hi i'm hoping that you can help me to achieve a specific refresh rate and resolution in Mandrake. i know that my monitor (ViewSonic E790) is capable of doing 1152x864@100Hz, because it's what i use in Windows. i've tried editing the XF86Config-4 file, changed heaps of things, but it doesn't...

thanks muchly, i will try it!

i'm not sure if networking is the best place for this, but what might seem like an obvious question to some has got me stumped. if i put a web page on the net, and i want yahoo, excite, google, etc to actually link to it if i do a search, how do i make the connection. at the moment i have a...

i did this recently and XP wouldn't boot it had major problems i had to format. thing was though i was going from an AMD Athlon to an intel P4, this might not be your case and i think it is fundamental. good luck with it!

any idea which file this cursor is located in? (you know, the one which pops up when you insert a CD) it's not explorer.exe, that actually doesn't have any cursors, and it can't be changed through the mouse control panel option, but i would like to get at it with Resource Hacker. any clues...

did you see this page? << Lindows, (www.lindows.com) has a name that in itself is genius. It's software that combines Linux and Windows without violating any trademark or copyright--although I bet Microsoft will sue at some point. >> this is just inviting publicity caused by a legal debate.

i am having serious trouble with RAID on this mobo. i mention the audio, because i can notice it here. the computer frequently slurs (delays) when playing mp3s for no apparent reason, and usually occurs when i access the hard drive (Windows Explorer or something). i am using the RAID on the...

i am glad they finally got this fixed, the shutdown thing has been bothering me. unfortunately the link at roxio is down though (or just getting too many hits). does anyone know a mirror for the xp_up_platinum.exe file? thx,

i have the sblive player and haven't had any problems. so far i have been using the native XP drivers, and will continue until creative is sure that there won't be issues. these seem to work fine for me, though i have to say that i haven't tested it in games (and won't until the uni semester is...

anyone had any experience with either of these products? i've lost some very important information as a result of a possible virus, and i really need them back. basically, the files have all been reduced to 1 byte and a fair cross section of my HDD seems to be affected. i suspect the information...

it is illegal to use your key on more than one computer, hence the idea of the WPA. when you activate the product a hardware hash will be created and sent to micro$oft. as long as the computer is virtually identical after formatting, you can re-activate quite easily. apparently you can do this...

i've got an acer USB modem which is well supported in win9x/me, but i've never been able to set it up in win2k for lack of NT drivers supplied with it, or available on the net. now that i have XP as my sole OS (besides linux), i can't install the modem and this is a huge problem. XP finds it...

i just saw a SETI monitor and i wondered if there was an equivalent for the distributed.net RC5 client?

i got it fixed. i just reinstalled winXP and it works quite well. it goes through the entire process of an installation but keeps almost everything from the previous installation. i haven't checked if 2K boots yet though...
