Different Track layout? How about the Raptor drives at 36 and 74.

I bought a couple of MAG monitors because they were damn cheap but had good tubes with a good picture. I had problems with both. One would not turn on anymore and was fixed in the last week of waranty, actually out of waranty but they delayed my email responses for RMA requests and I had to...

Really makes me wonder what was up with the other memory. Could you post the part numbers of the Corsair you got and the Kingston that didn't work? Is there a difference like speed or CAS latency? Been using Corsair XMS or Valueram for the past couple years, not one problem so far.

Do make sure you do a good scan of the motherboard and PC cards too. Many reports of board makers having bad caps out there.

Totally agree with the cap idea. DC caps used for filtering can detonate and the circuit will still work with more electrical "noise" in it. This cap could be on the main board or more likely the power supply.

To eleminate the question of software problems pull the drive and test it in another computer. Seriously though, as far as things failing in computers, optical drives are pretty high on the list. Both myself and my friend are on our second DVD burners.

Windows remote desktop or VNC maybe?

Some of the verizon plans allow you to upgrade your phone after two years to something new. Was told I could do this when I got mine.... Verizon also has air cards. PCMCIA card with an antenna simmilar to a WIFI card only it works on the Verizon cell network. I have one for work, it's about...

It was like that by default for me, must not work when the source machine is 2000.

LOL, sweet. I have been just turning up the speakers in the next room.

That's what I wanted to hear ddrueding, will look into moving it over to XP now. Not really using any of the features of 2000 server except routhing but internet connection sharing in XP is enough for me. I deally this machine needs to go into a closet or storage area suitable for computers...

Little google on remote32 informs me it's basically a competitor to VNC. Want to stick to Remote Desktop because it's so damn fast.

What is remote32? Is that an extention to Microsoft remote desktop?

Change my earlier first statement to read: Under 2000 server the remote desktop connection logs into a seperate user session from whomever is at the computer using it, even if it's the same user account.

Under 2000 server the remote desktop connection logs into a seperate account from whomever is at the computer using it, even if it's the same user account. Is there a way to log into the current desktop session? Does XP allow you to log into the current desktop session? I would think so as MS...

Found the problem. The problem is windows remote desktop. I was logging in remotely to a machine that I wanted to load an image by right clicking the tray app. Because the tray app is loaded twice (on the users desktop, and again in the remote desktop session) it doesn't work to well. The image...

I'm 80% sure I fried my very first Athlon 1000 by using a heatsink with the pink bubblegum stuff under it. Put it together turned it on and got the BIOS screen entered the BIOS setup and started setting things up. About 10 seconds into it the system hung. Reset it and never got POST again...

Make sure they have some sort or QOS (quality of service) reporting on the phone side of things. My parents got one and when downloading big files the phone sounds all garbled and distorted. Kill the download and it sounds fine. Not a huge problem as they aren't big internet junkies.

Man that's worse than my bad habbit of just not plugging in hard drives and wondering why they don't show up on post. I get concerned over jumper settings and cable routing and just forget to put the power on there sometimes. Did the connector at least have color coded wires, or were they like...

Man i remember when I paid well over 200 for a TNT2 ultra.

Well daemon tools says "unable to mount image in kernel mode" when I try to mount a DVD ISO on a network drive. Works fine on a local drive. Will look into those other tools blakewry, thanks. Boost: I was using a pirated version of alcohol for a couple days, but it's just to much bloatware...

I have been using daemon tools for mounting images a lot, but rencently found that it won't mount an image on a mapped network drive. Know of anything that will? Mostly looking for simple and/or free.

I used to run into this here and there. It pretty much came down to what does it say it's capable of on the sticker underneth and if that doesn't say anything only expect it to work with whatever conector is on the end of the cord. What did the package of your new mouse say it was compatible...

For sale. It's a pull from my computer after an upgrade. All acessories included, see picture for details. P4 Socket 478, 533 bus, SIS 645 Chipset, 6 PCI and USB 2.0. http://www.asus.com.tw/mb/socket478/p4s533-e/overview.htm http://www.asus.com.tw/mb/socket478/p4s533-e/specification.htm $25...

