Thanks for the quick reply. I have a question for you. I came across this interactive page: http://www.thewrights.cc/QoS.html which shows the QoS page of Alchemy RC5a, and at the very bottom, I see "Ethernet Port Priority", and then there is Port 1 - Port 4, and each have a priority level...

I have just started using a Linksys WRT54GS v1.1 router. I have a very specific qos need, and want to know if it is possible and which firmware I should use. Right now I am using just the newest official linksys firmware, and it cannot do quite what I need regarding QoS. I don't (yet) need many...

Hi, My friend just bought a "Microsoft Basic Optical Mouse". It has the left button, the right button, and in the middle, a scroll wheel, which can also click down. Right now all the wheel click does, is in ie, bring up a white scroll arrow, so you can scroll down fast by moving the mouse down...

I have a question. I am using Windows XP Pro. I frequently have to format my hard drive, and change out hardware. It is a real pain having to constantly reinstall windows. I have decided, that my best bet is to use norton ghost to create an image. My question is, is there a way to have...

I am going to give you an alternative that is longer to do, but would work better IMO. You said you just installed XP, correct? Well if you don't mind formatting again and reinstalling XP, then you can do something. I had a similar situation as you. I have a hitachi 160GB drive, and when I...

Can you look at your task manager and see what all is running. Maybe there is a process in there that is causing that noise. There is a program that when you run it, it lists all running services/processes, and then gives you a text file to cut and paste, to get help, but I can't remember the...

Can you boot into Safe Mode?

Hi all, I was just wondering what is the cheapest TV out card I can buy, and where can I get it? I am talking about a card that will allow me to view my computer on my TV instead of my monitor. That way I can watch things directly on TV. Please advise. Thanks. SuperG03

Thanks for the replies. I have decided to go with them being primary partitions. As for the page swap file, I created a partition at the begining of the drive, and am putting a dynamic swap file size on it. I have 512MB of RAM and I have read that a good rule of thumb is 1.5x, so I set it for...

I have been trying to figure this out, by reading at various places, but I am still a bit confused. Here is my situation. I had 1 physical hard drive with only 1 partition (using all the space, drive C:), which has Windows XP Pro installed on it. I just recently got another physical hard...

Well that is out of the question. The computer is already there, not going to buy another. Well, wouldn't an account without admin privelages not allow them to save word documents, email, etc.? I thought there were only like two accounts. Admin: with everything and Guest: with extremely...

First off, thanks to all for thier input The reboot thing is understandable and not a big deal. So does that mean you can set windows to automatically download AND install them? So basically with Zone Alarm you are saying I should just start all the programs they will need, and allow those...

Hi all, I have a question. I want to know what is the best software / settings to make a computer system safe and secure with little to no knowledge / interaction by the end user. I want to have a computer for my parents that will keep it safe without them having to do anything. They just...

Hi, I am looking to buy a new hard drive, probably a 60GB one. I definately want ATA 133 and 7200RPM. I also would like the seek time to be as low as possible for a good price. I decided to look on pricewatch, and I found these things called "white label" hard drives. What exactly is...

Hi, I have an ABIT IS7 and 2 x 256 Corsair 3200LL TWINX Dual Channel RAM. I am currently not overclocking at all, and in the BIOS the soft menu is set to default for my processor, which is a P4 2.8c. I just downloaded the latest version of CPUZ (1.19a), and it now shows you the memory...
