On my computer, malware tries to open random webpages in both IE and Firefox.
I often get notifications from AdWatch Live! claiming that it blocked access to a malicious website, and that svchost.exe is trying to open the site.
I have fully updated and then scanned my computer with the...
Can you please recommend for me the best digital camera I can buy for under $200.
I would like it to be able to take really good pictures, and also to be able to take good AVI videos.
I live in Canada so I would prefer to buy it from either NCIX, or Future Shop, or Canada Computers.
If...
I recently bought a color laser printer only to realize after I opened it that it emitted Ozone gas; which is totally unacceptable to me. I ended up having to take a 40% restocking fee on that just to get some money back because the store tells me they would now have to sell it as open-box at a...
Last week I had a power outage which resulted in my PSU dying. I RMAed my PSU and installed the new one. I think I have installed all the cables correctly, but maybe not.
Now when I try to boot up with my new PSU installed, my monitor always displays "no signal". But the system seems to be...
Please help me isolate whether this is a RAM, power supply, CPU, or motherboard hardware problem, and tell me what the next steps I can take in order to figure this out.
For the past month or so I've had a lot of problems with my system stability. When playing PC games I eventually get crash...
I need to get rid of image persistance problems as described in this thread.
So far the only way I've came across that might end up working for me is to run a pure white image on my monitor for a really long time.
I made a pure white image in the size of my monitor's resolution with Paint...
I noticed that my LCD monitor suddenly has black marks on it near the bottom, combined with "streaks of light" in the same area.
I usually have my taskbar dragged up a lot more than the default, usually ~5x more.
When I look at the damaged area of my monitor, it does not go any higher...
I have had this problem with my previous computer, and now I have it in my new computer also. All of the parts and the OS of my new computer was new to that new computer, except for my DVD Drive which I transferred from my old computer to my new computer. But I am not sure if it's a WMP issue...
I'm using Windows XP Pro SP2.
Every time I try to boot into Safemode with Networking, my computer restarts automatically.
It says it's loading d346bus.sys for about 20 seconds, then the restart happens.
I can boot into normal Safemode, and when I do that it also loads d346bus.sys and...
I recently made a thread about this on the Tech Support board because I didn't realize that the Networking board is also for Tech Support regarding Networks. Apologies to the mods, I don't know any of them so I couldn't tell them to move my other thread. They can delete the recent thread from...
This saga has been chronicled in the following two threads:
Thread 1
Thread 2
My ISP is blaming everything under the sun for my connection not working properly. First they blamed my modem. I am now sure it's not my modem causing the problem.
I installed a brand new Ethernet card...
I'm using a ASUS P5W DH Deluxe with the onboard Marvell Yukon Ethernet card .
After having a technician from the phone company come to my house and say my phone line is fine, my ISP blames my old ADSL modem for the problem with my speed fluctuating wildly.
So my ISP sent me a Zoom ADSL...
My buddy made an AVI file for me of him playing a video game with a program called Gamecam.
He uploaded it to Filefront and I then downloaded it.
When I try to play the file, I get between 0.18 FPS and 0.23 FPS.
I tried playing it in both Windows Media Player and Winamp and there is...
I'm using an ADSL connection.
Starting a couple of weeks ago, out of the blue I started getting serious lag issues in online games that always kill me by making me appear to be stuck in one exact spot. When this happens, it's as if data stops being transferred for 30 - 45 seconds, and then...
I tried doing exactly what the manual says. I was able to get the grille doors open and push downwards on the clips sticking out of the top side of the dust filter itself. But it just won't come off. It's extremely aggravating.
Here is what the manual says, the following instruction is...
Just installed GRAW on my brand new computer and it shimmers like mad. It drives me nuts. It makes the game look terrible and totally unplayable for me.
I'm using an EVGA 7600GT KO.
I read that this game's engine disables AA and there is no way AA can be enabled on this game.
I...
The Information Bar and cursor icon keeps driving me nuts because I have ActiveX Controls disabled on purpose.
I need the IE Information Bar from Windows XP SP2 to be disabled - I don't ever want to see it. And I also do not want to allow ActiveX Controls to run on my computer.
I tried...
I removed my old hard from my old computer without doing any preparation on it first. I figured a repair installation of Windows XP Pro would let it boot with my new computer. I was totally wrong. I successfully did a repair installation on my old hard drive. Now my old hard drive will not...
I was wondering why the manual for the P5W mobo doesn't say not to mount the motherboard directly to the case? It makes no mention of this at all.
I've read that motherboards need to go on mounts so they don't get shorted-out, is this correct?
If so then where do the mounts come from?
I plan to port my current hard drive with Windows XP Pro OS on it into my new computer.
I have read that when you install a new motherboard, you must reinstall your OS.
Would this be the same as "installing over" my OS without changing motherboards? For example, any time I reinstalled...
I'm thinking about getting an Antec P180. I already bought and paid for all my other parts which are:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Dual Core Processor LGA775 Conroe 2.40GHZ 1066FSB 4MB Retail

Dracula
Transformer
Here's my questions:
1. Is there any signifcant quality differences between these cases?
2. I kind of like the front of the Dracula more but I don't like how it has one less intake fan than the Transformer and also the Transformer has a blowhole fan up top. Would...
I like how the AeroCool ExtremEngine 3T case looks but unfortunately I really hate dust inside my computer a lot hence I would rather not buy it since it has no dust filters.
I need a case like the AeroCool ExtremEngine 3T but with dust filters.
Is there anything like that available...
