    Interesting Display issue

    Here's what I've done so far. I've tried several different drivers. I tried the one off the Dell website as well as the ATI DNA driver. I've called Dell and changed out the system board and video card. I've reformated windows twice. Still, once the driver initializes it automatically switches...

    Interesting Display issue

    I have a customer who brought us her Dell laptop to work on. The issue is as soon as windows gets to the log on screen it switches to the external display and will not display on its own LCD. Even if there is no monitor attached. It works fine on a PE disk or Live Linux disk. It works fine if I...

    My NES sound mod.

    On a few games. And the disk system also used these audio pins. The pins allowed for external audio chips to be used inside the cartridge. On the US unit they moved the pins to the expansion port so no cartridge could use them.

    Update Windows with Firefox without WGA

    Someone at my job told me about this site. http://windowsupdate.62nds.com/ You can update windows using Firefox as well as other browsers, but not IE. There is no WGA and it's free. I just used it. It works well.

    Urgent Help

    Does the old hard drive also have windows installed? Did it come out of the same computer? If so you could just ghost it over. But you'd have to procure a copy of norton Ghost to do that.

    Backing up CD's is now illegal

    They're way off. The reason why people aren't buying music isn't because of downloads. IF THE MUSIC IS WORTH BUYING PEOPLE WILL BUY IT!!!! The reason why people don't buy music is because we can hear it for free on the radio 50 times a day for 6 months until we are sick of it. Why the heck would...

    AMD and Intel Mixing and forcing - OK to power?

    If your AMD CPU is Socket 7 then it will not hurt anything to turn it on. Socket 7 was the last standard to work with both AMD and Intel. After the Athlon came on board they started having their own motherboards. 3 things will happen if you turn on your PC. 1) It won't do anything. 2) It will...

    Network Connection causes computer to pause

    This is wierd. The local area connection is the only one effected. The wireless lan connection is uneffected and runs normally. All of a sudden if there is anything connected to my lan jack on my pc it pauses every few seconds and the activity light constantly flashes. The mouse cursor pauses...

    Wireless Router G or B?

    Yeah I'm very pleased with it. I have a longer cable on it than what came with it. It's the type that has an antenna and has a cable, it's not just a little nub that sticks out of the USB port. I'm picking up two other routers which I am locked out of, but can see them on the list.

    Hilarious Specs!!!

    My first computer was a 16Mhz 386SX. It came with 1 meg of RAM and a 40MB hard drive. I eventually upgraded it to 4 megs or ram, which was its limit and a 425 MB hard drive. I even had a 1x CD-ROM and Soundcard added. It ran DOS 6.2 and Windows 3.1. It's in the attic in a box. It still works...

    You can find them elsewhere for between $5 and $10. I love newegg but $17 is way too much for that.

    adapter?

    It wouldn't be hard to directly wire a headphone wire. They have 3 wires. Red, White and a common ground for both channels. If i'm not mistaken Red is right and white is left. Twist the ground wires together on both speakers and attach it to the common ground, which is not insulated, and then...

    Bios?

    Well for mine it's DEL. It usually tells you when you boot up though. Could be F1, F2, or DEL. If it's a toshiba laptop you hold down ESC while it boots.

    Windows 98/ME updates download to CD

    If you have Windows ME you need to get rid of it. Even if you have to format it and put 98 in its place. It's quite frankly terrible.
