We use sharepoint for file and note archiving. Works well enough that we got rid of our other methods, like FTP and mapped drive. We only had the FTP as a read only so had to use the mapped drive to write, which was so slow it really sucked over the VPN. We outgrew the mapped drive anyway and...

I know nothing of this sort of "net nanny" parental monitoring/limiting software but I can't figure that it will catch everything. I would suggest teaching parental involvement instead of having them look for software that will watch the kid instead of them doing what they should be doing. Set...

I do remember seeing the CR2032 quite often in computers. I also work with a lot of PLC's for building management and I think they have a soldered in CR2062. At any rate I have only had one failure of this battery type in my PLC's in the entire new england area for two years, and ironically that...

Lol, thanks Handruin! If I do I will be replacing this dead card in my parents computer with my G400maxx I have here and getting myself something else. Currently looking at a geforce 6200 128mb (steering clear of the LE). Or does anyone have better suggestions for something fanless, AGP, DVI and...

I checked Matrox's download page and it looks like they have BIOS's on there so that could conceivably work. As you say though, I am replacing the card for something new as it's not worth my time. I might tinker with it though, just kind of a neat thing to see if I can do it. Mostly I put this...

Hmm, interesting thought. To do that I would have to have a PCI video card (that I don't have), change the BIOS over to init PCI first so that I could see what I was doing in order to see the flash program.

I ran into a pretty strange video card problem on my parents computer today. First of all I had to take it in to be worked on because of some random crashing and I discovered that the video card won't turn on the monitor until it boots into windows. You won't get video in the BIOS, Dos boot...

What, no WD bashing yet? Not everyone awake yet?

Exactly, they could use an updated version of spybot to hinder the inteference from nasties. How much can you ask of a free product though?

Oh, I would not trust ANY software to keep track of this stuff for me. Whether it's on line or encrypted on my HD.

Yeah, sometimes I like to make patterns on the keyboard too. Most of the time I am using the piece of notepaper in the wallet approach though. Sometimes it's just a challenge to remember all my user names across all of our systems, that and all the minimum length, special character etc...

I know, California seems like its own country but it's not quite there yet. I am tempted to ask what you want for just the three disks. But don't, I really don't need to be spending money on computers now.

That sweetens the pot a hell of a lot, that's a $700+ item according to pricewatch. How much of a warranty is left on that? I would be all over this if that was a PCI-E adaptor for my fast computer, but the cost of those really put me off. Might be able to use that in my server that has a P4SCT...

Will MS Briefcase do this? Basically all you want is to compare the file modify dates and update the older one so I am thinking some sort of bat file that she runs when leaving or arriving?

A 24" monitor at 1600x1200 would be ideal, has to be a big market for that. 1920x1200 doesn't sound like a 4:3? Hmm, looking at the link 2707WFP so yup. Maybe if you actually get back from the screen a little you will be fine, this is a big monitor. I think so, that's home theater territory...

I have had problems with SpybotSD not running or stopping the scan halfway through with a reason that the user stopped the scan and I know I didn't. Addaware works for me fine. I would like to see an update of both of these, they have been around for quite a while now and it seems that they can...

The HDA X-Mystique 7.1 does not support it, least not under XP x64. My ancient CMI8738 doesn't either, not that that is a surprise.

Crimson editor for when I get serious, but 90% of my work with stuff like this is in old notepad. I also use beyond compare quite a bit for difference finding.

Seconded, the wide screen marketing hype does NOT apply to computers.

My spelling is horrible. I rely heavily on the text box spell checker in the Google toolbar, grammar now is a different story. Neat story on that, I was doing a job in one of their buildings and someone came around handing out T-shirts with the Macromedia logos on them that they now had to dump...

I thought all the brand name stuff came with a lifetime warranty but apparently not. PNY=1 year and sandisk=2 years. Just picked up a 2 gig PNY for $50 minus a $10 rebate if I ever get that, not bad for $40.

Motherboard and memory sold. Also found this: Zalman ZM80A-HP heat pipe video card cooler. Convert your video card to a fanless design. Older design but I bet it will work on a lot of the newer mid level video cards, requires that they have mounting holes through the PC board around the video...

Got cash, getting it out today. Hope UPS ground is OK?

+2 on the local thing, I was totally prepared to return one or two with dead pixels but pleasantly surprised on the first try.

