Elsa has the feature of sliders to select refresh rates. Elsa used to have a "generic" driver for non-Elsa cards that would allow you to simply click which driver you wanted to use (between the oem driver and the elsa "generic".
The led on bottom dims when inactive. The led/tail light stays on at one brightness level. Led's have a very long life expectancy and very little power requirement.
(I know one person who refuses to buy one due to the electric bill because she leaves her computer on continuously to avoid the...
It is possible to run 2 modems tandem and get greater speed. Sorry I don't have the links readily available with more information. Best bet is the dsl though. I have Prodigy and I hated them for the first 10 months. Had the same problem of losing line sync. Finally they either got enough...
I have read multiple places that Norton causes system problems. Some people love it and defend it zealously. Other people hate it. Try removing the last 2 items one at a time to see if one alleviates the problem.
Is the En4060ct in reference to a USB DSL modem? I had one and it caused problems...
Please note this excerpt >>" .. but if i try to change drivers NO MATTER what drivers they are.. it comes back.. <<".
Curious problem though.
Adding ram will greatly help in many situations including (IMO) extending the life of your harddrive. As mentioned by icecool83 your hard disk will work a lot less. I have 320 megs and I can play Team Fortress Classic online and my hard drive will actually go into sleep mode.
I would suggest booting into Safe Mode and inspecting Device Manager. Items that do not show in normal Device Manager will sometimes be present in Safe Mode as history items.
If it is on-board sound, you might not be able to successfully remove them. I had this happen to me and I just clicked...
Is this the short neck one? A local Fry's is advertising the short one for the same offer. I was considering a low end 17" for my son (anything would surpass his 15" he uses now.) But for this price, why not the 19"?
For a more thorough examination of your harddrive try The Cleaner. It is a 30 day trial so you will have to register to use it afterwards (well there are other ways, but this would be the best).
It also has an active monitor that will "watch" your registry and sound an alarm if...
Huh? I still use rabbit ears cuz I don't watch tv other than a rare glimpse now and then. Bear in mind they can control video copying a great deal more with digital signals. Most likely it is here to stay. I also expect broadcasting to disappear due to the lack of ability to monitor what...
Do a search for webcam, streaming video or such. Find sites such as this one and find ones you like. Try to find contact information and ask those experienced in setting one up. One successful site has indoor cams with manual zoom. They do not use the typical webcams with lousy quality...
Thank you, CRV. Looks like a handy site there. I found and cured the problem. I booted in Safe Mode and checked Device Manager and found my Creative items were all double installed for some reason. I removed them all and rebooted to allow W98 to detect new hardware and install the software...
I added a harddrive to a Compaq about a year ago. I didn't use a boot floppy. Just booted as normal and the BIOS detected it automatically and updated the configuration. One note is that it was not a blank hard drive. You should be able to format a blank new one tho as you already have an OS on...
Recently viewed some video demos I downloaded. The demos were awesome. The last time I viewed them the graphics appeared as if in Safe Mode. A few did not work in as much as they would show as scattered in mulitple windows. I shrugged them off as they are not that important.
The next time I...
Windows ME has had some problems with gaming on some systems for some reason. You might try reinstalling 98 to see if the game works. Perhaps the people in the Operating Sytem forum here can shed some light before you do that.
I originally installed the Microsoft cd when I got the first mouse. When I removed the software (don't recall why, now) it asked if I wanted to also remove a program which by the name sounded like some kind of data gathering spyware. I never got into researching to see if it was. I had a...
I had the first release of the Microsoft Intellieye and used the Logitech version 8 driver. The slider adjustment for the driver allowed up to 200 refresh rate. I had to replace the mouse (not a product failure tho) and installed the version 9 Logitech driver. Now the slider allows up to 100...
The router/switch will use only 1 IP as far as your provider is concerned also. Check out your ISP to see what their stance is on sharing. Some ISP's don't like for people to share especially when it ties up another IP. You also should be aware of some issues when gaming with the various methods...
And of course, there is nothing wrong with a PIII either. I have built 5 PIII systems. I was originally planning to build an Athlon until I started reading and hearing all the "compatibility" horror stories. There were enough of those circulating around to scare me into going the extra...
The most I have been able to get to show on the net_graph is 100. I have always felt as if there is some kind of cap on the online game or on the graph itself tho. I run a GTS 2 and it acts as if it wants to go higher.
And yes, the default fps_max is 72. Change as the previous post says.
You...
Check Karbo's Guide and this tweak site to see if they help. Also search the older threads here for the link(s) to MadCowz' tweaking guide. There was a recent update about the site posted here.
Thanks NicColt I had heard that XP required online activation through Microsoft. (Even mentioned it in another thread about XP). This in conjunction with the fact that it is easier for another pc to control your? Hmmmm. Microsoft may indeed have found a solution for piracy. Copyright protection...
Had a Pentium 133 running 98SE thru 16 megs Fast Page. Later added 64. The cost of adding ram will probably pay for itself in the increased life span of the hard drive. The hard drive will run a lot less with additional ram at that minimal level.
Yes, his link will lead you to a lot of good help. Click the "New How to" button on the header line at that website. Use a comfy chair and do lots of reading. Good luck.
Check msconfig (Start>Run type msconfig) to see what apps have checks in the boxes indicating what is running when you boot. Also if you have been connected to the internet there is a possibility of a a trojan program which may not show on this list.
Go here and download Adaware to detect any...
I recommend a graphics accelerator. I have the Elsa Gladiac GeForce 2 GTS and it improved Half-Life/Team Fortress Classic so much that I died on many occasions while looking at the awesome detail. Frame rate will go up lots.
Next I think you would look for speakers next from what I gather. A...
First make a boot disk (if you don't have one). Second, boot the machine with this disk to be sure it works. I have had several occasions where the floppy was no longer good or the floppy drive would not read the boot disk even thought other floppies worked fine.
Take several occasions to make...
Many times people who have the latest, greatest, most expensive devices (regardless of genre) do so in self indulgence to an ego driven desire to lead others. They buy according to what would impress others and therefore influence others to admire/follow 'item-owner'.
The SIE (self indulging...
If on start up the cursor blinks in the upper left corner and then in the upper right corner, this is when you hit F10 on many Compaqs. When the larger cursor is blinking in the upper right hit F10 or possibly try tapping it a various speeds. Three times (about one per second) works on one of...
Any possibility of 'borrowing' a system to do a temporary install of the MX?
I had a mobo/vid card compatibility problem with a GeForce and a Gigabyte board but that was due to the AGP not having enough power available for the hungry GeForce. The board had a jumper to boost the power but still...
Is the MX sharing IRQ's? My GTS 2 shares fine with my NIC but not with my Live!. When sharing with the sound card it will play 3D games for a while and then hard lock the system or crash back to desktop. Contact the manufacturer to see what they suggest for all the BIOS settings.
