    Pirating XP home edition

    I've been to Hong Kong and they openly sell pirated versions of both Home & Pro XP. And I'm not talking about some dodgy looking hawker in a side alley, they sell pirated software in their computer malls. I still don't understand how they can pirate XP home & pro, if you can only activate the...

    How can they sell pirate Win XP copies in Hong Kong?

    I've just been in Hong Kong and visited a few computer shops there. They openly and blatantly sell pirated copies of just about any software or games you want, for a couple of bucks. Beats me how they get away with this. They are selling Win XP copies, and I was just wondering how they can do...

    Can I do a fresh install with an XP Upgrade disk

    I want to buy XP upgrade, but also want to reformat my hard drive and install XP fresh. Can I do this using only the upgrade disks (and inserting my old Win ME disk at some stage to let Microsoft I have an earlier version) or do I first have to install an old version of windows and then upgrade...

    Why is my new Dell Inspiron 4000 a real slow dog?

    I have had my new Inspiron 4000 for a couple of weeks now. It is a P111 850, 128 MB RAM, and 8 MB ATI video chip. It was supposed to replace my old desktop, which was only a P111 450, 64 MB RAM, and TNT2 graphics card. On paper, the dell looks so much better, but in reality my dektop performs...

    Can I stop Win 2000 from 'Preparing Network Connections' at boot up?

    Too many abbreviations for me to understand. I just want it to stop from trying to establish network connections at start up. I only want it to do so when I actually want to connect to the internet, otherwise it is just a waste of time and slows down things.

    I've just purchased a brand new Sony 21 inch monitor, and need a little advice in setting up the screen. When I look at horizontal lines, such as the top and bottom borders of windows, they always seem to be convex. By this what I mean is that they seem to bend in the middle towards the top...

    How important is video clock frequency in selecting a monitor?

    I am looking to purchase either a 19 or 21 inch monitor, and for some reason seem drawn to the Mitsubishi's. The only thing I have noticed is that they have a much smaller clock frequency than competitors. For example, the 900u is 150mhz, compared to 230mhz for the Sony G400 and 300mhz for the...

    Anybody using the new Gigabyte i815E mobob

    I think they all are capable of it, but no, my CUSL2 only has the onboard video option actually build in. I have seen the CUSL2-M, a mini ATX version of the same mobo, and it does also have the onboard sound (Creative 128). For some reason Asus did not include the onboard sound in the regular...

    I've only got an Onkyo stereo system, and it does not work. Pity I can't test it out on other stereo systems right at this moment, as now you've got me wondering if it is my disk or the stereo. Has anybody ever had success using a CD-RW in an Onkyo stereo? I'm going to try burning now to a...

    Just burned my first Audio CD ever in my new Plextor using the image method. I used the supplied CD-RW disk in case I stuffed up. The result works great using my computer CD-ROM player, but does not work on the CD Player on my stereo system. I was just wondering if the problem is because they...

    Need more info about BX and 133 mhz. Any one using 2theMAX BX7+ mobob?

    When they say that BX can now support 133 mhz, I know this means that I can use a 100 mhz PIII and overclock it to 133 mhz. But does it also mean that I will have no problems installing and running a PIII 133mhz CPU. This is probably obvious and I can guess the answer, but just need to clarify...
