Hey guys,
I recently formatted my drive and put my XP on a 3 gig partition of my hard drive. However...it seems as if the OS is telling me I only have 2 gigs free...where'd it all GO?? I mean, after installing all my programs on a different partition (which for some reason also put stuff...
Hey guys,
I need some serious help. My computer has been running fine these past 3 weeks since upgrading from 2000 to windows xp, but yesterday I was playing the game "Max Payne" on my computer when it suddenly locked up, yes, locked up in XP. I did a manual shutoff through the power...
Hey guys,
I purchased my wacom pen tablet yesterday and I love it, but since installing it, every 2 hours my computer just cuts off all connections to all my input devices that go through usb. I downloaded the latest driver and it still does it. I'm running under windows XP and i'm getting...
Hey..thanks for the help but I followed that link you gave me and it created me a nice little coaster:) The directions for Nero there were for Linux users...does that make a difference?
oh and about the legal thing..my roomate swears it is! It was some beta thing or something he got months...
Hey there,
I was wondering if any of you have own or tried a WACOM tablet. I'm a digital artist and I thought it looked really cool looking at the reviews online, and apparently WACOM is the only credible company that makes this tablet. For those of you that do know about it, is the...
hey... i had the same problem..tried to work on it for a week with all the archived info with the thousands of others who had the same problem on anandtech. TO NO AVAIL. From what i researched the card should work OK with XP (not as perfect though because what was the actual aureal staff isn't...
Hi, my roomate downloaded windows XP (legal..bought it and everything!) and it came in an *.iso file from microsoft. Now..he has NO idea how to burn this thing into the cd and get it to work. He's using nero, can someone help me out? thanks.
Bacillus: Thanks but that's where the tech guy sent me to find the drivers...it wasn't much help.
Katana: I don't have a copy of XP yet, but I"ll use the win2000 disc I have for my computer and see if that works...
Ok..I feel rather silly writing in about a Compaq in a forum of enchanted techies..but I have a problem and I hope you guys could help. :o The tech help wasn't that great...
My friends computer is not too old (900mhz; model 5005SR) but out of warranty, and was just professionally...
awe :( well it only did the turning on and off when i took the battery in and out which i found really wierd. I've put together a couple computers in my life and mobos didn't turn on and off from taking the battery in and out. With my rash unplugging..what might you think I could have damaged?
Hey guys,
I was hoping you could help me out. I was formatting a friends computer to put win 98 back in because ME was a little...faulty. I wanted to reset the bios, couldn't find the jumper on the mobo, so I wanted to take the Lithium battery out and put it back in. In doing so...
ah thanks. The issue was I need some hefty rendering power for graphics and bought 2 256 2100 blocks from Crucial, and just discovered Kingston sells 512 blocks for pretty affordable now (which crucial doesn't have at all). I'm gonna get it hope its ok.
Hey any of you guys know if its ok to put like a 2100 Kingston DDR stick with a 2100 Crucial stick on the same board? I'm new to the world of DDR so I'm not sure if its ok 2 of the same kinds of RAM come from 2 different companies. Thanks.
Hey does anyone know where to find voodoo2 drivers? I need it because I put the ancient relic in my second computer but the 3dfx site doesn't have them working anymore (that's where I was directed from download.com). Thanks.
Hey guys, for some reason my computer that has been working perfectly for 1 week randomly rebooted overnight and has done so once this morning when I decided to check for errors. What's more my morpheus keeps generating errors now and once even said my "drwatson is updated but for another...
Ahh! I installed AOL just to try it for a few days because i was getting a cable modem installed at a later date. I then deleted it, but at every upper right corner of my IE windows is (gasp) an AOL icon!! How do I get rid of it? Can someone help me out? Thanks
Hey there,
I recently upgraded to win2k and for the life of me cannot get my Handspring visor to Hotsync with my computer...it has alot of important info on it so I really need it to work in case something happens to my palm. When the hotsync fails I try to reinstall the Hotsync driver but...
err..hehe...actually its even more stupid...I forgot to pull out the plug when I reset my cmos so it didn't fully reset...=P apparently there's still some power goign through if you don't pull the plug out.
Hi guys,
I put together a computer with my old parts and a Abit KT7 mobo, it booted just fine into cmos. However, it was reading my master as a secondary master with no primary master, so I put "none" for secondary master in cmos to see what'd happen, rebooted, and nothing...
Hey guys, I have two questions that'll be pretty easy for you advance users, I hope you can help me:
1) When I installed win2k I set myself as the only user, but for some reason whenever I reboot it logs in as the "administrator" rather than me, and I have to relog in as me everytime...
Hey there,
Does anyone know how to UN-partition a disk in win2k? I'm getting a new faster hard drive and I want it to be my new windows drive, and my old disk is partitioned into 2 drives...but I want to join them together again. One of the drives in my old hard disk is NTFS, the other...
Allright thanks alot guys, been a great help.
Designdawg, I hope you don't mind if I ask you a simple question not related to hardware. I haven't had much personal contact with actual animators and wondering since I've been working with 3dmax for a couple months...what program do you recommend...
hehehe 512 megs..yes I'm well aware. As as to why I don't get a gig...its just matter of not being able to afford all of that at the moment =P but I think it'll be fine for now...I just hope DDR prices don't go up soon.
Hey Golden Tiger, I'm self-taught and when I started I just learned...
Hey..great. I'll fetch for the 512 then...I'm a standard university student wanting to get into the animation industry and I've been teaching myself the tools for a couple months now...and the rendering times have been hell for me. Thanks alot.
Hey there,
I was wondering if 512 DDR RAM would be pointless or useful in rendering graphics in 3d Studio Max with a 1.2 gigahert processor. Anyone know if that's just too much RAM that won't fully be used? Thanks.
haaha overclocking....no sirreee my cousins board just gave out from overclocking..and 1.2 ghz is good enough for me even though I render alot in 3d Max. so..what's the big difference in the two mobos just mentioned? thanks.
Hey guys,
I was wondering if you guys knew a good, affordable DDR mobo for my Athlon 1.2 ghz 266 FSB processor. I'm using old school Abit KT7 and it bugs me that I'm choking out at 100-133 FSB so I'm planning to get a new motherboard...might as well make it DDR. Suggestions will be...
ah...ok well I'm using win2k so I think the OS can handle the RAM overload. I'm trying to get as much juice as I can because I run 3D studio Max and consistent rendering gets a little annoying. I guess I'll fetch for a new mobo, thanks guys.
I just have to throw in I've always been irritated with this problem in trade/technology schools in that they may teach you skills and facts, but rarely teach you how to seriously think on your own. Just had to say that.
Hi guys,
I have a 1.3 gig AMD processor with 266 BUS...but my motherboard is a Abit KTV that seems to have a max BUS of 100...I think. Anyhow...since I'll get a new motherboard and upgrade that a later time since its a big hassle, I was wondering if getting 3 chunks of Kingston 256 RAM...
Hey all,
I've had win2k for a couple weeks already and its doing greater than any OS I've tried..well, after a week of replacing my old trusty voodoo3 graphics and Diamond monster soundcard because those companies were bought out, meaning no new drivers. :( However, being a 3d graphics...
ah! the specs on multiwave direct (which are the official ones cuz I've seen them everywhere..I think) say the kt7a can handle 200 and 266 mhz. I didn't even know a kt7 without the A existed. Are you sure? Thanks
