Just got a new 'puter and installed a fresh xp pro sp2 system. The system will hang at shutdown if the printer or anything else (external cdrw or harddrive) is connected to the usb ports. If i turn the printer or other device off or unplug it, a few seconds later xp shuts down. It correctly...

It's blank until the desktop, since i don't have a login screen because i'm the only one using it. I still get the blank video in media player unless i manually switch the source back to analog. I tried the DVI cable that came with the monitor and also a DVI-D cable with the same results, no...

I took a look at that, but when i select the secondary(default monitor) the "use this device as primary" is greyed out and the "extend my windows to this monitor" is highlighted. I still have the analog and dvi cables connected so that the boot up screen is available. More playing around to...

That does work with getting video to play in media player, etc. I was hoping i could just use the DVI cable, but i get no boot up screen (no big deal, but would like it) with just the DVI cable. When windows comes up, it works ok. I purchased a DVI-D cable and thought that may work, but...

I just purchased the Samsung 226BW 22" widescreen. I connected the analog and DVI cables. Got everything working, looks great, but now i get no video using any player. I disconnected the DVI cable and the video will play. If i connect just the DVI, i get no signal from the computer, box says...

Thank you! I'd forgotten i even had the switch until i read your reply. Works like a champ now! Thanks again, Jerry

I'm trying to connect a computer in my garage with cat5 instead of using wireless, several walls and low signal. Current setup: Cable modem to linksys wireless G router, cat5 to computer #1, cat5 to computer #2 in living room. I'm trying one of the dual connections like goes in a wall jack...

Lately i've been getting the above at first boot up. It started doing it just about everyday lately. I've tried turning off the quick self test in bios to give the hdd more time to spin up in case thats it, no luck. Usually after a couple of resets, it boots up no problem. I also noticed...

I'm enclosing my back porch and i'm considering running coax and cat 5 for the TV's and computer should i decide to move a computer out there. Right now i have a Netgear MR314 wireless router hard wired to the other computer in another room. The wireless isn't really that good going through a...

It goes router>switch>computers. I don't have directly connected to internet when i run the connection wizard, only the lan and dialup stuff. I ghosted the image and then formatted, install 98SE fresh and the nic drivers and it works great. Now i can't get the sound drivers to install...

I'm trying to setup a computer for my brother in law and can't get the thing to access the internet. I've got 3 computers on my network, 2 with XP Pro and 1 with w98SE. Netgear router, cat 5 to main computer, cat 5 to a linksys switch, then to the other 2 computers. I disconnected one...

I run virus scans about once a week. There are times the computer may not be turned on for a couple days. No hardware changes. And i'm the only one using them. I got pretty much the same comment from HP support---weird. When it acts up like that, i can scan or copy and it runs like it...

I bought the above printer a few months back and its been on 2 different computers with different OS's (98SE and XP Pro) and different usb ports and cable. After initial installation on either computer with latest drivers from HP the printer prints fast. Usually within about 2-3 weeks, it will...

On my P4S533 I have 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 4:5, 4:6 available at 141fsb. JF

I'm not sure what stepping Newegg is shipping, but hopefully you'll get the AGOIA. Before unlocking mine, i had it at 166x10.5 on an Epox 8k3a+. I tried several times to unlock mine, but didn't have much luck. I tried the highspeed pc kit, rear window defogger but finally wound up sending it...
