I looked there but it wasn't, not in safe mode anyway. I thought maybe the CD-R may have been messing up explorer but that wasn't it. I put win 2000 on and it took although there are lines coming off anything on the screen. If I can fix that I'll just give up on XP. Thanks for your thoughts.

Yeh, I tried the Acer driver but since I had to install it from Safe mode I'm not sure if it took. I did go to the device manager and saw no minitor listed but when I went to see if I could add one none show in the list. Was "monitor" dropped from XP? It shows in all the other Windows versions I...

I just got the same problem but different computer. Mines an Acer but whatever. Safe mode is fine but I get the black screen after the loading part in normal. I thought it was hardware until I used a win98 hard drive I had lying around. That works great, even at 16 bit res.. I got the Dell XP...

Have you tried a different player? Test the sound from within the control panel. Try the Windows Startup and listen for both channels. If you only get sound on one channel with something else then you most likely have a bad connection. You can clean the plug with alcohol. Also, try dipping the...

Well, I'm stumped. Perhaps it's the order of install®. I went through the most of it and I still have the refresh. Win 98SE© then the toolbar IE5.5 (I need for NSW) NSW2003®© Video drivers MS Office 2000® Acrobat4.0® Sygate 5.5® WinZip 7.0® I even put in DirectX 8.1 thinking that would do it. It...

Well, I did a clean install and it's there. Now I have to start loading the progs.

Positive, but it was early on, before I added all the other progs. I usually do Windows 98SE, then NSW2003, then Office 2000. After that small stuff like Paint shop etc. I'm not sure when it goes away but I think I'll start a new system and keep a record. As for the setup of the tool bar it's...

I personally don't like the fan speed. I'm running a XP1600+ with a generic HS/F rated for up to Athlon 1200 (they were about a match heat wise). I'm running right now at 102°F CPU, 69°F in the box and only get to about 115-120° if the ambient reaches 90°F and I work it. My CPU fan runs about...

I set up a toolbar for Workgroup and somewhere along the line the "refresh" option disappears from the right click menu. I think installing other software, possibly NSW or Office 2000 removes it from the registry but I don't know where to look. I know it was there. Any thought on how to get it...

Is it just .doc files or do find this elsewhere. I can only point out what the obvious might be. It sounds like "open with single click" got turned on. I don't know what OS you have so you'll have to check your help file for directions.

Sygate has a backtrace and whios. This is what I got. First it says IANA, then further down it has "Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Number". When I cut that and did a google search it came up with a bunch of ICANN stuff. I was guessing. OrgName: Internet Assigned...

I wonder if anyone has any thoughts on this. I have a cable ISP with a Toshiba PCX2200 modem, Linksys BFSR41 4 port NAT router and Sygate Personal Firewall. Currently I run 2 full time computers and 2 lines I use for testing and building for a hobby. My question is about two frequent UDP's, the...

I have a thought. Feel free to disagree. Do you have a stick of PC2100? Try that to match the CPU and see if it posts. I did read that these boards a picky about using 333. If it does, maybe you can set the CPU/DDR speed, power all the way off and try the 333.<br>My two cents worth.

I thought I could find the answer using google, oh well. Here are my questions. I have an HP 8565 with onboard video which is fine for what I need. Just email, light surfing and word processing. Since it also has an AGP slot as well as PCI what do I set in the BIOS, PCI or AGP, that's what I...

I've been to the Fujitsu Siemens site and tried to track parts but thier support is very limited in the US. I think thier home base is in Germany. Lots of pages in German. I guess I'll hold off or part it out online. Thanks for the input.
