    Problem with Kaspersky & Anandtech

    Nevermind... I found out that the Kaspersky updater had essentially crashed. Windows Update patched and rebooted my computer overnight and Kaspersky was trying to download updates since 3:00am this morning - it was trying for 6 hours. I tried stopping the Kaspersky updater and it ended up...

    Problem with Kaspersky & Anandtech

    The forums are running much better for me this morning. And DailyTech is pretty fast too. Does it seem any better for you?

    Problem with Kaspersky & Anandtech

    Yep, same problem here. Seems like it started a week or so ago. Also running Vista Ultimate 64bit. All other sites I go to have been fine.

    Kaspersky 6.0 - Anyone Using It?

    Another vote for Kaspersky 6 here -- it's very light on resources. I was using EZ AntiVirus before and liked it because it was also light on resources but it doesn't protect you from nearly as much as KIS does.

    Does LCD screen absolutely needs a screen-saver?

    FWIW, several months ago I saw an LCD on a cash register with an image burnt in. I think it was a 17" Viewsonic. As jliechty said, I'd atleast put the monitor in standby mode to save the backlight.

    Remote Desktop Connection

    Actually, Remote Desktop uses port 3389. As Spy said, make sure you can ping the other machine. Then, ensure that Remote Desktop access is enabled on the machine you're trying to connect to. Right-click on My Computer, select Properties, select the Remote tab, make sure the checkbox for...

    Win2k Constant crashing? XP improvment?

    I've had much better luck with XP than Windows 2000. I'm using XP Professional, though Home should be just as reliable. The best suggestion I can make regarding stability is to make sure you're running up-to-date drivers for all of your hardware, and that you are using the latest (preferably...

    Windows XP and SB Audigy - minor issues - anyone else?

    Solution to SoundFont issue... found on http://listen.to/sblive message boards. "I found a solution by reading the creative newsgroups. Randy posted a good instruction and a reason why it does not work in WinXP. There is nothing wrong with the Audigy drivers, its the system file protection of...

    Windows XP and SB Audigy - minor issues - anyone else?

    I am running Windows XP Professional RC2. I just installed the Sound Blaster Audigy Platnum EX and am having a few minor problems. I installed the Windows 2000 drivers that shipped with the card, as well as Play Center, etc. I know XP drivers are supposed to be released in October, but I'm...

    winxp, sblive, ut = static on every other run

    The same thing happened to me... I think I fixed it though... Download and install the UT 436 Creative Edition patch, Creative Labs EAX library patch, and enhancements from HERE. Good luck!

    Will Norton AntiVirus 2001 work on Windows XP?

    It is possible to get Norton Antivirus 2001 working in XP... It works for me, though the configuration application crashes occasionally when closing it. Here's what you do to get it working: 1) Insert the NAV2001 installation CD and continue on to Install. Windows will warn you that the...

    WindowsXP and Unreal Tournament (OpenGL)

    Windows XP does not ship with accelerated OpenGL drivers for your video card. If you have an nVidia card, install the newest Detonators for Windows 2000 and you'll be set. If you have an ATI card, ask around a bit more - I'm not familiar with their drivers.

    Advice on a wireless keyboard and mouse

    Ten feet might be just on the limits of the range... but the Logitech Cordless Desktop Pro is nice. Split keyboard design, nice ergonomic mouse. Decent keyboard management software, but I had lots of problems with the mouse drivers in Windows 2000 so I just stick with the MS driver built in...

    Alright, who's sprung for a 17 or 18 inch TFT monitor?

    I have a Samsung SyncMaster 770TFT (17") hooked up analog to my Creative Annhilator 2 GTS. I've had the monitor for about 5 months, so I've had adequate time to put it through its paces. Here are some observations. 1) The native resolution (1280x1024) is crystal clear! Even small text...

    What the heck is "Still Image Monitor" (STIMON)?

    If you have an HP scanner, it's what allows you to scan. You can remove it from startup if you don't need to scan. I'd suggest using MSCONFIG to easily disable and reenable it. You'll need to reboot each time.

    CDROM can't work under Win2000

    Acura - it's odd that you are able to play music CDs in Windows 2000, yet the system can't find the CD-ROM. Does the drive letter show up in Explorer or My Computer? As for the ASPI layers, Shadow07 is right - you first need to install an Adaptec product such as Easy CD Creator to load the...

    CDROM can't work under Win2000

    Hi! I know you said CD-ROM, but I just spent the last two days recovering from a similar situation with my CD-RW drive. Is your CD-ROM drive a burner by any chance? If so, do you run Adaptec DirectCD and Windows Media Player 7? If so, I'm willing to bet that's the problem. There is a conflict...

    Anyone ever see an Eizo FlexScan F980?

    Thanks dkozloski - the reviews I've read say the same thing. It's nice to know you've had an Eizo for 7 years and it's still as good as the day you got it. If I'm going to spend $1,700+ on a monitor, I want it to last :) Anyone else see this one in person?

    Anyone ever see an Eizo FlexScan F980?

    I'm in the market for a top-o-the-line 21" monitor. I really want to stay away from aperture grill monitors cuz of the damper wires. I've done a bit of research and came across the Eizo FlexScan F980. Other than being incredibly expensive, the specs and handful of reviews I've read make...
