    How to paint a case?

    Go here and look at his Enlight mod, he has some really good painting instructions in there. I followed them and it turned out great.

    Ack! WinXP won't install!

    My vote is memory. I had a similar problem, one day I got a corrupted kernel in win2k, couldn't format the drive without errors and couldn't install an operating system at all, even with Win98 I couldn't get past the setup process. Had the hard-drive sent away, didn't solve it. Thought it...

    Win XP and Outlook Express

    I've noticed that if I disable windows messenger in group policies that it takes longer for Outlook Express to start up. That's after telling OE not to log on to messenger at startup as well.

    Redhat 7.0 and GeForce 2 mx

    I installed Rh7.0 and I can boot to the root prompt fine, but when I go to start up X, it quits out on me saying server error: no screens found... I think this is because I don't have the correct driver installed. I checked redhat.com's hardware compatability list and it says the Geforce...

    Redhat 7 install question (n00b)

    Okay, I boot from my install cd, press enter at the boot screen and it tries to load the GUI install. My screen then goes back and kicks out to the load screen and says: Fatal Server Error: No Screens Found Does this mean it doesn't have the drivers for my vid card? (ASUS V7100 GeForce 2mx)...

    Installing win2k using the Promise controller on A7V133...

    Anyone have problems installing win2k using the promise controller on this board? I built three systems for my friends and each with an A7V133, Duron 800, and Maxtor 7200rpm ATA100 30gb drives. The first time I installed it went absolutely fine and then any other time I tried to install (same...

    Problems with A7V133 and Promise ATA100/Raid controller?

    Well, I have tried two low level formats on two different drives. I have also taken the drives over to a friend's house who has an A7V133 and reformatted and the they scandisked with no errors in his machine. Tried switching to the VIA ide controller and doing a low-level format and regular...

    Problems with A7V133 and Promise ATA100/Raid controller?

    Yeah, I know all about pressing f6 to install the drivers. The thing is I can't even get to that point in the install without getting errors. If I do a fresh format and then run scandisk it tells me there are lost clusters and the drive has errors. If I fix it through scandisk, it shows up...

    Problems with A7V133 and Promise ATA100/Raid controller?

    Has anyone out there had any problems with this board and the Promise controller? If you have, what kind of symptoms were you having with it? I think mine failed on me, not too sure. Here's what happened. I couldn't format a drive without some lost clusters being detected (tried 2 brand-new...

    Use a hub like a router? (So to speak)

    Drewski, yes that is NAT. DSL/Cable routers do this as well as programs like WinRoute and the standard ICS. All they do is take any packets passing through the router/computer and change the source ip address in the packet to the IP of the router/computer connected to the external modem. That...

    What kinda temps are you getting with Duron 800, VolcanoII and A7V133?

    Anyone out there have a similar setup? I'm getting 40c idle and 45c full load. I know the A7V's read the temps a bit higher but how much higher? Anyway, from the reviews I've read, the Volcano II gets somewhere in the mid 30's idle with a Duron 800. I'm running the CPU at 133x6 and the temps...

    how the he!! do you remove the volcano II?

    To put mine on I used the end of a socket driver. They are rounded so it holds the little clip better and decreases the chances of it slipping. Haven't tried taking it off yet but putting it on was a breeze.

    painting my case -- how do i remove the top?

    I have an Enlight 7237 and to take off the top panel I had to drill out the rivets holding it on. After that I just used some small bolts to hold it back on. You could get a pop-rivet gun and re-attach it that way but using the bolts allows you to take it off in the future if need be.

    Can't use ICQ behind my firewall!

    I have ICQ 2000b, the latest version I think. I could get it to work when I had zone alarm setup but I switched to WinRoute and now no dice (diff is I'm going through a proxy server now - winroute). WinRoute doesn't log anything saying that it's dropping packets when I try to connect so I...
