HI :) XWB - I didnt have a installation disk, but I made one from a Windows 7 Home edition machine and that didn't work because it was a 32 bit version and the new computer is a 64 bit. tpadowner - you are the best :) I have been working on this for days. Ive gone through forums and watched...

I just purchased a desktop pc with Windows 7 Professional installed from a local business that just closed its doors. When I booted it up and got to the Windows log in screen, I found out that I don't have the log in name and password. I thought it would have the option to log in as a guest or...

Hello Im running windows 7 home premium. Ive been making FLV. movie files to upload to my website. When I first started - I couldn't get the flv. files to show a thumbnail. I installed the K lite codec pack to correct this. Now when I produce a new video the file shows the thumbnail like I...

This is a 2.5 GHZ Celeron - 512 MB RAM - Running XP pro - all other components are onboard. When you turn comp on it just keeps restarting. It gets past the xp splash screen then goes black and restarts. Can't boot to safe mode or any other mode. I removed HD and hooked it up externally to...

It does not recognize the wireless init :( When I run the wizard for multiple monitors it ask for s video or composit or rca - It doesnt have vga in the list ?? I guess Ill got to radio shack and get a s video to rca adapter and see if that will work. Will the s video out on the video card...

Actually I got the wireless video sender to sent the signal from the pc to my tv. I got a VGA to RCA adapter to go to the wireless unit. The problem is I cant get the DVI and VGA to work at the same time. The card also has a S video out but I dont have the adapter yet for it. I was hoping to...

Hello I have a Nvidia Geforce 6600 video card it has DVI and VGA outputs. Ive got my LCD monitor using the DVI output. Im trying to use the VGA output for my TV. I cant get a signal from both at the same time. When I go to the settings in the Nvidia control panel it will not let me pick VGA...

Check your memory sticks. I have had this happen a cpl times. Just last week I had a computer that stopped. Caps looked good and board looked good. I knew th PS had gone bad so I switched it with another and still nothing. Finally I got a extra stick of ram and switched it out and it started...

Thanks for all of your advise. Im going to try the benchmark suite and see how it turns out. I was really surprised but with all the mixed memory in the pc - it still ran stable. Maybe that is because the bus system was slowed down to 533 mhz. But anyway Ill post back and let you know what...

Actually that is what Im doing for the time. I just hate for the other GB to just sit there :( Thanks for the advise. Terry

I was upgrading my ram on my PC. I got a good deal on 1 GB of DDR2 6400 Gaming ram. I already had 512 MB of DDR2 4200 and 512 MB of DDR2 5200 installed. Will the slower ram (4200 & 5200) Slow down the 6400 ?? Would it be best if I just put the 6400 in by itself or is it ok to just leave them...

Hello I just bought the Acer AST180 PC. It has the Nvidia Gforce 6100 onboard video 256 MB. The motherboard I can't find anything on it - its a MCP61SM-AM. Anyway it has a 16X PCI slot for video upgrade. My problem is this. I went into the bios and changed the frame buffer size from auto to...

Thanks GOAOZ I inspected my board and found many swollen and leaking capacitors :( A hard drive would have been so much more simple !! Any way does anyone know what brand of motherboard I can get - that I can feel certain will have good capacitors. Thanks for all the help

A friend donated a 20 GB HD to me - LOL. Im going to load windows on it and see if it stops freezing. If so then Ill get a new HD if not then I guess its the power supply next. Thanks for all the help :)

I just got everything backed up.:) Its shutting down after about 2 or 3 min now. Everything you do it freezes. But still if I stop and boot up and run the drive scanner it doesn't freeze and shows no errors. It only freezes after windows loads ?? (which makes you think its software) But its...
