    Windows Mail

    I can't find a setting for this anywhere, hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. Is there anyway to prevent it from downloading the emails from the server? Example: I am on my secondary computer, just checking my emails, but want to view them at a later time on my other...

    What am I doing wrong?

    I was hoping to overclock this machine, but it's impossible when I'm already pushing 53-54C on stock voltage! Sorry I couldn't get a picture and had to make this horrible diagram, but I'm hoping someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong here. Specs: E8400, Asus P5Q Pro, Antec 300 case, 5 fans...

    Crossfire setup

    I'm disappointed about this. 2 different video cards and none of them included the bridge. I've never done this before and have no idea how it works. I have both of my 4830's installed right now, but obviously it's not working. What do I need to get this working at the cheapest price? Asus...

    Stupid question here

    The cheapest one I can find B&M is 19.99. I was hoping to get this thing working ASAP! I thought my motherboard may have came with a SATA cable, but open boxes from Newegg are hit and miss, and I missed!

    2xHD4830's or a HD4870?

    I'm not sure which route to take. I can't find any benchmarks that compare the two. My friend is getting rid of one of his HD4830's for $70 and I can buy one currently for $85 AR, so I'd be looking at around $155 total or I was considering an HD4870 which I'm seeing for about $50 more than the...

    Best budget board for a crossfire setup?

    Trying to make a build here, picked up a really good deal on an HD4830, so I'm debating on picking up another one. I'm gonna be picking up an E7400 and OC it, so the board needs decent overclocking abilities and crossfire supported. It will be a heavy gaming machine...

    Building a computer, can't make up my mind!

    well, to start, one is a Dell Inspiron 530 - Core 2 Quad. I can get it for about $375 shipped, but it needs a video upgrade which is going to cost $100 extra, so looking at $475 shipped. I was piecing together an E7400 build on Newegg for $510 shipped after MIR's. I'm not sure which route...

    Internet keeps cutting out

    Here's the setup, hopefully someone is familiar with Vonage. I have everything running to Vonage, then Vonage relays the internet to my wireless router and it goes from there. I'm getting a perfect signal strength, no problems with that. It works great when I'm browsing or downloading...

    boat load of problems

    ok, here's the big one I beleive there is a conflict between my network card - abit airpace (PCI-E x1) and video card x1950 pro (PCI-E x16). Computer boots fine when I take the network card out, if it's in there, it can take up to 10 tries to get the thing to boot. Typical boot gives me 1...

    "Windows found PCI hardware"

    what's going on here? It just popped up when I removed my old network card (PCI express x1). I had to remove it because it was conflicting with my video card, so maybe someone has a reason for that? I'd like to still use it, but it's nothing but a headache when it's installed. It's an Abit...

    I'm about to go insane

    here's the situation. I built this computer over 3 months ago and it's been nothing but a headache. I never made a post about it because I usually just left it on all day after attempting to turn it on 15 times unsuccessfully. I can't take it anymore. I am beating the case, kicking it, doing...

    maybe this unbuntu thing isn't for me?

    after HOURS and hours. I finally got my video card working. I can't get my wifi working for the life of me. I simply don't understand how to install tar.gz files. Not only that, the creating packages thing confuses me to death. I'm really debating if this is for me... I love the interface...

    I want permission to delete my start menu items!!!

    I'm sick of all this stupid stuff this operating system does, most of it serves absolutely no purpose, this for example. I like a small start menu, but I don't have permission to delete anything anyone know?

    Boot problems

    I am running a E4300 @ 3.0ghz. I just recently took down the OC to 1.8ghz and that didn't fix anything. It still does the beeps at the start up (really fast 2 beeps) or 1 beep and the display loads up, but in windows there are no video drivers loaded and ATI catalyst says no ATI device found...

    Vista x64

    I have turned it off, but now I can't turn it off from the notification that it's off. People are saying to click on the icon and there is SUPPOSED to be a "Change the way this program notifies me" but mine doesn't have that option. It's lagging me or something, because my network adaptor...

    Can't even overclock my X1950pro 3mhz

    I'm kinda stumped. The drivers that came on the CD get a much better video stress test and 3dmark score than the latest drivers ATI has released. I can overclock the newer drivers, but can't even budge the old drivers. What am I doing wrong?

    is it worth upgrading from an AMD X2 3800 to a C2D?

    I've wanted to overclock my computer, but I don't think my motherboard is capable of it. I'm sitting at 2ghz but I want to increase this a bit without upgrading the HSF. Would a C2D give me a good performance increase or should I just wait a little while until newer technology comes out? I...
