    Ghost and hidden partitions

    When I bought my Dell laptop 4.5 years ago, I bought it with the smallest HD available, figuring I could always upgrade it in the future. I was thinking of finally doing that now (since I don't have room to install Diablo III). I long ago upgraded the RAM, and kept the original sticks just in...

    I'll look into that, thanks for the tip.

    Hit by rogue anti-virus trojan - help needed

    I was using Firefox 3.6. I suspect the page I accessed used a Flash exploit to infect me with nothing more than an inadvertant mouseover (no actual click on anything). Edited to add: Here's an interesting development. My Chrome browser has stopped working since getting this last bug. Looks...

    Hit by rogue anti-virus trojan - help needed

    Well, it appears MalwareBytes was able to remove it this time without any problems (unlike the first one I got). I've also reported the search result to Google (though they don't exactly make it easy). I'll have to check reviews of Microsoft Security Essentials. My company's IT swears by...

    Hit by rogue anti-virus trojan - help needed

    mechBgon, Thanks for your previous help. I took many of your suggestions, in particular doing most of my work using a guest account, and using Run As when needed. Unfortunately, I got hit AGAIN on my same laptop by another rogue anti-virus app, WHILE using the guest account. I really don't...

    Hit by rogue anti-virus trojan - help needed

    I'll check that out, mech, thanks! I ended up reimaging the laptop this morning (the system still froze up from the HD locking down, which kept sfc from completing) and spending the entire day (and evening) updating the OS, reinstalling software, drivers, etc. I can't say I really lost...

    Thanks, tcsenter, I'll try that. although the KB article you linked is for Vista/7, I found the related article for XP Pro, and it seems to be pretty much identical.

    Hit by rogue anti-virus trojan - help needed

    So today I suddenly started getting pop-ups on my laptop in Firefox, despite having pop-up blocking, AdBlockPlus, AVG, etc. (I suspect they were coming either from engadget.com, would surprise the hell out of me that they'd be the source, but the ad pop-ups did stop after closing their page -...

    Sad when your laptop is more powerful

    My current (built in 2003, I think) rig consists of: P4C (coppermine) 2.4 Ghz Abit IC7-G mobo (replaced NB fan countless times, eventually went passive when they discontinued the part) 2GB RAM (never could get it to run right with 4GB, but that may have been a mobo issue) XP Pro ATI...

    Dead ASUS mobo

    My GF's Core2 Duo PC is dead. The system gets power, but there is no POST whatsoever. Drives start up but do not process anything, screen is blank, fans spin, etc. At first, I thought the CPU was burned out (based on previous experience with these symptoms, it was my first assumption), but...

    Downgrade from 0ffice 2007 trial

    My GF's laptop came with probably the worst piece of bloatware ever - Microsoft Office 2007 Trial edition. The trial ended, of course, so she pulled out her full version of 2003 and tried to install it on her laptop. Even after uninstalling 2007, running the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility...

    Restoral images

    So, I've had to replace yet another HD and reinstall Windows. I'm tired of the installation process, even when using slipstreamed WinXP CD. My Dell laptop and my GF's Gateway laptop have built-in restoral partitions for reimaging the main partition when Windows gets corrupted. Even my...

    Attention System Builders

    Just a quick clarification, the issue was not that the boards don't support full 16x Crossfire, but that they can't support even 8x/8x crossfire because they lack a second full-sized PCI-E slot for a second video card at all. Just wanted to be sure nobody is confused and think they can still...

    Attention System Builders

    Either those links are bad, or your info is off in terms of them being Crossfire capable. Those boards all have single x16 slots. Got any updated recommendations for midranged mobos with dual x16 slots for running Crossfire/SLI?

    DD-WRT and OpenVPN

    DD-WRT and OpenVPN

    JackMDS, I think you misunderstood my post. I am not interested in any kind of Remote Control of a PC at home. I simply want to secure my wireless connection at work by tunneling to my network at home.

    DD-WRT and OpenVPN

    Here's my situation: My employer has an unsecured wi-fi network which is used by guests who visit the company for training. It is generally used by employees, as well, who bring their laptops to work. I've been warned that there is a good probability that at least one person in the...

    Uninstalling Nvidia drivers killed PC

    Well, after the Repair install didn't help, we reinstalled fresh on top of it, and everything worked. But, since she still has to reinstall her programs (due to their Registry entries being gone), she decided to wipe the drive completely with DBAN, anyway. She didn't want to just delete the...

    Uninstalling Nvidia drivers killed PC

    Yeah, actually we did that. Now she has no network connectivity, even after reinstalling her mobo drivers. Neither the built-in wireless, nor the two built-in ethernet adapters work. This is getting really frustrating. I've uninstalled the devices, reran Add New Hardware, and reinstalled the...

