    Intermittent lock-up - Need Suggestions Please

    Haven't noticed any drive noises and I think all my drivers are up to date. I need to check with my USP and firewirel card mfgrs, but I have the latest M/S drivers (not that that means much). As for my P/S, it's a 350 watt unit that came with my case (maybe even 300w, I don't remember). It's a...

    XP & Removable Hard Drive

    I use removable hard drives for video storage. My main drive with O/S is never removed. When I change a drive and boot the PC up, I lose my desktop wallpaper. PC seems to run fine. Funny thing is, when I reboot the machine at later times (same drives in place, nothing removed), the old wallpaper...

    What causes this type of slowdown?

    MechBgone, Thank you for the suggestions. I will check out the peak commit charge when I work on graphics next. Also, this machine does not have an Anti-Virus package. My 200G drive only has 8% space avail, so maybe that's slowing me down some, and it turns out my main drive was fairly...

    What causes this type of slowdown?

    Guys, Lately I've been doing a bunch of graphics work on my home PC (for work). I am using Macromedia Fireworks. After some time my PC gets slower and slower. It never locks up or anything, but I should have plenty of HP to cruise through the graphics I'm working on. I've noticed in general...

    3 default monitors in Device Mgr. Is this normal?

    Hi all. I notice I have 3 default monitors showing up under "monitors" in device manager, plus the monitor that's actually hooked up to my PC [Samsung LCD]. Is this normal? If I try to delete the monitors, they come back after rebooting. Before I noticed this, I downloaded the latest nvidea...

    MS Natural Keyboards really better for the wrists?

    They're the ONLY way to go IMHO. I've been using one for years and wouldn't switch back. I had my work buy me a new keyboard because I couldn't stand the standard dell keyboard.

    Shall I buy power or not?

    Yep, I agree, you can get a MUCH nicer looking case if you build your own. BTW, there's no mystery to loading an OS, you just stick the disk in, and put in the registeration key numbers. There is a little configuration, here and there afterwards if you want to customize the look, but it's kinda...

    The best motherboard ever created?

    My favorite is the FIC VA503+ motherboard. I started out with a 233 and EDO RAM and eventually got up to a K6-III+ 450 which I'm still running on my aux. machine @ 550 mhz w/250 mhz SDRAM and 100 mhz bus. A good solid board and very upgradable.

    LCD monitor questions - need your help..

    I found out that Samsung's warranty will only cover 25 dead pixels per square inch. So, if I had a few dead pixels spread over the screen it wouldn't be covered. Backlight isn't covered. I sprung for the $49 warranty anyway. I includes free repair/replacement if there are 3 dead pixels per...

    LCD monitor questions - need your help..

    Hi, My wife bought me a new 17" LCD Samsung 171v display for my birthday. So far so good. It comes with a 3 year warranty. I know many companies only replace when there are several dead pixels. My question is, should I spring for the performance warranty? What does a dead pixel look like? How...

    This is wierd - funky modem question...

    Thanks for the tips, Yep, same ISP, same phone line, even same modem in two cases. I thought by updating to Win98SE might help solve the problem. Different modems didn't make any difference either. Still gets on at 28.8. Not all modems were plugged in the same socket. Two were ISA, one was...

    This is wierd - funky modem question...

    Actually what I am basically saying is that on my line here at my house, my PC always gets on fast (for a modem), but my folks computer gets on slow even on my line, even if I install two modems from my PC that in my computer connect fast. So, it's something to do with their PC. Are there any...

    This is wierd - funky modem question...

    The thing is, I take the modem back out, stick it in my PC and bingo, I'm back on at 46K-51K. Seems wierd that all the modems that work fine in my other PCs don't work well in this machine. It was slow in win 95, and now in win 98se. It's set for 57K at the control panel. What in this machine...

    What is the best way to get reasonablly cheap internet access for travelers (inside the US)? My aunt/uncle travel about 1/2 the year in an RV.

    Will this ATA 100 device run at 133?? Help please

    Hi, I just received a removable hard drive rack that I bought from Ebay. It was advertised to operate at ATA133 max. But, the box only says ata 66/100. He says it WILL run at 133 speed ....that the cabling is the only difference between 100 and 133. I thought cabling (80 conductor) was the...

    Digital camcorder suggestions?

    Definitely go with Mini DV, especially if you want to do desktop video editing down the road. You're better off buying the best camera you can afford. Plan on spending about $850. Seriously, if you get something less, you'll get poorer video and fewer options. I bought a cheap video camera...

    Need Sound Card Advice... Hercules Fortissimo III a good choice?

    I hear that's a good card but no first-hand experience. But FWIW, you can buy a brand new Philips Seismic Edge off Ebay for about $25 shipped. I think they're great cards. That's where I got mine. Good luck,

    First computer upgrade - please help out a semi-newb

    I'd probably go for a 128mb ddr ram Ti4200 sound card, new sound card (Philips Seismic Edge - $25 on Ebay) and different CDRW. If you don't use your CDRW much, you can use yours. But you can buy a fast Liteon CDRW for about $60-70 that will really save you time and headaches burning CD's. Does...

    USB Flash Storage Pens, any good?

    Yep, I agree, they work great! I've got a 64 megabyte pen drive that I use to transfer files from my work high-speed access to home. They're not sensitive to static like one would think (at least that's what I've read) and ok if you drop them. I bought an EZ-drive from www.mypcmax.com Quick...
