    When I open My Computer on WinXP the folder seems to hang, what's causing this???

    I had a similar problem. I uninstalled NAV 2002 and it fixed it. I went with a different AV program.

    Adding a second vid card to my rig

    Well, the system works good with the AGP Geforce3 Ti 200 and the PCI ATI Radeon 7000. I installed UntraMon 2 beta 6 and am enjoying my dual 21" setup!

    Adding a second vid card to my rig

    I just picked up an ATI Radeon 7000 32mb PCI card, so I'll see what happens tonight! Dual 21" should be sweet

    Adding a second vid card to my rig

    I run WinXP Pro. So you're ok with an Nvidia AGP and ATI PCI together? Hmmmm

    Adding a second vid card to my rig

    I have a Geforce3 Ti200 AGP card and I want to add a second monitor. Should I just get another PCI card like a Geforce2 MX200/Geforce4 MX420 to run that off of? Also, would I run into serious problems dropping in an ATI based PCI card when I have the Nvidia card in there now? Would there be...

    Stinky rounded cables

    Duh, I should have thought about drilling. Thanks. Are you using rounded cables too with the live drive?

    Sound Blaster Live Drive & rounded cables

    I bought a SB Live Platinum 5.1 with the Live Drive IR. I like to keep this system neat, so I use rounded cables. I hate the ribbon cable going between my SB and the Live Drive. I have heard some people say standard IDE cables will work, and some say they used rounded cables. I tried and had...

    What is the best wireless pc card?

    I've used a Linksys wireless card, and I hated it! I had to use old drivers and the config utility to get WEP to work at all. I sold the card and bought a Xircom unit with 128bit encryption. The Xircom is fantastic (and supposedly made by Cisco) and even works great in my iPaq.
