    Windows Serious Error

    3DMark was on the default serttings, whatever those are. I haven't and would really not rather try a new install of Windows because I just got this computer up only a little while ago and that'll be a last resort.

    Windows Serious Error

    Just recently I was able to install both Splinter Cell and Prince of Persia. They had both been having problems with IntsallShield but somehow magically one time they just decided to install. Anyway. I go through Splinter Cell first, play it for a little bit and then I quit. Instead of...

    Speed half of what it should be?

    It took almost exactly 2 minutes to send a 180,000 KB avi file from the wired computer to the wireless. And about 3 minutes and 10 seconds the other way. I don't know exactly how you want me to use that utility, but I have it.

    Speed half of what it should be?

    Sorry, it just felt like the information you gave wasn't really relavent. I didn't mean anything by it, I just didn't think that it might be my actual wireless connection. Anyway, after that first post I got WPA-PSK working. Yet I still can't transfer anything between the two computers. Both...

    Speed half of what it should be?

    Did you even bother to actually read my first post? Besides the fact that I can't even send files between the two computers yet (Yet another problem I might need to ask help for at some point), that's not what this is about. The actual connection between my two computers is fine. It reads as...

    Anyone?

    Speed half of what it should be?

    I have everything set up fine now (except I still don't have WEP enabled because the wireless card still doesn't like it), except for one thing. On the wireless PC, I went to dslreports and did the speed test like I always do. It came out a little on the low end, so I went to speedguide to...

    Little wireless help please

    Apparently it was something with the security. As soon as I disabled WEP on both the wireless card and the router I got internet for the wireless. Now, how to get them back on without losing the internet again :/

    Little wireless help please

    Yes, I have a green light. Yes, my wired computer is getting internet (I set the router up quite a while before I had a chance to install the wireless card to make sure it worked). Yes, both computers are using xp pro and yes both have the same Workgroup.

    Little wireless help please

    This is the first time I have ever even attempted to set up a network of any kind. I have it to the point where the pc with the wireless card says it is connected to the router I have (both Netgear), but it the wireless pc can't see my wired computer nor can it access the internet. Also, in...

    Free Comcast Speed Upgrade

    Indeed. That actually happened a while ago, even though they only sent an e-mail about it about a week ago.

    Crucial 9700 Pro Refurb $130 + tax?

    Hmm, how much of an upgrade would a regular 9200 be over my 7000? Just wondering since they have some there as well for $60

    Arctic Silver 5 for 5.99 free shipping.

    Same here with SVC. Ordered some on the 6th and no shipping information after two e-mails as well except that my "order has already been packaged and is waiting to be picked up via UPS or USPS."

    [DEAD] Wavebird w/Metroid Prime $16

    I would have done this except the closest k-mart to me now (There was one about a mile from here before it closed) is about 15 miles away, so yeah.

    Xtreme Gear

    A few things worthy of noting. Although on their front page they have it listed at $208, when you click on the link for it the Leadtek 6600GT AGP is $199 with free shipping. Kingston PC3200 512MB 400MHz is $60 ($5.75 shipping). The bad thing about this one is that it's only one per...
