Lock users in home directory with Win2003 Terminal Server

I have a Windows 2003 terminal server which allows users to perform a remote login and upload files. I've limited their sessions to only an Access database - set up only to allow them to upload files and print reports. Once the Access database is closed, it also closes the session, preventing...

No power to one USB port

This problem is on a notebook, a HP DV1000 to be exact. About a week or two after I received it, one of my usb ports stopped working. I called tech support and the service guy told me to remove the USB root hub and standard usb controllers in device manager. Rebooted windows and all the usbs...

What DVD burner did I get?

What leads me to believe that it's OEM, other than not coming with drivers or DVD player software, is that it doesn't have the BENQ logo on the CD tray. What are the benefits of flashing it? And what if it wasn't OEM and I flashed it?

New Comp!!!!!!

That's one solid system. Sure beats the hell out of mine. :) Have you considered a Zalman heatsink? I have one and those things are as quiet as a bunny.

What DVD burner did I get?

I got this as a gift actually, my friend had it sent to my house. So I can't tell you which one he bought. I'd ask him, but he's out of town for the week. I believe it is OEM. The package came with nothing other than the DVD burner and some nero software. I installed it and my computer...

What DVD burner did I get?

I bought a DVD burner from newegg recently. It's a BenQ, but I can't seem to figure out what model they sent me, because the model number is different from the website. It doesn't match any reviews either. The model number I got is a DW1620-201. I can find model numbers with DW1620, and...

Access Denied - Help on getting to my documents?

Hi, Windows recently crapped out on me, and I decided to operate. However, there's a BUNCH of stuff that I need to save, about 50 or so gigs worth of documents and other data. I had a spare 13 gig harddrive lying around and decided to put that to use. I formatted the 13 giger and...

There's a lot of things that could be going wrong. Try taking everything off the motherboard except the video card, CPU, and memory. Try booting up then.

Interfacing gaming console with desktop PC

I have an ATI TV Wonder card. I have a Gamecube. I want to be able to play my GCN on my desktop computer seamlessly. I have no TV. The problem is not how to hook everything up - I'm handy dandy with that. The problem is the rate at which the signal from the GCN is received and displayed...

Windows clock always wrong

I realized something else today that came across to be quite odd. My clock never reached 3:00 pm. I noticed this while programming today. The clock would read 1:45 pm, continue to go on until about 2:50 pm, then suddenly go back in time and read 1:45 pm again. As of now, it reads 2:07...

Stick 'em all on your desk. Sub under your desk. Or, you can get two sticks from the yard. Tape your rear speakers around the sticks, and duct tape them to your chair. Put the sub under your chair for uber bass. OR. You can tie the rear speakers to string/rope/chain suspended from...

Everytime I start up my computer, the clock will always display the time from when I last shut down the computer. So, say I shut down my computer at 6:30 pm. When I boot up again three hours later, the clock will still read 6:30 pm. This even happens in hibernate mode. What's wrong with my...

Zalman vs. Thermaltake cooler for AMD?

Another vote for Zalman. I had a Thermaltake Volcano 9 for who knows how long. All I remember was having a loud fan and hot temps. I switched out to the AlCu Zalman and everything is cooler and quieter.

I took off the fan to my video card and all that is left on the vid chip is the heatsink. The fan stopped spinning once before, and I didn't think it was too big of a deal. I recently cleaned up all the gunk that had accumulated in the fan and it started spinning again. However, since it has...

HOT CASE...need new heatsink.

It's been relatively hot lately, so the ambient temp might be causing the high temps in your case. My computer has been running stable for about 2 years now, at about 55-60C idle. I never really took much concern to it until my computer started randomly shutting down and I figured I'd better...

No, actually, the Antec doesn't have that 12V cable. I didn't think it was such a big deal since my computer turned on, lol. Well crap. So is that what is causing the problem? Why didn't the problem come up immediately rather than showing up after 3 months of use?
