    I actually have no freakin clue what I did, but I was just working on the system, happened to disconect the LAN connection and upon re-connection it started working! Hopefully it'll stay on for a while. But, to answer your question, at the time, no I was not able to connect to any other...

Every other computer on the network (Whether it be using WIFI or the LAN ports) can connect through the router and surf fine. My computer, all of...

    Laptop Printer?

    I'm wanting to buy my mom a printer she can use while carrying her laptop at work. Needs to be pretty portable, RELIABLE, and color. Not looking to spend over $200. Any ideas, or at least where I should look at?

    Well, I've physically hooked it up without any problems but I cannot get the thing to recognize for ANYTHING. I've already got 2 WD 36GB raptors running in RAID zero on the 2 RAID connectors. The motherboard manual does not make a single mention of how to install and setup a single SATA hard...

    All of this happened with one single stick in the #2 slot. And what do you mean about it mounting, the physical mounting of it in the case you mean? Its solid.

    I've did a bit of googling and haven't came up with anything. What I need is some kind of a program where I can set the target, and make it search through the contents of all the text files. Any such kind of animal out there? If there is anyway to make it easier searching through 3,500+ text...

    Configure outlook express, to send mail only.

    No, what I need to do is to be able to check the pop server, but not download anything into outlook. Or Make the SMTP server work without having to check the pop server. One or the other.

    System doesn't power down after shutdown?

    I checked the manual and then the bios, S1 mode was enabled. So you reccomend changing it to S3 mode, and then reinstalling windows? Do I need to format or is just a regular re-install OK?

    System doesn't power down after shutdown?

    Under computer in device manager, it lists it as an MPS uniprocessor PC. What is ACPI? Sorry. When I installed XP, it went on a 74gb Raptor SATA drive, so I had to hit F6 and add the drivers for it on there. Was I suppose to do something else also? EDIT: I just checked in the...

    System doesn't power down after shutdown?

    I have to instead, go to the case, and manually hit the power button to turn it off. The motherboard is an MSI K8N Neo socket 939 that I just put together this weekend.

    I've had the card in and out several times today and yesterday also. Its as secure as I believe it can be. Not sure how many of you are familar with this series of Thermaltake cases, but they have a screwless PCI/AGP slot thing that works off of plastic clips. The Raedon is to wide for this to...

    Built System...No video signal

    Nope, no bios or anything. I have been considering buying a cheap card just to see if it would work, I might end up doing that. I'd hate to RMA something that didn't need it. It does indeed have external power and it is hooked up. I don't have any computers with that style AGP slot, my...

    Haven't tried the single stick of ram yet, but I'll do that. The monitor keeps a black screen with the LED flashing from orange to green (The normal standby combination it gives when its in sleep mode). When I turn the monitor off, and then back on (With the system still pluggd up) I get the...
