    Help with formatting and legitimizing Win XP

    Same circumstances with me, more or less. I was suprised to learn that upon installing the XP Home Upgrade over the illegitimate XP Pro Corp, that proving my upgrade path never came up. I kept waiting.. worrying that my old 98 CD might not be recognized.. But it never happened. So, those who...

    Windows boot error

    I was unaware that a reinstall of windows XP over a previous version would delete data files in the My Documents folders. In the event you are right about that, why not use a boot disk, then copy all needed files to another folder. Then proceed with an install over the previous one. I've...

    Windows XP Pro restarting with system date change

    I don't think you're going to get a definitive answer. IMO, you'll have to troubleshoot your own system and learn to do some things you might haven't previously attempted. Something in the load process is causing your problems. Since you mentioned the router, I would first disconnect all...

    I overclocked a Pentium from 75mhz to 100mhz which was a very popular overclock in that time. I think I had to move jumpers to change the FSB..

    Before asking "how is this build"....

    The majority of those posters just want some stroking.. as if the online community is going to rally and cheer their build choices.. "Dude, that is the most awesome computer anybody has ever built.. how did you think of that"?

    Yes, definitely.. and don't let them mickey-mouse you.. You are entitled to a matched pair.. that's what you paid for. If it's Corsair, you shouldnt have any problems.

    DSL/Networking Advice Please

    Actually, you didn't pay real good attention to the thread. I only attempted to use the older ethernet card in place of the onboard NIC.. I have NEVER had both the onboard NIC (without disabling in the Bios) and the Add-in card installed together. Further, my software is not a mess. I pride...

    DSL/Networking Advice Please

    I've not fixed my problem but I just talked to the SBC tech confirming our appointment. When I told him of my new build, new NIC, etc.. he suggested that I go into the advanced configuration of my NIC in device manager, and drop my link speed to 10-Half Mode... He says more than half of the...

    DSL/Networking Advice Please

    Yes, but Im not using the router in my current setup.. I'll get to that later. The problem is the sync or lack of it.. Without that, I can't get any further. I wonder why RasPPOE or the old SBC software can't see my onboard nic... It's installed. Device manager notes no problems.. and the...

    DSL/Networking Advice Please

    Yeah.. it's been done a couple times now. SBC had me power everything down, take all the wires off.. and hook it back up. Flashing light. No sync.. Even as a novice, it seems my problem is with the wiring, modem, or onboard nic. I'm just concerned the SBC guy is going to tell me just what you...

    Thanks for responding.. The router is not presently in the setup. Its just modem to computer. I havent actually installed any software.. It can't be installed properly as it doesn't see a NIC to attach itself to.. I tried alot of things... as people do who don't know what they are really doing...

    I'm a novice in networking issues... Ive had a long DSL setup with SBC. I installed it simply with their setup kit by following directions.. First, I had an Alcatel Stingray.. Then, because I wanted to set up a small wireless network, I changed to a Speed Touch Home.. purchased an SMC router...

    Just Starting My First Build - Problem with Case (Antec SLK3000B)

    Yes, that's what I gather.. but that's why I'm a newbie at building. Those of us without experience just try to follow directions.. If the motherboard calls for 8, we want to put in 8. Later on when we understand the build better, we might not think it too critical to have all the standoffs.

    Dell or Gateway or...

    Definitely Dell.. I've bought many of their computers for work and friends..Their service can be ugly though.. If you know your way around the computer, its Dell. If you need an email address of a Dell rep that actually speaks and understands English, and will do something about your problems...

    Double Check My Build? Last Time!!

    I think a Via board is fine.. they're passively cooled and very stable. But I think you might consider another brand. Soltek has a stable Via board, Abit's board looks very good too.. but the Asus Via board got horrid reviews. If you research anandtech's forums here, you will see some very...

    Is My Board Dead? - Bios Codes Read

    Is My Board Dead? - Bios Codes Read

    See some improvement - though minor, in my problems. Reseated the memory again, using 3-4, instead of 1-2. The CF error has disappeared. now it's C1 C1 04 - and back to C1 04, then stop... as if it begins to post, then stops, reboots and posts the same codes again, then comes to rest on 04.

    Is My Board Dead? - Bios Codes Read

    C1 is a memory test. Im not sure what 04 is. CF- test cmos r/w functionality. Thats where the boot stops - on the CF code. Presumably, if it passes the read/write function test, it continues to post and I would get a video signal to my monitor.. but that doesnt occur. Fans still spin.. but...

    Just Starting My First Build - Problem with Case (Antec SLK3000B)

    I found a couple of screws.. The I/O plate that Antec included with their case used the same screw thread - a shorter screw, but close enough. It works. Thanks for your suggestion..

    Just Starting My First Build - Problem with Case (Antec SLK3000B)

    Just got my last parts, all ready to do my first build.. Studied quite a bit.. Just starting and I notice Antec didnt give me enough screws to fit the standoffs. The Abit AX8 takes 9 - I got 7. I'm really frustrated about it.. I said, Ok, Ill go get some. Went to Ace Hardware, Orchard Hardware...

    Sloooow boot times.

    Those problems are usually resolved with the help of bootlog.txt.. a file in your root directory. This log will disclose to you everything that is loading.. and everything that is failing to load. There is a common executable file used in conjunction with that bootlog.txt which makes the...

    The AOpen 1648/aap pro. $25 bucks retail - with 3 different faces. Some solid testing/benchmarks done on the CDRinfo site, by Gabe, under the heading; "My little DVD-Rom-Roundup." I would have linked it, but Im not sure of the rules here where it regards linking to other sites.

    Newbie Build Questions

    Yeah, well.. but that's not the system I wanted. I'm not building a "value system", but rather, a quiet system with the components I chose. That Chaintech you have listed won't be suitable.. and some of those 6800GT's are extremely loud - or so they say. Ive got two hard drives and two optical...

    Newbie Build Questions

    Worry not, the plugs will only fit things they're supposed to go into mostly. White molex plugs (4 male or 4 female) for power, 2 for the motherboard, some for fans... The most ocmplicated is the motherboard and case wiring for the front panel, like on off sound and all that, those are soooo...
