I'm building my new rig (when I get all the parts) and I'm not sure what card to get, I was thinking of an XFX 8600 GT 512 but it seems to have disappeared from where I was looking so I would have to go with something else...anyone got any suggestions? hopefully not spending more than £70 on...

anyone else?

ip address does the same, I haven't changed anything, just one day it stopped working for no apparent reason!

for that price you won't exactly get much... nor a decent brand, in fact, advent is the only brand you can get. I would suggest that if you can strech to £322.96 then get the Advent 5431 as it has a pentium dual core 2.0GHz, better than a celeron, in my opinion.

I assume you have no other components you can try in it? RAM being the main one i was thinking. You could try taking the battery out and running just from mains incase thats the problem, I've known batteries to cause the strangest of problems!

I suppose if all you get is it trying to uninstall then you probably already have the current version! You could look in add remove programs to find out.

I've found that when installing the update through firefox plugins it doesnt work, I had to go to the adobe site and download it to install it.

Have you got an external screen you could try plugging it into? just incase it's the screen or screen cable thats the problem.

It already has a built in Wireless card with A, G and N speeds, you don't need to put one in.

no it wont... I said "\\blah blah blah" because it is the name of what ever computer that I tried to connect to... therefore not important information so I didn't include it Just for information, if I type in \\caspian (the name of my laptop) while I'm on it, it comes up with shared Docs and...

I am the IT Guy :P well one of anyway... my boss has no idea either, he's just put it down to "another reason to use linux" Which didn't help me I do have permissions, I've used some of the shares on it before, and the permissions havent changed. but I can't view my pc at home either.

in what sense? at the moment I am at work and there are about 50 different computers that I can't connect to, there is also domain here (that this laptop isn't on) that I can't connect to, it says it can't find the domain controller. I also have the same problem at home with 3 computers

You mean the network setup wizard? Yes

I've got a really strange problem, and no-one else seems to have quite the same problem so I thought I'd post it. I've been able to browse the network on my laptop since I put XP on it a few weeks ago, but now when I try to browse to absolutely anything it says "Windows cannot find '\\blah blah...

I think out of those 2 I would choose the Asus board, even though it's £20 more it means I done need to get a dvdrw as I can use my IDE Drive insteadso it acually only costs about £5 more. Any other suggestions or comments? Is the PSU OK? Rail stats are on the link.

for using shutdown its pretty simple. open notepad then type shutdown -f -s -t 00 the "-f" is to force everything to close the "-s" means shutdown the "-t" is the time then add the amount of seconds after "00" this makes it force shutdown straight away.

So I've got a £300 budget for a new gaming computer (nothing too intense as I've only got a 15" 1024x768 monitor) which will also be used for video recording and mixing occasionally and various other menial tasks. What I've got so far is this: OCZ 2GB Kit (2x1GB) DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 CL...

can you tell where the crackling sound is coming from? It could well be the power supply, I've seen them do strange things.

If you want to access files faster then RAM but only to a certain extent. 1GB should be enough for that, however, Getting a faster hard drive may well be the way forwards. a 7200rpm drive should do the trick nicely with a bigger cache than the current one
