    Firefox 49 Released

    Been using Pale Moon for the last couple of years because Firefox got so bloated and slow I couldn't stand it anymore. Pale Moon has had its issues too, but overall I've struggled through their growing pains. My wife & I have older machines so we need for the browser to open and navigate the...

    Images only advancing by the half-screen

    My wife has been having a problem I have never encountered before and have no clue how to resolve. Lately, when she brings up her MSN homepage and clicks on a news story that has images you can advance by clicking an arrow to the right or left, the image will go to a split screen, where half...

    Turning your computer off when not in use & @ night...

    I turn mine off if I'm going to work for 8 hours, going away for several hours, or going to sleep at night. Otherwise mine stays on, if I walk away from it for a little bit (hour or 2) I'll just turn the monitor off. Don't use Windows Power Options, they've been buggy as hell for me in the...

    Computer fails to power up completely

    For the time being (until I get whatever it is I'm putting in here for the long term), I reinstalled the motherboard I had in here previously, reconnected my 80gb hard drive with XP on it, updated a few things, I'll be good at least until I can get a new motherboard. Got tired of using that laptop.

    I appreciate the effort, that board might be nice if it suppoorted more than 2gb of memory.

    Computer fails to power up completely

    Thanks guys, I'll give these ideas a try although it will probably be Thursday before I can do anything (been working my ass off lately). Forgot to mention in my OP that I'd shut everything down, removed the motherboard battery, reset the bios via the the CMOS reset pins, set it back to...

    !!! QueryDosDevice failed. More data is available.

    The flash drive has data on it I don't want to lose. Besides, it does the same thing with several different flash drives. The drive configuration is correct for this computer: Drive A: Floppy drive Drive C: OS install Drive D : DVD-RAM drive Drive E: DVD-RAM drive Drive F: Card Reader Drive...

    !!! QueryDosDevice failed. More data is available.

    I'm wondering if it's a driver issue or a hardware issue. The Hyperion Pro drivers (5.24A) are the same ones I've used before (released June 09, 2009), I wouldn't think an updated (even if it is updated) processor driver would cause that. The audio driver is the same one I've used before, same...

    !!! QueryDosDevice failed. More data is available.

    Additional info: The first time I clean-installed XP (yesterday), I installed the Hyperion Pro drivers, then installed an updated V-Raid driver (because I like to have the latest drivers). This time (after a LLF) I just installed the Hyperion Pro drivers. This motherboard has SATA...
