    Intel PROset/Wireless crashes router

    I've already tried that, and it didn't help. However, someone on a dslreports forum said that he had problems in the past with WPA and Dells, so I changed my network to WEP and have since been unable to duplicate the problem, so I think I can say for now that the problem is fixed. Thanks for...

    Intel PROset/Wireless crashes router

    Hello, I have a Dell Inspiron 700m with internal Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG wireless. I figured I would try posting here before trying to deal with Dell support. The problem: when viewing webpages that require a lot of downloading, i.e. images on a MySpace profile, the wireless router has a...

    Screen Flicker

    I've noticed on a number of Windows XP computers the screen will flicker occasionally for no seemingly obvious reason. It only happens once every hour or so, but it makes me wonder what's causing it. I believe I've mostly seen it in laptops. I have a Dell Inspiron 700m with the on-board...

    Digital camera

    My grandfather just gave me his old Canon A-1 film camera (I believe it's from the early 1980s). It makes great pictures, but I would much prefer to have them in digital format. So, instead of taking pictures, developing them, then scanning them in or whatever, I would like to purchase a new...

    PPT presentation in the background

    I've never heard of this. As far as I know, the only options are the display clone, where it displays the same on both screens, and the extended desktop, where it is, as you say, an extended desktop. How would I go about setting it up as you describe? (Windows XP Home)

    PPT presentation in the background

    Hi all. I want to set up a computer where it runs a PowerPoint presentation on a second monitor (a TV set up in another room). However, I also need to be able to use the computer while the presentation is still going on on the TV in the other room. At the moment, the presentation stops as soon...

    Compaq Presario 1500 - Power Troubles

    My friend has a Compaq Presario 1500 notebook that's been having some power troubles for the past two days. When it's plugged in, it acts like there's no power. (To confirm it, it doesn't boot up when the battery's out and the power's plugged in.) The same happens when a port replicator is...

    Shutter Speed on Camera?

    My parents bought a Casio Exilim EX-Z4 U for the family to take pictures. It's great for them because it's generally point and shoot. (I get the blame if it turns out otherwise :confused: ) But I've gotten to the point where I'm really experimenting with photography in general. I'm looking for a...

    XP Pro on external hard drive

    Ok, here's my problem. I currently have XP Home SP2 installed on my normal internal hard drive. I installed XP Pro on an external hard drive that was recognized by the XP install program, and it seemed to go well. However, when I start to load XP Pro, it shows the boot loader for about a second...

    Port forwarding with Linksys routers

    I'm trying to forward ports essentially from one router to another, and finally to my PC. Here's the setup: Modem --> Linksys BEFW11S4 --> Linksys RT31P2 --> PC What I've tried so far are forwarding a port to the RT, then from the RT to the PC. I've also tried DMZ on the BEFW to the RT...

    PDA Preference?

    I'm leaning towards the Dell because I think I'd personally prefer Windows Mobile over Palm, but that's my opinion. I'd just like to know which one you prefer. Here are some general specs. Dell Axim x30 Processor: Intel 312MHz OS: Windows Mobile 2003 SE ROM: 64MB RAM: 64MB Wireless...

    Why did i ask her

    Meesa friends with neonerd, and I have to say she's quite a girl (visually, at least. I'd give her a 6/10 for personality.). But, to give you an idea of his dilema, image Bill Gates dating Avril Lavigne. ;) Nevertheless, good luck to him. *EDITED for harshness in the rating of the personality. :P

    Digital Camera Questions

    My digital camera, a Casio EX-Z4U (one of the Exilims) has two options on it that I'm trying to understand. One is EV Shift which through my research has something to do with the exposure, and the other is ISO. From what I've read a higher ISO (my camera has auto, and then ISO 50-100) helps in...

    Dual Monitors with NVidia

    Actually, I think I've found the problem. The PCI card seems to have a problem with the driver. Might have to do with the fact that I'm on SP2. Any workarounds are appreciated.

    Dual Monitors with NVidia

    I'm not much into graphic cards, so I have two simple cards installed, a PCI Geforce 2 and the AGP TNT or something (pulled it from an eMachine). Anyway, I'm trying to set up dual monitor support, but I think there is some sort of problem with the drivers. When I go to enable the secondary...

    Graphix driver

    lol, he's speaking for me, but that's right. He PMed me. The driver from the CD I installed it with is apparently old, and has had some problems with WinXP, so I shoulda gotten it from the manufacturer's website. However, that doesn't fix my problem. Is there a way I can disable the driver?

    Graphix driver

    Alright, so I got a brand new computer, put on WinXP Pro SP2, and everythings going fine. My friend helped me overclock (I'm a first timer to the thing), and it still went fine. Then I started getting blue screens that had to do with memory, and I read that it could have something to do with the...

    Win 2K Server Sharing & Permissions

    I just set up an old computer in my house to serve as a "file server" for the other computers, so I didn't have to worry about one computer being on or off in order to access my data. I put in a second hard drive, and shared a directory on it to start. I set permissions to allow "Everyone" full...

    SMC not formatting

    I took my smart media card out of my mp3 player (an oldie but a goodie: Rio500), and put it into my card reader and I was unable to format it so that the card reader could read it. I tried the MS-DOS command line utility, and also the GUI utility, but none work. I don't believe that I damaged...

    Sun Ultra 10 won't boot

    My father just brought home a gently used Sun Microsystems Ultra 10 for me to use for whatever I want. I believe it has Solaris 8 on it. I hooked up the keyboard, monitor, and the power and flipped the on switch. It started booting; the fan turned on, it hit the disk drive, and the keyboard...
