    (sigh of frustration....) Thanx for your help. I guess this card is probably toast. I am looking for a new one now. I will also get a UPS for future problems.

    Redout!!!! ATI card too red!!

    Power fluctuations? Do I need to get UPS? I do have a very good surge protector. The power coming in is very stable also.(as far as I can see) Maybe this box has a skittish power supply?

    Redout!!!! ATI card too red!!

    the monitor is about 1 year old. I managed to get the redness out of the pic by switching to the newest Omega driver but, i booted up this morning and the desktop was completly a blur of horizontal lines. I am willing to bet that a few more boots and it will be like nothing is wrong. Very...

    Redout!!!! ATI card too red!!

    I have a box with an ATI 9600 pro (2.4ghz 800mhz FSB, 512 ddr 3200 ram, winXP) Every time I startuup this box I get unusual graphic corruptions. Any 3d app (open GL or d3d) will have an overly red hue to it. for example, my pipes screensaver will have a reddish black background instead of...

    ATI radeon 128MB video card false representation

    http://www.ati.com/products/mobilityradeon9000/index.html The bottom paragraph. " MOBILITY™ RADEON™ 9000 has three variants: Discrete up to 128MB On-chip 32MB DDR (64-bit) On-chip 64MB DDR (128-bit) " I am not sure what "discrete" memory is, but I am sure that this...

    Is this monitor toast????

    I bet it is, but, wanted a second opinion. OK, was usin a 5.5 year old 17" CTX monitor. Abruptly the power on it flickered back and forth, them died. It also started a soft rythmic clicking sound. Have not been able to have it power on since. This monitor is definitley the problem as...

    Software support only if you preregister your credit card?

    I had a co-worker that filed his returns under TurboTax 4 or 5 years ago and some of the filing for his business was so messed up he ended up paying a couple of thousand dollars to the IRS in fines on top of interest and back taxes owed. He insists it was a TT error and not a user error. That is...

    Please explain refresh rates...

    I have several PCs, one of wich is exclusivly a gamer box. I realize more Hz is better but I am concerned about additional wear/tear on the monitor or vid card. #1Is this concern unfounded? Should I just max out the Hz refresh on my gamer box for better visual effect/ higher FPS? #2Is changing...

    IF this is not B.S. and IF this is actually what happened... Isnt the Secret Service only involved for mail/wire fraud? I can see the FBI involved for the valve thefts but the secret service is not involved in simple theft. also,This search was pretty tame by comparison. Try (like me) having a...

    Case Study in Programming Ethics?

    I hate to inform you Mike555... your manager is not obligated in any way to use your program in the way you intended. (I am still wondering why people are calling an omission a lie)If I understand you, he is taking your good work and showing it off to the holding company for your entire...

    Reference letter

    DrJava Joe Actually, many companies in my state prohibit anyone else except for HR to give any reference whatsoever. If you where a manager would you risk your job to give this verbal review? Nowadays normaly the prospective employee gets a batery of personality tests, honesty tests, credit...

    e-mail recovery

    In the US there is no such thing as private e-mail use when the account is owned by the company. In the corporate world the only privacy you are allowed is the bathroom and your body (which will include a personal handbag like a purse, pockets, wallet etc). That is about it. So, if your boss...

    Reference letter

    In the US a bad reference from a former employer would make a lawyer jump for joy over the money they will earn by making it so you do not have to work for the rest of your life. It is almost that bad. It doesn't matter if you where fired for commiting a capital crime/felony to the company. You...

    Are vendors cheating on tech support?

    strongm If I am getting you right... I do aggree that designers should code with the ultimate goal of end user ease of use, However, personnaly being in all levels of the tech support chain I have seen that the needed skill set of the engineer as opposed to the support personal is pretty...

    Wider control?

    I will number my thoughts on this as they are very differnt form each other #1 Whenever I see Kofi Annan complain about "richer nations not contributing enough" I feel like I am about to get bent over (no vaseline, no reacharound)and more of my money is about to go to that inefective...

    "Spam rage"?

    Manarth the difference is that in your case M$ is not being paid by Apple mac. Spam Laws need to go up the money trail. As it is profitable to spam it will not go away untill it is not. I do agree with getting the payers as much as the spammers because the spammers are "just the gun&quot...

    PC redux

    "Don't even start on the ACLU defending the Bill of Rights. Nothing could be further from the truth. They are a group of extreme liberal anti-American trash who only are a wrench in the justice system" this...is an understatement. The ACLU is defending NAMBLA's rights to publish...

    Should computer technology be used to kill people?

    Computer technology saves lives in war. The Interceptor Vest that stopped the AK47 round from killing my cousin who is stationed in Bahgdad was computer designed and manufactured. He was hit in the center of his chest and his heart briefly stopped, he was returned to duty the same day. This life...
