    Problem with my Gateway FPD2485W LCD Monitor ?

    I've had this display for a couple of months now and am generally happy about it. There are some occasional backlight problems in the corners on a rare occasion but I've noticed something else I'm not sure if I should be concerned about or not. With one particular game I've noticed a couple...

    Please Help ...laptop will not boot into Windows

    Thank you for your continued help. Both Win OS disks are both bootable on the new desktop ... just not the laptop. But since those 'restore disk' from the new desktop will boot up on the laptop....doesn't that mean that the DVD/CD Drive is working? I just don't get it.

    Bad ASUS P5N32-SLI SE Deluxe Motherboard??

    I received my new system from Velocity Micro about three weeks ago. I should also say that when I tried to boot up the very first time, things started to proceed, then nothing else happened. After a call to Velocity they pointed me to the Bios where, against company policy, someone had sent it...

    Has my PIII finally died??

    When the boot up screen freezes at the PCI Device Listing screen, there are no sounds, no blinking lights, etc., that would indicate it's doing anything. Only the power light is on. As I mentioned earlier, 'sometimes', if I just let it sit there for 5 to 10 minutes it may start acting as if...

    Trouble with Uninstalling Norton Products

    I'm trying to help a friend of mine who recently updated his Norton Anti Virus 2003 to version 2006. Also included with the update was the Norton Internet Securies 2006 suite (not a good idea in my own opinion). He asked that I help him remove both programs completely from his system. I...
