    cursor appearing on the second monitor during games

    I have a GF4Ti4200 card that supports two monitors simultaneousely. Using the latest detonator drivers, when I play some games(such as gta3, blood rayne, jagged alliance 2) the mouse cursor appears on the second monitor if I move the mouse to the right far enough, and then if I click a mouse...

    winxp install freezes

    Is there a single partition and a single hard drive in the pc? Did you tried to remove everything, exept the videocard + hd + ram + cdrom? Did you loaded the bios failsafe/default settings? Did you had another os, that worked, on the same pc before?

    Intermittent short beep while running

    I'm having problems too with sounds coming fom the motherboard itself.Mine is an nforce2 and it whistles in some 3d applications. Like unreal tournament. The sound is not from a case speaker or piezzo speaker (a round metal coin shaped thing/ or -if encased in rubber- a round, rubbery, pencil...

    My computer literally sounds weird!

    Paparazi you are ofcourse right, no way I'm going to void the warranty, I was just curious. However, I'll have to wait until it actually stops working because it's just too easy for anyone at the service center to say: well yeah, it sounds funny, they all do, don't worry. The psu is ok, I'v...

    Intermittent short beep while running

    Make sure it's a speaker beep by removing the speaker connector. Not just the case speaker can make a noise like that. Are you using an ups? or a surge protector? these are prone to beeping form time to time. So, if it's the case speaker, and it is not triggered by a program you have running...

    My computer literally sounds weird!

    Thanks for the suggestion mainegeek, but I meant that the northbridge+southbridge nforce2 thingie has only a heatsink as opposed to a small fan on more expensive implementations. The cpu has arctic alumina + a big copper base + aluminium heatsink and a 8cm thermal take fan running at 3300 rpm...

    My computer literally sounds weird!

    I have to mention that the sound was coming from inside the computer case, not from the speakers. The first thing I did was to remove the speakers thinking the amplifier was melting or something like that. Also, the videocard worked (with no weird sound or anything) for a year on another computer.

    Ti or FX

    There was a test a while ago on digit-life, between 64 and 128 megs ti cards. Running Unreal Tournament 2003 at maximum details in 1600x1200 4x antialiasing and 8x aniso filtering, the 64 meg cards were FASTER. That's because, usually, the cards with more ram have slower ram, to keep prices...

    do you want to install and run....NO!

    Thanks TekKnowGeek, I did that, just in reverse, adding all sites that gave me these popups to the restricted sites category in IE. Problem solved. I'm going to install Hijack, spywareblaster and spybot too, just to make sure my comp is clean. Thank you all!

    Dual Channel Memory

    No need for identical sizes. You can use a 256MB chip and a 128MB chip in dual chanel just as well. The board will use 256MB in dual channel mode and 128MB in single channel mode. The reason for this: dual channel means the ability of a motherboard to use two memory controllers simultaneously...

    do you want to install and run....NO!

    Thanks, I did that and cleaned a bunch of junk, but it seems this particular problem lies elsewhere. The dialog box is just like that for installing flash player or some other normal software that is needed to display a certain page. Except it tries to install these malware programs. Is there a...

    do you want to install and run....NO!

    I'm using the IE that comes with xp sp1. How can I disable this popup message in that asks me if I want to install and run all sorts of programs that "save money", "accelerate downloads", and usually try to dial $1/min number? When I click NO, it pops a message that says...

    I need a software that can find what registry keys have been added/changed and save them to a file. It's taking me days to reinstall every application and game every time I do a fresh install of windows (reinstall because of: changed motherboard/ managed to make all drives dissapear/ new hard...
