I don't know if this is even the right forum, but I am looking for a way to do a checkpoint/restart on a windows PC. I haven't found a utility to do this but most of the code is in windows in the hibernate function. I need to be able to periodically save the entire PC state for possible later...
Is there a utility that would allow a Win98SE system state including running applications to be "saved" either manually or every x minutes? Sort of like hibernate but without shutting the system down. The purpose would be to return to a known state after a crash without having to rerun...
I bought a V6800 Deluxe awhile back and tried to use the capture for the 1st time and nada. It just records black. Has the correct ASUS drivers and latest ASUS Live (capture) software. The MB is an ASUS K7V @750. I hit the ASUS site, but it is absolutely worthless; a knowledge base and forum...
Hi, The monitor worked great for a while despite the banged up box (courtesy of UPS) it came in, but today it suddenly went real fuzzy and what had been black was now medium grey. Plus the image no longer fit the physical screen. I hooked up another monitor and it was fine, so I knew the problem...
This is the same refurbished monitor that was at Buy.com awhile back for less and with free shipping, Buy.com was initially listing it as a Viewsonic (because Viewsonic bought out Nokia, although long after these were manufactured). I got one and the screen was covered with scratches that...
Nutzo, et al: All the shipment notices say all drives ordered were shipped. Unfortunately they actually only ship/bill one. I think that is why some people reported they were getting all the drives they ordered. I ask that anyone who physically has more than one drive from a single order, please...
Peetoeng, I started using ShopSafe right after I ordered my Iomega and was wondering if anyone was going to have this problem. I can see why MBNA would not admit any fault, because they didn't do anything wrong. The same thing could have happened even without ShopSafe, but its just less likely...
FWIW: I received only one of the drives I ordered, but interestingly it had one of those B&M anti-theft devices stuck to the package. Probably to keep anyone from stealing it off the delivery truck. You don't think they lied to us when they said the on-line and B&M are TOTALLY separate...
RoboticCastro asks if two different drives with the same model designation is asking for trouble. Obviously not a SoundBlaster customer ;-) SB routinely sells 5 or more totally different cards with the exact same name. And yes its a huge problem because you have to pull the card and decode all...
Be nice to SinMen. The forum can use the comic relief.
<< Honestly, who would need 3 of the same CD writer? I had 6 PC in my house and 4 CD writers... >>
- SinMen
Picture SinMen walking up to the counter (if he didn't have CD-RW drives yet) and saying: "I have 6 PCs but only 4 have...
Nutzo has a right to be upset about only getting one when he ordered four. I think the only reason there isn't more sympathy is because some Andandtecher's didn't even get one because they didn't order online or get to a store before they were gone. But remember, the rebate is limited to 10 per...
Slash3, my personal oppinion is that many of us will never see our drives, but until CompUSA says its official, it might not be a good idea to sick the dogs on them. If their lawyers get involved, it will only make things worse. Once its official we don't get our drives, I say nuke 'em.
Someone started another thread saying CompUSA has them in stock for order at $279 and thay they told us that ALL orders would ship by Feb 1.
Some people have already reported they only received one of two they ordered and were told that MAYBE the other would come later. Still other Anadtechers...
StumbleBum1, Is that the same CSR that sid there were only 27 backordered a few weeks ago? We can't trust what they say.
Some people have already reported they only received one of two they ordered and were told that MAYBE the other would come later. Still other Anadtechers reported receiving...
Righthere, I mentioned this before but should have put a link in. You can check the status of any CompUSA order at: CompUSA order status The status won't tell who placed the order, what was ordered or where it was shipped, but it will show the status. It would be nice if people who receive...
The rebate forms at the CompUSA stores say:
<< Offer good on purchases made between December 30, 2000 and March 31, 2001. Mail-in requests must be received by April 30, 2001. >>
There is nothing else date related on the form.
Should be no problem. I expect this form will come with our...
The SKU is just a number assigned by the merchant to manage their stock. It may not be on the box at all or be on a sticker printed by the store, That sticker may or may not include a barcode.
Its unusual for a rebate to require an SKU to be removed from a box. Almost all rebates require you to...
When your order is filled, please post your order number in this thread? CompUSA has an order status page that does not show who the order is for, just the status. Since they are filling the orders out of sequence and may end up cancelling some people's orders, it would be good ammunition to be...
Feb,
re: Staples coupons and Amex price guarantee, Has that ever happened to you? Your receipt will show that you paid the full price for the item you want the price protection on. If you've really been turned down because the total CC charge is less than the price at another merchant all you...
And I didn't see anybody mention yet that the laptops come with no memory ;-) Probably takes a proprietary memory they make themselves and price at $500/MB.
Since NECx could be listed under some other name, why not ask them if they are a participant? Also, I don't think NECx should get a bad rap unless they said there was a rebate if you bought from them.
Raju420, what is the connection with specialty paper? I think people are asking for a link, is so they can get ALL the details. Any offer always has tons of fine print that may or may not be relavent. Plus, you could just be a shill for the Post Office trying to drum up business by getting...
My son races Grand Prix 3 professionally (check: Joshua's current standing. I need to record races and other sessions for analysis. I think what I need is an SVGA to NTSC converter, but there are a lot and the price varies a LOT. What's a good one and where can I get it cheap? It needs to be...
Hey Lungster, don't dis Egghead. I read they know for a fact none of the credit card numbers were stolen. They checked each number by hand and all of them were still in their server.
dcdomain, before you scrap the 1220, I though the same about my 1600U but found out a later model driver would actually work in Win2K for that model. It seems that part of Astra's planned obsolesence is to not let customers know there are working drivers. I'mnot saying there is a driver that...
On second thought Groch, you must be right because everything else about OD is messed up. For instance, I hit their web site to find the closest store and they listed NONE in Phoenix area. FYI: there are at least 6 in the area.
Groch, you may be right, but it doesn't make any sense at all to have higher prices at the stores that are going out of business than the ones remaining. The whole point is to empty the stores that are closing down.
Found SKU 584831 at local OD. Still $49.95. Same deal with the Linksys stuff from another post. For some reason, some closing ODs aren't marking them down. I even had them check the price and confirm
FYI: Not being marked down in Phoenix. I had to laugh though; they had going out of business signs up but still had to add the word "temporary" to their help wanted sign.
I need to record what is being displayed on the monitor. The system is a K7V @750 with an Asus V6800. The video card has S-video out but not concurrent with the monitor. I prefer a solution that does not put much more load on the system.
Update: I don't want snapshots. My son races Grand Prix 3...

I've seen several requests for a post of a CompUSA receipt to be used to convince CompUSA managers that, yes, pricematching has been done. Still no post. Was that just an urban legend ;-)
rcraig, IMHO a 636U for $50 is a lot better deal. For reference, a photograph is approx 200 dpi. Since the dots in the source won't line up with the dots of the scanner, a 1200 scanner will do a better job but not by much. More color depth is good but you'll only get 24 bit from the scanner to...
