    SQL I/O errors writing to tempdb- advice needed

    MS Exchange 2003 Approx. 130 users SQL Server Std. Ed. 8.00.2194 (SP4) The issue we're trying to pinpoint is the "freezing" of a database program while in use. The program hangs for anywhere from 5 secs- 2 min. The problem is intermittent but the log points to multiple instances... This is...

    Front audio/USB on Chaintech 7KJD?

    Well, I ended up getting a case I'd had before that I liked. It has front USB on this board but I don't see front HDset mic. I'll have to assume it's not there unless I hear otherwise. Thanks all- Mom

    Casing choices

    Hey there- I may be laughed out of here, what with all the big price tags & "flash" floating around, but- www.compgeeks.com They have a lot of nice cases at very low prices. If you can't ship from them, you could at least check the cases & specs & perhaps find it in your area? Mom

    ATHLON 2600+ CPU TEMPERATURE AND CASE TEMPERATURE

    Put a fan on your side panel- blowing in. Hits the memory & CPU. Worked great for my rig! Mom PS- It could be a screw up on what reading is what. I used Sandra & AIDA32 & a couple of readings looked "swapped".

    No CD support at startup

    Going to sound dumb but make sure that you have the IDE & power cables plugged in the correct way? Mom

    Win98SE stuck in safe mode

    Thanks for the reply Matt- That was exactly it. I had already solved it, though, by reinstalling the drivers my self yesterday morning. Still, it doesn't explain "why"? A running, "normal" Win98SE install that suddenly loses it's display drivers? It is weird. I don't...

    Win98SE stuck in safe mode

    Hi all, Running a dual-boot of 98SE & W2K. For some strange reason, my Win98 started coming up in safe mode-looking form. The screen doesn't say "safe mode" in the corners though- weird. You cannot change the display via properties. It's 640 x 480, 256 colors. The prop. shows my...

    Major Memory Problems

    I just thought of something else that I've used (on a few occasions) to clear up other "weird" system glitches: in BIOS enable "reset configuration data"- Mom

    Major Memory Problems

    Hi- Actually, format/reinstall isn't really all that drastic if you have backed up your data. It's certainly more straightforward than spinning wheels trying for weeks to find a solution while dealing with your mouse trouble every single time you use your PC. I'd do the reinstall, get all the...

    Question about IDE device setup

    Hey there, This is going to sound like a stab in the dark but... ...just try it! I used to ask around forums all the time for certain hardware answers & then I decided to try rather than ask. What you're describing doing isn't going to undermine your system. It'll either work or it won't...

    Front audio/USB on Chaintech 7KJD?

    Hi & thanks for your time, Yeas, this has to be the worst manual I've ever gotten... most of the pics describing the jumpers, etc... are totally wrong! They also show a default setting for the FSB which was wrong...sigh... So, I go out of town on a trip & decide to find a new case-that's...

    Front audio/USB on Chaintech 7KJD?

    Hi all- Does anyone here have this board- & can they tell me if I can hook up front USB & front headset/mic? Looking at the manual, such as it is (screwy), I see a set of pins labeled "mono in/out" & wondered if I could utilize those? Or am I stuck with rear headset/mic? TIA for...

    DELL INSPIRON 8200 MEMORY UPGRADE FAILIURE, CORRUPT FILE

    Hi- Try swapping your known good 256mb stick into the other slot & see if you can boot. If so, it's not the slot. Now put the new 512mb stick in & boot (in the slot that the original 256 had been in)- if it hangs, you know it's the memory & not the motherboard. Also, I wonder if the 512...

    HP usb scanner and WIN 2K

    Hi- I have an Epson Perfection 1200U Photo scanner as well as an Acer for everyday use. I run a dual-boot of Win98 & Win2000 Pro. When I first set up my scanners, they both worked fine in either op. system. Then I didn't scan for a few weeks. The next time I tried to scan, Win2000 didn't...

    Rules for optical mice

    Hi Aj, I think you've had a run of bad luck is all. I am currently using Logitec, Memorex (super-cheap), & Belkin. The Mini-Belkin was for my kids (it's actually a "laptop" mouse, they say)- it fit their hands better. Both the Memorex & Belkin were free after rebate but were less...

    Voodoo 3 3000 problems

    My reply isn't a solution to the problem directly- Get a new mobo/CPU/video card from Newegg. They run great specials off & on & have free shipping on a lot of their stuff. Mom

    very low intensity recording from line-in

    Well... ...I'm not sure about the 1/8 vs. 3.5mm thing, to tell you the truth. I do know, however, that PC ownership & learning go hand-in-hand with trial & error. ;^) Next step would be to either find a manual of your soundcard to see if it lists the size of the cards inputs- Or contact...

    very low intensity recording from line-in

    Hi Rich- I've had troubles in the past with the correct "seating" of these small plugs- 1/8" or otherwise. This applies, in my case, to headsets, phone headsets, headset/mics, - you name it! Gahhh! In fact, on the one set I use to extend my headset (to plug into my desktop...

    very low intensity recording from line-in

    Hi Rich- I just did the same as you're attempting- lucky you, will get the info that took me weeks to figure out! LOL! Ain't the 'net wonderful? To get the best sound using line in, attach the RCA plugs to your AUX or CD out- not the turntable. If you're recording stereo- be sure you have...
