If you are running winxp there is no true dos anymore. Also if you formated your hard drives to NTFS, you will not be able to see them if you boot to dos with a win98 boot disk. Usher

Flashed to the newest bios on the laptop... checked for irq conflicts... installed all the latest critical updates and drivers for xp... the problem still persist... I tried using the card in another compaq presario that was slightly newer, running win98, and got the same problem. I think I am...

I have had the long file name problem before with kazaa. The easiest way I found to get rid of them is to copy all the files you want to keep out of the directory of the long file. Then go to that directory in dos or the cmd prompt. Once there just do a del *.* If that doesn't work then you...

Whenever my D-link dwl-650+ 802.11b wireless card is enabled my laptop speakers start to make a rythmic beeping noise. The laptop is a Compaq presario 1200-xl111. Does anyone have any ideas how to stop the noise? I also havn't had a chance to test if the card actually connects to a network. I...

It seems like UBID tells their customer support to deny all problems at first and play email games with you. Their customer support is horrible and they won't give you a phone number to call. Many products are mislabled. For instance I ordered a geforce2 mx w/TV out... the card they sent...

I know its not the win2k box. I set up a two win98 computer network with the switch. Still does request time out for at leat 1 out of 4 packet request using the dos ping command. As stated earlier it worked fine for a year and then just started acting up. Usher

Okay... the network setup is just internet connection sharing with a win2k computer as the internet server. The internet server is set to ip of 192.168.0.1 and the others on the network obtain their ip's automatically. One win2k system(internet router), and 3 Win98 computers. The cables are...

I have and 4 port SMC EZ switch 10/100 it is has been working fine for a year. Now it is randomly dropping packets. Does anyone have any ideas what inside the switch could degrade to cause this or how to open up the switch without tearing it up. I know it is the switch dropping packets, it was...

I actually tried another power supply... I am leaning towards it being the motherboard... Hopefulyl I will be able to test my system with someone elses motherboard tonight. Thanks for the ideas. Usher

Has anyone heard of Jetway motherboards? Just had an abit motherboard go out on me and was looking for a cheap yet hopefully reliable replacement. Also... does anyone know how long a warranty comes with retail abit motherboards? Usher

I am working on a slot Athlon 700 mhz system with an KA7 abit motherboard. The monitor went black while my brother was surfing the web. He had to do a hard reboot and nothing worked. The only thing that I can tell on the motherboard is that the fans are powered up. I removed everything...

thanks for the input. The system isn't overheating... will check on the ram.

My friends computer randomly reboots itslef. No blue screen... Just one second working fine and then the next a black screen as it restarts. Don't think it is any applications cause it does it when doing different things, and I have seen it reboot without any applications open. Anyone have any...

Thanks for the input :) Figured it out before I read your post... The motherboard came with the cmos reset switch on... I think someone at the factory just wanted to mess with my head.

Building a new system and my Tyan Tiger 133 motherboard won't boot up with the antec ps. What components do I need on the motherboard just to see if it will boot up? (I know the problem isn't the powersuppy or the cpu) Right now I think the motherboard is DOA.
