    windows explorer crashes often in win7 64 bit pro

    Hi All. I ran the RC just fine for several months, but am now running 64 bit Win 7 Pro and often have windows explorer crashes when I try to rename a file, change icon properties, the usual stuff that was never an issue before. There is no info on this at the MS site - in fact their email to...

    Just installed Windows 7

    So it's got a new look, it's still Vista SE. Loading and file copy don't seem so speedy to me. And what is it with the fish?

    Installed Windows 7 as a dual boot, not Vista won't boot up

    Hi All. I installed Win7 64 bit on a dual boot XP Pro and Vista 64 Business. (Each on a separate partition on a velociraptor 300). It loaded just fine. Win 7 worked fine (but did not have drivers for a creative xi-fi card, again). Vista 64 works fine, too. Alas, in XP, I got a chkdsk...

    The Unofficial ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Board Thread

    Hi StiqUK I have a XiFi - no problems with bios 401 in the past or 1101 now. When I first bought the board the drivers were awful - but over the past 12 months the latest drivers ran fine in XP and both 32 and 64 bit vista for me. 1101 finally got me 800 speed on memory, worth the update...

    The Unofficial ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Board Thread

    hi. Yeah, the board's officially old these days. me. I just up'ed to 1101 and the memory hole's gone. I have 3 GB in four slots, now running at 800 with 4-4-4 timing. I used a floppy but a usb stick should work too. Followed these directions and used all the switches. No clear cmos...

    which speakers

    Swans M-10. The woofers on these logitechs have had a run of broken parts - the tube connecting to the woofer port being badly glued and arrives broken after shipping. Yeah they can be fixed but the shipping is more than the speakers; opening them on your own a serious trail and often...

    Best Free File Encrytion Software for Win XP?

    What have you all used for file encryption software? I am looking for free or very low cost options. There are several available, so I wondered what ones you all find best. I plan to encrypt a small partition on my data drive, and to do the same on my free agent portable. (I have not yet...

    The Unofficial ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Board Thread

    Hi All. I am a noob to memory over clocking. Following Justageek's good advice, I am running 3 GB of GSkill 6400 CL5 memory (2 1 GBs in black slots, 2 512s in yellow slots - all are good singly and have passed a run of memtest). But, the four sticks to make 3 GB dual channel won't POST at 800...

    The Unofficial ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Board Thread

    Hi Justageek. Thanks for your earlier help - I completely forgot about two sticks for DDR! So, I'm trying two 512 sticks along with my two original 1G sticks. One at a time, the 512s will each boot normally at 1.92 or 2.01v and stock timing, but post stops at memory check with all 3gb...

    problem with esata in Visat 64

    I have tried NVidia and Asus drivers for sata under Vista 64 bit with no luck. Everything else works just fine and I have had no compatibility issues with older programs (like Photoshop 7, freebie utilities) Anybody have a suggestion as to a fix? Thanks.

    Take 2 - no cat on keyboard. Hi Justageek. I want to add a third 1GB stick of GSkill memory - what slots are you using? (mine is GBNQ run stock at 1.9v on a dual boot XP + Vista Enterprise system) Cheap enough to give it a try. Thanks in advance.
