    Just tried to run chkdsk on the laptops c drive and getting some unrecoverable data and letting it run all night only got thru 1%. This all started when the laptop would not boot up and gave the repair your computer dialog.

    win 7 trouble from "re-image your computer"

    I was able to get the re-image program to work and I thought I solved my own problem, I clicked next and it started to do its thing. BUT, "the system image restore failed" error details: the request could not be performed due to an I/O device error (0x8007045d) I googled it and see where...

The files that windows backup made on the (external HDD) I'm using consist of a folder titled backup set 2013-12-19 091856 in which there is a backup files folder with 7 .zip files (backup files...

    network problem with remote building

    I don't think the reception is the problem. Fiber would be ideal but I can't dig for another cable run at this point. The building is fed by a 4 wire conductor, single phase power, neutral and ground. Neutral buss bar disconnected from ground buss bar in outbuilding, Neutral in outbuilding...

    network problem with remote building

    I have a workshop building located 320' ft from my home, home network router located about 460' total from the shop pc. When I ran power to the building I buried two flooded cat5e and 2 coax cables for PC, TV, alarm, telephone and internet. I figured I'd give straight ethernet a shot, even...

    why does add to favorites save me 2 links, one of which doesn't work?

    I do have AVG installed; have you tried without it? I have had link scanner disabled since I installed it, since it was slowing down the browser in my last machine. let me know if removing it worked for you... thanks tom

    why does add to favorites save me 2 links, one of which doesn't work?

    I've just imported shortcuts into a new win7 64 build from an old xp machine; those all work fine, but most of the time now when I save a new bookmark I get 2 entries- one that doesn't work. I get "problem with shortcut the target of this internet shortcut is not valid. go to the internet...

    mouse frozen on wakeup

    My splitter arrived today, which will allow me to plug a mouse AND keyboard into the SAME ps2 port. Of course true to form only the mouse was detected and the keyboard does not work. Ugh. so now maybe I'll try a ps2 to usb adapter so I can use my ps2 keyboard in a usb port. If that won't...

    How to best secure my bike?

    4x8...or 3x6...the bike takes up close to that amount of room standing there anyway. might also bolt it into one of those concrete parking lot bumper things: http://midstateconcrete.com/product/147/Parking-Lot-Bumpers.html on the angled part so you can still get the wheel in.

    How to best secure my bike?

    that kryptonite anchor is good for about 45 seconds under a cutoff wheel... the thing I mentioned attached to a 4x8 sheet of something would be much more of a hassle.. t

    How to best secure my bike?

    I went through a lot of this when I lived in philly. Bums kept steaking my cable locked bike cover, probably to use as shelter. I used a yamaha folding lock(which I don't think is made anymore, kind of like a folding kryptonite) with a large pipe tee over the locking part. This was looped...

    IE windows slower and slower to close the longer pc is on

    running IE8 and when I go to close a tab it takes a very long time for the tab to close or the IE window to close. The length of time till it closes is longer the longer I use the machine- when I first start out everything works as it should but gradually I get to the point where I need to...

    sleeping PC does not maintain connection

    I'm just getting used to my new SB build, win7pro running on a p8p67 deluxe. On my old win xp machine, when it woke up there was no delay in getting connected to the internet (my PC is on 24/7). On this new one, it looks like it is reconnecting at wakeup and takes about 20 seconds to...

    bootup too fast to enter bios setup!?

    My new ssd equipped build boots up so fast I don't have a chance to enter bios setup- I got it ONCE, but haven't been able to do it since. It requires hitting delete. If I just hold down delete from the beginning, it ignores what it probably sees as a keyboard error and starts windows. If I...

    mouse frozen on wakeup

    That didn't work, but I tried a Microsoft Intellimouse and it works as it should, no wake problems or anything. I really like my marble though and would like to continue using it. It looks like logitech's website does not say this marble mouse is win7 compatible, so I guess I need to find...

    mouse frozen on wakeup

    I've got a keyboard in the ps2 port and a splitter on order. I've tried usb 2 and ubs 3 ports; at the moment I've got it plugged into the usb port designated for the mouse, and it DID come out of sleep properly this time. strangely enough, a few times mouse movement has been enough to WAKE the...

    mouse frozen on wakeup

    I spoke too soon. Any chance this could be the marble mouse itself? I would think not because it worked fine on the PC I replaced with the current build, I just don't have another handy. There is no ps2 style port on the motherboard for a ps2 mouse, only a single ps2 that at first glance...

    mouse frozen on wakeup

    the bios update MAY have fixed me, at least it worked for a few trial runs...THANKS! the chipset update looked a little scary, and it was mentioned in the documentation for that that it would not solve any USB issues and would overwrite 3rd party inf files, of which there may be one, so maybe...

    max 4 pin pwm fan amperage for p8p67 deluxe?

    this is a 120mm fan. Of course I cut up the box (with the rest of the specs on it) for a pattern to make a mount for it and the trash is gone, and of course there are no specs anywhere on the web. I assume 2 watts @ 12v= .16A, so I must be OK?

    max 4 pin pwm fan amperage for p8p67 deluxe?

    Just finishing up a build here, no max amperage was specified for the 4 pin fan connector, just 12 watts max for the cpu cooler connector. I'm safe with 2 watt fans in the other 3 or 4 connectors, right? t

    new build, old builder p8p67d/ssd/6970/ax750 questions

    Thanks for the info- but although the PC mobo end of the atx connector is a 2 piece clip together adding up to the required 24 pins there, what I'm referring to is the power supply end. The power supply end is also made up of 2 separate connectors that do not clip together, an 18 pin and a 10...
