    something wrong w/ my comp

    You said you were using a 250w PS? Before you send anything back I suggest you try it with the 350W PS you said you were getting...I had a friend you got exactly the same processor, suffered a very similer problem (only this was a 200w PS) and when he changed PS (case actually), the whole thing...

    sony dvd ddu1211 - cannot burn psx

    Quite possibly, they do after all own the psx, and take care of all their own copy protection. Surely you don't expect Sony to made a drive that would allow you to duplicate some of their OWN products, so that you don't have to give them money?

    System Hangs...?????? Help..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Could it possibly be because the win2k prompt isn't a true DOS command prompt? Something possibly different in the way NT/2k assigns memory to the command prompt from they way w9x does it?

    Certs in general

    Basically, you need the experience to back the certification up, and without it, employers won't give a hoot how many certs you have...On the flip side, if you have a half ton of experience, but no certs, they still don't give you the time of day (speaking from bitter experience myself here)...

    Monitor Darkness

    When you reinstalled, did you select a laptop display panel for your monitor? Or is it set as a "standard monitor type" Alternatively, some video cards have utilities for setting brightness, contrast and gamma separately from the monitor. Is it possible that you HAD one such utility...

    This device cannot start. (Code 10) with RADEON 64mb DDR?

    Which OS did you install? Also, check the AGP aperture size in BIOS, I think that has been know to cause problems if set too small (not sure though). Failing that, try installing it as a stabdard VGA device first, letting Windoze configure the rest of your hardware (if necessary) the first...

    FLOPPY DRIVE TROUBLE PLZ HELP...!!!

    Well Rfeenie, the reason it was possible was cos the motherboard had a ton of free space on the side of the connector, and there was no guide socket either. On the floppy drive, the same thing also happened...on top of that, it WAS the first time I'd rebuilt my computer, and I was resuing some...

    FLOPPY DRIVE TROUBLE PLZ HELP...!!!

    Does the drive light come one and stay on when you boot the computer up? If so, then you need to flip the cable over and reconnect it (change the side the coloured stripe is on). If it's not that, and you've checked the floppy cable is connected to the motherboard as well, then it IS possible...

    64 Meg ram chip detects as 16 Meg?

    Hmm...does the board contain two different types of RAM slot? If so, the slots currently being used (as you know, you should NEVER mix RAM) may be being determined by a jumper setting - the motherboard manual MAY be more helpful there, especially since I can't find out anything about the AI5TY...

    How to find the DOS characteristics of my sound card

    You should be able to find the settings tha card is using in device manager, just bring up the properties of the sound card, and the hardware settings it uses are identical to the ones you need for DOS. However, and I'm sorry if you know this already - do you have a DOS driver for your card, or...

    Fatal Exception 0246..013747fb

    New RAM installed recently? System fans running OK? Installed any new hardware/software recently? Check those in that order. RAM has this horrifying habit of coming up faulty, especially non-branded types (sorry, but it's a truth, at least in my experience) The computer overheating is...

    Adding Slave Drive

    It sounds a bit like a master/master conflict there. Check the jumper settings on both drives, and make sure that the right one is set to master, and the other is set to slave, then redetect in the BIOS. Another thing to check, usually drives are set to "cable select" by default, and...

    Multi Booting

    To do this, it is best to create two partitions on the HD, one for win98 and the other win2k. Install Win98 to one partition, and then install Win2k to the other. Make sure that when you install win2k you select the option to install to a separate location (not over the top of win98!) I would...

    logo in system property

    Doesn't the BMP file have to be the same resolution and colour depth as the original logo file?

    All Office 2000 apps stop responding when I try to change fonts.

    Umm, try closing Findfast. This program, installed with Office 2000 by default causes no end of problems with a lot of machines - it has a habit of locking up and preventing the system from doing anything else.
