It could also be a program that is set off at a certain time. My pc came with some webtv software and it would check for channels every night at one. It would slow down my computer but not lock it up. But chances are if you don't have current virus definitions, a virus is crashing your...

Here's how to turn it on w/out a mobo. http://www.exclusivepc.com/Guides/guide.asp?guide=TurnonaPSUwoMotherboard

True, paper has a very, very long legacy dating back to ancient Sumeria. Now we are trying to kill it off with one new technology? It's not going to happen, at least for a while. Paper has been proven. I believe that vinyls were used as an example; how long were vinyls used, or cassettes for...

Go to http://www.mp3car.com - go to the link at the bottom and poke around on that forum. They usually sell adaptors in the FS section. Btw, this is a really cheap hobby. My entire system cost me $50 - the result? A computer in my car (no lcd screen though...).

Do you notice the problem when not looking at a cpu moniter?

Yes. I think you can do it through tweakui, but here is the way that I did it. Backup all essential files before doing this though just in case something bad happens... ------------- Click on the start menu and goto Run Type "regedit" (no "" in any of this unless...

It's really not as big as a deal as you may think. The voltage on the m/b is so low in the first place, I doubt any real interference would take place. I know many people that have built cases out of MDF, plexiglass, and fiberglass - no problems with interference yet. I agree though, if...

The exact thing happened to me. It turned out to be something with the ink cartridge, because once I replaced it the problem went away. And clean everything before you put cartridges in - it's really a good habit to practice in the first place.

Hmm...do labtop HDDs run at the same voltage as desktops? I plan on using fiberglass as a case (I have a bunch of spare stuff lying around) - so the case should fit the contours of my car quite nicely. Someone said to me that if you mount a HDD on its side, the risks of it failing are fewer...

Sick of listening to my CDs, I've decided to build a PC for my car and put all of my MP3s on it. I guess the first real problem that I have (besides space), is that I need some sort of power supply that runs at 12VDC instead of 120 VAC. If i were to convert the 12V to 120V, not only would I...

This happens to me occasionally too. Usually it is spurred by another program wanting to get online. Lets say Im just browsing through some files and I click on a save website, it may start connecting. To solve this, I downloaded Zonealarm and the next time Explorer asked to connect to the...

About the RAM, open up the case and see how many sticks are in there and how many slots are open. I like the idea of just having a stick of 128, but if you want to save some money, just get a 64 meg stick. Just make sure you get the right variation.

I think that just uninstalling all Internet software would be your best bet. I have a firewall, probably well known by now, called Zonealarm that has an option to block Internet access. If you had this program running in the tray, it would block out user access without deleting lots of...

If you're using IE or Outlook, they have options that allow you to connect to the Internet automatically when opened. So Klick's solution should work with that.

I think what you are describing is the screen just changing from resolution shifts... You probably play the game at a different resolution than what is on your desktop. Also, download Directx 8 (I think that's the most current). I'm sure that directx drivers came with the game but they are...

No one can write a program for every single pc configuration. It's impossible; so there are bugs. I guess until they release a patch, I'd just experiment with some other browsers. I really despise the new Netscape (4.7 was my fav but I updated and therfore lost it). But I found that there...

I guess we need more information. What kind of connection do you have primarily? Cable or 56k? Where do you live (urban or rural)? Is your local ISP a big name or a small name? Your best bet would be to check your cable or phone line to the outlet in the wall first of all. Those cords go...

I tried scanning but no corruption of any files were found. When I go to Display Properties, a list of availiable backgrounds are shown, but I can't select or scroll through the list. To the right of the list, the browse, pattern, and display selections are all grayed out so that I cannot...

Intersting, mine does this too sometimes. Well, it used to. I have a Logitech iFeel Optical Usb mouse. When I first bought it, I caught it moving all the time and many times I found myself frustrated. The first thing I did was unplug the mouse in the PS/2 slot - I still had it in so I took...
