Recently, I bought a computer from a local retailer. Yesterday, I got a letter from this company telling me I haven't had the computer "cleaned" and they will do it for free as well as put in a new fan. This is all out of the blue - no problem with any fan that I know of. Can anyone...

The uninstaller did not remove the folder, so I had to do it manually. After that, I tried to install it again, and everything seemed OK - but still this error message -"WordPerfedt 12 has become unstable".

I am using the Word Perfect 12 word processor. The OS is XP. While working on documents, I am routinely getting the message that the program has become unstable, and I have to close. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program a couple of times and still I have this problem. Is...

Bought an A8n-e about 3 months ago, and installed the drivers on the disk it came with. My question is: should I upgrade the Nvidia chipset drivers, and get the latest BIOS? or stick with the ones I have? I have no "issues" at the present time, it's just that I upgraded my ATI video card...

The reason I'm interested in drivers is that I just installed the latest ones for my video card. The old ones gave a 3dMark05 score of 4025, and with the new drivers, I scored 4892 - about 20% increase in performance. If I can get this kind of upgrade from the motherboard drivers, I'll be...

I have an Asus A8N-E motherboard. So far, I have only used the drivers that came with the mobo (on CD). I would like to update to the latest drivers, but am not sure how to proceed. Do I update the chipset drivers first? (NVIDIA nF4) ... and then get a new version of the BIOS? ...and...

Just installed my OS - tried to hook up to my network (cable) and no go. Looks like my computer cannot detect any network hardware. I have to connect to the internet to get new drives off various web sites. I'm just using the onboard network stuff on my ASUS A8N-E motherboard. The cable...

Can anyone recommend a partition strategy? I want to install both XP pro and Linux eventually.

If the sata controllers on my Asus A8n-e don't support opticals, how do I install the OS? I've only got one drive - a BENQ 1640. The hard drive is a Seagate 7200 160GB.

... but before I do, I was wondering if someone can tell me about the master/slave thing. I have never really understood it. Right now, I have my one SATA hard drive as the primary master, and the DVD drive as the secondary slave, set as the first boot drive. Is that correct, or do I have...

When I go to burn a VCD disc with Toast Titanium 6, I drag my .mov file to the main Toast window, click the VCD option, and click the button to record. However, instead of burning the movie to disk, all I get are 4 folders on the disk - CDI, MPEGAV, SEGMENT, and VCD - none of which contain my...

I don't know the specific command to link. I have all the files in the same directory, and just use bcc32 test.cpp which should compile and link them all at once. The object files are produced, but no .exe file. So, it compiles, but doesn't link. I've tried it with the IDE as well...

Ok - I got Borland's Sc1 editor - this is supposed to take care of compiling and linking together with the "Build" command that runs a make file. Here's some code:

I'm writing a program, with header files and .cpp files. However, when I call a function that is declared in the header and defined in the .cpp file, I get a linker error: unresolved external I can "fix" the problem by putting all the code for the functions in the .h file. Then, the...

The CPU did not come out with the heatsink. To prevent that, I twisted the heatsink just a little as I was pulling it off - so that the two would separate with a little horizontal stress. I think that is the trick. I will have to remove the thermal paste with rubbing alchohol and...
