Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
But if I install Win7 only on the Main PC and leave the four with XP Home, is there a possibility that the Main PC will catch a similar virus by sharing the same network (switch and router)?
I'm mainly concerned about this because the Main PC was virus/spyware-free until two of the four PC...
Hi, can you offer some steps to protect my pc?

The built-pc was running fine for the past one year. I was last working on a website (Wordpress with plugin) and got a "script not running, run or close" message because of a jquery conflict with something.

Do you have a separate stereo system to get sound? The LCD monitor has a little speaker somewhere but the white sound cord would not plug in.
Rather than getting a stereo system, I guess getting the Microsoft xbox headset is the only other alternative to getting sound if you use a VGA cord...
It's a widescreen 1440*900 and has both VGA and DVI input. Just found out the input switch.
Thanks for the inputs. I'll go order the Xbox 360 VGA HD AV Cable from Amazon along with the Play&Plug kit.
Sup guys,
The xBox is arriving soon to work and would like to get it connected to one of the LCD monitor available here. The 19" LCD 5ms is connected to the PC using the DVI-D cable.

The FF series are always good, lot of the SquareExnix library. Rogue Galaxy was fun too.
PC: Fable Lost Chapters and Oblivion. Can't wait for Mass Effects.
Does that mean that using a LCD will not strain the eyes at all after 10 straight hours?
And what does this mean: Horizontal Refresh Rate: 30 KHz ~ 83 KHz? thanks again.
Hi, I am about to replace a non-working 16" CRT monitor that had a 85 max refresh rate.
Replacing with an Acer 19" widescreen monitor, how can I find out what the max refresh rate is with the new LCD:

Hello,
I had purchased licenses for a management software and there were problems during the initial setup. Due to the scheduled opening of my business, I had to go with another software provider. That worked fine.
The software company clearly stated in the top Order page that there is a...
thanks for the info. picking up the 24 port switch at bestbuy. the windows firewall remain enabled but only the 3rd party firewall software?
would I need (now or future) a crossover cable?
All the computers will have access to both the internet and the LAN so I left the Windows firewall on while adding the program in the Exceptions tab.
I believe the Linksys router includes some sort of a firewall protection.
Going with a 16-port switch to use along with the 8-port router.

Really need your expertise in setting a LAN for 12 computers.
The main desktop (#1) has XP Pro and will have server programs.
