evil, I'm using Firefox to post this :) Kappo, that reg fix is for a different problem (but I did try it -- no luck). I guess I need a way to reset how IE opens when you click on a link in an email or document.

I don't know where else in the forums to ask this... IE is exhibiting a new behaviour that it has never done before, and it's driving me up a wall. Cause is unknown, but probably one of the XP updates or registry hiccup. Normal: 1) Manually running IE, first instance of IE opens where...

Superbright mode is off, and I did do a factory reset. If you are at 10%, then what I am experiencing might be normal for this monitor.

I just picked up an FE2111 and am not sure this is a problem, or just the way this monitor is designed. I have the contrast set to 100% (which is normal), but the brightness I have all the way down to 0%, and it's still a bit bright (if it were possible, I'd dial it -10% or so!). I took...

I see a lot of good comments about Newegg, but there's a lot of room for improvement in the packing and shipping area. FedEx is *usually* better. But that was not the case for the Wacom tablet I ordered from Newegg. Inside the shipping box, the product was sitting on top of foam peanuts, not...

I never thought I would buy a monitor off ebay, but I did that today. A 22" Compaq p1220 (Diamondtron). The seller was only 10 minutes from my house, so I went to take a look. Impressive set up. Not just some people selling used monitors, but a refurbishing business. Large, clean setup. Lab...

The top 22" CRTs are gone forever. Can't find new ones *anywhere*. I waited too long. :( If anyone happens to come across a vendor that is selling any of the monitors below, factory new and sealed, please drop me a private email. IBM C220p NEC FE2111 HP p1230/1220 Compaq p1230/1220...

I am virii free. Or at least as much as you can be with a firewall and Anti-virus software running all the time. The reboots aren't random, they occur only in games, and only after playing them for about 15 minutes, never at startup. This hints at something to do with heat. But I'm not...

No over-clocking Abit NV7-133r, AMD 2000 Visiontek TI-4600 Enermax 431W 1GB Crucial

Symptom: Reboots after playing any game for 15 minutes or so. No video corruption or lock ups. No blue screens (even though auto-reboot is off). No problems at the desktop or in non-game apps. Memtest says memory is ok. CPU temp is ok. Plenty of power. OS and drivers are ok. I popped the...

jbdan: How do I sleep when it's 85-90F? Very uncomfortably! But I've been doing it every summer for many years. It's how I keep so slim. expertnovice: Watercooled would be a solution, but just not something I want to get involved with. I'm sure I'd spring a leak. bushman, theman: A...

That was my first inclination, but I have one of those odd windows. They are vertical, and swing out, not slide. So an AC would require new windows. I've also thought of a floor standing/portable AC, they are quite expensive ($300+), and come with a large hose that needs to be vented out a...

I have an old Lian-Li PC86, which seems to be not good at cooling, but I can't be sure. First, I have the Abit NV7-133R, which has CPU heat sensing issues. I think a +12C error in the beginning, maybe +4-6C after the new BIOS. Second, in the summer, my room gets up to 85-90F. So in...

These two monitors use the same Diamondtron tube, but have different electronics: IBM c220p = 360Mhz bandwidth HP p1230 = 420Mhz bandwidth Higher bandwidth means (I think), higher refresh rates, better image quality at higher resolutions... But if both these monitors are run at, say...
