    HANNS-G 21.6 Display?

    Thanks, most things look a little better now. I reset the resolution to the 1680 x 1050 (previously tried every one up to 800 x 600 - one notch at a time) and then increased the dpi to 150% of normal or 144 dpi. The letters themselves looked stressed for most of those settings but the...

    HANNS-G 21.6 Display?

    Thanks! I was referring to the screen as a whole including email, IE, etc. I did change the view text size to the largest in IE and it seemed to help with most screens - at least it is no longer micro text. Just seemed that if the monitor can make the smaller text look so good, it...

    HANNS-G 21.6 Display?

    Hello! Wondered if anyone could possibly provide some insight into my problem. I bought the Hanns-g 21.6 monitor and it seemed to have good specs. It claims to have good resolution down to 1680 x 1050 and it does look good at that resolution although the text is pretty small. When I...

    Controll computer remotely?

    VCN looks pretty good, but it has a monthly payment. I found something called radmin that looks like might work, a one time payment and I could work on his machine if he had problems. I had thought of software as if I had a teenager that I was trying to monitor, that might send back emails...

    Controll computer remotely?

    At home, he complains about our mayor of Jewish heritage, likes to use the "n" word to describe blacks, doesn't like polish, germans, etc. using racial slurs for all, thinks Judge J*dy and Court tv are the way the world goes, etc. He is an equal opportunist in this regard. Actively thinks...

    cpu temps down almost to mobo temp

    Thanks for the suggestions. I've contacted the online store, and even though it only had a 3 month oem warranty, they seem willing to work with me on this. I'm going to try and switch out the cpu before I send it back just to find out the answer. The temps were sudden as was the under...

    cpu, ram, or Mobo bad??

    cpu temps down almost to mobo temp

    Posted in technical advice but no takers, maybe since the processor is the most telling - someone here might have an idea about the problem. CPU temps have dropped to temp of mobo. CPU mips down to a 1/3 of normal as is the ram. Which is the more likely....cpu bad, ram bad, or motherboard...

    Which mobo & chip for Registered DDR 3200??

    Please excuse the new post, but I posted in Memory and got no responses. I bought the wrong memory [Corsair XMS Extreme Memory Speed Series, 184Pin 1GB(512MBx2) Registered DDR PC-3200 - Retail] when building my first computer, couldn't return it, and now I would like to build a computer...

    Choosing your Ram

    I bought the wrong memory [Corsair XMS Extreme Memory Speed Series, 184Pin 1GB(512MBx2) Registered DDR PC-3200 - Retail] when building my first computer, couldn't return it, and now I would like to build a computer around it. Not necessarily looking to build a monster (it's for my wife)...

    *** Official ASUS P4C800/Deluxe (875P) Thread ***

    Xeon, I did that too. Not only did we check, we took the entire mobo out of the case (while keeping the power, a few fans, the hdd, and the optical drives. The mobo was resting on cardboard about a half inch away from the case. While out, we swapped graphics cards AND monitors. Same result...
