    Internet Issues

    Having an issue, using IE or Firefox. When the programs are opened, it'll takes about 30 seconds of showing "Connecting to...", then it'll start working and will continue to work during that session. Open another window of the app, and it'll do the same thing. There was a power outage which blew...

    PC Turns Off.....

    PC just turns off, no warning. That's the only evidence there is. It's happened about 5 times within the last 1-2 weeks. Most times when I'm not home, but 1 time I was near the pc and heard all the fans spinning down. Looked, and it was off. I've checked event log viewer, checked for a dump...

    Linksys Router

    Can PC's and Macs coincide on the same network using a Linksys Router? I know someone who needs this so they can share the mac doc files so they can print it on the printer connected via the PC. At the moment, they use a floppy to transfer it the PC to print.

    .BAT File Help

    Is there anyway to do this? I made a .bat file that asks for a user/password of a networked PC using the /p switch, but I need it to hide the password when inputed? Is there some way to do this, integrating into the .bat?

    MX5000/MX1000 and Firefox

    I got the MX5000 combo, which includes the MX1000 laser mouse. I don't like the G7 because of the thumb buttons. So I decided to try the MX5000 combo because I liked the keyboard better than the new MS Laser Mouse 6000. The mouse is also much more comfortable to use, however I'm having an...

    HDD Shortcuts Freezing On Access

    I have links to my hard drive partitions on a toolbar on my desktop. For the past couple of weeks, sometimes when I click on one, it will freeze for some seconds (est. about 30-60 seconds). It doesn't do it everytime, and it's not any particular partition/drive. It's done it on at least 3...

    CORSAIR XMS 1GB (2 x 512MB) TWINX1024-3200C2 Corsair XMS 2GB (2 x 1024MB) TWINX2048-3500LLPRO (kit consists of 2 x CMX1024-3500LLPRO) If I were to put all 4 sticks in my Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe, would it still work in Dual Channel? I haven't got the 2 GB sticks in yet, so can't try yet. Just...

    XP Open With Options For Blank CD Empty

    I lost power yesterday due to hurricane Rita. Ever since, when I insert a Blank CD, the auto run Open With option in XP comes up with Empty options. Is there somewhere I can look to fix this? Or manually add some back in? Thanks

    Buying a new monitor. (LCD or CRT)?

    I need a new monitor badly. I've been debating whether to go CRT again, or try a LCD for a change. Only problem is, most of the good ones only support 75 Hz max refresh rates (within a $400-450 budget). I play most games @ 1280*1024*85Hz, except those stubborn ones that don't support that...

    Shortcut Path Fixing. Any App Can Do This?

    Is there some sort of app that can scan 1 specific folder for invalid shortcut paths, scan for the correct paths, and fix them automatically without user intervention? I have a folder that has a ton of shortcuts, and I recently changed drive letters for all the drives, so now 80% of the...

    Seagate HDD - Good or Bad?

    Few weeks ago, I had a partition on the drive that the file system got corrupt. I had to use software to recover the data, which I was fortunate to recover about 98% of the data. I shrugged it off, and just reformated the partition, and began using it again. Well, this weekend, I noticed alot of...

    Corrupt Partition.... Inaccessible.

    It's on a storage drive, that contains 2 partitions. Partition 2 seems fine, but partition 1 got messed pretty bad. The drive was damn near full, so when I try to run chkdsk on it, an error is given before it can finish fixing it. I still see the partition in windows (except it changed the...

    Samsung 997DF 19" Monitor Good?

    @ BB for $200, and I sort of need a new one since mine kills my eyes from blurryness. Is this a good lasting monitor? It has a nice dp and resolution. Anyone know what the max resolution it can do with 85Hz refresh rate? My Bro has one and he likes it, but he hasn't had it long enough to know...

    Asus A8N-SLI & Onboard Sound & 5.1 Center/Sub Speakers Issues

    I've installed the latest drivers, and my Center and Sub speakers will go through the setup wizard fine, working. Click done, and try to play music or games, and nothing comes out of the Center at all. Sub will work, but it's not being controlled by the sub volume in the NVMixer. It turns off...

    Corsair 2GB Flash Voyager USB 2.0

    Corsair 2GB Flash Voyager USB 2.0 I like Corsair RAM, but they're new at making these things. Anyone try them? Think these will be pretty good quality product. They offer a 10 yr warranty with it, so that's a plus. I'd just hate to lose all my data again like with my POS Lexar JumpDrive I...

    Lexar Jump Drive

    I was using it yesterday to transfer something from one pc to another. Copied my data to it, took out and put in other PC, and the PC didn't pick it up. So I tried using 3 other PC's, and none will pick it up. Light won't even come on. Any ideas of recovering the data on the darned thing? I know...

    nvidia Firewall (NF4) and pcAnywhere Problems

    Sorry if this is the wrong section, but I figured since it was an issue with this board, I'd poost here. When using the onboard hardware firewall, my pcanywhere host will not let me connect remotely while my windows is at the Login screen. It is an issue with this firewall because I never had it...

    FX-55 Availability.....

    Why are these darned things so hard to get ahold of? I've been shopping for 2 weeks now, and NO one has got any in stock. I've been eying a few places that have decent prices, but most don't give ETA's. One that did have an ETA of 1-28 the other day, changed to 1-31. Well, yesterday, the price...

    Good NForce 4 Ultra ETA?

    I was 99% sure I was going SLI, UNTIL I read this: http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=NzEx If I have to wait on nVidia so I can use SLI in my games, then I just won't wait. Now, I'm dead set on a ATI X850XT PE (If I could ever find one :P). But I'd really like to get a NForce 4 Ultra...

    There Goes 40 Gigs!!!!

    Didn't have such a good day yesterday :( Got home from work, kid was playing a game on the 2nd PC. Accidently Alt-Tab'd out and wouldn't switch back. Tried Ctrl-Alt-Del, but it wouldn't bring focus for some odd reason. So had to press the reset button. Well, upon reset, I get a black screen...
