    Help buying 19 in monitor

    Price range? Cheap, but I want a monitor that is both bright and doesn't put undue stress on my poor eyes. Not more expensive than the two I listed in the initial post. (Here in Sweden they cost around 2,300-2,400 SEK, but that's hardly much help) Edited: Holy crap! That NEC you recommend might...

    Help buying 19 in monitor

    I'm about to buy a new monitor. It will be a 19 inch crt. The choice is primarily between these two: - Philips 109B50 - Samsung SyncMaster 957MB Main use: gaming. Thankful for advice and help, because I could not find any review about the Philips monitor. Perhaps I shouldn't buy either of...

    plugin131_02.trace --- What is this?

    Found the file: plugin131_02.trace in my Windows directory (Win98SE). Anyone know what it is? Is it a virus of some sort? What should I do? Everything seems to run as usual.

    Computer restarts or programs stop - why?

    Ok here is what I just did: Removed CR-RW and put the 48x CD player back in as slave to the HD. Removed one of the 128MB RAM sticks so there is only one stick left now. Previously I had the HD as primary master and CD-RW as secondary master, with no slaves. I installed BG2 with Throne of Bhaal...

    Computer restarts or programs stop - why?

    My computer is behaving erratically. At times win98se restarts itself and other times when I'm playing games they get interrupted and either freeze or you simply "pop out" of them to the desktop. Also there are problems installing several games (for example Baldur's Gate 2, Diablo 2 expansion)...

    SB 64 PCI will not work/be found by Windows

    I finally found the full driver at http://www.driverguide.com/uploads/uploads2/5633.html :) Why, oh why, does creative.com not supply this file? :( Sure, I was only a few hour away from chucking my soundcard and buying a new one, but that's no way to treat your customers.

    SB 64 PCI will not work/be found by Windows

    << try installing audiopci drivers from soundblaster.com >> The only I found were for PCI 128. I don't want to try installing that. The CD that came with my ASUS A7V133 MoBo had SB PCI 128 software which I tried installing but it screwed up the whole system so I had to do a complete reinstall...

    SB 64 PCI will not work/be found by Windows

    In the System manager I get a big yellow question mark in front of this: &quot;PCI Multimedia Audio Device&quot; I have a SB PCI 64 and it worked just fine earlier (when I used Win ME). I have just reformated my HD and made a clean install of Win 98 SE. What is wrong? What should I do to get...

    UN ranking of nations -- bad news for Canada and the US :(

    The ranking is based on the following four criteria: - Life expectancy - Adult literacy - School enrolment - Economic prosperity as measured by per capita gross domestic product or GDP. US has an adult population literacy of 97%. That is quite bad, but not unexpectedly so. If a statictic such...

    Problem --> "Error extracting support files: Access Denied"

    Your suggestion seemed to work because the installation wizard went through all the motions of &quot;patching stuff&quot; for a long time, but when trying to play it pops out just after loading the game. Looking at the folders it doesn't seem like it has added any Livin it Up files at all...

    Problem --> "Error extracting support files: Access Denied"

    The problem: Trying to reinstall The Sims (game). I had The Sims + Livin it Up + House Party installed. Uninstalled it all. Removed the Maxis folder from registry. Reinstalling The Sims works fine and plays fine. When trying to install either Livin it Up or House Party I get the message...