To bad about the dead drive. About the floppy drivers; the Windows F6 driver install looks for an "oemsetup.inf" file in the root of the floppy drive (can't be in a folder). See if you can find this file in a sub directory of your big driver install and copy that directory contents onto the...

WD drives need no jumper at all if they are the only device on the cable. There is a jumper required if there is a slave present or if the drive itself is the slave. If you look on the top of the drive there is even a picture of how to jumper it.

Double check post speed is what the processor is rated. Might want to just load bios defaults.

It already has RAID capability from the Marvel 88SX5041 on board adaptor. It does 0 and 1 levels with four drives, but no RAID 5. The two aditional SATA channels on the Intel Hanse Rapids 6300ESB southbridge don't get RAID at all to my knowledge unlike the ICH5R. I think tech support got...

Well I called it blue/green in my email to tech support, heh. The reply came back fast but doesn't make much sense, the RAID is on board for this motherboard. The second gigabit controller is clearly stated in the manual and it is on the 32bit PCI bus. Not an issue for me as I ordered the...

I was leaning more along the way that the blue one was it's own channel and not effected by a slower card inserted in the other channels and clocking the whole bus down. The manual makes no mention that these are on different busses though so I will stear clear of them when inserting other...

Can you tell me why there is one PCI slot that is blue? The users manual mentions nothing of this.

It is CSA, one of them at least. Looks like the one.

Thanks .nut I will definately look into that. My desktop is I875 and I like it. Imediate question on my mind is the Gigabit ethernet on the CSA like my desktop board or is this something else? Will definately researgh that one though, thanks again.

That would be hard considering it doesn't actually read the disks. You could incorperate this into your titles though.

I too liked the demo, but it seems that it's not really being sold anymore.

I am looking for a new motherboard and I have a couple of 64bit 66MHZ PCI cards, namely: 3Ware 7500-8 3Com Gigabit Server NIC 710024 Under the 3ware hardware compatability they list boards with PCI-X but they don't list PCI-X for the interface on the card capabilities, PCI-X does both? Will...

Don't know a thing about netmeeting, remote desktop works pretty simple though.

What do I need for a remote desktop connection from an XP box to a 2000 server box? Terminal services? I use this here and there at work and it works better / faster than VNC which I am currently using.

What is the reported speed of the processor VS what you actually have?

Get a laptop IDE adaptor (really cheap) and put the laptop drive in a desktop computer.

Know your way around a windows box? Why not just go with the software you mentioned on an NT/XP/2000/2003 system? If you are using it for only a couple hours there are free 180 day trials of server 2003 around you can pick up, or you could warez something for a day or two and scrap it after. I...

I was so interested when the Pharelia was getting close to release with all the hype, and then it turned out to not be that great in gaming and expensive to boot. I hope some day they make a really great gaming card along with the high quality they already have, will have a welcome home in my...

Sechs got it. I didn't pay atention to that box as it greys out when you uncheck the require passwords box. Thanks!

I am going to second the Matrox decision, great cards. I picked up a G400 Dual Head MAXX for about $40 on ebay.

They do indeed, worked great. Thanks

Question on XP auto login Pre SP2 I was using the "control userpasswords2" command to enable my home PC to boot straight to the desktop which worked great. I installed SP2 and this was reset and showed me the welcome/login screen. I redid the "control userpasswords2" and unchecked the users...

I have a bit of a custom machine, a Dell Latitude C800 that I upgraded the video card to a Raedon 9000 from a mobility4. Of course Dell only lists these drivers, even for the Insporon laptop that supposedly came with the R9000 (which was why I could upgrade mine). At the time there was a...

I do that all the time with hard drives for some reason.

Do you have another boot disk to try, like an actual silver windows XP disk? If you do boot floppies with cdrom drivers can you get a file directory of a disk in the CD rom?

You mean in the BIOS setup page or the 3DM windows software to mark the bootable volume? I didn't see it in the BIOS so I just made the one I wanted to boot to the lower # and it works that way. What I was unhappy to see was the lack of the ability to set up the mirror with one of the drives...
