Hi! I'm using the DC++ client. I've read somewhere that it has excellent resume ability. Well, not in my case... :( Several times it has failed to resume download, saying: "rollback inconsistency, existing file does not match the one being downloaded". What can be the reason? Thanks in...

That's the problem, that everything which is in onnection w/ HDD performance like IDE prefetch, block mode, etc. is enabled in the BIOS...

DMA is enabled. Primary IDE Channel, two choices: PIO only, DMA if available. Below I can't change the value and it is Multi-Word DMA 2. Mobo is Mercury KOB 133a FSX, ATA 100 should be OK. At the boot summary screen it also says ATA 100 but in Windows not any more.

Hi! What can be the problem? The drive is a 20GB 5400rpm Maxtor (2B020H1). OS is XP Professional, I've read somewhere that Win2000 has this problem also. Says PIO but devices operate at ATA100. But in my case benchmark programs only show max. 16MB/s? Have you noticed something like that, too...

I recently bought a new case w/ a 300W PSU. The PSU is made w/ PFC technology which is supposed to save energy and has better heat dissipation. But does this also mean that the PSU fan is hardly moving any air out compared to my old case? I haven't noticed any overheating yet but I don't want...

Yeah... I was afraid. Is it totally dead or is it repairable? Maybe there are only some nice dustballs inside. Anyways, what brand would you recommend for my next buy or does it really happen to all of them? So far I was so satisfied with LG. :(

Hi! I have a problem with this burner, it worked just fine for almost a year now. Recently it started to look for inserted CDs even for minutes freezing up Windows Explorer and you can only navigate slowly in the folders on the CD. This doesn't happen with all the CDs though. Copying to HDD can...

Hi guys! I got my new camera yesterday. I was really disappointed when the supplied batteries wore down in just one day. I could only turn the camera back on when flash was set to off. Then I replaced the batteries today and it still turned off itself right away when I tried to set it to flash...

Hi! I don't get the mouse pointer if I work w/ Norton Commander or Ghost. I have an ECS K7S5A mobo (BIOS ver:3.1, rev: 6) Mouse is A4Tech SWW-25. What might be the problem?

I've never heard of these. Where can I set them and what do they do?

Hi! I have an Inno3D Tornado Geforce2 MX400 64MB video card w/ TV-out. Mobo: ECS K7S5A, CPU: Thunderbird 900 MHz. This config only scored 1200-1300 points in 3DMark 2001 default benchmark, although it's supposed to get over 3000, I guess. (O/S: Windows XP Pro, video driver: Detonator 21.83) FPSs...

Hi! I have a dial-up internet connection. How come Win XP detects the modem as not present if I don't turn it on before I turn on the computer? That way I have to restart the system with the modem turned on, which is really anooying. Is there a solution to this? Another question: How do I get...

Hi! I have a Duron 700 based system. I just installed an addidtional 256 MB RAM module, so now I have 384 MB physical memory. My problem is that my benchmark results haven't changed (eg. in 3DMark) How come? Am I not supposed get better results with more RAM? Anyways there hasn't been a...

Hi! I got an dot printer (Star NB 24-10) which worked perfectly fine under Win95. Since I upgraded to Win98 it prints all messed up from every Windows application. It prints nice from DOS so I guess it's not a hardware problem. (I've tested it on several machines.) I emailed Star to send me a...
