yeah i thought it was completely ridiculous that they don't have a way to manually select the drive through the program itself..it just has a button to automatically find it. i've installed it on a friend's computer (with the default c:) and it works fine.
i'll try that subst thing when i get...
My original hard drive got messed up so i had to get a new one and install windows again. this time, it installed as I: and not C:. I have a program that I installed an add-on for and it doesn't seem to want to work and I think it's because it's not in the C: drive since, for whatever reason...
I'd be ok with that mainly cause I haven't been playing many PC games lately. Just good to know that it's just the video card that was causing the problem. thanks for the help
i put it in the toaster oven at a little over 350 for about 10 minutes and i am able to play games now. apparently it worked. woohoooo. wonder how long it will last
would you suggest manually soldering each contact? i really don't mind taking the time to do that as i'm currently unemployed and can't afford to buy a new graphics card
or i'll just go to a thrift store and buy some piece of trash toaster oven since my soldering iron is also trash XD
i haven't been able to play games or run a few other programs for a while now on my pc, and i'm not sure if it's the graphics card or what. it started when i was playing world of warcrack and it just shut down. i haven't been able to play a game since that. i can open them, and it might get...
ok i'll try to figure out the temp thing when i get a chance. i googled it and looks like asus should have some kind of program built in to check that. i used to have it either on my lap or the bed sometimes, but haven't been doing that for a while for the overheating reason.
oh snap. automatic updates just came up and said time to restart the computer. thank you to everyone for the input. ended up going with Dial-A-Fix. tried the microsoft tool on their website and it failed. the other options of manually editing the registry didn't work cause my computer is kind of...
recently my laptop has just starting powering down after playing world of warcraft for a while. sometimes takes 30 minutes and sometimes over an hour. the laptop is a little over a year old and haven't had this problem before. is this an issue with the graphics card or just the cpu overheating...
windows update is turned off and windows security center is trying to get me to turn it on. when i click the button that says "turn on automatic updates" it says the security center cannot change the settings and that i should go into the control panel and do it myself. i've tried that and it...
I was having some problems with my hard drive so I just decided to do a new install of windows 7 instead of choosing the upgrade option. It had windows vista before. I'm pretty sure the model number is Satellite A300-ST4505... Anyway, it is really slow right now and pretty much of no use. Could...
update:
I tried opening another program and it froze again..this time i got a blue screen and then the computer shut down. somehow i feel the graphics card is fine because it can still run a 3D modeling program without any noticeable difference from before.
I got an error last night while I was playing world of warcraft and it closed. I tried to open it again but it just froze when it got to the login screen. I got some kind of error with "nv4_disp"...i ignored it the first time and just restarted but it was still messed up. I removed the video...
i went to the file that you said for the first suggestion, and there are about 50 folders in it. does that sound normal? i was expecting maybe 1 or 2 extra. also, i didn't have either of the ones you have on your computer. neither "DllNXOptions" or "iexplore.exe".
so i skipped and went to the...
I just got finished scanning my computer and removing some virus. i restarted it, and now none of the icons on my desktop (or anywhere else) work. it brings up the "open with" box to select a program. i've tried looking at the properties to make sure the target path is to the right folder in the...
i may be in luck. my friend's dad bought a new wireless router to replace their old linksys. he described what it looks like so i'm hoping it's the WRT54GL. gonna see if i can buy it from them.
i don't know what any of those add-on programs do or if i would even have any use for them.
not...
i'll have to read more about tomato and dd-wrt. not sure exactly what those do..ha. another concern is that if i buy the WRT54GL will i need to replace it if it can't support faster internet speeds that will eventually come out, or is that even an issue ? it's just that i've never seen so many...
yeah i was just looking at that one and people have good things to say about it...now i have 2 options for the wireless g. :o
also..is it possible that the phones are causing interference if they are also using the 2.4 ghz frequency, or would it only cause interference when you are actually...
yeah i'm trying to acquire it. heh. and i've tried using hwclear.exe then using that file that i downloaded from their website.
i think it's ridiculous that they make you buy a replacement cd when most other companies would have something like this for free on their website. it's not like you...
