    Please help troubleshoot CD-ROM problem

    Beginning yesterday, neither of my CD drives will recognize any CD (CD-ROM, audio, CD-RW) except right after the computer is re-booted. However, if I eject the CD and then re-insert it, it is not recognized - Dbl-clicking the drive letter in My Computer shows an empty drive. I have removed and...

    OK, my brother insists he can kick my @ss online at any flight combat sim. Which one though?

    Thermaltake Volcano+ Hell

    Since the heatsink is an inert chunk of metal I doubt this to be the case. Unless you have some grossly incorrect mounting problem. Perhaps just get a professional to do it for you next time.

    Going from 8500 to 9800. Do I have to re-install drivers?

    I am currently using Cat 3.4's. Can I just shutdown the PC, swap the cards and go? Or do I have to re-install drivers?

    A question about a MAXTOR RMA / Replacement Hard Drive

    I was impressed with Maxtor's RMA process. I did the advance RMA, got the new one and sent back the old one in the same box.

    Router, switch, hub, firewall. What do I need?

    Thanks for the info. So what I gather is that a router does nothing to stop outbound traffic so I would want to stay with ZoneAlarm anyway. Is the inbound protection of a router superior to the inbound protection of ZoneAlarm? What exactly would I gain by adding a router to what I have now?

    Router, switch, hub, firewall. What do I need?

    Can someone guide me to a clear information source regarding the above items. As in what do they do and what the differences are. I have a single computer with a cable modem and have been using ZoneAlarm for a few years. I would like to use a hardware replacement (if possible) to free up the...

    Viewsonic's P95f+ thoughts??

    I noticed some patchy blurriness as well when I first set mine up. It seems to have all but disappeared now. For gaming this monitor is great. Very bright, very rich color.

    How do you switch the OS order in the dual boot menu?

    I have XP and 98SE set up for dual boot. When I first set this up the boot menu showed Windows XP Professional first and Windows second. Somehow they have become switched so that I have to arrow down to select Win XP. How do I reset the order in the menu so that XP will boot by default when the...

    Maxtor DiamondMax D740X "Silent" is driving me insane, I can't sleep!

    I know exactly what you mean! I have the 60GB version and it too emits a high pitched whine that is driving me crazy. I didn't really notice it until I got serious about replacing my fans and PSU to reduce the noise. In terms of volume, it's not that loud. But the frequency makes it bore right...

    Anybody gone fanless on a Radeon 8500?

    Wow. Some interesting stuff here. Those Zalman units look very cool but also cost $65 + shipping here in Canada. My fan is bugging me, but not $65 worth! Insane3D, how do you have that Alpha attached to the GPU on your R8500?

    Anybody gone fanless on a Radeon 8500?

    In my quest to quiet my machine I've discovered that the fan on my Radeon 8500 isn't overly loud but it creates a high frequency whine that is driving me nuts. What can I do to get rid of the fan? Is that even feasible? Upon searching, I read someone recommended installing a PII heatsink. Would...

    Is it true that I can't boot from drive letter E: or higher?

    Thanks everyone. That's what I thought. I got the problem solved by using Nero correctly to burn the boot CD.

    Is it true that I can't boot from drive letter E: or higher?

    I had downloaded a bootable CD to use for BIOS flashing but my two CD drives are E: and F: Can I boot from a CD in these drives? So far I don't seem to be able to. When my computer POSTS I choose Boot Menu, select my CDrw drive, it searches for a boot record, then goes right to my C: drive and...

    The Awakening, Quest of Quiet PC

    I just replaced my AOpen300 PSU with an Antec TruePower430, replaced my stock XP1700 hsf with an XP2400/ SLK800 and a Panaflo 80mm, replaced my one intake fan with a Vantec Stealth and added a Vantec Stealth exhaust fan. Subjectively, it sounds about half as loud as before. However, I had no...

    Is my CDROM the problem?

    DMA is checked. I'm not sure it's the drive because I get the same thing trying to install from my Lite-on CDRW (DMA is also checked). I've had this drive for about 3 years and it used to install games fine. I can't be sure but I think this problem is happening since I installed the K7S5A about...

    Is my CDROM the problem?

    I just waited for 50 minutes for MOHAA:Spearhead to install. Every game I install takes forever. I have a 40X CD, XP1700 on a ECS K7S5A. Everything works fine with playing audio CD's, etc. but this game installing is driving me crazy. What could be the cause of this?

    Not impressed with the Viewsonic P95f+...

    I got a P95f+ about 3 weeks ago and was quite disappointed at first. It had these zones where text would appear blurry and the colors seemed washed out. After running it for about 2 days all the blurriness was gone and after adjusting the brightness (it came set at max) and purity I am very...

    Speaker/soundcard upgrade question

    I currently have an old SB Live Value with Altec Lansing ACS45 2.1 speakers. I consider the sound to be good but would like to upgrade to a surround set-up. I mostly use the comp for games and the odd MP3. I do not watch DVD's on my computer. Should I just keep the Sb Live and get some decent...

    Why do games take forever to install?

    Thanks for the suggestions. I tried the CD's on another computer and they loaded much quicker so I think I can rule out bad CD's. On Primary I have a Maxtor 60GB as master and a Maxtor 10GB as slave. On secondary, I have a LiteOn 161040 CDRW as master and Acer 40x CDROM as slave. How do I...

    Why do games take forever to install?

    I just installed MOH:AA and Ghost Recon and both took forever to install. MOH:AA took almost a full hour! I haven't installed new games for a while but that can't be right, can it? My cdrom is a 40X and my comp is a XP1700 with an UDMA hard drive. I don't notice any slowdowns while playing the...

    Are you sure it locked up? For some strange reason this game took almost an hour to install for me! At first I thought it had locked up and re-booted, the second time I waited and sure enough it continued. I have no idea why it took so long. Could it have something to do with the internet access...

    MOHAA crashing with Radeon 8500/Epox 8KHA+

    I read somewhere that mohaa tries to connect to the internet even during offline play. Whether that's true or not I don't know. What I do know is that I cannot play mohaa until I shutdown ZoneAlarm first.
