I've been using the updated version of PanicWare's Pop-Up Stopper - available at http://www.panicware.com/product_psfree_download.html Does a decent job of getting rid of most nasty pop ups on sites like CNN, Weather Channel, etc. Just be sure to configure the app to notify/not notify you...
I echo trying some different media - my Asus 5224-A 52x CD-RW uses some sort of Flextralink or something technology that slows it down for media the drive judges to be incompatible with the 52x recording speed. In those instances, Nero only gives me the maximum speed of 16-40x, depending on the...
I figured this slowdown problem out after recently performing a clean WinXP Pro install. With the patch installed, there was this weird latency or lag everytime I attempted to start an application. (For example I'd start Eudora, and then suddenly have like 3-5 seconds where the computer just...
After learning that this firmware update problem seems limited to Win NT based systems, I decided to play and accomplished a work-around. If you want to use the Asus firmware updater program, simply right click on the downloaded file, run it in Windows 95 compatibility mode and vioja - the...
Well I have the same problem on my new Asus 5224 and after a quick Google search, seems that this is a problem under WinXP systems. Unfortunately not sure of the work around outside of taking the drive to an older WIn9x system. Hopefully Asus will give us a fix to this already. At least for...
In different instances I have had both excellent luck and problems with each brand of drive in large public computer labs and personally built machines - but I will say out of that group, the Maxtor RMA policy is top notch. Basically if you ever have a problem with a drive, they're return a new...
Wow, thanks for all of the useful information and links!!
In investigating this problem (opening the case, plugging/unplugging fans, and using the Speedfan app, I discovered the following:
1.) My ThermalTake 80x80x25 (39 CFM) rear case fan was the worst offended & I temporarily replaced it...
I have a P4/1600 system that desparately needs to be quieted down. Right now it sounds like a small jet with all its fans, which would be fine if it were a jet and not a desktop computer in my bedroom. Here's what I have in terms of fans:
Enermax EG465P-VE (FC) 431w Power Supply (I think the...
I'm about to reconfigure my P4 system on an Asus P4T-E motherboard and this time around, I'm wondering whether I truly need to install the Intel Application Accelerator (IAA) software? I performed a search already on the AT Forums, but could not come to any definitive answers. My one concern...
Hi Everyone....In setting up a computer here, I am faced with a decision whether to use USB connections for the keyboard and mouse or the traditional PS2 ports. While using one or the other doesn't matter in terms of which ports are used, freed, etc., I am wondering whether there is a...
