Thanks for the replies... but I still have a few questions left. Does it matter if I get a wireless or non-wireless router? Do I need a special type of network card to use a wireless router? Is there anything a noob like me might need to know when setting up/configuring the router?

I am trying to connect two computers at home to the internet. One of them is already connected to the internet with a cable modem (from my ISP) and an ethernet cable. I want to connect another computer to the cable modem so it can access the internet, but the modem only has one ethernet port on...

As the thread title says, I'm having trouble installing Splinter Cell Double Agent on my PC. The game disc is a DVD, and when I first put it in my DVD drive the game splash screen comes up and a menu with several options such as install, manual, etc. appears. If I choose any of these options...

I have been playing BF2 regularly for the past several months with no problems, but all of the sudden I can't connect to my BF2 account anymore. When I type in my password and click the login button, the account screen just idles for awhile before displaying an error message that says "There was...

cougar78- thats interesting because I also have the 7900GT KO. I installed windows XP using a DVI connection and BF2 has never worked for me. I haven't tried running it using a VGA connection yet, maybe i will. I should add that I'm using an LCD monitor. Also, have you used the "EasyInfo"...

I can't get the game to start with version 1.0 or 1.3. Since I have never played the game before, deleting the BF2 folder in My Documents doesn't make a difference. I also have DirectX 9.0c installed. Thanks for the suggestions though. When I use the "EasyInfo"(located in the start menu)...

Did this work for you? I couldn't figure out how to change my monitor to a plug and play device. Do I need to uninstall the monitor drivers?

Every time I try to start Battlefield 2, it briefly shows a splash screen with the Battlefield 2 logo and then the screen goes black for a second before crashing to the desktop. I have tried re-installing the game many times and upgrading to the latest patch with no success. I also tried...

Thanks to you guys I found the solution. I just needed to download the d3dx9_27.dll file online and replace the one in my directory. Now fear starts up perfectly! :thumbsup:

Whenever I try to start F.E.A.R, an error message quickly pops up saying: "The application or DLL C:\Windows\system32\d3dx9_27.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette." Any idea what this means? Is the dll file it mentioned related to...

I recently put together a new setup with the following hardware: A64 3800+, GA-K8NF-9, e-VGA 7900GT, 1GB PC3200, 1 SATA HDD, 2 optical drives, a 450W power supply from AMS, and 3 case fans. After some intial difficulty, I was able to install Windows XP. But the computer seems unstable and...

My motherboard does not support both AGP and PCI express. I am also getting a new motherboard to go along with the PCI express video card. My old PSU is a 450W model from Enermax. It was used with an AGP video card and P4 processor. After looking at motherboard options, it seems the newer ones...

I'm about to upgrade from an AGP video card to PCI-express video card. I still want to use my old PSU, but I don't know if the requirements have changed for the newer PCI-express video cards. Do I need a new PSU with certain types of connectors/cables or will my old PSU still work?

I'm getting ready to upgrade my PC soon, and this generally means I will no longer use some of my former components. With previous upgrades, I decided to take the older parts and use them to assemble PCs for friends and family. But this time, I don't need to use them towards building another...
