I'm too late, aren't I. SAY IT AINT" SO!

According to the reviews on newegg and assorted user forums, usually it's just problems with the trackpad. I haven't see anyone with my particular issue. I bought a 1000HA for my wife for Christmas and she loves it. It's running Windows 7 and it is solid. I bought this one and one other for...

actually, no. The unit was bad. I sent it back today. Now I have to wait till at least friday for another... weak.

Well, for anyone interested, I think it was a bad stick of RAM. Swapped out the RAM and now no issues. We'll see if it holds up.

Thanks for the info. I have visited there in my many searches, but I never thought to actively search that specific site. I think it would be wise for me to create an account and post this there. I'll post the solution here as well, if one is to be had.

I'm having some issues with the ACPI service on this notebook. First a little background. I received the machine on Friday, repartitioned the hard drive (thus destroying all the data) for a triple boot machine (XP, OSX, UBUNTU). Following various sources, I installed XP first, then OSX...

here be truth.

Hopefully MS actually markets this better. Honestly, they let Apple have it's way too long and it cost them. The general publics perception is that Vista sucks, when in actuality it's a great operating system.. all thanks to Apple and every journalist with a vendetta against MS (who happily...

DVDFab Decryptor Free is pretty awesome for being free. You can rip the whole disc or main movie and it is updated on a regular basis. I use it when DVD Shrink won't decrypt. As for a commercial solution, DVDFab Decryptor Platinum or AnyDVD+CloneDVD both are highly recommended, but i think...

Can you tell who manufactured it? Sometimes the manufacturer has made "changes" that require their drivers (however this is probably unlikely). I also have an Ati 550 pro based tuner from MSI. Whenever I install it, I usually install the drivers from MSI's website first and then go to...

I'm a Vista user and supporter.. but i :p 'd at this. As for it being more secure, I'm on the internet pretty much on and off all day at work, working in autocad, office, burning CD/DVD's, and all of this with UAC off, and still have not had an issue. The only gripe is that every once in a...

This is looking awesome, man, great job. One quick question though; did you make that slimline drive cage, canibalize, or buy it (and where?)? I've been looking for something like that forever after multiple failed attempts of making my own. Thanks. Keep up the excellent work.

This^. I had two motherboards that i brought out of retirement and the onboard sound wouldn't work. It was functioning in Device Manager and everything but no sound would come out of the ports. Then I remembered that I had canabalized the jumpers on both boards. Once I replaced them, the...

same here. at my office, i'm in charge of 40+ machines. all running XP pro. right now, we can't upgrade due to an application we use that is so horribly coded that it barely runs in XP. it is not vista compatible. but when the time comes to purchase new machines, I'll get it with vista...

50+ hour RPG maybe, but no way there was ever a 50+ hour FPS. But I've been proven wrong before, any titles come to mind?

No the fact is: Microsoft is a company. You thinking they are Shiesters is your opinion, not a fact. Microsoft does things right and does things wrong like any other company. Sure, i would agree that some of their operating systems and programs didn't/don't stand up par a lot of the time...

same here. USAA account holder (insurance) and about 7 months ago finally switched from Wells Fargo to USAA checking. The check-scan service is awesome (and free); especially since, as someone already mentioned, I hate going down to the bank or ATM to deposit checks.

Ditto. Glad to have you back.

+3 on the hole saw... but this is coming from a guy who royally sucks with a dremel.

1. well, not too original, but i'd put it into my main rig (possibly replace the mobo in the process) and delegate the 3600 to my HTPC. 2. phenom. i surely hope it will be.

www.rjlsoftware.com/software/entertainment/mouseclicks That one's been good for some good laughs at my office. The wallpaper with the error message was one of the greatest pranks played on another guy I work with. Especially since for every little problem he has, he comes to see me about...

I don't have any problem with 3rd party apps, but the problem i see, and maybe I'm being naive here, is that instead of figuring out how to get things to work themselves and letting their product sell itself. There are probably a lot of variables I'm not seeing here, but it just seems to me...

yeah, the first time i built a machine with a internal usb card reader and a SATA hard drive that happened... and everytime after, if i forgot and plugged the reader in before windows install. You can reassign the card reader to new drive letters, no problem. But reassigning your system to...
