Thanks a bunch! I just didn't know where to start looking for those answers. My real goal is to install ddd for school onto the Linux OS. I absolutely hate gdb debugger and a visual debugger would be right up my alley. I've been spoiled by Borland C++ and now I'm at a point where the...

Sorry, I to resubmit this because I had a screwed up subject... Hey, I'm pretty confused. I've got Mandrake Linux 8.0 installed, but I can't figure out what I need to do to install new applications. I have the KDE desktop installed. 1.) Once I download a file where should I untar/ungzip the...

Hey, I'm pretty confused. I've got Mandrake Linux 8.0 installed, but I can't figure out what I need to do to install new applications. I have the KDE desktop installed. 1.) Once I download a file where should I untar/ungzip the file to and do I need to put the executable portion of the...

Do you have an extra power supply? Maybe try a friends. Often in the case you're describing, the power supply is the culprit. See Maximum PC's February article on Repairing and Troubleshooting PC's. They talk about the "classic dead machine". GREAT MAG!!!

I just bought this GeForce4 card for Christmas. It works wonderfully, but I would like to be able to play some of the REALLY old games that I have lying around. I created a partition on my hard drive for Windows 95 for this reason. The problem is that the video driver does not work. I get an...

My first guess would be a hardware failure - RAM. Especially with the messages about "bad area" and all of the memory addresses listed in your post. Memory can go bad for a multitude of reasons, including environment, handling, and alpha-decay.

I got that argue impulse, but I thought better of it and dug around a little bit. I probably did a search like '' "memory leak" Athlon '', which would pull in some ostensive extraneous variables leading me to the conclusion that Athlons are bad about memory leaks. Actually, I just...

Besides the msconfig thing, I also had to install and use a memory management utility. RAMidle will keep tabs on your system's memory and free up what you need. If I don't have it installed, I can come back to my PC after a few hours and only have 32 megs free!! That's pretty bad considering I...

Why go through all of this - If you just uninstall it from your Programs menu or Add/Remove it from Control Panel, it will remove itself from your hard drive AND your registry. There's a snowball chance in hell that you're going to understand all of the additions that Norton made to your registry!

A dynamic link library file on your Windows CDROM?? Try cleaning your Windows CDROM by wiping it with at clean cotton cloth from the inside edge outward. Sometimes CDROM's get dirty and your reader won't be able to access all of the files. Just a guess.

Ok, here's the question: If you choose a FAT32 file system, how are games in Windows 2000? Does DirectX have problems running games that are run in Win98? I realize that Windows 2000 was built for businesses trying to set up efficient networks, but I want to know more about it - I've heard...

Is the machine running XP Pro using a FAT32 file system or is it using NTFS?

Insufficient error? That sounds pretty good to me, so what's the problem? Sorry, couldn't resist that. Insufficient Memory? Short Term: Try rebooting your computer. Long Term: Download a memory management program like RamIdle.

Then reality strikes: How many offices use Linux?
