    How to get into BIOS

    Also, if it has a splash screen on boot, try hitting the tab key. Generally the splash screen'll go away, and let you actually see what the BIOS is telling you, it might be listed there.

    win98 reboots it's self on only in normal mode?

    9x baesd OS's aren't known for stability, I steer clear of them as much as possible now a days. Hehe. I've watched a fresh install of 98 go down the can in a week before under normal usage.

    cannot get a screen?Any ideas?

    if indeed you had a short between the board and the casing, you might've toasted your onboard video card. Always use the brass risers when attaching your board.

    BAd monitor

    degaussing kind of like "dumps" the exccess buildup of electrons, etc etc, on a CRT monitor (if memory serves correctly) and it can help a lot, depending on the situation. Perhaps try new video card drivers, might work. If they're complete lines, I'd shy away from saying the monitor is...

    Give me your oppinion.

    I really wouldn't be running anything else while you burn, but in theory you should be ok. System would probably chug, hence why you'd want to let it be while it burned.

    printer issue......

    Is WINS set up on the server? I'd assume it is, since it's an NT 4.0 server.. but just want to double check.

    win98 reboots it's self on only in normal mode?

    There's something wrong with the windows installation or a driver somewhere, could be sound driver as well, if it works fine in safe mode. Try the sound card driver, see if that helps.

    hitachi hard drive in laptop will not format

    Compaq laptops from a few years ago are notorious for having their HDD's fail completely. I had many many instances of that happen when I worked at a university consulting place. I'd say I had more 'older' compaq laptop HDD's fail than any other laptop. Might be a simple case of your HDD being...

    Soundblaster Audigy 2 supports digital audio but?

    Most of the creative speaker packages are nice, and the higher end Altec Lansings are nice as well.

    cannot get XP Pro to join a 2000 ADC (domain)

    That would definatly cause problems. Glad you figured it out!

    cannot get XP Pro to join a 2000 ADC (domain)

    Is the server auto-assigning everything? I had a similar problem, but I manually assign (small network, lets me do it) IP and DNS. one thing you MIGHT want to try is manually assign the DNS, just have it point to the domain servers' IP address, see if that helps. Turned out with mine I had...

    PC Performance Decrease over time.

    there could be any host of reasons wrong, including what you have loading on startup, the harddrive space, the drivers, the OS itself.... any possible spyware apps running, any unncessary background programs running..

    Soundblaster Audigy 2 supports digital audio but?

    Eh, for true digital, just go out and get a reciever and speakers. I've yet to find any computer system that'll give true digital performance quality like my home theatre system. Much less headaches too. :-D

    XP can access windows 2000 network without logging on to domain

    On the other machines with shares, just set up the permissions on the shares, so only certain usernames can access them, see if that works.

    how do you overclock a P4 2.4 533 FSB/Intel 850E?

    Dells are pains to OC, and when you OC a P4, you'd want to make certain that the fan/heatsink is the best out there. That's true for any OCing. I, personally, don't OC because it shortens the life of the processor, and I usually end up running computers into the ground. Just some thoughts.

    ASUS P4S533-VM Doesn't support Windows 95

    errr, 1/2 gig, sorry.. Has major issues with it. My brain wasn't working well when I posted that response earlier.. curse daylight savings.

    ASUS P4S533-VM Doesn't support Windows 95

    Probably a case of the hardware being too advanced for the software. Install Windows 98, just make certain you don't have more than 256 megs RAM installed on it, as 98 can't read more than that. Besides, Win95 won't read anything beyond a P-II correctly.

    ATI All-In-Wonders

    I pitted my 8500dv against a GF4 Ti 4200, and it only came in about 600 points lower. (7450 for my computer and 8000 for the GF4) Fairly respectable, since the 8500 is the equivalent to the original GF3 (not the Ti varieties). Plus, you get all the added stuff of remote, TV tuner, video inputs...

    using a game console with a pci video card

    You need to make sure it's actually an input, and not an output. Most videocards have TV Outs, and not ins. The only inputs I've seen are TV Tuner cards, or ATI All In Wonders (such as the 7500 and the 8500).
