    The more information that is posted about your hardware, and software, the easier it is too look at the problem. > You just mentioned in your second post that the programs that you have had lockup and not fully install where on your hard drive. So, I am assuming that these are files that you...

    Unwanted program hangs on startup

    ...that does have "OPENME.EXE" in it....... or, as Kento suggested about this, a mystery line that has something like the 5-2-46-112.exe. * UNCHECK that line. Reboot. Then run that process as suggested above. * After it is all done, I would also suggest running REGCLEAN, to...

    USB Scanner will not let Scandisk run

    It isn't really a problem, so to speak, as everything you describe is normal. Your scanner software, and scanner, are "pinging" the computer, to make sure that you have a connection; everytime this happens, you interrupt the Scandisk, and it makes it start over. So, you know what you...

    Can't get application to run.

    Did you actually get this CBI Visual Basic program to load up on XP ? ( or is this an error when you are trying to just load the program from your CD-ROM ?) If you did get it to load, is this error occurring when you are then trying to start the program. Post more info.

    Which is better quality and less noise

    MAXTOR I build them for a living, and MAXTOR and IBM's are the only HD's I use. They both have great service, and they don't haggle. If the choice is WD or MAXTOR, it isn't really a choice.

    Problems with homepage- Could MB be the issue?

    Cocoa2424 I would repost this problem of yours, in the Windows 98 /95 forum,,,,, (or if there is an IE forum). You might want to combine the information that you have supplied in both posts, into one post, and give that a shot. I would really like to know how to fix that. It is...

    CPU temp - Athlon 1400mhz...

    ...I have used them, sometimes, but it doesn't really matter, if you have multiple case fans, and a good CPU FAN / HEATSINK combo. And !!!!! * Get some THERMAL GREASE, when you order the fan. SOME, I SAY SOME FANS, come with the grease. Find out,......... Clean that rubber junk off the base...

    geforce 3 or 4?

    ASUS P5A-B, with K6-2 voodoo 3 3000 problems

    Well, you could post more information about your system. What OS are you trying this with ? > Last: It is very possible that you didn't get a clean install........... of the drivers. Did you also install a newer DirectX version, like 7 or 8.1 ??? ( Hopefully also, you got the last...

    hard drive speed

    The difference in price isn't that much, say $20 - $30 to go from a 5400 RPM to a 7200 RPM. ** The difference is HUGE, in overall system performance if you want a high-performance computer, ESPCCIALLY in todays games (the high end 2001 / 2002 games), and the upcoming games. I would...

    PC boot problems/will not post

    I guess, my suggestion is, to take it to a professional. Have the CMOS reset. Have the BIOS flashed to the newest version. *** UPDATE ** You have the 1009 - which Asus says is the latest version for the CUSL2-C. *** NEW BATTERY in the mainboard. This effectively resets the CMOS settings...

    CPU temp - Athlon 1400mhz...

    ...(noisy, but they work hard) and extra case fans. I'm a little surprised your computer isn't locking up on you at that high of a temperature. *********** ALSO: I don't always trust just one test. It it says TOO HIGH, like that, and you have all the hardware that you have, then maybe it is...

    CPU DDR Ram + AMD XP Issues

    It could be your BIOS is out of date, and will NOT recognize the new Athlon XP CPU. You may also be having an issue with the 512 MB DDR RAM module, maybe it is not working in conjunction with the Mainboard BIOS. > I suggest you check what BIOS version you have. > Compare that to the...

    Video Errors

    In Windows, do you possibly have the resolution set to high for the monitor ? How about the refresh rate ? What happens, in regular Windows, (after setting these in safe mode) when you boot up using,,,,,,,,,,, 800x16 and 256 colors ?

    Is there any way to get more IRQ's?

    ...hardware, the MODEM / NIC. See what happens. You should be fine. IRQ 9 will share it just fine, if something doesn't switch to IRQ 3 or 4. > * note - it isn't "Bill" at all. This isn't a Microsoft issue, as it's all about hardware and industry standards. Microsoft didn't invent...
