cable or another computer. If you try another computer, you should at least get unknown device. Then you would know that it is something between the USB cable and the port on your PC. If you still get nothing with the second computer, it's...

Do you have an ATI video card and ATI Multimedia Center installed? I had troubles with DAO (Data Access Objects) after installing the ATI's Multimedia Center. One of the packages in the Multimedia Center was DAO/MDAC. I uninstalled the ATI DAO and Multimedia Center and haven't had any...

I saw that you are getting MCE 2005 but I don't see anywhere you have listed a TV tuner or remote. If you are aiming for this to be a full HTPC, I would think that you would want to use MCE to its fullest potention with these items. I know I've added two TV tuners to my PC and I've never looked...

I've used snapstream's BeyondTV for around 2 years now and I love it. They have a one month trial of BeyondTV so your best bet is to try it out for a month and see what you think. I originally got hooked on Beyond TV because sage didn't support my ATI All in Wonder card. Snapstream supports up...

I have had mixed experiences with USB adapters. I had a SMC 802.11b adapter that got great reception and never a dropped connection. I upgraded my network to 802.11g using a Linksys router (WRT54G) and a D-Link DWL-G120 adapter. The DWL-G120 worked fine when I was just surfing the net but if I...

I had a semi-bad hard dirve. I ran the full test at PCPitstop.com. My boot drive came back with 3MB/sec while my storage drive was tested at 45 MB/sec. I did a format and a reinstall of the slow drive. Loading windows took forever also in my case. I went out and bought a new drive and it solved...

You may need to go through some type of authentication. At my college, I had to login through a special authentication page before I could use the network. My card would show that I was connected and had a valid IP, but if I didn't authenticate I would not have any traffic. As stated before...

Try going here. Click on the link at the top that says Support and Download. Once that page loads look for the Support Topics. Right underneat that you should see "Downloads and Drivers". That should take you to a page to select the Category which would be Thinkpad. Then select the subcatagory...

I have the same board, but haven't had any troubles booting from CD. When you are booting up do you get message "Boot from CD:" followed by the "Press Any Key to boot from CD". If you don't get this message try putting the CD into your other drive. I did notice that I couldn't use a wireless...

I've tried searching but I couldn't find any similar problems. I'm trying to boot my computer for the first time with the AIW 9700 , but it doesn't do much. The CPU fan comes on and then stops after less than a second. If I remove the Power to the card but leave it in the AGP slot the system...
