Boot up problems, sort of....

I've got a little problem that I can't figure out. I run Win98 SE and everytime I turn on my computer, I get the boot menu telling me I didn't shut down properly and it asks me to choose which boot method I want: Normal, Safe Mode, Commmand Prompt, etc. The problem is, I did shut down...

Help with a laptop...

They have drivers, but they are the wrong ones. He's still running Windows 95, so the card is only recognized as new hardware without giving me a model# or name. I checked the link you provided, but they only have drivers for their newest models and this laptop is pretty old. Joe Wells

I'm fixing a Compaq computer for a customer and they have an ESS 1938S onboard sound card installed. I need to get the driver files for it but ESS's site is down and Compaq doesn't even list this card as the card that came with the system. So I'm screwed until I can find a site that has these...

Difference in 'Dimm Type'...

I was over at Crucial.com looking at some of the lastest memory prices and seeing if I wanted to upgrade and I noticed that they have 2 different DIMM Types for each memory simm. For instance, they have two different listings for PC 133 memory to fit my board. The only difference between them...

APG Arperature Size question....

Yep that's me, but I wouldn't exactly call me a famous course designer. My courses aren't that good. I'm hoping to do better with my Cypress Point attempt though and I'm about half way through it. So far I give it a thumbs up. Joe Wells

DirectX 8 and Detonator drivers...

Probably been asked a million times already, but I must have missed it somewhere. Do the new beta Detonator drivers (7.17) have support for DX8? Reason I ask is that I've been having some odd lockup problems lately that began once I installed DX8. I was thinking it may be some kind of driver...

Max Blast software and your Hard Drive...

Hey guys, thanks for the info. I have all new stuff so I guess I didn't really need to use the MaxBlast software, but it was so simple to use that I figured what the heck. Didn't know it could cause problems. But I have no problem using fdisk to setup a drive so the next time I have to, I'll...

Max Blast software and your Hard Drive...

Thanks Ulysses...

As per your advice, I reset the HCF on my processor and now the bios temperature reading is normal again. I just hope I didn't do any permanent damage to the chip. As far as I can tell, my system is still running fine. I tried out a few of the more demanding programs and games I have and they...
