A PS2 KVM, I assume. That's what I'd like to use it on, anyway

Can anyone verify if this keyboard will work with a PS2 adapter? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823175001 I get conflicting opinions coming up in searches. Thanks :)

Nevermind, I found the problem. The video card's fan had frozen up, so a little bit of 3 in 1 oil got it up and running again.

I've been having issues with my gaming rig where whenever I try playing a game (HL2, HL2:DM, X-Wing Alliance, etc), The game freezes and the screen goes black. I have to hit the reset button to get it back up and running. The issue seemed to start after the latest round of updates Steam...

great, thanks :)

What is a good, free HDD benchmark utility? There's a few floating around out there, but I'm not sure what ones are credible for use, kind of in the way that 3DMark is credible for video card benchmarking.

I currently have a TrendNet TK400 4-port KVM with a Nu L921G that I recently installed to replace a CRT. The problem is that with the KVM, it causing ghosting on text, so that there are streaks sweeping to the right off of any text. If I bypass the KVM and plug the monitor into a workstation...

I installed the zombie-strike cfg scripts (but not not the models), it runs when I create my own server, but not well. Other players have a really hard time connecting to my server (ie, lag). Also, I can't connect to servers anymore. It takes a half hour to connect, and when it does, it's...

I want to find out how the entire process works...what happens after the ForceWare drivers tell the GPUs what rendering method they are going to be using? How is the vertex data distributed for each rendering method? What happens to the frames (or partial frames) once they have been rendered...

I already went through all of those guides. The guide you mentioned only touches on AA, not SFR or AFR rendering methods.

I'm looking for detailed information on how SFR and AFR work. I can't seem to find anything more than articles that gloss over the topic briefly. Do you guys know of any detailed articles or comparisons I could take a look at? I've been googling till my eyes have gone bloodshot. Thanks in...

No, I see it and it's in there. It's just really clunky. I was looking to see if there were alternatives to get rid of the clunkyness of it. On 98/ME systems, I've seen that you can edit an *.inf file to setup port forwarding. Is a similar thing available in 2k?

Is there an easy/better way to do port mapping/forwarding like on a regular router? I just set up a win2000 box with ICS to take the place of my router that died.

What is the purpose of "sampling" a pixel in antialiasing? Yes, it helps rid the image of jaggies in the end, but what exactly is sampling? Does it take an average of something to arrive at a pixel's color? Does it go by pixel to pixel seperately, or does it rely on groups of pixels to...

Does SLI require to identical video cards to work, or can you use different models/manufacturers?

Alright, thanks guys. That pretty much confirms what I was thinking. :)

What is the general rule of thumb about using battery backups and surge protectors? Is it wise to plug a UPS into a surge protector? Is is wise to plug surge protectors into the battery backup's outlets?

I got it in a trade. :(

Well, I gave the card a thourough cleaning, first with an air can, then a wipe down with alcohol and the air can again just to be on the safe side. Still no change.

Nope, the actual links to the files are dead. I'll try the cat 5.5's again. [edit]: Ok, this is odd...there are strange boxes on the XP loading screen...does this mean there's something else wrong? They are a bit lighter than the colors that they should be. [edit2]: Here's what the...

I tried installing the most recent Omega drivers 2.6.25a. It looks *much* better, but there are still problems. Also, just for kicks, I tried setting the max GPU and max RAM clocks with the ati tool. About every 3 seconds, it detected an artifact and kicked back the timer. Are there any...

Nope, didn't work. I still exhibit the same symptoms. Plus, if I try knocking down the clocks as far as 100Mhz below the default speed, the problem looks worse.

I have a strange problem with my Atlantis 9600 pro 128MB video card. 2D video appears to be fine, but it does some strange stuff with games that use 3D acceleration. Here are some screenshots: UT2004: http://computerslayer1.spymac.com/Shot00001.jpg Doom3...

yup, that's what I did.

No BIOS option for dual channel, and I don't even see it enabled in post like my other rig running an A7N8X-series board. On a whim, I tried swapping the RAM on the two machines. I put 2x512MB PC3200 Crucial CAS3 in the rig in question and put the Kingston sticks in the other machine. Both...

I have an Asus A7N8X Deluxe rev.2 with an AMD Athlon XP 3000+, and Kingston PC3200 CAS3 256MB in slot1, 512MB in slot2, and 256MB in slot 3 running at 333MHz. When I try to bump up the FSB to 400, I get BSODs. Obviously, the board supports 400FSB, the RAM supports 400FSB, and the CPU is...

Oh, I see. Alright, thanks :)

Yes, but once I stop the service, I'll no longer be able to access the computer via VNC until I actually physically sit down in front of that computer and enable it again.

I uploaded my hosts file here . I've been working on it since about November 2004 and it takes care of a lot of junk. It's a cheap solution that can easily be installed on all the computers if the number of workstations isn't high. If it is, you're better off with a web filtering package...

I did say "a" comic book, not "the" comic book. ;)

Nope, it's not shared and restarting the client does not solve the issue. Is there a way to restart the server service remotely? No, it is not a physical problem with the hardware. The problem only occurs when I'm jumping around between a good number of program and folder windows and using...

Once the data has been overwritten, no, it is not recoverable. Why? Because new data has been written there. The old data has been overwritten by the new data.

I already checked realvnc.com They other link doesn't really pertain to the problem...it shows how to add code to add windows key events. The problem isn't *using* windows key events, the problem is that something gets stuck in the software and it's almost as if the windows key is being...

Try updating the firmware. Note that you will lose all your saved settings (if you made any changes from the default settings), so be sure to copy them down before you begin the update.

Try some of the programs listed here: http://www.pcmech.com/show/harddrive/664/2/

If you really wanted to, you could go ghetto style and cut out a piece of cardboard to serve as a mousepad.

What does your JavaScript code look like? It may be easier to use the POST method and call a Java Servlet

Try disabling the temp monitor and see what happens. If you still get freezes, try disabling other programs in startup temporarily. If you're still getting freezes, you may want to take another look at the changed settings on the video card. Also, be sure to check the temps in the BIOS...

I'm impressed. The final product looks like its straight from a comic book.
