I have heard about the 75gxp being a major problem and some of the 60gxp having problems, I have an 80 gig 120gxp that works fine, its super fast except when it has been sitting for a while, I guess the power saving features are working. I've had some problems with it but its not the usual...

Hey mclellan, I'm curious as to what the problem is? Is your computer running slow, having problems, etc.? btw physical memory has nothing to do with resources or leakage. When I ran win98 my usual resources free at start up was 94-96%, however I usually ran it to 0-10% frequently thruout the...

Hey hahnsolo, Never ever buy an open box item again, you don't know what the people have done to it while its been opened/on display, kinda like buying a rental car, sure its cheaper but it may have been abused. And you won't find that out right away. Ok, here's what I would do if I did buy...

I take it that you have not solved the problem. Heres a couple of ideas. 1. power supply is old maybe its not supplying enough power, not enough power can corrupt and destroy hard drives as well as other components, Also if there has been uneven power and this happens a lot at home then you...

I would do as edfair says, I've built computers for less than $400 and more than $2500 that in reality did most of the same things at the same speed, for instance word processor, internet surfing, most games will seem to be almost exactly the same speed. Specialty stuff will need the cutting...

Hey AjIsCoool, try motherboard monitor 5, it will monitor your fan speed, cpu temp, mobo temp, etc., you might also check your hsf to see if they haven't come loose, chipsets as well as cpu, clean out your case and fans if they are dusty, use a software hlt program like vcool, also your...

Hey SillyGirl, Quality components listed, what is the psu? I agree with Arachkid in using the minimum components to start up, also you might want to check if all components are correctly seated/installed, ie video cards, heatsinks, drives, etc. If it works with minimum components then most...

I don't think that link to MSKB is appropriate as this is before windows completes setup, so msconfig is not available, is that right Sillygirl? In fact I think all of the posters are missing the fact, windows does not complete installation on a clean install. Is that correct Sillygirl? If...

Hey TenKong, How much ram do you have? Maybe you need more. Maybe the programs you are using is leaking memory? Theres a registy hack to unload dll's that should help. Have you set your computer to server in the performance section? This will help out a lot in maximizing your cache. If you're...

Hey rthrashe, I'm curious, how did you fix it?

Sounds like you have an ata100 drive thats running in pio mode. Check your device drivers and see if there is a conflict, also enable both drives in the controller, check off dma in the drives and controller section if any, check off box in system devices>direct memory access and enter 64 in the...

Heres a solution, zip it up and password protect it. Its more secure than the 3rd party solutions as those can be easily circumvented by other 3rd party explorer/viewers like Ulead Photo Explorer, going into dos, using another os, etc. The zip method is better because its not going to be exposed...

Pull up windows explorer and see if there are multiple windows folders since there can only be one main windows folders any other folders will be named windows.000 or such.

Hey Arachkid, Great that you build your own computers, however Sillygirl said that someone built the computer for her, so she doesn't know if the cpu/ram/video/etc was at default settings or oc'ed and if so by how much, when I build a computer I usually set the bios to aggressive after the...

Could be that you need to reset the bios to default. It may be that the bios is set up aggressively, sometimes people set it up too aggressively to install windows. There should be a default button/section someplace in your bios, or failing that, individually reset every option to the lowest...

I've just built a computer Azza 361BS KLE133 VT8361 + VT82C686B Athlon XP 1700+ Kingston PC133 128mb x 2 Volcano 5 cooler windows 98se plus98 pack It was running a little hotter than what I would like. I thought I'd use a software cooler before I spent more on another HSF, rain which I've used...

Hey nelljack, Do you mean NTI CD maker 2000? And is it a Pacific Digital label? Could be that you need to visit Pacific Digital website or the makers website to download the newest upgrade to NTI CD Maker, or you need to upgrade the CDRW firmware, maybe both. btw pacific digital is a marketer...

Hey CitrixEngineer, good to hear from you, yes there may be some confusion on understanding my use of the terms pio and ata because like you I do understand the diference as mentioned in my prior post, however I have defaulted to what the public commonly refers to pio as the older drives and...

I think the most important thing is communications and training. Review everyones work and have praises for them on a job well done for only those areas that were well done, get employees feedback on areas that need work and help them figure it out. Set a regular meeting once a week to review...
