    can't insert floppy into a-drive

    Well, honestly, aren't floppies prettty much useless nowadays anyway ?? This prompts a question on my part - does anyone know if there is a cable that will run from the back of a zip drive and terminate at the other end in the configuration needed to connect it to the floppy port ? Either that...

    my pc itself reset as at 1 or 2 hours!!!

    OK - what a LOT of people do not realize is that a power strip / surge protector is largely useless. They may or may not protect against the (rare? depending where you live I guess) occaional "spike" in power but they will NEVER protect against a DROP in power. Dropouts are equally as...

    Build your own laptop?

    No - there simply does not exist a consumer market for laptop components / hardware / etc... the exception to this being the recent developments by video card manufacturers in the area of making video upgradable in laptops, but that it is far as it's gone - and even that, if I am not mistaken...

    Can virtual screen resolution exceed actual display resolution?

    I run into this all the time with my Radeon 9700 and my flat panel monitor - if i set it higher than the native resolution then the rest of my desktop is "out there beyond the edge" and i have to move the cursor to any given edge of the screen to get it to scroll so i can see what's...

    Onboard video BIOS setting, PCI or AGP?

    No - there is no way to disable the selection of agp or pci - but if you are using the onboard video and there are no video cards in either a pci or agp slot then just leave it set to pci, as setting it to agp could possibly force you to re-enter your bios and change it back anyway. and no if...

    Have you bumped your head ? Nothing about the architecture of Mac hardware is going to be compatible with PC hardware..

    How do I know if my Video Card slot is AGP or PCI

    The difference between an AGP slot and a PCI slot are unmistakable - an AGP card will never go into the "last PCI slot".... To help make it easier for you, AGP slots are shorter in length and are typically brown in color, while PCI slots are longer in length than the AGP slot and are...

    Windows XP Pro/RAID System Help

    OK - you cannot put your primary drive on the raid card ( the one with the windows installation on it ) THAT drive has to be connected to an IDE port - else it will go unseen because it is the drivers which support RAID in windows which allow access to drives on a RAID card - ya with me so far ...

    HELP! BIOS problem?

    As a good general practice, when you go to reset the bios always disconnect all power from the motherboard - there should be no power getting to the mobo from any source whatsoever.

    Ok - good lord man which card do you have in your computer now ? Sounds to me like you are choking the daylights out of windows with all of these driver installations and card swapping - pick a card, any card.......... My advice is go with the best card and remove all other video devices except...

    9700 pro NO agp Texture Acceleration , HELP!

    Why on earth are you using VIA chipset drivers for a Radeon 9700 ???? Uninstall ALL of your video drivers - I MEAN EVERYTHING, then reinstall only the latest Catalyst drivers.
