I just reinstalled xp on a computer I have been away from for ~ a year. I have zoom player 6.0 as the video player and a 9800Gx2 GPU. What are my best video settings? Should I let forceware apply or let the video player decide? If I use the Nvidia panel, should I set edge enhancement...

I have been away for 6 months and during that time I had someone do a windows xp reinstall on my machine. So with the new 258.96 Nvidia drivers and the latest rivatuner 2.24c, I can no longer seem to set my fan speed to 100% on my 9800Gx2. I like to just keep the fan at 100% most of the...

I had my computer physically cleaned and the tech asked me if I wanted to upgrade to windows 7 (hadn't reinstalled my XP in ages and it was disease-ridden so I was looking at a clean instal anyways). In any event, to the tech all looked okay. But he didn't really have to work on the computer...

Thanks. Didn't help. Does it matter that I am connected via IPv4 and not IPv6?

Thanks for all the help guys. The Modem is Korean and so I cannot yet verify anything on the cable / Modem side. All I can say is that it seems pretty weird that the tech would take the time to point out to me using broken english and drawing numbers on a pad, and then loading the task...

Tech was there and installed same connection at my neighbours, same type of cable and meighbour got the one Gig (newer Mobo though). Tech also re-checked all his stuff and finally pointed at my ethernet adapter and said he thought that was the problem (hard to understand due to language...

Cabling INSIDE my computer box? It isn't cables TO the computer - tech checked. WHich cables? From what to what?

I moved. My new place has Fibre automatically. However, my computer is limited to 100MBs - not the 1000MBs the connection offers. The intrent technician (he is Korean - I work in Korea - so hard to understand) thought it was because my onboard NiC card was too old or slow. He checked...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16842101101 I'm in Korea and this is available. Not much else is. Everything in this area is about 60% more expensive than in the US. So I really can't afford to go to a $400+ US model which will be easily $650+ here. My one question...

I work in Korea and have been having serious probelms with my monitor flickering intermittently. This happened with my old CRT. I got an LCD. Worked fine. Now it flickers. My old PSU died within 9 months and I bought a new one. My old motherboard had the CMOS fry twice. Now I have a new...

sorted! Apparently you have to enable the keyboard in the bios so that it works in the pre-windows/pre-bios situations. Got a good reinstall. Monitor still flickers. Flickers in the Bios too - but you need light/white screens to make it really go. Seems to be getting worse. Oh well...

yeah no floppy, only cd/dvd - do you think reinstalling THROUGH windows like I did is a bad idea? Should I try to find a way to access the setup and format the drive and reinstall properly? With only a CD drive, is UBCD my best option? I don't understand how it can boot to windows desktop...

I will do all that too. Good advice. But I have already reinstalled via the method where you start the reinstall from within windos (not repair - it asks you if you want to delete the previous OS) but I have heard this is a bad way to do it and there isn't the long format. So I need to get...

I have a legit XP CD. It is from Microsoft. I don't have access to another computer and am not competent enough to be messing with the hardware like removing a HDD. Will this UBCD work? Is there any way to delete key windows files from windows so it can't reboot into windows? Remember...

I'm trying to put a fresh Windows XP install on my friend's computer that he is having issues with. The problem is that no matter what I do, it always boots into windows. Even if I disable HDD as a boot device and put NO DISK in the drive, it will still boot into windows. If I put CDROM...
