so far so good... It seems perfect fro my needs. A 5 person license on the "Pro" version which lets you share and synch the rest of outlook is $99. Eventually i'll get it. Thanks for the offer though man. Much appreciated!

Okay so normally I come on here once every month or two and beg for information which you guys are always kind enough to help me with. Today I come with some perhaps, helpfull information. As a small business owner money is tight and I have multiple work stations which I needed to be able to...

I think it gets down to this....the Honda while likely reliable is not REALLY a truck. It is designed to be used by guys who want a truck but really need a car. Sort of like the SUV craze. From what you describe of your friend It would seem to fit his needs okay. Some of the other arguments...

Okay so here it goes.... As I said I took the hard drive out ( a SATA unit) and put it into my other machine it has worked flawlessly to this point. My broken machin was one I built off of the reccomendations of folks on this sight as a workhorse machine. Processor: AMD Athalon AXDA2500DKV4D...

Thanks for the thoughts guys. I took the hard drive out of the offending machine and put it in as the second drive on my other machine. All my data is there and after about 9 straight hours of running its still doing fine and has not caused this machine to shut off. Granted it not the boot...

Okay...more info... The sound much to my dismay seems to in fact be coming from my hard drive. For reference it sounds a lot like the old dungeons and dragons PC games that you can now buy the whole collection of for .99 Think of the sound when your character died LOL My cpu temp was at 60...

Thanks for your insight Buck. I checked the event viewer in XP to see if maybe something was hitting a brick wall and registerring before it died but I dont see anything out of the ordinary....any chance this rules out the USB idea? I do have two USB printers and at least one is a 2.0 and I...

I have a computer that I built awhile ago which now seems to randomly shut off. First it makes a noise trough the PC speaker which reminds me of when I was young and playing with hotwheels. It sounds like a siren noise we would make. Either that or something from the Atari days. After a...

doh! obviously I missed this one :eekers: LOL I have been up to my eyebrows in my new business venture. Just got back from a week in Colorado...it got into the high 60s there during the day on occasion and we ended up getting into CT about 3:30 am last night after a 5 hour flight delay from...

Doug my weekends are free now so be sure to let me know of upcoming lan parties! :mrgrn:

Doug, I am usually asking questions rather then answerring them so this is especially exciting to me. I currently own an ati 9800 Pro card. When my machine was having issues I was pretty sure initially that my card may have been an issue. As it turned out it wasnt but it seems that it does...

Usually if it doesnt let you change your home page it is because it writes something in the registry. I Usually check the registry for entries matching the web page address exactly...then I delete them. I have never used firefox but I would assume its a file associaition thing. Has to be a...

Now Buck.... don't hold back! tell us how you really feel! :lol: As for the processor I just want this thing to be viable for a long time. I have always tried to buy the second to top range (or thereabouts) processor. A gig of ram is pretty standard for most decent machines and while I have...

That looks schweet! :o

Hey guys, I will be opening a business of my own around the February time frame which requires me to have a dedicated machine. After my fun time with RAM issues (compatability) in the gaming machine I just built I am trending towards buying a machine like a Dell / SONY etc. I need a...
