    Gaming and MSCONFIG

    For gaming I've discovered that one of the best ways to keep system resources free is to disable virtually everything using the System Configuration Utility (MSCONFIG). The only problem is that each time I do this I have check/uncheck what services and/or startup items I want to run. Is there...

    yahoo messenger IP address

    I have been told that there is software available that will reveal IP addresses to other users of Yahoo Messenger. Does anyone know what applications would enable someone to do that and/or if there is a way to block it?

    Buying or building a new PC

    I agree with most of the guys here. Although building your own PC may be slightly more expensive up front, it leaves a lot more room for expansion and in the long run may be cheaper on you if go with gradual upgrades. Choosing your own parts can actually make for a much more reliable system...

    component troubleshooting

    I appreciate all the help guys. Unfortunately, it still isn't working, and something is toast. I only have one PC that supports all the current components, so I'll have to take it somewhere to have someone figure out what is still good. Just so you'll know, I had the motherboard unplugged and...

    component troubleshooting

    Okay, this is probably going to end up being a long thread, so I'll just try and go step by step with it. I just am hoping some people can chime in to help me thinking outside the box. A friend of mine had a PC that he suddenly stopped working. He said he heard a "pop" and then he couldn't...

    single versus dual processor configuration

    thanks everyone... sounds like there is not much of a benefit for the person I'm giving it to. If it were staying with me I'd probably do it just to play with it, but no real benefit otherwise.

    single versus dual processor configuration

    Actually, the machine is going out to someone who is asking me to combine a couple of systems of his. He was given (or purchased) this HP Netserver. He has a lousy video card in it, so I don't think he will be planning on doing much gaming. (I don't think a PIII 500 would be capable of much...

    single versus dual processor configuration

    I have inherited an old HP Netserver E60 currently running a PIII 500. I am fortunate enough to have on hand a couple of PII 400s. This server supports a dual processor configuration, so would it be beneficial to me to install both the PII 400s instead? This will only be for home use, so I'm...

    Windows Information Bar

    I realize some people are very sensitive and feel disprected more easily than others. For that I apologize. I have pretty thin skin, and sometimes I suppose I "speak" too soon.

    web site promotion

    Thanks Jesse... that sounds like a plan. I'll definitely check that out.

    Windows Information Bar

    Not at all... I just thought I had heard at one time there was some way to tell what opearting system a user has. Sorry... I stand corrected. The reason I thought this was that I have used a site called statcounter that reported what OS and browser visitors had used. But I guess as far as I...

    cascading (drop-down) menus

    Thanks Bill, I was sort of hoping to come across a tutorial somewhere that gives me the basic idea on how they are created. I figured if I could get through that, then maybe eventually I could expand upon that.

    cascading (drop-down) menus

    Is it possible to create cascading or drop-down menus in flash? I would see a great deal of variance that could be employed if this is the case.

    Windows Information Bar

    Thanks Jeffy, Actually I have discovered that I am only getting the message from a preview in FrontPage. So for now, I am okay. I still believe however, there is probably a script somewhere that will detect if the user is currently running SP2 or not. Then you might be able to redirect to...

    beginning flash

    I am a beginning flash user. I have been in the technical field for a long time, but this is my first exposure to Flash development. I have discovered that it seems to work differently than most other software. As a rule, I have been able to pick up on any new application rather quickly. Of...

    web hosting

    I am currently using Tripod for web hosting services. My business does web design for a lot of companies, so I'm wondering if anyone has a suggestion on who the best hosting providers are. I've noticed that Tripod seems a little slow at times, but there are a lot of features that I like. One...

    web site promotion

    Thanks guys. That was my take on it but I wanted to get some outside opinions. I tried something a while back that seemed like a pretty handy product but never made the investment to keep up with it. I believe it was called Webposition Gold. Has anyone used it before? Also... I haven't dug...

    web site promotion

    I realize that the art of promoting a website is extremely tricky. I know that it involves the use of keywords and meta tags along with a lot of other things. I'm aware that there are some organizations around that claim to be able to guarantee a top 10 placement in the major engines. Does...

    HP Recovery CDs

    It has been attempting to boot from the CD, so the BIOS settings are not the problem. I have successfully booted form another CD. The PC is out of warranty, so HP support will not point me in any direction. I was hoping someone might have run across a similar situation and is aware of a solution.
