Just thought I'd give everyone an update. I spoke to NEC, and the level 2 tech there. They said they could not replace the monitor for two dead pixels no matter where they are. So I spoke to newegg, and they will refund my money minus the 15% restocking fee. I guess it could be worse, at...

Sorry, I didn't realize that as fraud. If merchandise is currently on sale, and you purhcased it before it was onsale, sometimes store will let you return it to get the sale price. I thought that this was kind of the same thing, but obviously I was wrong. So I guess I will return it to...

I just purchased a NEC LCD1760V display from newegg. On arrival, it has 2 dead pixels, on the left side of the screen and one pretty much in the dead center of the screen. The one on the left is hardly noticeable, but the one in the center is bright yellow, and extremely distracting. Whenever...

I have used the IBM Model M, my favorite keyboard.. and where I got my username from :) Unfortunatley, I accidently dropped the one I had and totaled it. I purchased two off ebay, but they weren't functional.. doh! So right now I'm using a NMB RT-8255CW, also and excellent keyboard. My mouse...

Thanks guys! Yah, I don't know what I was thinking. I guess I forgot that entries don't need to be distinct.

As part of my internship, I have been asked to create a database for some acronyms that my company frequently uses. I am going to create the database in Access, but I find that some of the acronyms have more than one definition. Basically, I would like to create a linked list. Right now I can...

Hello, I have the Fujitsu MAN3184MP SCSI hard drive, and lately it's been giving me some problems. I am using it with an Adaptec 2940U2W SCSI card. When I start the computer, the adaptec BIOS says that there is a hardware error, and I am only able to boot from the disk if I move the connector...

I have a Duron 1.2Ghz, and a Radeon 7500 I'm getting 4353. My score is low, but it doesn't really matter since I'm not really into PC Gaming.

I know the SCSI vs IDE debate has been done to death, but this question is more specific to my PC. Right now, I have a Fujitsu MAN3184MP SCSI 18.4 GB hard drive, and a 120GB IDE Hard drive. Unfortunately, I'm not 100% sure of the model, but I think it is an IBM. Anyway, my computer detects it...

I installed Norton System Works, and it changed the name of my recycling bin to "Norton Protected Recycling Bin." Not that I have uniinstalled it, the name remains. Does anyone know how to change it back to "Recycling Bin". I'm using Windows XP.

Hello, right now I'm taking a class in assembly programming. Unfortunatley, there isn't a text book associated with my class, and it meets quite early so it is quite difficult for me to take notes. Does anyone know any good resources on the internet or perhaps a book I coould purchase that can...

I had a problem with my ATI TV Wonder, and I searched the helped files on the ATI Website. Anyway, the solution says to hold the shift key while executing the program. I tried this, and it worked. I was wondering what does the shift key instruct the computer to do? Also, does anyone know how...

my internet gets disconnected if i upload more than 300MB in a 24 hour period if i cap the connection so its impossible to transfer 300mb in a day, then i don't have to worry about it. a 10mbits/second nic will still be way to fast. i only have one comp so i guess that won't work.

I wish to cap the speed on my upstream traffic. Anyone know which program I can use?
