Anyone ever try this free backup program? http://www.runtime.org/dixml.htm Bozo :joker:

It's available on my ICH8 motherboard and is an option in the drives section of the BIOS. No mention of it in the USB section. Bozo :joker:

In the 12+ years I have been building computers, I have bought 1 AOpen (AX6B?) motherboard (that is still running) and 1 ASUS motherboard (which I plan on setting on fire) all the rest were Intel or Supermicro. The new Gigabyte motherboard will have to meet some pretty high standards...

Ordered my first Gigabyte motherboard today. A 'GA-P35C-DS3R'. Should be here in a few days. Bozo :joker:

Doesn't Hibachi make grills??? :-D Bozo :joker:

Tweak Guides has been banned where I work. Stupid Bozo :joker:

Make sure the painting is done before the beer and pizza :-D Bozo :joker:

Someone actually reads his post??? Bozo :joker:

Agreed. I guess we all need to be a little more tolerant. Bozo :joker:

My general rules of thumb: (for work, mixed company, forums, etc) Don't discuss politics Don't discuss religion Don't discuss nuclear power (I'm not too far from 3 Mile Island) Don't discuss gun control Bozo :joker:

I know some 'special needs' kids that would love to have a computer. If you have any left after sending them to Paugie, I'll take a couple. Bozo :joker:

XP supports bridging. Bozo :joker:

AdAware 2007 Free is avaailable. Be sure to uninstall any old versions before installing the new. http://www.lavasoftusa.com/products/ad_aware_free.php Bozo :joker:

There is an updated install files on MS's site. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=889482FC-5F56-4A38-B838-DE776FD4138C&displaylang=en Bozo :joker:

Have you tried here: http://www.themarrowfoundation.org/ Bozo :joker:

From my senior memory: Go to control panel, change it to classic style. In the programs folder, if you right click on the program to be removed, you will see the 'remove' instruction. I think. Bozo :joker:

Is this a single drive on the RAID controller or is it RAID 0,1, or 5?? If it is a single drive, go into the BIOS and turn off the RAID controller. It should revert to a standard IDE contoller then. Posibly the computer will boot then. Bozo :joker:

It will still work. Use Drive Image or Acronis. I have never used Ghost. Drive Image doesn't seem to care where you reinstall, as long as the OS has the drivers installed first. In this case they should be as the OS is booting from the array already. Bozo :joker:

Do a backup of the entire system. Change the hardware from RAID5 to RAID 10. Reinstall the software. The drivers for the RAID card are already installed, so it should reinstall without issues. (the drivers don't know if it is RAID 0, 1, 4, 5, 10 or whatever.) Bozo :joker:

The reason I sugested a power supply was that I had a motherboard that would not boot with an Antec Neo power supply. It works fine with anything else. Bozo :joker:

I've replaced more Seagates than WDs, percentage wise. I have not replaced any IBM/Hitachi hard drives because of failures. (even my 75GXPs are still running) The 8 Maxtors I installed 5+ years ago are still running. All of the above hard drives run 24/7/365. Bozo :joker:

Digging through the HOST file web site, I found a batch file that renames the host file. Then it becomes inactive. Run the batch file a second time and it renames it back to HOST. Works like a champ. I found the host file 'fix' very effective in Firefox too. Bozo :joker:

I have been downloading and installing a modified HOST file from http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm for some time now. It has always worked great. But, last week I got some e-mails from Intel that contained some links to tech support. None of the links worked. Intel resent the e-mail...

As much I hate Dells, I must give them credit for making decent laptops. We use their laptops at worK. These laptops are used by 10-15 different people, are thrown on the back of work carts (think heavy duty golf carts), left laying in an industrial envirnment, and in general man-handled every...

Try a different power supply. Bozo :joker:

Yech...it's an ASUS. ASUS sucks donkey balls. Bozo :joker:

System: Intel DG965SSCK (G965 chipset) Core 2 Duo 6320 1066 FSB Kingston KVR800D2N5K2 DDR2 800 The processor runs at 1066 FSB and the memory is running at 800 MHz according to CPU-Z Bozo :joker:

The swap file is over written by the current operating system. Bozo :joker:

I don't use system restore either. But during the Beta test there was a lot of dicussion about XP deleting Vista restore points. MS didn't fix the problem. This link describes a fix though...

Old computer with a 3Ware 2 port RAID card ($150.00??) sounds like the way to go. I wouldn't any computer hardware in the laundry. Too much humidity. Combine that with some of the laundry cleaners and you could have a lot of corrosion in the computer. Bozo :joker:

Don't know. I just Googled Smart information and they popped up. Bozo

If you use System Restore in XP, Vista will corrupt the files. Vista and XP use two different methods for System Restore, and they don't play nice together. Bozo :joker:

Been tyying to find the reason my computer won't boot with 4GB RAM installed. 2GB good. 3GB good. 4GB crap. Bozo :joker:

In the past year, I've lost more Seagates than WD. When you consider that I've installed 3 times as many WD's, that is not good. Bozo :joker:

Maybe that's because they need TrueImage. Bozo :joker:

I never went a class either. I found it rather easy assembling the PC. Getting all the parts to work together was a different story. IRQ jumpers...eeech. Bozo :joker:

4! And these are more reliable than......WD? Bozo :joker:

Carful how you talk about us old buggers :-D Bozo :joker:

Not in my testing of Vista. My old system [3.0GHz p4, 1 GB ram, Radeon 9800] was dog slow compared to XP on the same box. Aero wouldn't run, and UAC was one of the first things I turned off. On a clean install, a cold boot and after waithg a few minutes, the RAM usage was ~600Meg. This was with...

Never tried that. Bozo :joker:

In XP, if you look in the Windows directory, you will find a 'prefetch' folder that does about the same thing as Vista. It monitors your computer use and tries to preload what it thinks you will be using. A resource hog too. I usually disable it in the registry. Bozo :joker:

It is my understanding the 32Bit XP cannot handle more than 4GB of RAM is because it is 32Bit. The motherboard plays an important part of how much memory the sytem can handle too. Even with Server 2003 64Bit, I had a motherboard that didn't report all of the RAM correctly, so I was stuck at...

A quote from IT Pro" At this point, I was becoming aggravated. I knew that I had seen the error message before, but I couldn't recall exactly where. I determined that the next step was to check out the hardware and make sure that all the cables were attached to the drives. They were. To be on...