    Uninstalling Nvidia drivers killed PC

    My girlfriend wanted to upgrade her Nvidia 8800GTS video driver. After downloading the update, she went into Add/Remove Programs to uninstall the original driver. The options in Add/Remove Programs included "Nvidia Drivers" and "Nvidia Forceware." She selected "Nvidia Drivers." She had...

    Asus P5N32-SLI Premium/WiFi-AP Edition

    My GF built a new rig (well, actually, I built it, she just picked the parts she wanted), and we found that the SoundBlaster Audigy SE card she got does not have the proper connector on it for the front panel mic and headphone jacks. The riser card for this mobo's on-board sound (which is...

    EVGA 8800GTS 640MB Superclocked

    According to Newegg's specifications for the EVGA 8800GTS 640MB Superclocked videocard, it needs a "minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 26 Amps". I can't even find a PSU that has such a power output on any of its rails. The most I've seen are +12V at 18 Amps...

    Core 2 Duo on XP

    Super stupid question: XP Pro is required for multi-CPU support (and remote access, but that's not important), and XP Home only supports one CPU. So, does that mean a Core 2 Duo requires XP Pro, because the OS might construe it as being multi-CPU? Or does the fact that the two cores are on...

    Quiet water cooling?

    Ok, we've convinced her, silent air cooling is the way to go! (Which is what I've been telling her all this time, but that should be no surprise.) The Antec Nine Hundred case is getting good reviews for being very quiet (since all it's fans are large, slow-spinning fans, and have individual...

    Quiet water cooling?

    My girlfriend has unfortunately got it stuck in her head that she must have a water cooling setup in the rig she wants me to put together for her. She has always hated the noise of her current rig. (In fact, adding extra fans never seemed to do much for her case temps, it just increased the...

    Yet more NB cooler help needed

    Thanks for all the replies. I originally didn't consider thermal epoxy, since my Thermaltake cooler has a fan on it (though I hear it still works very well even without the fan turned on), and I would never permanently mount a fan-based cooler using epoxy. I have a Zalman ZM-NB47J which I...

    Yet more NB cooler help needed

    I recently replaced (for the third time) the NB cooler on my IC7-G mobo. When mounting the new cooler (Thermaltake Extreme Spirit II), one of the mounting loops broke off the board. (Poorly designed mounting method for this cooler makes it way too easy to overtighten the hooks.) Fortunately, the...

    North bridge fan died

    Here's an update, and not a good one. Lately, my rig has been getting slow while gaming, or not correctly burning a dvd (DL coasters are expensive, too!), so I peeked into my case and discovered that the retention loop my new NB cooler was connected to has broken away, and the cooler is more...

    North bridge fan died

    Well, after a trip to three different PC part stores, I ended up at my local Fry's, and came home with a Thermaltake Extreme Spirit II Northbridge Chipset Cooler (CL-C0034). I was disappointed that nobody had a passive cooler available, and I could have saved money ordering another from Newegg...

    North bridge fan died

    You must mean the ZM-NBF47. I wasn't aware that it had hooks. Maybe I'll order that one, next. :\ I'll also check the custom mount you linked.

    North bridge fan died

    Sure, that sounds safe. :confused: And if it falls apart and shorts out my rig? Any other suggestions? I don't think I'd trust thermal tape to hold this thing in place, either. Can hooks like the ones pictured here be found sold separately? I found the Thermalright HR-05, and it includes a...

    North bridge fan died

    Bloody hell, the Zalman arrived, and it doesn't have the fracking hook connectors I need to mount it to my motherboard. Damn it. I thought it was supposed to include both hooks and pushpins. Well, that's $10 down the drain. Any other recommendations?

    North bridge fan died

    I don't have my rig overclocked at all. My one attempt at overclocking (and it wasn't a very significant overclock) resulted in graphical artifacts, so I went back to stock specs. I'll probably order a ZALMAN ZM-NB47J or NBF 47 from Newegg. The NB47J looks like it would be easier to install...

    North bridge fan died

    The North Bridge fan on my ABit IC7-G mobo has died (again, this is like the fourth one to die on me), and ABit's website says the replacement fan is no longer available. I would like to go with a water-cooling setup at this point (to get away from replacing fans every 6-12 months), but I can't...

    USB trouble

    For some reason, I have the hardest time using USB devices when connecting them via a USB hub. They work fine when connected directly to my PC's USB ports, but communication fails fairly consistently when I use a hub, particularly for USB thumb drives. At first, I thought it was the hub I was...
