I am running Windows Vista Home Premium, as I have been for 3 months now. Just lately, when I go to create a new folder, it says "the file or folder does not exist." It will let me create a new folder called "New Folder." It will not let me rename it, though. Anybody ran into this? Reps of...

I am trying to network 2 computers to share files and printer use. I currently have a router with 2 computers and an XBOX 360 sharing internet access, all works fine. I recently tried to allow the 2 PCs to share file and printer use and it just will not work. I have tried running the network...

I realize this is not a new concept, but I just sometimes neglect this chore. I just got through dusting the inside of my case completely, and I lowered my idle temp from 37C to 25C, no kidding. I am guilty of postponing this simple task for some reason. But I implore everyone to do this on a...

Hello all, I recently visited driveragent.com and ran their scan. I don't wanna sign up with their service, but now I am going nuts trying to find updated drivers for my IDE and USB. True, everything is working properly, but I just wanted to see if I could update the drivers. I cannot find...

Hello all, I am trying to help my father resolve some troubling problems with his Windows XP Pro desktop computer, hopefully without a reinstall. When he went to log on the other day, almost all of his desktop icons were gone and windows was behaving as if it had just been installed...

I cannot get this cheat to work, though I have followed the steps to the letter. Anyone else encounter this problem? Here is the cheat: God Mode You need to edit your savegames in order to be invulnerable, you also need a Hex Editor (Hex Workshop). Go into your install dir (default is...

Hello all, I am new to the world of networking and have just set up my first one. It is a small home network involving only 2 computers (and the router transmits a wireless signal as well). I have the 2 computers successfully sharing an internet connection, but I want to be able to...

Well, I have finally outgrown my Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro. Had it for over two years now, and it has been a good one. I'm planning to buy a new video card from Newegg in the very near future. I have been reading about several models. Does anyone know the difference between these two that...

Hello all, My needs are simple at this point. I will want to share a cable modem connection with 2 PCs which will be hardwired to the router. I will need the wireless capability only for PSP gaming. I know from reading the threads that most people seem to prefer Linksys or D-Link...

Out of the blue the other night, my computer just turned off. Now it won't power back up. I swapped the power supply with a known working one and it does the same thing. I tried disconnecting all devices except cpu and ram and it won't power on. I even tried each stick of ram separately...
