    Is my mobo dead/dying?

    Ok. I've been having issues with my system for quite awhile. I've thought it to be several things which I've since ruled out. Basically, I started getting an error message when I would reboot my computer that said something like "a registry file had to be recovered from a backup. the recovery...

    Video Card installation hallaballoo!

    I knew I should never have bothered with this thing... Anyway, no problems when I used it to go from my Geforce FX 5200 to an ATI Radeon 9600XT. Now, I was going back to a Geforce FX 5200 until my 6800LE arrives, but I can't install the drivers and it's pissing me off. Basically, I...

    Sound Problem

    Hi. I recently built a system for my father. It's slightly older, but it's all he needs. Anyway, I had an ISA sound card (yep...ISA!) in there initially as a hold over until I got a PCI sound card. I had 2 PCI devices installed along with that ISA sound card, a video card and a...

    Help!

    Hiya, not real active on this forum, but other forums I've posted my woes on haven't been much help. I recently got a wireless router w/a built in 4 port switch (router is a Compaq iPAQ Connection Point CP-2W). I have cable broadband and the computer I'm on right now (a Win98SE box) is...
