    Belkin N300 Router - constant notification of internet connection lost

    Thanks for the advice. Yeah, noted that enthusiasts don't tend to use Belkin, but in all honesty, apart from Linksys, nearly every router manufacturer gets negative reviews. And I thought I'd give the Belkin a shot as I got it quite cheap and I've a few friends who had no problems with it. The...

    Belkin N300 Router - constant notification of internet connection lost

    Requesting some guidance on a networking / router problem. I have been using a Belkin N300 router for 6+ months with no issues. About 3 months ago, my ISP upgraded the ADSL broadband package to a fibre optic to home solution - the upgrade went smoothly and I have not had any issues until...

    Need help on lag of 5+ minutes to POST on PC power up

    I think it is a hardware issue since I don't get post for quite a few minutes and monitor does even power on from standby. Actually doubt it is the PSU since the lights on the front panel of the case do go one (both red and green ones) - hard drives seem to be spinning too. Damn, anyway...

    Need help on lag of 5+ minutes to POST on PC power up

    Need some advice. Family member's PC is acting up. When powered on, the PC sometimes takes around 5 minutes to get to BIOS (and for monitor to power on), once that happens, Windows XP loads normally and PC acts normal. Since the lag is before the POST, I would tend to think the OS is ok -...

    Question about svchost.exe

    I did download the fix manually and ran it from my PC. Also downloaded and installed the new windows update agent, which is supposed to solve the issue. But it doesn't really work for me. After applying the fix, when I go to Windows Update, CPU still shoots up to 99% and doesn't manage to do...

    Question about svchost.exe

    Thanks for the heads up. Applied the patches / fixes by Microsoft - didn't make any difference. It seems the problem has to do with windows updates, and as far as I keep automatic updates turned off, svchost.exe does not mess with the CPU.

    IE and Firefox question

    Well, don't know about the technical issues, but I wasn't aware of ClearType till I installed IE 7. IE 7 enables ClearType by default I think, but this did not affect any other program. So I went back and investigated and then turned activated ClearType via Micosoft's web page.

    IE and Firefox question

    I think the issue at hand is IE 7 uses ClearType by default. It is developed by Microsoft to enhance viewing on LCD monitors. Fonts will look noticeably different. What you can do is either download the power tool or go to the web page to enable and tune ClearType for Windows XP. After this...
