    What would you say?

    I couldn't log in forever and my request to reset my password to this forum was missed for years I guess. They just reset it for me today and here I am. Wow. This is an old post but I hate to leave stuff unanswered so here is my reply to "Toyota's question" I don't know what the power supply...

    What would you say?

    Sorry folks. I was in a hurry. The old setup was a Pentium IV 3.0 w/HT. It has the 9600 in it and all I play is UT(99) and UT 2004. The "newer" yet still old system is a Dell Precision T3400 Workstation. It has a Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz. It list 4 times in device manager...

    What would you say?

    I just got my first multi-core desktop. It already has 2 video cards in it. Neither of which are built in. There is no on-board video on this multi-core desktop. I also already have a pretty good video card in my single core desktop so I'm thinking I'd like the best video card in my best...

    chkdsk e: /r with WIN 7 nuked my drives...

    I'm sorry for the delay in responding back like I said I would to this. Yes, it was the USB adaptor. Not all of the time but certainly most of the time when connected to my Win 7 professional PC it would not be able to show there were files or anything on a hard drive. I resorted to only using...

    XP chokes but not Windows 7 during install...

    Thank you folks! Yes, the laptop came with XP on it originally. No, I do not have the original disks that came with it and the restore type feature that Dell offers isn't available anymore on the hard drive. I did try different versions of the XP disk being one with SP3, one with SP2 and one...

I was putting Windows XP Pro on it but each time, during the intitial setup at 34 minutes remaining during the Installing Drivers portion of the install, the laptop would blue screen. usually with a paging a non page area type...

    Best processor for my Intel D945GTP mobo?

    Thanks Conroe! I have felt that this PC is pretty fair speed wise. Do you think it is just time for me to man-up and buy something new. Is the new stuff really that much better? At work I use a E4500 Intel Core2 Duo and I don't feel it is any faster than my at home PC with my Pentium IV 3.0 /HT

    Best processor for my Intel D945GTP mobo?

    I have this Intel D945GTP motherboard running WIN 7 Ultimate 64bit with the maximum of 4gb of ram. I currently have a Pentium IV 3.0Ghz W/HT processor in it. I'd like to upgrade it to the best there is if it isn't cost prohibitive. I checked on the FAQ page for my board to see what it said I...

    chkdsk e: /r with WIN 7 nuked my drives...

    OK folks. I have to agree. It has to be the USB adaptor or something odd like that. I will plug it in directly tomorrow and try a few things. I'll come back here and let you know what happens. Have a great day folks and thanks again for you replies!

    chkdsk e: /r with WIN 7 nuked my drives...

    I'm at work. The HR Director's PC started rebooting over and over. All cooling fans are on and the room is cool so I suspect the HDD or the the OS. I took the drive out and hooked it up to my PC through a univeral adaptor that plugs into my PC via a USB port. I started up my PC and I see the...

    Script for clearing inactive PC accounts?

    I was hoping the script or whatever tool we use can be modified to look at usage or some other data like that and then react based on that. I have scripts now that go into folders and determine how old certain types of files are and then it nukes all of the files that are now to old based on...

    Script for clearing inactive PC accounts?

    This is work related and I'm sorry for that but this is best place I know of to get the best answers fast. At work we have several inactive computer accounts in our domain. I'm looking for a tool to run through or against our Active Directory that will identify and remove these computer accounts...

    Outlook 2003 PST to Outlook 2007 PST?

    I'm sure someone here knows the quick answer so I'll be short with the description of the issue I face. I had Outlook 2000 back then and have always kept all of my email. When I upgraded to Outlook 2003, I simply copied my .PST file from the old install and pointed the new Outlook to it...

    Game crash, artifacts plus a screeching sound

    I had a PC that did stuff like that. I did read your entire post and did see that you said temps were fine. Did that include the CPU? My pc would get too hot. It would lock up, the video would tear and screw up badly and that awful screech would scream through the speakers. I ended up having...
