    Missing internet from Home Network

    Also tried the latest versions of WireShark and The Dude....for SOME kind of dignostics help....no luck there either. But that could just be either I don't understand the programs....or they suck......

    Missing internet from Home Network

    OK....installed and uninstalled latest version of Hamachi a few weeks ago to play around with it on my son and I's computers. Shortly after removing, noticed my son's computer has no internet access anymore. Also uninstalled ZoneAlarm Free and ran all the diagnostics I could....including...

    Pentium 630 from New Egg ?

    Should have lots of room, as I think I'm gonna grab another Antec full tower (TX1050B). It may be big and unwieldy, but has lots of room for heat disipation, and even has the 500watt PSU... The ambient temp inside my last one never really gets above 75-80 degrees

    nVidia drivers vs. ATI drivers ?

    Just wanted to see what the consensus is on the latest drivers from both. Currently using the ATI X700, and I HATE the Catalyst crap with the .net backbone as its a total system pig. Looking at jumping ship to the 7800GT, as I had enjoyed my lowly TNT back in the day, but I wanted to know if...

    Pentium 630 from New Egg ?

    Just wanted to know if anyone purchased the 630 from NewEgg, and what type of stock heatsink it comes with (copper or aluminum)? I got the 520 last year, and I total crank on the stock copper core that came with that one (2.8ghz running at 3.59ghz !) I try and stick with default sinks if I...

    For ATI Control Panel Users (for ppl who want latest Cats without .NET)

    They really are a great set of tools....been using for the last year, and except for a glitchy menu start up (flashes sometimes before you have to click and re-open). Overclocks rock solid and uses almost no CPU cycles to run in the background. In regards to the Catalyst CC, if they keep up...

    Error with Auto Open function

    Forgot to mention..... The drive works fine, and disc's with the Autoplay feature also work fine. The only issue really is the Auto Open feature of Windows XP. I can explore and even open the disc as normal through My Computer and Explorer...

    Error with Auto Open function

    Instead of a folder popping up showing me what's on an archive disk, or getting the menu list of Windows asking me what application I would like to use. I get an option box opening up telling me that it can't find the "CD.exe" file, and gives me an option to browse for a program. Any ideas if...

    If Abit bites the dust.....

    Been using Abit for the last 6 yrs now, and have come to really love their stuff. But if they keep this downward trend that's coming to light, any recommendations for replacements? I'm kind of shifting towards ASUS, but I've been too spoiled on all the innovations and accesories that Abit packs...

    Maxed out after 800mhz bump??

    Thanks folks !! Think I'll also get a little daring and see if there's some nice compact water cooler setups out there, maybe over at Frozen CPU (nothing pretty, as I don't have any windows on the case)...

    Maxed out after 800mhz bump??

    Looks like 3.57ghz is a common scenario

    Maxed out after 800mhz bump??

    What exactly is a thermal pad made of anyway? What is a safe Max voltage level for the core on the 520 anyway? I did try bumping to 1.35v once with no luck, but just want to make sure I don't fry it out.... Still though, with nearly an 800 mhz bump, still beats the 233mhz bump I got from...

    Maxed out after 800mhz bump??

    Just wanted to see if anyone had any tips or suggestion on if I should even spend any more money on trying to get my current setup past the free 800 mhz I got right now. Have a P4 530 2.8ghz with stock cooler (copper core) running at about 3.57ghz on my Abit AA8-3rd Eye. I have the CPU...

    Mouse/keyboard not working in UT 04 3369 patch ??!

    Just wanted to see if anyone else was having a problem with the new 3369 patch and kb/mouse not working in game?? Knew something was up when my mouse wouldn't get me past the intro, but works fine in the menu screens. Any others ??? :confused:

    Fresh install of on-board LAN drivers **desperate**

    Hate to put too much praise into it, as I thought they were pretty much snake oil, but I tried one of those cable modem MTU tweakers, and what ever it did, it popped back what ever setting got screwed up from my driver mishap. Thumbs up to WinTools.net Pro !!
