Hello -- I'm currently working on a client's computer -- it's identical to the one in my sig save she has a 5900FX card. EDIT: (She has onboard sound, not an audigy card, and has a plextor cdrw, no dvdrw) She just noticed yesterday that it began giving blue-screen of death messages with...

Hey all - Was wondering if anyone has had a similiar problem to this. Recently, within the last few weeks, anything I install that uses Installshield/Demoshield hangs for about 10 minutes or so and then goes on installing w/o any problems. I've searched Installshield's site and couldn't...

Hey all - I noticed in the last few weeks my monitor, albeit it could be my video card (I hope not), is acting funny. Every few days or so, but no set time, the screen will flash and become very stretched to the right. The mouse will then no longer line up on the screen and I have to guess...

Hello all -- I basically want to create a web page that, when it's loaded, will display a series of photos while playing a song during the duration of said show. What is the easiest/most effective way of going about it? I know you can achieve this via Flash, but is there anything else...

Hello all -- During my routine cleaning of my drive I noticed: C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Temp\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5 There are a number of folders under Content.IE5 and what looks like images, graphics, etc. from the net. Some I can delete, but some I...

Hello all -- I'm from the states, but I have a friend in Vancouver that needs a new video card. I'm looking for a reputable and fair-priced Canadian site. Anyone have suggestions? Thanks.

A client just dropped off one of their business PCs for me to inspect after if failed to boot a few days ago -- this comes the day after we had an unexpected, early spring storm. He tells me his monitor smells funny [the pungent electrical smell], so I figure that's toast. I'm playing with...

Does anyone use a small air compressor for their computer and/or electronics? Reason I ask is I am looking for said compressor instead of dumping $5 on canned air every few weeks. I work at a photo lab and we use a very small air compressor to dust out the machines, film negatives, etc...

...this one game, maybe around the '95-'96 era, was a simple interface where you had a workshop with gears, pulleys, levers, etc. and had to use them to make a functioning system. Call it a digitized 'Mouse Trap' game where as soon as you set one thing into motion, the rest would follow suit...

I'm looking for opinions on some quality blank DVD media, -/+ doesn't really matter. I know Verbatim makes a good disc, any others? Thanks.

Apologies if this is a dupe post, but I could not find a post along the same lines as this one using the search function. If it is a dupe, please discard. :p I've used this tweak I found in one of my recent PC mags and noticed considerable speed increase using the web.

Hello- Has anyone used Plextor's 8X +/- RW drive? Trying to find a decent burner to round out my new system with and so far this one seems to be the best bet...

I'm looking into getting a Serial ATA drive to replace my current IDE drive. My question is, and I'm assuming so: can I setup the SATA drive via the mboard's SATA input and use an IDE Cdrom in conjunction with it? Or do I need to get an IDE <-> SATA adapter to use on the Cdrom? Thanks!

Hello all. I have a friend that just purchased a Visiontek Extasy Radeon 9600. When it installs, it shows up, in device manager, twice: once as Visiontek Extasy and the other as 'Radeon 9600 series'. She's uninstalled them both, but they both install after reboot. Any idea why this...

Bah and I had to re-register my account after 2 years. :eek: Hello all. I just put in a new Abit IS7-E with a Pentium 4 3.0GHz and 1GB of Corsair TwinX XMS PC3200 RAM. No other changes were made and after the computer POSTs it reboots. Sometimes I can see a blue-screen-of-death...
