    Log files in MessageLabs 'ClientSiteProxy' folder

    Hi guys I'm trying to clear down some space on a client's server and noticed that there are some sizeable log files under a folder called "C: \ClientSiteProxy\var\logs". The 2 largest files are "store.log" and "access.log" at 4.4 GB's and 3.8 GB's respectively. The store.log file was last...

    Random Vista hang

    Hi guys I've started having a problem recently where my Vista Home Premium PC will just randomly lock up, on the odd occasion. There doesn't seem to be any reason or rhyme to it (I always check through the event logs after it happens, and nothing of any interest springs up). All that'll...

    Outlook problem

    Hey guys I have a weird problem with my PC currently. While I'm busy compiling an email, Outlook will sometimes just automatically send the message before I've even finished typing it! Needless to say, this is rather frustrating. I don't have any viruses\spyware, so what the heck could...

    Wireless PC card issue

    Hey guys I have a Gigabyte GN-WMAG wireless PC card for my laptop. I can get it connected and pretty much working with a wi-fi broadband router, but it seems to every so often have a problem with receiving data packets. It will do this every 5-10 minutes, for about 10-15 seconds at a time...

    Issue with USB hard disk

    Hey guys I got another external hard disk (based on a 100GB 2.5" hard disk), and am experiencing the problem where if I leave the drive plugged into my PC when shutting down, the next time I boot up it shows as an Uknown Device in the Device Manager. The only way to fix it is to unplug...

    Windows components

    Hey guys With regards to this thread, I've discovered that my problem extends beyond simply not being able to add the Fax Services component... it's the same for ANY component I try to add :( One thing I didn't mention in the link shown above is that I have, since getting my laptop...

    Problem with fax services...

    Hey guys I'm trying to install the Fax Services component of Windows on my Toshiba laptop, but am having loads of trouble. My laptop didn't come with a proper Windows disc (only a recovery disc), but there is a copy of the i386 folder on my hard drive. Problem is, Windows refuses to read...

    Secure data removal

    Hey guys I recently upgraded the hard drive in my PC, and am thinking of selling the old one. I know that simply deleting the partition\formatting the drive isn't terribly secure, as my data could be recovered with a little bit of know-how. I want to know what the best app would be, for...

    Toshiba Satellite M30X-156

    Hey guys I got myself the laptop mentioned in the title not long ago, and while I'm happy with it so far, someone told me there's a known issue with the DC-in jack. I came across this article, and it's made me a little worried now. :( Has anyone here had any experience with this PC? If...

    MSN Messenger 7.5 emoticons

    Hey guys I recently changed PC's, but obviously have none of my custom emoticons now... I found a folder under Documents and Settings\<My username>\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger that appears to be where Messenger stores such stuff, but despite copying it from my older PC to the one...

    D-Link DSL-300T

    Hey guys I'm having some trouble with getting the modem mentioned in the title to correctly assign IP addresses, through DHCP, to 3 PC's. It's connected to a 5-port switch, along with the 3 PC's mentioned. For those of you who don't what I'm talking about, have a look here. What...

    Are these temps normal??

    Hey guys I've got an Athlon 64 3200+ (socket 754, Newcastle core, running @ stock), currently being cooled by a Thermalright SLK-948U with a Thermaltake A2016 fan (80mm, speed adjustable), using Arctic Silver Ceramique as the TIM. My idle temp is around 42 degrees, while under heavy load...

    Epson LX-300+

    Hey guys One of my clients has got 3 LX-300+'s that they use daily. Only recently has the one 1 printer started to give problems in that after let's say 10-15 pages printed, all the front panel lights flash and it gives off a squeaky, high-pitched whine. Only course of action then is to...

    Problem with onboard sound

    Hey guys Someone I know who recently got themselves a Gigabyte K8NSC939 motherboard as part of an upgrade, is having no end of hassles trying to get the onboard sound to go. Despite the fact that the drivers are correctly installed (there aren't any unknown devices showing in the device...

    ATi rumours

    Hey guys I don't how true this is, but I've heard that ATi are in a bit of financial trouble currently. However, this may just be a rumour, but I'm curious as to whether anyone else might have any info on this?

    DOS NTFS reader

    Hey guys I was just wondering if there exists a DOS based app, much like NTFS reader, that lets you delete files instead of either just copying or unerasing them? I have a file on my desktop currently (a .exe, used for flashing BIOS's) that I can't get rid of... if I try to delete it, it...

