    I want to do a 2 GB memory upgrade and need the memory to be 184 pin, CL:3 unbuffered, non-ecc, 400DDR, and PC3200.

    Need Help Installing HP3210 Printer In Vista

    The HP web site says that they don't have a driver yet for Vista but that Vista already has a default driver that will let you use the basic printer functions. So I tried their directions and all I get when I want to print something is a window that comes up wanting to save the file as a .xps...

    It's full speed ahead and see what happens. I have all updates on both PC's so I guess I should be OK. This is a Presario by Compaq and I got two discs. One is the HP Upgrade Assistant and it says to make sure you run that first before putting in the Vista disc. Thanks for your help, I...

    Can anyone recommend a good disc defrag utility, maybe a multi-purpose one that cleans the registry as well. Thanks for any input you can provide. Every time I use the Microsoft one it hangs up at 9% and won't go any further. Sincerely, Hans

    8800 GTX Question, Please Help

    Tried Driver Cleaner and re-installed the latest driver and got the same result. It must be a quirk in this game although it didn't do it before. The in-game graphics are fine and so are all my other games. I have no clue what this is and I think I'll chalk it up to one of those unexplained...

    I went and got it and it says you need .Net Framework 2.0 or higher so I installed that and when I went to install driver Cleaner Pro it tells me .Net Runtime Library 2.0 is not installed and is required. Is this another program I have to install now or did I install the wrong one? In my...

    HP 3210 Printer Install Question

    Should these be disabled under the start/run/msconfig/startup menu? That's real helpful, thanks. The CD that came with it gives you two options: One full install option and one that has a brief version of their HP Imaging program, not much choice. Sincerely, Hans

    6800 ULTRA INSTALL PROBLEM, PLEASE HELP

    I have a Asrtock 939 Sata2 motherboard that the 6800 (AGP) came out of. That board will take both PCI-E and AGP cards. The old PC I was trying to put the 6800 into takes only AGP cards which the 6800 is. Think it's worth flashing the BIOS before purchasing a new chip? I found this link for...

    I don't know about that. I just put a 430 Watt power supply in that old PC and ran the PC WITHOUT the 6800 for a few weeks before adding it to the mix. I would think 430 Watts should have been enough to run it. I have since put the old card back in but it looks like the damage is done as it...
