hey guys, i've got a question that requires your input. the northbridge fan on my NF7-S crapped out a couple of days ago. so i am going to replace it, problem is that practically no-one has pure NB fans. so i was wondering if the thermaltake CrystalOrb would suffice? or if i could not be...

Hey all, been gone for a while, but here i am back again (for those of you that might pretend to remember me :) ) Anyway, i am having an issue here, and i don't really know why. I'm making a DVD for a friend of mine in AUS, of home movies that he has recorded. He FTP-ed me the vids, and i...

I noticed about a week ago that my taskmanager was not working. What made me notice it was that my Norton didn't virus scan when it was scheduled, nor did it perform a disk defrag when i told it too. After playing around with the schedules to test that it actually wasn't running (like telling...

When did the new looking forums happen? I was rather keen on the previous look that it had. Is this just temporary perhaps, due to the site re-working? I'd post more about what I liked about the old forums but I'll wait untill I get a mod's reply.

I got the clever idea of imbedding some search engines in my active desktop, and everything was peachy untilli clicked on the search box again after searching for some stuff to test it out. Now it remembers past entries and suggests them in an ugly gray box when the rest of my desktop is blue...

When using the download/upload total counter, is there any way to reset it? i know that you can do it by rebooting, but i am wondering if you can reset certain windows counters, while keeping the other one running with out incident (ie. uptime). If any one is wondering i've included a screenie...

This is most likely something that madmatt will know how to fix: I'm trying to get this Google search to work on my desktop. It's all HTML (so far), but I am unhappy with it. Currently it works fine, just not like i want it to. After i search for something and the Google page opens up, the...

I recently installed some new software and noticed that it had added some entries in the Tools menu in IE 6. Does anyone know how to go about removing these entries, they aren't terribly anoying, but i don't like things messing with my Windows, especaily if i don't use the entries. Visual...

I have a bunch of pictures in the My Pictures folder that i apply to my background when i feel like a change. However i always have to browse to the My Pictures folder to see them. Doesn't XP put the contents of My Pictures into the selection box for your background like ME used to? if so...

I'm playing around with active desktop, a la madmatt and Md, and i came across a strange occurence: When i use tweakui to get rid of the recycle bin (there is a option to diplay it of not) my desktop get's rather odd. my background will not dispay. i will only see the colour that i have...

I moved the locations of the My Pictures and My Music folders, to a larger hard drive. My problem is that the icon for the My Music folder changed to the default icon, and i don't know how to get it back. I looked in the folder's properties, and there is nothing there that would lead me to...

I was tinkering with the icon's tab in the xp powertoys tweakui, and when i was changing the shortcut overlay around it made my icons look like they were being rendered with far fewer colors, including those in the quick launch. I was running my desktop at 16bit (when i was trying this out)...

I noticed this a couple days ago and so far it has me stumped: I've set my swap file to be 576MB (1.5 x 384MB RAM), yet when i look at it in the windows task manager it says that my swap file is 945MB. Or is that just displaying my RAM plus the size that i've allocated to my swap file? And...

Here's a question for all of the dual booters. I had linux installed on my laptop then deleted the linux OS. The partition is still there, it has not been resized by Windows at all and I would like to put linux back on it without having to format. Has anyone done this sucessfuly? And if so...
