So I tried booting my Dell laptop and it said "error loading operating system." I tried using the Vista CD to get into the recovery console but the CD would start loading but then got stuck at a black screen with a pointer arrow. I put the drive in an external enclosure and connected it to my...
I remember reading a few months ago that it would be worth waiting until early next year because notebooks with some new technology/features would be out. I can't remember what features/technology they were referring to but maybe multitouch. Anyone know?
clclean.0001 is actually a legitimate file, I had looked into that a long time ago and it was part of something bundled with my Dell laptop. I ran Spybot and it found things even though Windows Defender claimed my PC was clean. Specifically, Spybot found some Virtumonde trojan and flagged all...
Can someone please help me with this HijackThis log? I've always been running McAfee and Windows Defender but somehow today I got an alert saying Windows Defender removed a trojan and it came back a few times.
Does unplugging the TV have a different result than just powering the TV off and on? Also, can you point me to any resources so I can learn more about DDC and the ins and outs of these issues?
xtknight, I have a problem getting a laptop to output a signal to an LCD TV. I started a thread here: http://forums.anandtech.com/me...=2092124&enterthread=y
Could you please reply there or here with your thoughts?
Can you elaborate, please? I did a google search for "intel control panel extension" but don't see anything come up. What does this extension do?
Can someone at least point me to some references about display drivers in Windows and why you would need a driver other than the Plug & Play...
I'm trying to help someone solve an issue with their display (person is in another state) but am at a point where I don't know what to do. The laptop in question is a Fujitsu T4215 which has the Intel 945GM chipset and Graphics Media Accelerator 950. The TV in question is a Samsung 4661F which...
I have an XPS M1210 which has a silver chassis. Some of the parts on the chassis where I rest my hands a lot have some blackish smudges. What's the best way to clean this?
Thanks.
Yeah, I'm aware of the consequences but having the data would be nice, but not critical, and thus I am trying the freezer trick. Neither of you answered how long to put the hard drive in the freezer though!
So my laptop hard drive started making a grinding sound and of course I can no longer boot off that drive. I am going to try the freezer trick but I have read of too many different ways of doing this. Some say put it in the freezer for 1 hour, some say overnight. How long should I throw the hard...
I've got a Vaio R505 laptop running XP SP2(actually my dad's laptop). Somehow his internet explorer got screwed a while ago where when clicking certain links that used javascript to open windows, etc. his IE would just close itself. There were no events in event viewer. Well, I tried searching...
A lot of your channels are probably analog anyways so you could feed your tuner the coax cable directly from the wall, i.e. bypassing your digital cable box. For more answers check this out: AVS Forum HTPC
There is an amazng amount of knowledge there.
Yeah I've made several images with trueimage too. It just sort of annoyed me that I had a primary partition that was only 50 MB. How is it "hidden" in windows explorer?
I've got a Dell XPS M1210 laptop. It came with what I thought was one partition since in explorer all I saw was C:. Anyways, I went to repartition my drive and I noticed there is a 54 MB FAT partition on my hard drive too. Under Computer management in windows it says something about (EISA xxxx)...
I've got a Sony Vaio R505 laptop running Win XP SP2 and have a problem with Internet Explorer that started recently. If I click on a link in internet explorer that opens a new window, the browser shuts down. One of the problematic links is the following...
Thanks for the ideas, guys. I had no problems after installing TrueImage; the problems started when I tried to scan my disk for errors and checkdisk or whatever tried to fix an "error"in a file. I didn't know the name of the file before but now after checking event viewer I know it is...
So I was trying to image my hard drives with Acronis TrueImage and it failed because it couldn't read a few sectors on my hard drive. So I ran the "Check now" option in windows XP(home) on my primary partition and it said it found something wrong with a certain dll, I recall it being wbme???.dll...
Thanks for this thread OP. I've been waiting for a good deal on the 700m, but unfortunately there seems to be no sign of the 750 off 1499 coupon despite the upcoming end of Dell's fiscal quarter.
I had a similar problem with a leadtek 6600GT but in my case i could reboot and I'd get a signal and then after some period of time I'd lose signal again. I RMA'd my video card and I haven't had a problem since. Definitely the video card.
So I've had the system in my rig for about 2.5 months and had no problems. A few weeks ago I left my PC for a bit and when I came back my monitor had gone into energy save mode and I couldn't get it to wake back up without a reboot.
Last week while I was sitting and typing on my computer all...
Yeah like I said connecting to one of the 10/100 ports on the back works just fine. I suspected maybe the transmitter died, just didn't know if that was unheard of or not.
The reason I said their advice was not useful was because I tried it and it didn't change a thing. Interference was the first thing on my mind but seeing as nothing has changed in my house and prior to leaving for vacation I had great range and no problems with the router interference seemed...
It's not a neighbor's router because my closest neighbor is way too far so the signal wouldn't get near me. I actually chatted with one of Linksys' liveagents online for a while but they just said change the channel, reboot, upgrade firmware, etc. but nothing useful. Networking is not my...
So I just came back home from a holiday trip and all of a sudden my wireless router is giving me hell. My router is a linksys BEFW11S4 and I have 3 PCs running win xp SP2 and all are having the same problem.
THe problem is that my computers don't detect any wireless networks. So I took my...
So I talked to the tech support guy at Leadtek and he thought it could be my power supply. He wanted me to try and run my video card in another machine, but unfortunately none of the machines accessible to me have support for PCIe. My power supply is an OCZ Modstream 450W. Do you think it could...
Yeah I just talked to the online retailer I bought it from and they said they don't sell the video card anymore, a Leadtek 6600GT TDH. I have a 1 year warranty so I'm trying to get an RMA number from Leadtek now.
I just heard it takes a while so I am seeing if anyone can diagnose the problem...
Hi,
A while ago I posted about this problem but now it is happening more frequently. I've had my rig for 2.5 months and what is happening now is that when I turn on my computer there are vertical white lines on the screen and once my computer gets into windows it seems that the display...
Yeah but the 2nd time I was typing away and I watched the purple lines crawl up and fill the screen. In other words this didn't happen when my monitor tried to go into power save mode. Anyways, I turned power save off but since I've only had this problem occur twice so far, seemingly randomly, I...
Thanks for the reply. The interesting thing is that I just checked using nVidia ntune and it says GPU temperature: 44 C and ambient temp: 35 C. Also, the core slowdown threshold is 127 C. My CPU temp is 31 and sys temp is 34 as reported by core center.
I'll check my video card for heat damage...

Thanks for your reply. Yeah I basically just want the wireless functionality there in case I have to place my printer far from my AP. For the time being I will be using a wired connection from the 10/100 port to the AP.
