    Pci-e parallel adapter epp mode?

    I did contact the seller to see if he can give me the make and model number but he's not much help! :( I think the manufacturer is MosChip, but I can't find any software on their website, or even any reference to my device! :confused: The only thing they mention on their website is that the...

    Pci-e parallel adapter epp mode?

    I bought cheap pci-e parallel adapter for my pc (because it doesn't have one built in!:rolleyes:) and although I got the drivers to install, I can't figure out how to get on to epp mode, or even what mode it's currently on! :confused: Obviously the bios is of no use to me because its an addon...

    Constant Freezing/Crashing

    A lot of antivirus programs detect joke programs as viruses. I think it's to cater for the more computer illiterate people! :P I've used F-secure for a long time and though it's not the best it's one of the best. It's bound to go wrong once in a while. Besides, it's the software that's used at...

    Constant Freezing/Crashing

    The virus scan finished and it found 5 malware and 9 spyware. Thing is, looking at the log, all the "viruses" are joke programs I used a long time ago, to play practical jokes on the more computer illiterate members of my family! :D Other so called "viruses" are adware programs which I'm not...

    Constant Freezing/Crashing

    My desktop has decided to play a new game with me where it will work perfectly for a while and then at any random moment in time it will become almost completely unresponsive, to the point where even ctrl-alt-del won't load and only the cursor moves. The only way I can remedy this is with a...

    Trying to resurrect an ancient laptop...

    I have an old Zenith Z note GT with no operating system and I'm trying to load an os onto it. The problem is that the computer is so old that the bios only allows booting from a floppy or the hard drive. The floppy drive is dead so the only way to boot would be from the hard drive. Is there any...

    very slow dell

    I am using f secure at the moment but that is literally the only sofware that matters on there. I also have another 2400 which I am also giving away so I swapped the ram for the 1gb sticks but there was no noticible improvement. The pc I took the 1gb of ram from runs very well and is the exact...

    very slow dell

    I have an old dell dimension 2400 I am giving to a friend. I installed a fresh copy of xp on the machine and updated it to sp3. Despite being a fresh build, the computer is struggling to process even the simplest of tasks. It just stops and does nothing. The machine is a dell dimension 2400 as...

    System Restart Incident

    Does it always do this changed routine now? It could be that something in the BIOS has changed causing it to not perform the POST correctly. I'm not quite sure though.
