I am designing a test system that has three 8-bit ethernet microcontrollers http://www.rabbitsemiconductor.com/products/rcm4200 connected through FPGAs to some non-standard serial buses transmitting and receiving 16-bit serial data at 1Mbps clock, at some data rate (maybe up to 500 messages/sec...

I want to uninstall an application (ActivCard) from a command prompt with the same results that would be had using the "Add/Remove Programs" GUI in XP. How do I do that? Google is not my friend in this case.

My PC and router run 24/7 in my bedroom so I don't want any LEDs keeping me awake at night. Besides I am an Electrical Engineer and tend to look at things from a logical point of view. I built my PC with no case power and HD activity lights connected. I figured if it is running it must have...

I bought a new DVD burner today and while I was at it I decided to isolate my hard drive. I went over to Office Depot and bought some heavy duty 12 inch rubber bands. They are 1/4 inch wide x 1/16 thick and I doubled two of them to make two 6 inch bands. I stretched two of them across a 5-1/4...

am having a problem where when I try to view streaming video from the Internet it looks like this: As you can see everything is red, green, blue, purple, etc. When I watch DVD movies or use the TV tuner, everything is fine. What's up? Specs: ECS KV2-Lite MOBO (old MOBO had same...

Has anyone had luck getting ATI's beta driver for Vista to work with an AIW 9800 card? Vista found the driver ok, installed it, and invited me to reboot for the driver to work. When I looked in Device Manager I see Radeon 9800 Pro ? the driver is disabled.

Does anyone know of one? I have several rackmount computers at work that require at least 5 amps on the -12V rail. I got one computer to work this week by adding a second modded PSU. I added the second PSU so that it's +12V is wired to ground from the the main PSU... and used the ground from the...

One of my PCs used by the wife and three kids has XP Home and always has 1-4 users logged in at once. It seemed sort of slow with multiple users logged in so I decided to upgrade the memory yesterday. Here's the specs before: Athlon XP 2000+ on an ECS K7VTA3 mobo 512MB PC2700 RAM ATI Radeon...

Use the included pad? Or scrape it off and replace with AS5?

Well I bought a Zalman VF-700Al/Cu cooler for my All-in-Wonder Radeon 9800 Pro card, ripped the package open... and discovered it would not fit! It interfered with the TV tuner (even though the package says it is compatible with all cards except Matrox cards and NVidia PCX cards). What to do? So...

I have worked really hard to reduce noise in my system by replacing case fans, CPU coolers, and a adding fan controllers. The loudest thing remaining in my case is the PSU. Since my PC is four feet from my bed and runs 24/7, I am looking for a dead silent PSU. Right now I am considering the...

My PC suddenly rebooted a few minutes ago. When it came back up Windows was running 100% CPU and could not access TaskManager, no Ctrl+Alt+Del, nothing... I shut it down manually and restarted. Power came on but would not POST, no beeps, no video, and HDD and DVD activity lights stuck on. I...

I designed and built this clock for my second year electronics lab project and I earned an AS in Electronics Technology in 1978. It has 14 ICs plus 6 LED displays and is still keeping time 27 years later in my garage. But my wife won't let me bring it inside the house. :(

My PC is 4 feet from my bed and runs 24/7 so I hoped for more quiet. I already have an Antec Sonata case and Gigabyte CPU cooler and both fans are controlled by a Vantec NXP-305. My CPU and case temps are 39C and 37C (up to 44C and 47C under heavy load) which is OK... I just wanted queter. So I...

I have a couple of printers I want to get rid of but I don't want to pay shipping. So if you want to pick up, they are free: Epson Stylus 600 color printer used for less than a year. The black ink nozzle is permanently clogged and cannot be cleaned (I tried). But the printer is usable for...
