MS Exchange 2003 Approx. 130 users SQL Server Std. Ed. 8.00.2194 (SP4) The issue we're trying to pinpoint is the "freezing" of a database program while in use. The program hangs for anywhere from 5 secs- 2 min. The problem is intermittent but the log points to multiple instances... This is...

Well, I ended up getting a case I'd had before that I liked. It has front USB on this board but I don't see front HDset mic. I'll have to assume it's not there unless I hear otherwise. Thanks all- Mom

Hey there- I may be laughed out of here, what with all the big price tags & "flash" floating around, but- www.compgeeks.com They have a lot of nice cases at very low prices. If you can't ship from them, you could at least check the cases & specs & perhaps find it in your area? Mom

Put a fan on your side panel- blowing in. Hits the memory & CPU. Worked great for my rig! Mom PS- It could be a screw up on what reading is what. I used Sandra & AIDA32 & a couple of readings looked "swapped".

Going to sound dumb but make sure that you have the IDE & power cables plugged in the correct way? Mom

Thanks for the reply Matt- That was exactly it. I had already solved it, though, by reinstalling the drivers my self yesterday morning. Still, it doesn't explain "why"? A running, "normal" Win98SE install that suddenly loses it's display drivers? It is weird. I don't...

Hi all, Running a dual-boot of 98SE & W2K. For some strange reason, my Win98 started coming up in safe mode-looking form. The screen doesn't say "safe mode" in the corners though- weird. You cannot change the display via properties. It's 640 x 480, 256 colors. The prop. shows my...

Sure, Use AIDA32. Mom

I just thought of something else that I've used (on a few occasions) to clear up other "weird" system glitches: in BIOS enable "reset configuration data"- Mom

Hi- Actually, format/reinstall isn't really all that drastic if you have backed up your data. It's certainly more straightforward than spinning wheels trying for weeks to find a solution while dealing with your mouse trouble every single time you use your PC. I'd do the reinstall, get all the...

Hey there, This is going to sound like a stab in the dark but... ...just try it! I used to ask around forums all the time for certain hardware answers & then I decided to try rather than ask. What you're describing doing isn't going to undermine your system. It'll either work or it won't...

Hi & thanks for your time, Yeas, this has to be the worst manual I've ever gotten... most of the pics describing the jumpers, etc... are totally wrong! They also show a default setting for the FSB which was wrong...sigh... So, I go out of town on a trip & decide to find a new case-that's...

Hi all- Does anyone here have this board- & can they tell me if I can hook up front USB & front headset/mic? Looking at the manual, such as it is (screwy), I see a set of pins labeled "mono in/out" & wondered if I could utilize those? Or am I stuck with rear headset/mic? TIA for...

Hi- Try swapping your known good 256mb stick into the other slot & see if you can boot. If so, it's not the slot. Now put the new 512mb stick in & boot (in the slot that the original 256 had been in)- if it hangs, you know it's the memory & not the motherboard. Also, I wonder if the 512...

Hi- I have an Epson Perfection 1200U Photo scanner as well as an Acer for everyday use. I run a dual-boot of Win98 & Win2000 Pro. When I first set up my scanners, they both worked fine in either op. system. Then I didn't scan for a few weeks. The next time I tried to scan, Win2000 didn't...
