No mouse acceleration in XP?

After installation of XP I got an upleasant surprise. My mouse cursor became very slow compared to Win2k. No problem, just increase acceleration. I went to Mouse applet in Control Panel, but much to my surprise, there was no acceleration slider there! I'm using Kensington Expert Mouse trackball...

19" CTX VL950 Monitor <$200 after PM and rebate!!!

IFAIK Sams Club is indeed a club, meaning you have to pay yearly membership. In either case, I'm pretty sure Staples and most other stores that do pricematching have a clause in their rules that they don't pricematch with clubs or other membership-supported stores. So places like Costco &amp...

BYE NOW - DELL 20% ENDS 7 AM CT - TODAY - FRIDAY

>> When you expect the sale should last then? Forever? Beside, Dell didn't trap anyone. Did you follow the deal at all? When you clicked on details for the 20% off in accessories store, it was clearly stated that the promo was supposed to last until 7/3/2001. This fact has been mentioned in...

Preorder Tyan T-bird MP board for $959 !!!!!

I don't care about CPU wars, both intet and amd are out to get our money. I just happen to like dual systems, and have been waiting for amd solutions as cheaper alternative. But with such outrageous pricing, I'll probably just get 2*1Ghz Pentium III.

Phillips 107E 17" monitor for $110 after rebate at Staples

I was at Staples 30 min ago. They were out of 107E, but had 107S for ~180. However, they(as well as myself) had no idea what this "instant store rebate of $80.00" was about. In rang its full price at checkout. What am I missing here?

Building a new system? Try the Antec SX830 OR SX1030 From Onvia. SX1030 in Beige or Black.

Today I received SX830 from onvia(it was a recommendation, not this thread) and just finished assembling my system. I have to say it was a pleasure to work with this case. I have Casedge LX734A, which ain't bad either, but this baby kicks some major ass. After all, it's "workstation&quot...

Refurbished Viewsonic 21" Monitor AG for $349 from buy.com ( be careful what model it is)

If you take the model # 445P259 from buy.com page, go to this nokia spec page: http://www.nokia-dp.cz/dp/mondata/445xi_specs_cz.html, and do a search for the model, you'll find the thing. So that's for sure Nokia 445Xi.

Best 19" monitor for text for <= $600?

I've read several very informative threads here and other places, but I'm still having problems deciding. Video card also seems to be important, but I have Matrox G400, which should be enough. I'm specifically and above all interested in superior text image and accurate 2D geometry, so I'd...

Disturbing noise from PS fan

About 3 days ago I started hearing a new rattling/chirring sound from my home-build machine with Casedge LX734A case. It would start randomly for ~5-7 min, then go away briefly, then start again etc. Moderately annoying. After looking carefully, I found that it's the fan in power supply that...

BP6 won't POST

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Shorting was what I didn't think about. Since nothing seemed to touch the mobo, I removed all 6 screws and it POSTed. I carefully put them back and assembled the rest of the system, and it works! Probably one of the screws was somehow shorting to the case. Thanks!

BP6 won't POST

Had a working BP6 + 2*366Celeron. Wanted to reassemble the system. Took everything apart(pretty carefully), put it back together. Wouldn't even POST. As I turn power on, it beeps, and turns off by itself. Removed all cards/drives, left only video(Matrox G400 AGP) - same result. Tried another...
