    Help with browser hijacker

    Not sure if I'm in the right place, this was the closest forum I could find for my issue. I'm NOT running XP, I'm running Vista Home Premium. While using Internet Explorer (I prefer that over other browsers, spare me the hate mail lol), and I use a search engine, EVERY time I click on one of...

    CD ROM opening during boot process

    haha... I oddly enough haven't tried even poking around in the BIOS, but to answer your question, no, no external usb plugged in. I suppose I'll try that firmware you suggested... And yes, it is old.. lol... there's a website: www.4allmemory.com where you can find RAM for anything. IT's a...

    CD ROM opening during boot process

    Hello all. Hope i have the right forum. Anyway, I have an old Compaq laptop that I am fixing up for my Fiance for her to use for school. It's a Compaq Evo N1015v, with Windows XP Home, 256MB of RAM (Soon to be upgraded to 768),and an AMD Athlon processor (1.52GHz). So, almost the second you...

    Help with webcam

    PRPhx - sorry, missed your post. Nope, nothing in event log even remotely close to orbicam, logitech, or anything else that would apply.

    Help with webcam

    vacunita - I read theacerguy threads. They have solutions there for acer aspire's only. Looks like Acer hasn't released a patch for the travelmate's. Aspires use a bison camera, and the TravelMate's use Logitechs. I tried taking all my pictures out of My Pictures to no avail. It's a real...

    Help with webcam

    PRPhx - ok, nothing listed in the Registry, and Lemon13 - nothing listed under hidden devices... Both excellent suggestions, but maybe the canon stuff isn't the problem. EIther way, the problem remains. There is some app using my camera in the background, and causing it not to work. I've...

    Help with webcam

    Tried all you said. Nothing listed in add/remove programs, and webcam is not listed in comp management. Deleted ALL usb ports, restarted, and let them all reinstall. No luck. We even tried uninstalling/reinstalling drivers/software for the orbicam itself. Lost at this point...

    Help with webcam

    First off, apologies if this is the wrong forum, I didn't see a specific forum for laptop hardware. Anyway, I have an Acer TravelMate 8204WLMi laptop. It comes with an Acer Orbicam. My orbicam is not working, and when I try to open it, I get the following message: "Camera is in use by...

    XP Pro hangs at startup/shutdown

    jerichardson - thanks for the advice. Just out of curiosity (not doubting you) how would DNS cause a hang like that? For the record, it did cease after the drivers were installed. I haven't gotten around to the "it's now safe..." message yet tho. Will definitely try your suggestion. Thanks.

    XP Pro hangs at startup/shutdown

    After I installed all of the MoBo drivers, it seems to work ok... It still gives me the screen that says "it is now safe to turn off your computer"... I know that's changeable... No biggie... If the problem persists, I'll repost, but for now, all seems ok... ty for the reply.

    XP Pro hangs at startup/shutdown

    This PC is brand new, out of the box. It's configured with RAID 1, and I installed XP myself. Install/RAID config went off without a hitch, and now I'm installing my MoBo drivers. Everytime I attempt to restart, the machine hangs at the "Windows is shutting down" screen, and also at the...

    First step of VoIP implementation

    Just wanted to update this post. I ended up, through reading all of your helpful replies, and through talking with a salesperson at Avaya, that VoIP is definitely NOT the solution for my office. We will go with a normal telephone system, and just add on the features we need as we go. Thanks...

    First step of VoIP implementation

    Noted guys... Our network is 100% Gigabit (printers excluded of course), and we have excellent uptime... Is there something I might be missing?

    First step of VoIP implementation

    kwing112000 and Vonexer... Thank you very much... I'm going to try and get in contact with Avaya and see what it's gonna take to get this off the ground... Thanks again...

    First step of VoIP implementation

    Assuming cost isn't a factor, equipment would I need to implement the following scenario? An internal VoIP solution, that still uses POTS externally. Each office person (approx 10) having his or her own extension/voice mailbox. This just kind of got thrown at me, and I have 0 hours of...

    Help with CName record

    mmhmm. yea, I kind of figured that was my issue, I just wasn't sure how to add that Cname record to my internal DNS servers. I know where to do it, just wasn't sure about what exactly to put in the properties of it. I ended up figuring it out anyway. I would have posted that it was resolved...

    DHCP (Ip dropp)

    Just wondering if it might be easier to just go static? Maybe there's just a simple NIC issue, or Windows issue and that is why you are not keeping an address lease???? I would try to go static and see if that corrects the problem. If it does, just go to whatever device is your DHCP server...

    Help with CName record

    Ok, I want to start off by saying I'm not much of a DNS wiz. Recently, I ran into trouble setting up a comcast business class email account in Outlook 2007 (Windows Vista). After some tech support calls to both comcast, and my domain registrar, I'm pretty sure I narrowed the problem down. I'm...

    Question about .exe's in XP Pro

    Electronicsfreak - I tried installing this file from the original disc, and then through a download from dell's site... both files have the same behavior, and the file will run fine on other pc's, so i'm inclined to believe the file is ok.. badbigben - I've tried running this exe in safe mode...
