    Shuttle AK31A and 4in1 problem

    I have a homebuilt running an AMD 1700+ on a Shuttle AK31A motherboard.

I ran the...

    Hot or not? Asus A7N266-VM AA $71.99 shipped

    Yes, the computer came with 128 and was running Linux. I put in another 256 immediately to bring it up to 384 and installed XP. It probably would have operated faster with Linux, but for a computer for the grandkid's I did not want to take the time to learn a new OS and hunt around for some...

    Hot or not? Asus A7N266-VM AA $71.99 shipped

    Unfortunately, my plan was just to make these computers more useful. It may turn out that the cost of upgrading is more than it is worth. The tag on the back says they arre Behavior Tech Model 12-SS-M786, no other information is found. The owner's manuals have gone missing.... (I hate losing...

    I hate DELL... pls help me get around this

    Slick..... After making these attempts I was getting a message each time XP started that their had been "serious errors" I could not get Norton DD to run and I assumed that the message I was getting from Norton about some other application controlling the disk was due to these errors. Therefore...

    I hate DELL... pls help me get around this

    As I already had used Partition Magic Pro 7 to do the initial partitioning, it seemed the best choice to use it to change the file system back to FAT32. I disabled GoBack.... Then I uninstalled GoBack..... I attempted to run Partition Magic from windows for the conversion..... it reboots to...
