I 'think' I have chosen the Asus A8R-MVP motherboard. I was going to get the A8N VM CSM but was told of problems with that board. My question is: "What is a budget PCIe video card that will allow a computer used for business to fuction with the above motherboard (since the A8R does not have...

Thanks for answering. No, I'm in Texas. Guess I'll keep looking. I was told to look at nForce3 or K8t800 Pro Thank you. At least I know why I can't find it.

Thank you for replying. The only reason I looked at 5 PCI slots is that my current motherboard only has 3 slots and they are all taken. My current is a 1 gig Intel and pretty limited. I didn't want to get into that situation again. Thanks for the clue to look for Nforce 3 or VIA K8T800...

I don't post here often but I do trust the information here. It has helped me in the past. I posted this to General Hardware then my brain kicked in and I realized I should have posted it here. I'm pretty new to this tech stuff but I'm learning. I looked around the net after my business...

I'm pretty new to this tech stuff but I'm learning. I looked around the net after my business partner had a computer built with an ASUS A8N-VM and I found this motherboard. It "seems" to have everything the ASUS has, but with 5 PCI slots. I just can't find it anywhere. EQS A58K9-MLF...

I have 102 temp files that I cannot delete. Does anyone know what program is producing them? I run Win XP Pro, Office 2000, Systemworks 2005, ZoneAlarm (free), Spy Sweeper, Spybot S&D and AdAware. All up to date. I turned them all off and still get the message "File is used by person or...

My thanks to everyone. I'll try the clean install tomorrow and see what happens. The IT at the school where I work that will help me reformat and install. I figured it might have been just a USB port was bad or something. My "upgrade" seems to have gone well except for this pesky mouse...

I realize I am a newbie. This is what I've encountered. I upgraded from 98SE to ME (a "friend" thought he was doing me a favor). My USB/PS/2 compatibile Intellimouse Explorer which worked on 98SE with the USB plugged into a PS/2 converter, would not work on ME (USB or otherwise), even with...

Thank you so much. What is simple to some is not to us but we are learning. Those of you who help in this way will be remembered and blessed for it.

Thank you. We were trying to do some research to find out if Systemworks 2005 was the best solution for a home or home business user. I am glad I found Anandtech. Everyone seems to be very nice and helpful. Thanks for helping those of us that are desparately naive.

I don't know if this is the right place to post this. I tried Technical Support and that was not the right place. Please forgive me if this is incorrect also. I'm trying to learn as I go. My girlfriend ran into this problem. Using Norton Systemworks 2002 it gives the following message...

When my girlfriend uses the "one button" in Systemworks 2002, it comes up and tells her that she has 26 shortcuts that are invalid and can't be fixed. More importantly to her, it says the following: "C:\Program Files\Common...

I want to thank you so much for your kind assistance. I will most assuredly follow your suggestions. Have a good evening.

I'm new. I've been trying to search and read but since my knowledge is limited, I've no idea what half the things mentioned on here are. I'm trying to build (or have built) a system to be used for home business and personal use. I'll have Windows XP Pro academic version. Office 2000. I've...
