    I am attempting to install some application on my windows tablet PC's SDcard. I have formatted the drive to use NTFS, but when I attempt to install to the d:\ drive, I am told that I cannot install on a non-local drive. I went into storage settings and change the setting to save app to the D...

    Question Need to replace a case fan

    I am working on a PC for a relative. It's a GB-BXA8-5557. She was complaining that it was overheating and making rattling noises. I took the cover off and notice that one of the fan had broken blades and was no longer spins, so the other fan is spinning faster to compensate making the rattling...

    Last night, I attempted to access this site and got a site not found. When I tried google, it comes up, so I am able to access some sites but not others. I then tried disconnecting and reconnecting. This is when II notice that the wifi was stuck to the profile of public and there was no way to...

    Question Cannon MX860 printer no longer shows up in the Printer & Scanner Settings

    I don't know if this was caused by the recently update (windows 10 build 1903) or not, but I notice that the printer Cannon MX860 do not show up in the Printer & Scanner Settings or the device manager settings panel. What's weird is that it prints fine and if I use device manager, I can see the...

    Question Is it better to turn off printer to save ink

    That's what I thought, so if you turn on the printer each time to print and you print often, then turning it on an off will actually waste more ink since each power up means self-cleaning is activated. If it's not use for a long time, then turn it off? paul

    Question Is it better to turn off printer to save ink

    My mom's Cannon MX860 appears to waste ink even if she doesn't print anything. For example, she prints may be a few pages per month, but the cartridge appears to empty faster than expected. There may be two things at work here: 1. Ink evaporates from the cartridge even if you don't use it. 2...

    Can someone explain why SSD needs to be aligned

    Ha, there are a lot of luddites out there. Most of the work places I worked at are very slow to change. It'll be a long time before we see post-XP system. Thanks for the info folks, I was wondering, do I need to start and end partition on a 4K boundary or just start? Paul

    Can someone explain why SSD needs to be aligned

    I recently purchased a SSD for my wife to use in her laptop, but is puzzled about SSD alignment. A lot of article tell you how to align it, but not why. From what I can determine, it's probably the following reason: 1. SSD page is typically 4K (is this always true? How can I tell what page...

    Versioning the my document folder on a laptop

    My wife would like to be able to get to previous versions of her work. This would be similar to the Mac's time machine, but on a Windows XP laptop w/o access to wifi or external hard disk. The system must be self-contained since wifi is not always available and she can't be lugging around an...

    Can I use a large drive with an old BIOS with reduce storage

    Hi, My mother has an older computer that has ATA-66. This mean the maximum supported disk size is around 137 GB. It's getting kind of hard to find a drive these days that small unless you go online. If I buy a 160 GB drive, will it work even if it only shows 137 GB. Is this harmful to the...

    Need replacement for a All-in-One printer

    Oops, I meant Cannon Pixma. In any case, after some research, I notice a deal on one of the HP All-In-One inkjet and purchased it. Frankly, my mom will probably never notice the advance features. Even the price per page doesn't matter so much because she doesn't print a lot (the problem with the...

    Need replacement for a All-in-One printer

    Apparently she does want color. A color laser would be nice, but they cost $500+. I am edging toward the HP Pixma series. They're not as reliable as they used to be, but they appeared to be more reliable than average judging from surveys.

    How can they harvest COA from OEM machines?

    In the Feb 2009 of PC World, I read the following article: http://www.pcworld.com/busines...ht_for_windows_xp.html I am not going to go into whether this is fair or not, but it is my understanding that OEM license is tied to the motherboard. Microsoft has indicate in the past that when you...

    Did AMD miss the boat in these Nettop boxes?

    Recently, I notice that various vendor are selling these tiny desktops sometimes call Nettop. All are powered by Intel Atom chip and sell for about $135 or so barebone. From what I can determine, Intel Atom is not a fast chip. The slowest Sempron sold is probably faster. While the Atom is...

