    Network does not allow two connections on the same plug?

    Thanks for the replies. Just to make it clear, I am not trying to be subversive or anything, but corporate IT is really really small and covers a huge area, so they usually don't want to spend time on this kind of thing (we are not a US based company). But I will try to get hold of them in...

    Network does not allow two connections on the same plug?

    Hi I work in a small subsidiary of a large corporation. Locally we are not allowed to have IT resources, so we have to try and fix things for ourselves. I'm having an issue just connecting a new hire to the network. There is a plug (RJ45) in the wall that connects to the server, which is...

    I cannot turn off mouse acceleration?

    Update on this: issue still not solved. Smoothmouse doesn't have any effect either, even the mouse speed slider doesn't change anything. I will try to uninstall the logitech drivers and see if that works.

    Guide: How to install Windows 8 with 2012 iMac and BootCamp

    I've been trying to install windows 8 on my late 2012 iMac for a couple of weeks, and finally succeeded. I could not find any definitive guide even after many hours googling, so here is a forum post to help people who come after me. The main issue was that the bootcamp assistant only formats the...

    I cannot turn off mouse acceleration?

    I've just brought home a gorgeous new imac 27. Up to this point I've been using windows, and have had the mouse set to 0 acceleration. Now I can google the fact that Mac forces mouse acceleration, which gives me cramps in my hand that transplants up to my neck, so I have been looking for...

    Suddenly wireless stops working

    Phew managed to solve it, by uninstalling the card itself, plus the drivers, plus windows wifi miniport, reboot, and let windows find the drivers on its own.

    Suddenly wireless stops working

    As many times before, when a problem stumps me, I turn to Anandtech. I have a desktop pc, with an Asus PCE-N13 (PCIe) wireless card inserted. It connects to my wireless netgear router. It's been running fine for years. Yesterday it ran fine. Today though, it just says "no connections...

    Can I lock the CPU fan ? (AsRock)

    Well I'm in Europe, so can't really order from Newegg. Anyway the price is not the issue, its more the fact that I don't want to tinker with the cpu/cooling unless I really have to. If there was some program that could enable me to set the cpu fan level, then the problem would be solved - but I...

    Can I lock the CPU fan ? (AsRock)

    Yes that utility works, but it doesn't have any purpose. It just enables you to set your fan speed at the desired level, but ONLY if the temperature is below 65 degrees. As soon as it goes above 65, it pushes the fan speed to max, regardless. It's so frustrating, because I am only 1 or 2...

    Can I lock the CPU fan ? (AsRock)

    There is no option in the BIOS to do that. It's either automatic (Which I have now) or max fan speed all the time. It's the box i7 cooler I have.

    Can I lock the CPU fan ? (AsRock)

    Hi I have an X58 SuperComputer + i7 920. My issue is the CPU temperature - as soon as I boot up the pc, it climbs to around 60 degrees celcius. When it hits 65 degrees, the CPU fan automatically goes to the max level and makes a hell of a noise. I have enabled cool n quiet etc. in the...

    Thanks! I think the other version of the WD Tv, the "Hub" version, is actually exactly what I need.

    Suggestions for a nice AV gadget?

    Hi I'm looking for suggestions for a video gadget, to play my movies and tv shows. I have a lot of 720p files on my pc, that I want to show on my tv. My current practice is to convert the files to mpeg, transfer them to a harddrive, and play them via my PS3 on the tv. Then I saw the apple...

    Software for keylogging ?

    Hmm I've managed to find this: http://soft.udm4.com/Utilities/Active_Work_Tracker.html Only issue is that it records "events", which is mouse and keyboard together.

    Software for keylogging ?

    Hi. I am looking for some suggestions to a key tracking/logger tool. I've been unable to find anything useful at all, and normally I am quite good at googling. All I can find is "spysoftware". I am curious to measure my keyboard activity over time - to see when I am the most active, if there...

    My PC is making too much noise.. help

    Added bit of info that I just discovered. The CPU fan has 10 levels. When it gets above 65 degrees, it goes directly to level 10. There seems to be no way to get a middle ground.

    New quality 24"-27" ,, suggestions?

    Hi I have around $800 to spend on a new quality monitor. It's $800 in Europe mind you where prices are somewhat higher than US. I need something with at least 1080p resolution and 24" - I will use it for surfing, a bit of movies and tv and some world of warcraft. So pretty much alround. I...

    do netbooks have modem connection?

    It's in a small coastal town in southern france - no high speed connections :) I can find an external USB modem for around 50 USD so that could be a possibility, if they work.

    do netbooks have modem connection?

    My parents need a new pc - for emails etc. I've suggested a netbook (with ext. monitor). A critical point though, is that it needs to have a 56.6 k modem - because in their summer residence, that's the only connection there is. Do all new netbooks have a 56k modem built in? How do I check...

    Hard drive is unrecognizable after reinstalling windows

    Thanks for the comprehensive answer. I neglected to mention that my previous OS was Windows 7 as well (beta - has been available for all :-). And the hard drive ran fine. So it wouldn't help going back to previous OS! The other guy who had this problem, ran Vista. So it's not native to 7.

    Hard drive is unrecognizable after reinstalling windows

    I've bought a new hard drive, and installed windows 7 on it. I had two hard drives previously, so that makes three total now. The two old ones are 320gb and 250gb western digital. The 320 works fine, has worked since booting up for the first time. But the second one won't work. When I go into...

    Bought new pc, nothing seems to work

    Okay I tinkered a bit - tried turning the fan blades with a ballpen, and re-checking all connections. Upon boot the PSU fan started running, and now it's only luke-warm to the touch. I also removed my PCI soundcard, as well as two of the three memory blocks. Right now it's installing windows...

    Bought new pc, nothing seems to work

    SonnyDaze you wise man - you are right. The PSU fan is motionless, that's why it gets so hot. Hopefully it's the cause of my problems as well. Is it possible to rectify this, or is the only way to return it ?

    The activity light on my inactive drive keeps flashing..

    Well, no visible activity. Not using any of the files on the drive (it's pure storage). Also it would be weird that the same thing would repeated at even intervals all the time. I'm hoping it's some sort of feature that I just have to disable, and then it will stop.

    The activity light on my inactive drive keeps flashing..

    I just bought a WD external drive (my book 1 tb). So far things are fine. What worries me, is that the blue activity light flashes every 10 seconds - and a not so loud cracking noise accompanies it. If I were to measure the time between, I'm sure it would be the same all the time...

    Unecessary clicks

    I couldnt find a web category, so posting here instead. - I have a friendly discussion with a co-worker. On our company's global homepage, there are several clicks that I perceive as being irrelevant, and that we could remove. My thesis is that just a few irrelevant clicks for the user...

    Photoshop colour is different from Illustrator colour

    If I save a picture of a certain colour in illustrator, like RGB 50:50:50, and subsequently open the same image in photoshop, the colour shows up as 32:58:40 for instance. How do I make sure the colour stays the same in my Adobe programs ?

    1.5 or 2.5 gb ram for Photoshop?

    Thanks for the replies. Dell just told me that my laptop (D420) can't handle more than 2GB ram on the motherboard, so I guess the XP issue is moot. So I need to figure out if the difference between 1.5 and 2GB ram in photoshop+illustrator is worth paying ~150 USD for.