    Decisions, decisions

    Hey guys I have a 6-month old Leadtek A400TDH (GF 6800 NU), and realised today that I can now get an A400GT TDH (6800GT) for what I paid for my 6800 NU originally. Would it be a good idea to sell my existing card and get myself the GT? Or should I rather just wait until the next...

    Leadtek A400TDH cooling

    Hi guys As you may have guessed from the topic, I have an A400TDH (GeForce 6800 NU). ;) For some reason, I can't seem to overclock it much beyond 360/770 before it heats up too much, and becomes unstable (more often than not, causing my system to lock up). Of course, I'm then left with...

    Arctic Silver 5

    Hey guys I've heard about how well AS5 is supposed to work... but my question is would it be worth getting some to replace the Shin Etsu I have on my CPU currently? Would I notice any marked improvements in temps? I have an Athlon64 3200+ (Newcastle @ stock speed) with a Gigabyte 3D Cooler...

    Component temps

    Hey guys Just as a matter of interest, my A64 3200+ (Newcastle) idles at about 34-35 degrees celcius, and under load gets up to 55-60. Are these normal temps for my chip? Also, my Leadtek A400TDH (GeForce 6800 NU) idles at 52 and gets up to 63 under load. My "old" P4 2.8C idled at 32...

    NOD32 antivirus

    Hi guys I recently had to format my PC (upgraded my mobo and CPU), and now after reloading everything, I've noticed that my NOD32 antivirus's splash screen sits on the screen for about a minute, before NOD shows in the system tray. Previously it used to take about 3-5 seconds to get going...

    Using both the DVI and DSub connections on an LCD

    Hey guys I have an LCD that has both DVI and DSub connections, and I have 2 PC's. The older PC has a graphics card with only an analog jack, whereas my newer PC's graphics card has both. My question is, would it be possible to connect both PC's up to my screen, and then simply switch between...

    USB PCI cards and Win95b

    I know somebody who has a pretty old PC, with Windows 95b on it (which was supposed to have a little bit of USB support.) This person bought herself a USB printer and upon trying to connect said printer up, realised that this old PC has no USB ports. I offered her a 2-port PCI USB card (which...

    Dead pixels

    Hey guys I just have a quick question... I know that with buying an LCD, there exists the very real chance that you might get a dead pixel or 2. My question is, can dead pixels appear after the panel has been in use for a while? I recently got a new LCD, which has 2 dead pixels (trust me, it's...

    LCD: 16ms or 12ms?

    Hey guys Just a quick question for all the LCD screen owners: Is there a hugely noticeable difference between 12ms and 16ms panels? I can get a 16ms LCD from my one supplier for a pretty good price currently, but would it be worth paying extra to rather get a 12ms one? From what I understand...

    Screen upgrade

    Hey guys I've currently got an average 19" CRT, that while not bad, isn't the greatest either. I'm wanting to get a better screen, and have been looking at the BenQ FP767-12 (a 17" LCD, with 12ms reponse time), and the Samsung 955DF (a 19" flat-tube CRT). The BenQ would seem the obvious way to...

    Overclocking anomaly

    Hi guys I have the strangest problem... I have overclocked my P4 2.8C to 3.2, by virtue of increasing the FSB to 229 MHz. I set my RAM to run at 333 MHz (it's actually DDR400, but I didn't want to be stressing my RAM, so now my memory runs at 381 MHz). When I boot up, according to the BIOS I...

    MSI mobo RAM settings

    Hey guys Does anyone know how to set a custom RAM frequency on an MSI 865PE Neo2-S board? I have DDR400, but want to run at like 350MHz, so that when I overclock (I want to take my FSB to 229 MHz, so that my P4 2.8C will give me 3206MHz), the memory will be running at 408 MHz. With my board, it...

    P4 overclocking

    Hey guys Would taking my P4 2.8C to 3.2 GHz require tweaks to the vcore at all? Also, would running the chip 400 MHz quicker dramatically affect operating temperature? Or should my HSF (Gigabyte 3D Cooler Pro), handle it okay? I believe that the Northwood's do overclock well, and so I...

    Prescott vs. Northwood

    Hey guys I've currently got a P4 2.8C (Northwood, 800 FSB). I'm very happy with the performance, but I have the cash to get a Prescott 3.0 GHz. I realise that the Prescott has twice as much L2 cache, but should I bother making this 'upgrade'? How much of a performance gain would I see out of...

    LCD screen response times

    Hey guys Is a TFT display panel with a response time of 25 ms any good for gaming? I know that units with a 16ms response time are ideal, but is 25ms okay? Thanks.
