bad to leave comp speaks on?

Holy lord, that thing is bright! I have one of mine on a desk shelf that is at eye level. I had to put a small piece of electrical tape over it so I'm not blinded.

Corrupt files/hard drive problem

Thanks for the input. I have finals this week, but I am planning on doing a clean install after that so I'll update all of the drivers, etc.

Corrupt files/hard drive problem

I've run memtest and had no problems. I've never run Prime95. I thought it was more for people who are doing overclocking. Should I run it?

Corrupt files/hard drive problem

I have a DVD-ROM drive and CD-RW drive on the onboard IDE. I put the hard drives on an add-in card because I had 3 of them, so there wasn't room to put all onboard.

Corrupt files/hard drive problem

Power supply is Antec TruePower 330W All three drives are connected to a Promise Ultra ATA card. The 200GB is set to master, 80GB to slave. The 30GB is by itself on the other channel. I have everything installed as default drivers.

How on earth do you clear the URLs visited in Internet Explorer?

This was suggested several posts up. Clearing history does not work for me, but this always does for me. First, you need to have admin rights. Next, go to C:\Documents and Settings\**USER NAME**\Local Settings\History In the history folder, open today's folder, choose edit->select all and...

Sound problems with TB Santa Cruz

I moved it to different slots, but the problem persisted. Wherever I moved it, it kept it on the same IRQ as the onboard LAN connection, a USB controller and a Promise IDE controller card. Finally, I took out the card, enabled Plug and Play O/S in the BIOS setup, and reinstalled the card...

New system: No sound from Santa Cruz

$324 at newegg. Wow. They look awesome, but I enjoy being married and I think I wouldn't be if I bought these. This started out as an upgrade on our gateway. I was going to replace the CPU. But then I needed a new motherboard. And memory (1GB of DDR400 or course!). Of course, the 200 watt...

Question about XP upgrade on new system

I ended up buying the XP Pro upgrade through my university. It was a new install on a new system. Not one time during registration did it ask for any proof of prior ownership. Of course, when I bought it at the university bookstore, the lady couldn't find me as being currently registered...

New system: No sound from Santa Cruz

Nope, still not working. The speakers are digital (Boston Acoustics). I was on their website, and there was a notice that the model I have is having problems with Win XP. It gave a site to download the driver update for SB Live (soundcard that comes with the Gateway that these speakers came...
