Well I have it fixed now. I decided to install windows vista from an oem cd and it worked no problem and has been working fine after several reboots. Id still love to know why it didnt work on xp though because I prefer it over vista tbh...

I just got a new Acer laptop which had two partitions, C and D visible in My Computer, also in Disk Management there was another 9.77GB EISA Configuration partition. I wanted to split D in half and managed to do it with Paragon Partition Manager. It was ok until I rebooted. Now im back to a...

I recently got a new 40" LCD after much worry/doubt and am very happy with it and glad I got it. So going to take the plunge and get a 24" monitor next. Response is my biggest worry so I can only hope that the one I get doesnt disappoint. This will be used purely for gaming! Im stuck between...

Yeah I tried that but it still wont boot from cd. The cd spins up and all but the os just loads right away, I mean I dont even see a post screen.

I have a Compaq Presario V4000 and have two problems with it and need some advice. 1. Wont boot into windows. It shows the boot screen as if the os is loading but never does load. Then I get a blank screen with the compaq logo and it tells me to press f12 to change boot order. Eventually...

I have a friends latop here at home and every time I press a key the key beeps but doesnt type bthe letter for that key! The Fn key is the only one that doesnt beep when I press it. The latop is a Dell Inspiron 2200. Any ideas?

When I try to share a folder on my main pc with my laptop I can access that folder from my lappy but not the sub folders within the main folder. For instance if I share the my music folder I cant access any folders inside my music and thus cant lisetn to music. What could I be doing wrong?

I need a new router and have filtered my options down to two routers, the DG834PN and the DG834GT. DG834PN -Too much range and I dont need it. +Has ADSL2+ modem but is this better than a normal 8Mb modem other than the higher speed? +"Adapts to interference on The Fly". But does it work...

I pasted the above into my boot.ini but the pc hasnt booted since. That was this morning before work and ive been working at it since I got back. Im not sure what it means but obviously my drive paths are different :) Its my own stupid fault, i shouldnt have went near it so early. I tried a...

Im trying to get two installs of XP running on my pc. Ive created a primary partiton on another hard drive and Cloned my C drive over to it. Unfortunately im not getting a boot loader when I boot to let me select which OS I want. I was hoping after the clone I would have been able to choose...

Why is it that when I use Zonealarm, or other firewalls for that matter, I cant see files on my main pc from my laptop and vice versa? Its only when I use windows firewall that I can access files and folders on another pc. What settings do I need to change in a firewall?

Damn thought it was to good to be true. Thnx for the help man!

Hi. I have a Linksys WAG354G but im a bit confused at the min... Does the built in firewall act like a software firewall (I use outpost at the minute) or is it only there to stop people from getting onto my wireless network? If it was there to block all dodgey traffic then I wouldnt need...

ive read it now i must have missed it. this is all rather terrible and is gonna cost a fortune :( I think ill wait for something more powerful to come out and go with it instead i think.

uhmmm how long is my wait gonna be then? Maybe ill just get another 6800gt, its worth it right?

Maybe waiting would be best. I could need two dx10 cards then tho instead of buying just one more. Is the 7950 the first dx10 card or will there be cheaper ones? Im reading reviews and stuff on different sites and they mostly say like a 20 fps gain minimum in most games. some ive seen are...

I was gonna get another 6800gt and an SLI mobo. BUt some questions. 1. is there any real point? 2. Way back when it came out u needed a seperate driver for each game, is it still like that? 3. Should I just wait and get a 7950 instead?

Why are my sandra scores so low? Is that normal? I played quake 4, single player, and it was fine (60fps no problem) and then about two thirds through the game the framerate dropped and the games was unplayable at times. This is when I decided to run these benchmarks. When I saw the sandra...

I have a dell inspirion 9300 with Pentium M 760 (2.0Ghz), Geforce Go 6800, 1GB memeory (533mhz). Are these scores normal? I think maybe the 3dmark is ok but I dont like the look of the sandra results. The only reason I ran the benchmarks was because I noticed the laptop seemed to be getting...

Where can I download geforce 6800 go drivers from nvidia website? I downloaded the geforce drivers but they dont work. So im assuming they are hiding them just to make my day worse:(

I want to buy a laptop but every time I go to actually buy the damn thing I wonder if im choosing the right hardware. So can someone that knows about these things PLEASE advise me. The laptop is a dell inspiron 9300 and I will be using it for office software, browsing net, video editing (some...

Does anyone know how loud the Geforce Go 6800 Ultra is? Im just about to buy a laptop and have the choice between the geforce and a Radeon X300. I dont really want it to be really loud because I need to use it for work too.

I get a BSOD if I two one of two things. 1) watch videos via windows media player (the same videos work with BSPlayer so I can still watch them). 2) Play a game and listen to music at the same time (using any player, winamp etc..). The BSOD I get goes like this... "Machine_Check_Exception...

Does anyone know a program(s) i could use to create my own menus in dvds?

what is the default voltage for a 3800 athlon 64?

I just got a raid controller so I could add another 2 hard drives to my pc. I have so far only plugged one drive in and when its connected to the pc the pc wont boot. If I unplug the ide cable then I hear a beep and it boots ok but the second I plug the third drive in to the ide controller I...

I need a list or something that has all the details of each athlon 64 cpu right up to the FX55. Does anyone know where id get this?

Whoohooo i got my problem fixed. It was actually a driver issue:) I didnt even touch my drivers but something happened them and made everything go wonkey. Now my scores are actually higher than they were:) (I use them just to know where im at and what has changed etc) I have my cpu and meory...

Ive hinda gave up now:( I just dont see any logic is any of this. You overclock things and it makes them go slower. I had it running really well at 2592mhz and I should have just left it like that, and I would have if the benefits of going over 2.6ghz were not so good, greedy I guess...

This is my first nvidia graphics card and I must say im puzzled by these "profiles". I was having a tinker with them and trying to get one right for quake 3 when all of a sudden the quake profile dissappeared. I cant see where I can create a new profile for a game that I actually own. I dont...

Iknew someone here would know;) Thankyou.

Where would I get nvidia drivers for a Vanta LT? I googled it but I can only find third party ones that probably dont work right. I had ones that worked many moons ago.
