I'm one of those idiots that leaves their laptop plugged in all the time, but lately the charge drops out without the plug part of the icon in Win10. Been having this problem for a while, but it eventually comes back if I unplug cord from port on laptop. Lately, I've resorted to cleaning out...

My SkaarjMasterDuo system is almost 14 years old and I think the only thing I did was change video card and sound card this whole time. I have two 1TB WD Black Desktop HDs (one is backup only) in there and would like to upgrade to 2TB WD Black HDs if it is even worth it. I'm running out of...

This happened just after Christmas 2016: OK, so it's over 7 years old (SkaarjMasterDuo computer in sig) and has glitched a little over the past 2-3 years, but what it did tonight was bizarre: 1. Locked up when I was switching screen in Google Chrome 2. Rebooted and extra "......" appeared all...

Not sure if I'm posting in the right section, but I was wondering if there was a list anywhere of the programs (or at least common programs) dependent on each version of .NET framework. Anyone? I'm fairly certain MS Visual Studio and possibly MS Silverlight are, but beyond that I'm not sure...

For some odd reason:confused:, everytime I right-click on Start, then Open All Users, then double-click on Programs in the Start Menu to modify my start menu instead of just expanding the folder it brings up a separate search window even after uninstalling Windows Search 4.0. Anyone know how I...

I have the latest patch (1.4.2) and have created an AutoExec.cfg as well as the original CFG file and still have three problems: 1. In Settings/Game Options/Gun Position >> it keeps defaulting back to Right and I want it Centered no matter how many times I change it. Is this command in the...

I figure I probably have less than a week to send this MB back to newegg and after that I'll have to send it to Gigabyte if anything goes wrong (and it's running fine right now). Anyone know if it's OK to cut the original UPC label off the box to send in with the mail-in rebate? In other words...

My brother just installed a system with that MB and is having trouble with the video. He says it's extremely slow and the Gigabyte post screen comes up slow and is all messed up. He IS supposed to plug the video card into PCIEX16_1, correct? Any ideas what might be wrong? He specs are somewhat...

I'm turning on this system tonight out of the case to test first and noticed the CPU and MB can run at 1333MHz no problem, but the RAM is only rated for 1066MHz (at 5-5-5-15, 2.1V). I was wondering if it was possible or even worth it to try and overclock the RAM only? Here's my partial new...

My wife got her old computer from work when she left and we decided to hook it up at the house as is, except I have a few questions after I list the specs. COMPUTER: Gateway Midway Plus EA E4100 Deluxe PC CPU: P4 2.4GHz (P4 HT) MOTHERBOARD: Intel LaCrosse D865PESO Springdale-G i865G (AMI...

OK, I'll try posting this thread again as the site seemed to get screwed up and lost the posts from the last 12 hours or something odd like that.:eek: I'm looking for this kind of LCD for someone and wondered what would be the best all-around one for just over $200. Any ideas? Thank you...

I'm looking for a standard 19" or 20" LCD for someone else and just want to know what my options are out there for a good one. There seems to be a huge selection at newegg. Any ideas? Thank you. EDIT: OK, a little checking revealed that I need not look at the 20" ones (trying to keep it...

Just want to let people know that there are some Dayton 8" ones available now: http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshowdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=300-631 as well as the 10" and 12" ones: http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshowdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=300-633...

I was sure I had started a thread on this a few to several months ago, but I can't find it. I was just wondering what would be the best catalyst drivers for these 3 games (obviously, mostly concerned about UT2004)? Presently I'm running the 5.8 catalyst drivers with CP and NOT CCC and they seem...

Anyone know how to stop the Winamp "Retrieving CD Information - gracenote CDDB service - querying" and "No matches found" message boxes when I try to play a song in Winamp 5.21? Yes, I know I need to upgrade, but how do you stop this? :confused: Thank you.

Um, OK, I just finally upgraded last night to SP2 and I changed both these services (Remote Access Connection Manager and Telephony) to Manual, but I can't stop them. Everytime I reboot, they automatically start even though set to manual. How do I stop them? I had them set this way in SP1a...

I've had a Microsoft Optical Wheel mouse at work for the past 2-3 years and it's been working great until this month. The black feet wore off a while ago, so I replaced them with stick-on mouse feet and that was working fine. Since it started skipping this month, I tried replacing the feet again...

