    PC Constantly Reboots right before NT Splash Screen (Vid Card problem?

    I do not think this would help because I believe all this would have done is disable any onboard USB controller. The next step would be to get the new USB card to use the same IRQ that the onboard USB controller was using. I can think of two suggestions. First by moving the new card to...

    PC Constantly Reboots right before NT Splash Screen (Vid Card problem?

    There are two problems here. First as wolluf mentioned USB is not supported in NT. The second is IRQ sharing problems. USB cards usually try to use shared IRQ's and this is also not supported under NT. Almost anytime I have seen NT crash at the splash screen it is because of two or more...

    Paparazi -- Ultimate System ??

    Paparazi, I noticed you mentioned in another post about an Ultimate system. Could you provide all the specs or a link if available?. I am looking to build a new machine soon. I am not too into overclocking. I really want good stability but awesome gaming performance as well. Other...

    Hyper-Threading motherboard with AGP 8X ???

    Paparazi, The link you provided does show 4 new MB's that use the new E7205 chipset but it seems they are all still in the beta testing stage. Thanks for the info cdogg, I would guess that you are right about getting little performance improvement in most current games. After thinking...

    Hyper-Threading motherboard with AGP 8X ???

    I was told that XP Pro is the only consumer OS capable of using Hyper-threading. I am more concerned with AGP 8X than Hyper-threading because I am big into gamming and my current rig (1.2Ghz AMD) is starting to struggle with some new games. I thought the new Radeon series requires 8X AGP...

    Hyper-Threading motherboard with AGP 8X ???

    Hello Everyone, I noticed that the new 3.06Ghz Intel chip supports Hyper-Threading. I have been in the market to build a new system and wanted to know anyone's opinion of this technology. Currently a 3.06 hyper-threading processor is $300 more than a 2.8Ghz non HT chip. Is this worth the...

    Know the order to make partitions for 98, win2k, Redhat 8.0, 4th free.

    You cannot use NTFS on all partitions because Win98 cannot use NTFS. I believe you will have to use FAT for your primary partition as RedHat 8.0 cannot use FAT32 (could be wrong on that though). This will limit your C: drive to 2GB. Win98 MUST be install on this first partition before the...

    Building my own pc

    dwilko, I could understand your stubbornness on buying Intel if money was no object. I will not try to convince you that AMD is a great product but you should understand that you will pay quite a bit more for a P4 chip and you should stop asking to find the cheapest prices. Like most things...

    How do I remove a WINXP partition ?

    If you formated the second partion using a file format that dos can not recognize (NTFS,FAT32) this would explain why dos cannot delete the partition. Boot your machine with the WinXP CD in the drive and start the WinXP install. You should be able to get to the hard drive partion screen before...

    Dual-boot apps?

    You will have to boot into WinXP and install everything separately. You could install the application in the same location that they are already installed on the C: drive (ie c:\program files\.....). I have done this in the past with success but the chances of having problems will increase...

    Video Card?

    The chances that two separate cards failed at the same time is small to say the least. More likely it is a software driver issue or some other problem. You can move the cards to another machine unless the Video system is built onto the motherboard "Great minds discuss ideas, average minds...

    HP LaserJet 4550N issue

    Have you tried printing a configuration/demo page directly off of the printer? This should give you a color chart or some kind of picture so you can judge the color. The reason I am asking all of this is because I want to know if there is a hardware problem with the printer or if the problem...

    HP LaserJet 4550N issue

    You did not answer my question on if the color is off compared to what is displayed on-screen or if you try to print a test page directly from the printer. If you think about it, you should be able to see why this is an important question. "Great minds discuss ideas, average minds...

    TWO DOMAINS ON ONE COMUTER?

    I should add.. The reason for this is you can only be a member of one domain at a time but if each domain "trusts" each other they will be able to authenicate users on both domain "Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people.&quot...

    TWO DOMAINS ON ONE COMUTER?

    You need to setup a trust relationship between the two Win2K servers. You should then get a drop-down box at the login prompt to choose which domain you wish to login to. "Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people." --Admiral Hyman G. Rickover
