    Creating and joining a domain in VM

    Let me start off my saying that i'm fairly new to this and I'm trying it myself so we might need to drop to basics. So I'm trying to set up a VM with Server 2012 R2 as a domain controller and then have a Win7 Pro VM connect to it. First off, both VMs are set up with an internal network in the...

    Asus Technical Support Privacy Breach!!!

    Each chat agent deals with multiple people at once. I don't care about the time it takes for them to respond. I'm chatting with them because for a reason. The law that states I can do whatever I want with my personal property. This chat contains no internal personal company information.

    Asus Technical Support Privacy Breach!!!

    What law gives them the ability to see what I am typing? It is essentially they are able to see what I am thinking? I do not see a law that gives them that ability.

    Asus Technical Support Privacy Breach!!!

    So chatting with Asus Tech support when I typed something however I retracted it because I felt like it did not add to the conversation. What do you know, the agent asks me about what I had typed. Apparently they can see everything you are typing even before you hit enter! I find this a huge...

    Random BSODs 1E, IDE DVD-RW not detected, Freezing on Welcome/Loading screen

    Well even without the IDE drive connected, I'm still getting some instabillity. Already tried with 1 RAM stick, different GPU, different power supply. Basically everything except a new CPU. Let me give Asus a call, I tried twice and all they said was "Call back, we're busy". Hopefully I...

    Random BSODs 1E, IDE DVD-RW not detected, Freezing on Welcome/Loading screen

    OMG I totally forgot that I already have one of those from the time I had RAID IDE Drives. Guess I'll be digging through boxes tomorrow. Thanks guys! Last question, if the IDE ports failed and the board is under warranty, is it worth RMAing? It'll cost me around $15 shipping and no computer...

    Random BSODs 1E, IDE DVD-RW not detected, Freezing on Welcome/Loading screen

    Already tried 3 different IDE drives. I can't let this drive go because it's a drive I use to rip Wii games. After loosing a $40 game from abuse, all my brother gets now is the backups of what he wants to play.

    Random BSODs 1E, IDE DVD-RW not detected, Freezing on Welcome/Loading screen

    Sorry I didn't answer the question about a fresh install. No, I haven't done a fresh install but the problem is on XP and Windows 7. I'd find it odd to be OS related if the problem is on both OS's. So 2 days in a row, my computers been working fine. No problems. Is there a possibility that...

    Random BSODs 1E, IDE DVD-RW not detected, Freezing on Welcome/Loading screen

    I'll give that a try. I'm using the computer right now out of the case on a cardboard box. Is that alright? My board has a power switch on it so no worries about having to short power connectors.

    Random BSODs 1E, IDE DVD-RW not detected, Freezing on Welcome/Loading screen

    Occasionally. Right now there's no IDE drive and it came out of standby fine however it froze for about 5 minutes before the mouse and keyboard activated. I've had days where the PC works fine with the IDE drive and sometimes without it, the PC crashes.

    Random BSODs 1E, IDE DVD-RW not detected, Freezing on Welcome/Loading screen

    Here's a screenshot of what it reported. The bottom part is the same but the files are listed here. Had a problem today where it would crash on loading (Black screen, not the blue screen). Unplugged IDE drive and it booted up. I'm really starting to think its an IDE port issue. Is there any...

    I'm completely lost here guys. Recently I had a problem where my IDE CD Drive would open on return from Standby. Used a new IDE cable to fix that problem but I now have so many others: Specs: Asus P5Q-E|Q9550|4GB DDR2|9800GTX+|1TB SATA HD|IDE CD/DVD-RW|SATA DVD-RAM|Media card reader|650W Cooler...

    PS3 Cooling

    I'll just deal with it I guess, I really can't move it anywhere else. I'm getting a PS3 for the basement so I might move this down there and have a slim up where the A01 is.

    PS3 Cooling

    So I know it's not anything PC related but hopefully you guys can help me out here. I'm having trouble cooling off a CECHA01 60GB Backwards Compatible PS3. No matter what I do, fans ramp up quite fast. I've already replaced the heatsink thinking that the old heatsink wasn't smooth. The...

    Need a second opinion

    Agreed. Get as much as you can afford. Look at how DDR/DDR2 Ram went from dirt cheap to expensive.

    Computer bootup is horrifically slow, sometimes freezes.

    I had a similar problem on mine. Problem ended up being the SATA cable. Check that first.

    WRT160N Custom repeater Ebay mlee2_1998 seller

    Please. Stop. I'm not going to rip off his config and return it. If it's good, then I'll keep it obviously but if he doesn't respond to my messages, what else can I do? You're talking as though I'm gonna take his config and start selling my own routers. Installing it and selling it for more...

    WRT160N Custom repeater Ebay mlee2_1998 seller

    Yea but they did some changes to it. If this guy did absolutely nothing and simply read instructions, then I don't believe in charging. I may buy this guys product just to see what it's all about. He has a return policy, I'll just lose the $5 shipping back.

    WRT160N Custom repeater Ebay mlee2_1998 seller

    That's true, I never thought about that. Mine already has DD-WRT but the way he made it sound, he installs a better firmware than DD-WRT. It's obviously a load of BS, taking open-source software and trying to make a profit off it. I have NO problem spending that kind of money IF what he's doing...

    WRT160N Custom repeater Ebay mlee2_1998 seller

    Well I know I can do the external antenna mod myself. I'm not worried about that, I'm wondering about the firmware he's using. Is he just making a quick buck by charging me $40 to install DD-WRT on my WRT160N?

    HP Laserjet 2200 Toner Residue on page

    I replaced the toner in December but there are 500 pages on the toner at most. I did clean it out by taking it apart but I really didn't know what I was looking for so I basically just wiped everything clean. Where is the fuser cleaning pad/corona wire?

    HP Laserjet 2200 Toner Residue on page

    I have a pretty old Laserjet 2200 that was given to me after being retired from an office. After I got it, there was a leaking toner that I replaced and it seems to be working fine however theres a problem where the right middle of the paper has toner residue which is basically an overlap of...

    Netgear WNR3500L USB Device sharing password

    I figured it out. First off, the router says the settings are ready to go but they really aren't until the router is reset. Second, the password to access the router is the same password for accessing the USB device on it. Not the best protection but it'll do.

    Netgear WNR3500L USB Device sharing password

    I just set up my Netgear WNR3500L so I can access the 512MB flash drive plugged into the back from anywhere on the internet. My problem is that is there any way to set a password on it? So far I've been able to connect from different networks without a password. It's a nice concept but if...

    I just reinstalled drivers to my Centrino 6200 wireless card because it kept dropping signals within seconds of connecting. After reinstalling updated drivers, Windows reports that I am going anywhere up to 54Mbps but never higher. Does this mean I am running in Wireless G mode? My router is...

    2006 Macbook only turns on when KB is plugged in

    My 2006 Macbook 13" won't turn on when I hit the power button. The Keyboard and mouse do work fine though. It will only turn on if I hold the palmrest cable into the connector on the motherboard for a second and then push it in all the way after I hear the chime. Do you think this is a bad power...

    Yes, drivers are up to date (since they haven't been updated in years). I guess I'll try new cartridges. Should I go OEM or can I get generic?

    DDR3 RAM - Match brands?

    I have a Studio 1558 where I had to swap one of the RAM sticks. I originally had 2 x 2GB 1333MHz Hynix RAM sticks. The replacement Dell sent me was a Samsung RAM stick at 1333MHz. Should I request them to send me the same brand? Does it matter performance wise?
