    I have a Gericom Ego notebook with a 128MB ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 card but can't get access to the PowerPlay settings. The drivers that came with the notebook are outdated and the manufacturer hasn't updated them. I've tried Omega's drivers and modded official ATI ones without any success...

    isafe.exe

    I'm trying to free up a few system resources and have disabled the real-time virus protection in ZASS. Isafe.exe is still running - I know this is associated with ZOne Alarm. Does anyone know what this does and how/if it can be safely disabled? thanks

    silly question I know, but I've got a client who wants his logos to be displayed in a slideshow. I've installed Powertoys for XP but don't know how to start the wizard. I don't want to use the screensaver method as I need to be able to create an HTML slideshow... where the hell is the...

    partitioning in os x

    Is there a program to create and modify partitions on the hard disk for os x? I know you can use the apple disk utility to do this, but this wipes the hard disk, doesn't it? I'm looking for the mac equivalent of partition magic. Cheers.

    I've just done a system restore & it seems to have done the trick... the only thing I can think that caused the problem is a couple of windows updates I installed yesterday.

    When I right-click and select Open In New Window, the new window opens but does nothing. Even if I wait for a couple of minutes, nothing happens & I have to click the stop button and then the refresh button for the page to display. Nothing's changed in the last couple of days & I've absolutely...

    broadband speed tweaks - do they really work?

    I've been reading on a few sites about a couple of registry mods that are supposed to speed up internet access on a broadband enabled set: The first is the QoS packet scheduler thingy, where the bandwith limit % is changed to 0 and the second is the ie6 hack that increases the number of...

    can anyone tell me how to permanently get rid of those annoying startup items such as Quicktime, Realplayer etc that just sit in the tray and do nothing? I've used msconfig a hundred times to uncheck the programs, but they keep coming back after a week or so. Is there any way to permanently...

    Hi there, I have a Windows XP box containing some important data & have installed an old hd to act as a simple backup. After configuring the backup program, I configured the schedule to start on Sunday nights at 9:00pm. For some reason, this hasn't worked. Even when I go into the scheduler...

    Anti-Virus Programs & XP...opinions?

    from my own experience, Norton Antivirus is always better. I've found that McAfee not only slows down each set considerably, but seriously compromises the stability of the OS. Sadly, our firm promotes McAfee as our preferred Anti-Virus solution. I've yet to find out why. Whether it's...

    Non system disk!!

    here's another one to try... If you are able to boot off a floppy, try and get a copy of a windows 95 boot disk. Put the disk in and switch the set on. At the C:> prompt, type "sys c:". This will copy the system files from the floppy to your hard disk and, providing your original...

    Non system disk!!

    if this message occurs, it could be because: a) your pc can't see the hard disk. When the machine switches on you'll see primary master, slave etc. Have a look to see if your hard disk is detected b) your drive isn't formatted or the software isn't installed correctly. If your set can see...
