    file deleting

    I repeat my message above. I have not been able to delete these files once they get corrupted. I am pretty positive this is realted to the FAT, The drive "forgets" about these files and simply cannot remove them. I have tried about every DOS trick, utility and proceedure you could...

    Replacing Dell Optiplex G1 graphics - Possible?

    The PCI video card should give you enough signal to go into the bios and change this setting. Sometimes windows and other OS's wont be able to use the add-on card until it is disabled in the bios, others work just fine. It will usually be burried in a sub menu, of onboard devices. and could be...

    Do I need a swap file if I have 2 GB of RAM?

    No you shouldn't but I would set a static sized one of say 128-256 MB depending on what you have available. This will keep it from slowing down your system, but should avoid errors if a program does somehow require it. I posted the below in answer to another question hope it helps.... You...

    top company to work for ...

    Gee... and I thought I had given several good examples of poor behaviour on their part that I thought made them a bad employer to work for. "blatant hatred" Try blantant support. I was unaware topic threads in this section were kept so to task and to not comment on aspects of ones...

    top company to work for ...

    This is the place "the water cooler" to state opinions right? The topic was "employees say micrsoft is great", my opinion who cares? I don't take a competitors word for gold. If you have a company, (say MS) who makes false claims about their competition (remeber fake...

    top company to work for ...

    My point was that MS behaves badly, the opinion of the people who work for it don't really count to me. I care more about what a customer or competitor thinks of a company. MS has used very heavy handed, and many believe unethical, and illegal tactics in business. I don't think someone who...

    Is it ok to use Cat 5 cables in Cat6 sockets??

    Thank you both, I stand humbly corrected. I was not aware that manufactureres had upped the gauge for CAT 6. I would still contend that 250mbs is better than 100. Take into consideration the gig cards were free for us, so being able to up our speed for free was nice. My point about standards...

    Replacing stock cooler on Radeon 9600

    Artic silver is the name brand, the generics are just as god, but hlaf the price, just make sure that it contains in the higher 90% of silver content, and that the sivler is 99.9% pure, or close. I would not spend more than a few buck on a cooling solution, new cards that surpass yours without...

    Is it ok to use Cat 5 cables in Cat6 sockets??

    Can anyone give better information than "they are different"? The physical connection jacks appear to be identical to me regardless of the rated speed. Is there something I am missing? I have seen very slightly differnt gauge from manufacturer to manufacturer, but I have not seen any...

    why arent Full Duplex or 100MB working?

    The negotionation is done by each switch, if they are both trying to do it it may not work, try turning off the auto-nego on the Cisco, and see if that does it. Also confirm that both devices do indeed support 100/full

    data problem

    IF this is such an itermittant problem I would look at intermittant reasons. Is there some power source in the ceiling interferring? A HVAC that runs when its hot? Is there condensation or water getting to your wires or contacts at some point. If there are HVAC vents in the same plenum area you...

    Is it ok to use Cat 5 cables in Cat6 sockets??

    Cat5 and Cat6 simply refer to the number of twists in the wire. These twist help keep the signal clean. It is possible to run faster than the wire is speced for. I have been able to run tests of 350mb+ over regular CAT-5 wiring. This was with somewhat realistic traffic patterns, and not too...

    Resource manager says Swap file 0% utilised

    You don't want to use the swap file if you don't have to. The swap file is used when you are out of RAM and need to write to the slower Harddisk. If your not using it its because you have a healthy ammount of ram and shouldn't need it unless you open some very memory intensive programs. Right...

    top company to work for ...

    This may just mean that MS employees are more afraid to badmouth their boss/company than others. I bet Hitlers henchmen would give him resounding reviews too. Customers and competitors are a much less biased judge of doing business with a company. In my experience the customers feel cheated...

    file deleting

    I have had this problem as well. I think the MS article above is inaccurate. I have had these problems due to boot up erros, in reading the MBR and FAT of the drives. If you try to use these files before you run scandisk it will damage them irreparably. If you run scandisk (after you have the...

    Replacing stock cooler on Radeon 9600

    I have not seen the physical card so bear with me If the memory chips and cpu are flush, just strap an giant old monitor heat sink to the guy and point a case directly fan at it. You can also buy one of the fans that fits into a open PCI slot on the back of the PC. Usuall the CPU and memory...

    Full Screen Video Problem

    I've seen somewhat similar problems with a messed up version of Windows media player. I would try re-installing, or upgrading to a new version via windowsupdate.
