Rowcroft, This could possibly be caused by failed hardware. However, more often than not, the problem is software. Check your systray for anything running other than the clock, your anti-virus, maybe and instant message program or two, etc. The biggest culprit with this problem is the...

Gary, We use the Belkin splitters regularly at work. You shouldn't need any additional hardware to get it working properly. If you look closely at the end of the splitter where you plug in the keyboard and mouse, you'll see a small K and a small M. Make sure you don't have them switched...

imiloa, The problem here could be any of a number of things. What you need to do is have that customer provide some kind of documentation showing that this beeping after Windows starts actually is an indication that the processor is bad. I have never heard of such of a thing to tell you...

fitzm, 1. Right-click the Taskbar and press Properties. 2. Select the Taskbar tab. 3. Check the Group similar taskbar buttons box. 4. Press Apply and OK.

Well, just glancing over what you've posted so far, here are my 2 ideas for you. #1, if your motherboard uses RDRAM (RAMBUS), they must be installed in like pairs. So, the problem could be that you only have 1 stick of RAM in if the board uses RDRAM. #2, I know this one seems very elementary...

My bad. I was somehow under the assumption that you "upgraded" to the GeForce 2. Yes, that definitely disproves my theory. I can tell you from experience that Windows 2000 isn't the best gaming Operating System around. If you are looking for the benefits of Windows NT without the limitations...

Anita, The ASUS v7700 Deluxe is AGP 2X/4X compatible only. I'm not sure if your motherboard, the Creative M003, is AGP 2X or not. I've looked over the specs of the board and even found the .pdf manual for your motherboard, but it is very vague to say the least. I had the exact same...