I'm looking for a router to replace my old US Robotics wireless router which has been performing terribly as of late. I've seen reviews for the WRT54GL and it sounds great, but I know it's an older model and there is no wireless N. That part doesn't really matter to me since i'm on a desktop...
I had to get a new hard drive and install windows again on my computer, and I put off reinstalling the tv tuner until yesterday. I installed the drivers from the CD, and then I tried to install the actual WinTV program. It's saying that nothing else needs to be installed and doesn't give me an...
woohoo, the unchecking all the boxes in the LAN settings thing worked. and now google chrome seems to be working. the only thing now is that the zune media player won't connect to find album info but that doesn't really bother me. other than that, looks like everything is back to normal.
thanks...
so i got home and ran dial a fix. i don't know if it even did anything but for some reason i can access the internet through Firefox. before, i tried internet explorer and google chrome and after that i just said whatever there is something wrong. i never even bothered to check firefox...so i...
alright i'll give that a try. I removed the NIC driver through the add/remove program thing, restarted the computer, and then it installed again after i put in the cd, but i still couldn't connect to the internet...
I'm not really sure how to do that...i have the nic on the motherboard, so do you think the drivers or whatever I should need would be on a disc that came with the motherboard? I just want to be sure before I go home and start messing with it and have to come back here cause I didn't know what...
I recently had a pain in the butt virus that finally seems to be gone for good but now for some reason I can't connect to the internet.
I am getting this error message:
Windows cannot connect to the internet using HTTP, HTTPS, FTP. This is probably caused by firewall settings on this...
I just got some program called Antivirus...It will not let me open .exe files. I restarted in safe mode, ran malwarebytes, and then a-squared...i deleted the antivirus file that was associated with the virus. restarted back to normal mode, and it came back.
I went into the registry and...
I recently installed a few programs on my computer and now for some reason, whenever I restart my computer the date changes to april 2016. I don't know what I did but it's annoying because I can't sign on to msn messenger unless I change the date back to what it's supposed to be. any ideas?
(i guess this is where i should post this :s)I need to get my website back online but I'm not really sure what the best deal would be or where to start. I used godaddy before pretty much cause it's the only one that I know of. Any suggestions?
I want one that's fairly easy to use and has a...
Right now I'm using an 8800GT. I do 3D animation with Maya and sometimes it will just crash. I know why it crashes cause I've done it a couple times before and it always happens. Can't really explain what I'm doing but it gets kind of annoying. I am just wondering if there is an affordable...
ahh. nope not a laptop. i don't know how i can go into the bios and set the default display cause even when i plug the monitor into the onboard nothing shows up on the monitor. but i know what you mean though with the bios settings.
I have a computer that I've been trying to work on and I just can't figure out what the problem is. The power supply seems to be doing its job. The cpu fan goes on when I turn the power on, and I am able to open the dvd drives and I believe everything is plugged in and what not. I've tried 2...
i thought i had my parents' computer fixed, and it was running for a couple of days. But not when i try to turn it on it just beeps. it was one long beep followed by i believe 6 short ones. i know that it means something but i have no idea what, and i don't know where i can find that...
yeah i don't know what's up with it and it didn't come with a disc to reinstall or anything. and if i reinstall windows it will erase everything, correct? i might just get another hard drive and use that instead. i was able to pull files off of my parents hard drive onto my computer.
I'm trying to get my parents' computer working again. i changed the video card which i was hoping was the only problem but when i turn the computer on it says i need to insert something to boot from. i don't want to have to reinstall windows cause we have the media center edition and they didn't...
yeah, it's not bad. the only problem i had with it is i got the pc version and people complained so much about being the test subjects for bugs and stuff (boohoo) that they just didn't play so there were hardly any servers with enough people playing.
My parents have a sony vaio and I'm guessing the motherboard is PTGD-VX since thats the only thing i see written on it in big letters...anyway, my uncle said the motherboard is dead so i'm trying to find a replacement but I have no idea where to look..i've only searched on newegg. i might just...