    Netbook Choices

    Go out to a store and try them out. The thing is that you have to be able to live with the smaller screen and keyboard. From my point of view the 7" is just too small to type on and thought 800x600 is too small. The other laptop typically spot a 1024x600, which is generally OK. I find that I...

    eMachine T2895 Windows Install problem

    Solved it after playing around with the bios. On the eMachine T2895, there is an option to load the fail-safe factory setting. If you load this, Windows will never work. You need to load the optimized factory setting. If you do this, the windows setup will start working again.

    AMD Cool n' Quiet Technology

    In my opinion, it is a yes. It keeps your machine running cooler and heat is the enemy of component life. I usually have it setup to increase clock speed on cpu load. I have never notice any speed difference between it and running at full speed all the time.

    eMachine T2895 Windows Install problem

    I am helping out my finacee's father with a eMachine T2895. Basically, it won't boot up properly any more. I ran Memtest on it and sure enough, the RAM was bad and I replaced it. The new RAM passes memtest and I thought everything was fixed. I then ran boot up windows XP and it hangs on...

    Core Duo and Pentium M benefit from matched pair RAM

    On an AMD system, your performance can improve quite a bit if you have a pair of matching RAM (say 2x256, 2x512, etc). Is the same situation also true for Core Duo and Pentium M or Core2Duo for that matter? Paul

    Does Socket S1 Sempron draw less power?

    In the various review of Turion X2, the articles indicated that the two cores actually draw roughly the same amount of power as the single core Turion. They attribute this to the improvement in the cpu. This got me thinking if the socket S1 sempron draw less power than a dual core Turion x2, if...

    Swapping CPU in a Dell E1505

    Come on people, be civil. You can disagree without name calling :-) 64-bit may be around the corner (unless you have linux), but it's not here yet. The biggest problem appears to be drivers, even for Linux. May be when Vista comes out, those problems may go away. I doubt that 64-bit will...

    Dlink DI-624 and Compaq W200 WPA issue

    Does anyone out there have a DI-624 and is using it with a Compaq W200 wireless? I can't seemed to get a WPA connection. Various post indicates that W200 has WPA with the latest driver, but I can't seemed to get it to work. Thanks. Paul

    Dignosing a possible power problem

    I hooked up the PSU on one of my computer to hers and the computer worked. This means it is a power supply. Google on the Bestec unit indicate a fairly high rate of failure (and that it often toast the motherboard). I am thinking of replacing my Antec unit with a Seasonic (to reduce noise)...

    What's Active PFC good for?

    I looked at various article on what active PFC is. Many of them talk about reduction of harmonics, or increase power factor. In layman's term, what does this feature do? Does it handle AC with dirty motor noise? Does it fix problems like a outlet with a bad ground ( a common problem for...

    Dignosing a possible power problem

    My mom's eMachine T-1221 seems to refuse to boot up. When it does boot up, it runs for a while before shutting down. I notice that the power supply fan is running, but sometimes the board doesn't even post. Do you think that this is a power suppy problem? In addition, does anyone know of a...

    Anyone have info on whether Merom is Core Duo socket compatible

    I notice that there is a rumor that Merom can plug right into a Core Duo socket and be compatible. I can't figure out how this would work though since: - I imagine that a BIOS upgrade is needed, but I doubt most notebook manufacturer would release bios upgrade for cpu. - Merom is supposed to...

    Gigabit network - how fast is it really

    I was using the Mega-bytes per second. Not sure where the bottleneck is (probably the cpu or may be the software using small frame size), but you definitely do not get close the the max. Paul

    Gigabit network - how fast is it really

    I checked with a friend who upgraded his network. He said copying a file was around 9-10 Mps on a 100 network and around 20 Mps on a gigabit. He considered the performance to be terrible. I think modern hard drives are at around 50 Mps. Paul

    Gigabit network - how fast is it really

    Differences in performance between different HD

    From what I tell from the charts, many of the hard drives seemed to have pretty much the same performance. Granted a 7200 rpm drive is much faster than a 5400 and a 10K Raptor is probably faster than a 7200. Performances difference between drives of the same class is often less than 10%. Is this...

    DVD Media durability and compatibility

    I have been thinking of using the DVD of either single or dual layer for backup. However, how durable is the media and how compatible is a DVD burned in one player and is then played in another? I did recall my disappointment with a lot of the CD-R. They were suppose to be stable, but a lot...
