Sorry for the late reply. Been busy with school. Anyways I did try this and it worked (and continues to work) perfectly fine. No problems at all, no interruptions, no noticeably reduced network speeds. Its perfect. Yorkie9 I actually did not need an economizer. I just used the female RJ45 and...

Hi missedit. I thought it would be ok to do so. The cat3 runs are not long at all. And I have actually yet to have any packet failure luckily. The router does have QoS support as well. I noticed even before when I had wireless N adapters on my computers, when the phone rang, the cordless phones...

I have a desktop computer hooked to my network through a wired connection. My router is in my basement by the panel. There was a phone plug behind the computer that I turned into an ethernet plug since I never used phone there. The wire was not part of the main phone loop wire for the house; it...

Hi everyone thanks for all the help. I've done some more research and found the specific manual for the VIA P4MA-L motherboard that I have. The chipset IS limited to the 400 MHz fsb. http://www.via.com.tw/download/mainboards/3/4/P4MA_Manual_v1.0.pdf I checked for any possible jumper changes...

Hi everyone thanks for replying. This is the info I've gotten. System bios shows this: P4M266-8233A-6A6LWV5AC-00 Windows XP system info shows this about processor: x86 Family 15 Model 2 Stepping 7 I did remove the whole system board hoping to find a model name on the back since none is...

Might I add in 3 of the processor leads were bent a I straightened them out. Don't know if it damaged the processor but all plugged in fine.

I've been using my old VIA P4M266-8233 for the past 6 years. The computer itself is 9 years old but I stick to old stuff for what I use it for. The computer had a Pentium 4 1.8GHz processor in it for the longest time. I swapped it out for a Pentium 4 2.40GHz that a friend gave to me from his old...

Thanks I searched for a "pentium" forum before but thats what I was looking for.

That depends on what software was used to lock the computer. In most normal cases it should be ok, but if many programs were installed with those configuration settings, they may react differently after you remove the security policy. The best thing to do would be to wipe and fresh install. This...

I had this problem for years before I figured out my graphics driver was out of date. It locked me out of standby and hibernate. I've helped countless friends with this problem also and it has for me ALWAYS been caused by an outdated driver. Windows XP device manager may not determine whether or...

Hi, Does anyone know where I could download the Windows 98 RETAIL bootdisk. The only copy I can find up for download on the web is the oem bootdisk. If anyone could post up here a link I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks

Thanks for the help Xwb! I installed a copy of PowerISO onto my computer and burned it with that. I opened the .iso image that I had luckily saved and burned it again with PowerISO and set the burning speed to 4x. And now it works fine! Thanks very much for the help Xwb I greatly appreciate it.

I uaually just extract the iso to the burning drive location. and then i write them to the cd with the cd writing wizard. (the opition in the left of the window under CD Writing Tasks. I do have a copy of PowerIso so I can try that and see if the speed is adjustable.

Hi xwb thanks for replying It was just a .iso image but I then extracted the image to burn to a cd. The cd is capable of 52x and the cd reader is capable of 16x. How would I slow the writing speed down? I am just sending the files straight to the cd drive, then I use the cd writing wizard...