Oh, local pickup in Nashua, NH.

I don't check PM's a lot so that's the best way to reach me. I take paypal at that address too. Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-K8N Pro SLI. This motherboard died on me and I RMA'd / replaced it in the intervening month it was away. I received back the same serial number back and now it tests good...

Well I like my 204B. It replaced two monster NEC FE1250+ and a IBM P202 22/21" CRT's and I am not missing the dual monitor thing. I am loving the LCD sharpness, text is much sharper at the same resolution on similar size screens vs my old CRT's. I do some FPS on it and I have never seen a...

Sure, you have mail. Well I don't know what they did but it posts fine just like before now. Not even so much as a note on the RMA slip.

Got the board back today and I sent it out 7/26 so that's nearly a calendar month turn around. Not the greatest service, but that was UPS ground both ways so going faster you could knock off maybe a week and a half or so. I am slightly dismayed that I received the same serial number I sent out...

Well the asrock board got here Wednesday on time and it both powered on fine and would accept my USB based KVM so we are already much better than the Gigabyte I had. I even found I could run tighter memory timings in this one with the same memory. Nothing at all to complain about in this board...

Really? I didn't know that and I wonder why not? The last board I had to RMA was an ABIT about five years ago when I lived in Fremont CA, two towns over from their RMA facility so I just drove over dropped off the dead one and got a replacement board right then. At any rate I ordered an ASRock...

I tried some different memory and that did nothing, one stick at a time and in several diffent slots each. I wish I had another PS to test with to be 100% sure but I don't. Really though, it should at least turn on...

Damn, now I have to check that. My thinking was it would at least power on and give you a POST fail beep code if it was memory processor or video...

Goes along the same lines as the reason why there isn't a heck of a lot of bugs for apple or linux I guess, they target the biggest markets.

Ah, I see. I ordered XP Pro X64 edition today along with a new motherboard, about $130 more that I didn't need to spend but at least I am adding some features.

Well this GA-K8N Pro SLI has been a never ending disappointment. Some of you may remember my incompatibilities with the Nforce4 chipset and my KVM, a KVM of all things to be incompatible with, wow. Yesterday after rearranging my office space the computer refused to turn on. Literally moving...

DynDNS works OK, I have been using it for a long time now. They have a bunch of different suffix's to choose from and I chose ath.cx because it was the shortest.

?? Those screenshots are of XP.

Two hours later he was surfing pron...

Well for me doing something quazy unapproved of depending on how you interpret things it's an issue. I guess I will ride out this vista thing for a while and see what I can do to pick up a legit XP on ebay or something. The price should be going down with the next big thing coming up right?

Yes I believe it does. Along the lines of this thread it also requires a retail CD key...

Mubs & P5-133XL: you hit it. The motherboard was both a replacement and an upgrade so I can't simply put Compaq's BIOS in it so this disk will run. The restore is a DVD job and has a lot of crap on it I am sure, much prefer to go clean anyway. At any rate right off the bat when you boot the DVD...

Well I am stuck. I have here a Compaq X07 with some new components in it (motherboard) so of course the restore CD won't run on it. It does have a valid sticker for XP Pro but my OEM install media for another computer will not accept this product key. I know about there being different media...

I got the disk, thank you very much. Sure you don't want any money? Last chance.

I can paypal, sold.

An update: If I take the wild card out of the email in my contact and specify a fixed email then this exception rule will work so it obviously doesn't like something in my wild card. BUT it will not use the ring tone I specified in the exception, it uses the one in the Profile. I don't know...

My company is transitioning over to these things and I get to be one of the beta testers, whoopee. One problem, we have a call center that sends out pages via email and I need this thing to make lots of noise when that happens and to pretty much ignore the rest of the emails. The...

Yeah, I would add that one address to my approved list and not mention it at all to him. If he hasn't cared about it for this long than your bringing it up is just going to be an annoyance.

x2, I have used it for years. 3.x seems a little bloated but I don't mind, 2.x is a little slicker. As far as the time thing goes and being interupted I feel free to ignore anyone at any time and answer at my own leisure. I don't always answer my personal phone either, unfortunately when on...

Free to good home. Local pickup only, in NH just across border from MA. I will part and ship components if no one is interested in the whole thing, you pay shipping. Computer is all set up to be a MP3 jukebox for a car. I was running winamp through a keypad plugin and using a 10key keyboard to...
