Anybody know how to get a green735 notebook with a neomagic 2160 video to display via the S-video out to a tv. Running XP (runs great and pretty fast) and it has the standard xp video drivers installed. No XP drivers exist from the manufacturer. Thanks for any comments. Giles

Once all VHF analog transmissions are dropped all transmissions of digital signals will be in the UHF frequency range. HDTV doesn't require a special antenna. UHF is UHF no matter what the transmission is. The HDTV PC cards probably don't have the tuning quality that a large tuner does so a...

With the advent of HDTV cards their is a problem of how to feed them with a good free-to-air HDTV signal. Since HDTV will be all UHF, comments on best design, gain, and mounting of UHF antennas would be most welcome.

The UPC is not listed as a required item in either of the rebate forms. The UPC is a pasted on label on the one I got and is not printed on the box. In that case, it can be recreated pretty easy so that's why they probably didn't include it in the requirements. Box states 1 year warranty...

The Maxtor rebate form says "....... at Office Depot only." This is also $139.99 at OD. Maybe that will change when the sale starts.

The worst war in history, as always, is the next one.

Hey kof. You might think about getting a 566 and replacing that 300a and going to 850. You need a slotket. A very inexpensive way to almost double. Same 100FSB. No other changes needed.

Hi all. If the floppy worked ok in another motherboard, use the same cable and try it in the Abit BD7II-Raid. If it doesn't work, you have a bad motherboard. If you are booting from the floppy and it doesn't work it can't be the operating system because it hasn't loaded yet. It has to be the...

There used to be three manufacturer's drives I would buy and nothing else. Western Digital, IBM, and Samsung. Now I only will buy from two manufacturer's, Samsung and Western Digital. They are the best. I would never buy a Maxtor. I haven't tried a Seagate since back in the 80's. Samsung...

My Winamp is playing about 4 or 6 seconds of a song and then skipping to the next song. This is happening on various cds. Running Win95. Anybody run into this and how can I cure it. Thanks.

The Sony software works on any cd. I have an AOpen and it works great. Never a problem. Writes at 12X when Nero skipped some data under same conditions. I never touch my computer or have anything running in the background when I write a cd. This problem was described by a few other...

I have a similar problem, burned with Nero. Wouldn't get past a point. I checked the file that it hung on on the CD and there was space for characters in the file but the file was blank, like all spaces. I downloaded Sony CD Extreme and burned with that and installed XP perfectly first time...

I have a Syquest 1.5 internal removable drive on the second IDE port as Master. The motherboard is an Abit BH6. The bios is set for NONE for the second IDE port, master. If I set it to AUTO or put the drive parms in and boot up without a cartridge loaded, the system just sits there trying to...

Got it. Thanks for the help. It's amazing the amount of data that XP puts in the win98 directory when it installs along with setting aside about 100Megs of space for disk undoo programs. Windows is getting worserer every time a new one comes out, but, there isn't anything else. We're all...

I want to install Windows-XP on a clean HD. Windows-XP setup will not run in dos mode. How do you get a clean install on a HD without running Windows (whatever version) in order to start the setup program. I'm disconnecting my C drive and switching my backup drive (now clean) to C. I don't...
