    Outlook disconnects

    The laptop is a late model Compaq Presario I believe and there are no utilities for diagnosing the unit. One morning, I switch the network cable to another port on switch and the problem went away for the day. The problem came back the following day so I am guessing it's an IP or firewall...

    Outlook disconnects

    We're having an isolated issue using Outlook in our office. We have Mi8 hosting our emails and all 5 employees share the same email. Recently, one laptop continually disconnects and reconnects in Outlook, which makes it difficult to save and send emails. It uses a wired connection when in...

    Connection Issues

    My boss recently replaced his old laptop with a new one and now has issues when using it in and out of the office. His laptop does not renew his IP address and cannot VPN or check Outlook. He now has to release then renew his IP every time he boots up in a different location to communicate...

    Outlook File bar

    Thank you cmeagan656 for your recommendations. Unfortunately, neither steps made any changes. I attempted to reset the menu bar a few times with no avail. It seems more like a software issue rather than a user setting issue, but that is only based off my computer understanding. Are there...

    Outlook File bar

    When making a new email using MS Outlook, the "File, Edit, View..." bar that is usually at the top of the page is not placed there. It is actually placed 4 lines down on the email body portion and words are hidden under the bar when typing. Is there a way to move this bar? There is no handle...

    LCD screen problems

    The problem does look as if it is the LCD. I made sure I did not exceed the resolution of the monitor and tried reseting the screen using the on-screen display controls. No luck there so I tried another computer and the problem exist but not as bad. The 4 vert lines are there but are less...

    LCD screen problems

    I have posted about this problem a few months ago but now I have pictures. My screen developed 4 light lines on the right hand side and causes changes in my display if I enlarge a window or if I move part of a window into that area. So far, I have tried my VGA connections to make sure they are...

    Radeon 9250 Hangups

    This motherboard does not offer an AGP slot but has an embedded AGP video adapter. There are 3 PCI slots and 1 AMR slot available for expansion. At the moment, I have a Firewire card in the first PCI slot and the video card in the second. I will try switching them to see if there are any changes.

    Radeon 9250 Hangups

    Thanks macten88 for you response. Would it be possible that my motherboard cannot support this 256MB video card?

    Radeon 9250 Hangups

    I forgot to add that I did change my bios settings for my video controller to PCI instead of AGP (onboard video). During my first install, I disabled the onboard video in display adapter and did not install it on the clean install.

    Radeon 9250 Hangups

    My PC Chips M841LR has a built in video card and I purchased a Diamond ATI Radeon 9250 PCI 256MB card as an upgrade. My first problem with the installation was the bad CD driver it came along with. I then tried going to the Diamond website, which also had a bad release of the driver. ATI had...

    No sound from SB

    I have yet to swap the soundcard to another computer to see if the card is the issue. Another website recommended wiggling the plugs to see if there was any static, which means it would be the culprit. But I had no luck there. dglienna, as mentioned in my first post, I was able to use the...

    No sound from SB

    No luck with a different slot and I have not tried on another computer but maybe that is something I can try. This may be the deciding factor on whether to replace it. Thank you for your help.

    No sound from SB

    I triple checked everything. Volumes are turned up on both Windows and speakers, nothing is muted, it is plugge d in the correct port as well as trying every port for the hell of it, power is good, and there is no onboard sound to disable. I even reformatted and installed WinXP a second time...

    No sound from SB

    There are no conflicts and shows that the device is working properly under Properties.

    No sound from SB

    I reformatted my brother-in-law's computer and re-installed XP and all the required drivers. For some reason, I cannot hear anything. A SoundBlaster Audigy is being used with no onboard sound card. I had Windows automatically install the correct driver and no progress. I uninstalled all of...

    Lines on my screen

    There are lines showing up on my screens that are distorting my display. I noticed this after running Lavasoft Ad-Aware and I deleted everything that the app found. Could this have deleted certain window files or is this something totally different? If it is a windows file, I can easily...

    External or Internal HD?

    Thank you for all the replies. Power failures do not happen much where I live but they have occured before while I was on my computer before. My HDs never went out and all my information was saved except for the work I was doing before the power failure. How does information get deleted if...