Anyone know why some computers on our network have an approx. 30 second delay before it gets to the Ctrl-Alt-Del screen for logging in to the network? In the meantime, it hangs for this time period at the "Applying Computer Settings" screen. My computer has no delay, but three others have a...

Right now I have 5.21, is it worth the upgrade to 5.23 or should I just stick with 5.21 for a while? I just upgraded from 5.03 to 5.21 about a month ago. :confused:

I just suggested to someone to get an Enermax PSU at another forum and they responded back that their PSUs were getting bad reviews at newegg. Sure enough, they were right! I know my 550W and 431W Enermax PSUs are still going strong, but maybe their latest offerings aren't up to par. It seems a...

Anyone know why I right-click on the C: drive (or any drive for that matter) in Windows Explorer or My Computer and my machine acts like it is trying to install Drive Image 7.0 again? I don't right-click on this very often, but this seems kinda strange. :confused: This is my computer at work...

I just got a new receiver for my computer and it seems to put out a lot of heat. It's below my desk and the top of the receiver is only 1 1/2" to 2" below the bottom of the desk. I would like to get either a thin heat shield material or a small fan mounted to deal with this heat. The receiver...

I decided to start a new thread instead of continuing to add on to that other thread and go too far off topic. http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=975613 I have the Audigy2 on my computer with the analog connections and digital connections connected to an Onkyo TX-SR503 receiver with a...

I've decided to finally install Windows Media Player 10 with updates and try to get the WMV acceleration back. Will this work with the 5.8 drivers I have installed now with the ATI Control Panel? If not, then which drivers would I need to also have no problems with Quake4, Doom3, UT2004 and UT...

Strange!? I was watching a college football game last night and my brother called from NYC and I noticed I could hear his broadcast over the cell, but it was 2 seconds sooner (mine was behind by 2 seconds). He noticed mine was behind by 2 seconds as well. What's up with that? :confused:

Got a GE CallerID box model no. 2-9016SG and I tried connecting it to my office phone various ways and the CallerID doesn't work. In fact, the whole phone doesn't work at all when the callerID box is connected inline. Anyone know how I can get this to work? Maybe get a splitter of some sort and...

I just switched my mail from Outlook Express to Outlook 2003 and now I get a notification under my name when I bootup my computer (the screen where I choose a user account). How do I get rid of this thing? I really don't need to know how many new e-mails I have until I open Outlook 2003. I've...

I have a friend that may want to mod his eVGA 6800GT 256MB PCIExpress video card. I suggested an Arctic Cooler (NV5 rev2) or a Zalman (VF700-Cu). I've heard the Arctic Coolers may not seat correctly on the CPU. What do you guys recommend? Thank you.

I had to reinstall XP SP2 on a computer for a co-worker because his system was hosed by a video card driver update not done correctly. I set all the bios settings, installed XP SP2 and then installed LAN drivers and it won't make the Internet connection. It's connected as a third computer right...

Our company has a Windows 2000 server that needs an e-mail spam blocker/filter. I've heard about free stuff like ASSP and HMailserver, but haven't had a chance to check out the details on these. We are not interested in 3rd party or ISP mail hosting right now, but just want something installed...

Before ordering a SOHR-5239S for my office computer, I check around a little and it's not so good. :confused: Since the 5237S is out of production and I will probably almost never need a DVD burner at the office, what CD burner would you guys suggest I order instead of this one? Most of the...

With this LCD monitor (VX715) and video card (eVGA 6800GT with two DVI ports, and adapters for VGA), what is the difference in using DVI versus VGA. I'm building another system for someone and they have these. I'm guessing just go with DVI this time. He's a gamer. Thanks for any help.

Built a system with this MB last week and it was working fine. It was transported to Naples, FL and setup and working at that location over the weekend. Just yesterday, it doesn't want to bootup at all. It fires up and fans spin and then shuts back down with no beeps. We tried clearing CMOS and...

Using this MB (and 3200+ Venice core CPU) with TWINX1024-PC3200C2 RAM (yes, 2 sticks of 512 are in this system now), which is supposed to run at 2.5-3-3-6 on an AMD 939 system. In bios v1.5, it shows the 2.5 CAS latency and shows it running at 2T, but it won't show everything else even when I...

I'm checking this forum for my brother. He wants a new video card with video/audio in, so I suggested he get an AIW Radeon card (9800Pro, 9700Pro, 9600XT or 9600 are the ones that are available now). He wants to run dual monitors somehow with different stuff on each screen. How can he get dual...
