    I'm trying to help a friend install NAV 2008. He had NIS installed, but it won't uninstall via Add/Remove Programs. I downloaded and ran the Norton Removal tool numerous times both in normal and in safe mode. I disabled all programs in startup. When tying to install NAV 2008, it immediately...

    I'm experimenting with setting up a server (Win2000 Server) in my home. Is there any inexpensive antivirus software available for just the server without having to buy a license pack?

    Customer has an ECS mobo socket 478. The black plastic housing that surrounds the cpu and holds the clamps for the heat sync is broken. The plastic tab broke off so it will no longer hold the bracket in place for the heat sync. Can this part be replaced without replacing the entire mobo? If...

    Dell Proprietary PSU's

    I know that older Dells used proprietary power supplies with non-standard pinouts. From what I can find, it seems they went back to standard pinouts around 2000.

    Stand Alone Virus Scanner

    I'm looking for a stand-alone (preferably free) virus scanner that is updatable and won't interfere with existing antivirus applications. I typically use Trend Micro's Sysclean, and download the updated pattern file weekly. The problem is it takes so long to run. I've used Stinger...
