My campus San Diego State, or at least the department I work for, uses Netware for networking together thousands of faculty computers. I think it is most commonly used for large LAN's so the most use probably is for large companies, colleges and things like that. I wouldn't use it for my...

I was seeing one more DNS server than he was, even though we both didnt have any entered in. I changed my setting so I'd only see the two that he does, but it didnt help. The only places we differ now are the default gateway, subnet mask and ip address. My ip address isnt something I can...

For some reason with my NIC I can only have a node type of peer-peer. So I can only see computers that are on the campus network, but cant connect to any internet sites. I'm using the same jack with my roomies computer and it is fine. I'm just wondering if there is a way to change the node...

For one the 5500 is probably a good card for you because you don't want a GF2, use Win2K and play mainly glide games. (UT and Rune). Now if you want to take a risk the Raedon DDR is a faster card in Win98 and will be a faster card in Win2K if ATI can get their a$$ is gear and write better...

Try updating all your drivers/bios since this may solve some of your problems. Also what is your real world performance (i.e. fps in games) since you may get poor 3dmark scores, but if your game performance is top notch and where it should be then you dont really have a problem.

My microsoft sidewinder game pad was one of my best deals ever. I got paid about $7 S&H and tax included to be the proud owner of one. I forget the details, but it was about $22 from buy.com plus $20 from buy.com plus a $10 rebate from microsoft it came to about $3.00 before the rebate so...

Elsa has admitted that their cards are actually made by Vision Tek. Visiontek is I believe is mainly an OEM distributor which is why their cards are so cheap, they are all OEM. It uses the reference design and performs on par with any other GF2 32MB. It doesn't have a TV-out either, but if...

go into control panel--> display--> advanced--> adapter--> change You should have the reference drivers downloaded from nvidia. You should uninstall all video drivers at this point. Now what you do is when you change your adapter use the have disk option. With have disk you can manually...

Also if you are on a LAN disable file sharing, especially larger ones like at a college. For some reason in the dorms when someone tries to view you on the network it just slows down the computer to extremely slow speeds. I used to have file sharing on and had this happen, turned it off it...

thx for the help, since that makes complete sense, since this usually happens after a bad shut down, which would explain the temp files not getting deleted.

glad you could get your computer fixed, and remember to avoid this in the future. Do not open strange email attachments, and since you got this virus because AOL automatically ran it/unzipped it you should disable that feature as well. I don't know how to do it since I don't use AOL, but just...

if it's a recent problem then RAM isn't the likely issue here. I still suggest you upgrade if you are going to be running Win2K anyways, just because 128MB is the lowest most people would recommend for Win2K. Do what priit says if you haven't, reinstall, if that doesn't work format then...

I think we all forgot that a majority of OEM motherboards actually have to have their jumpers set manually. If you get a slotket, which converts PPGA (your celeron) to FCPGA (new celerons) then you should be fine. The jumpers on the slotket are the ones you have to set, since your motherboards...

Well, you can change what program opens a file type when the file is double clicked. You probably have to tell windows to open .txt files with the notepad in c:\windows. try doing that first. I forget where you do this, and I'm on a restricted NT machine right now, so I can't exactly where to...

I dunno, same thing happens to me too and I have WinME. This obviously is more than just a single computer problem. I thought it was just me, but obviously WinME has some major issues. BTW what is your system spec Mine is: Celeron 566@850 Asus TNT 128MB crucial RAM Maxtor DiamondPlus40...
