Hi there - I am not sure if this is the correct forum - but I could do with some help or advice. I recently made an order over the internet with a company based in Seattle. It was for a childrens English language video course. The company did not respond to the order in any way - but did debit...

Hi- It has puzzeled me for a long time as to why data transfer speeds are not the same as the quoted specs. For instance - USB 2.0 is sold as a device that transfers data at 480Mb/s - but it doesn't! Network cards of 100Mb/s also don't! If someone could fill me in on the facts and reasons for...

Does anyone have any recommendations for a motherboard based on the above? It needs to have integrated 4X AGP and USB 2.0 - and it needs to be REALLY cheap!!!! I have done a few searches - but I'm hoping someone already knows the answer!! Kim. 'Everybody is ignorant - only on different...

Hi- I have an Asus A7V333 mobo with an on board Promise Fasttrack Lite RAID. The RAID array is set up fine - and works with no problems. My question is:- How does DMA work with something like this. I can't find any settings in device manager or the BIOS which says wether it is setup or not. The...

Hi all- I downloaded the new build of Ad Aware today (6.181) It found several things the previous build didn't - amongst others - WinShow and WinLink. WinShow had already been causing IE to crash on certain websites and after Error reporting to Microsoft they directed me to Pest Patrol who said...

Hi all - I recently was forced to totally re-install XP pro. I reformatted the drive and re-installed with no problems. All updates were then installed. Now while surfing IExplorer often minimizes the screen - seemingly randomly - for instance if I follow a link it will sometimes stay at maximum...

We use a laser printer in a network which is at present connected via TCP. It prints very slowly - especially graphics. Would it be better to connect it via a parallel printer cable tp LPT1? Kim. 'Everybody is ignorant - only on different subjects.' Will Rogers.

I ran AIDA32 last night on my system and noticed that I have put a CDRW on the Primary controller with the system hard disk (master and slave). On the second controller I have a CDR. This was probably because at the time I thought that I would be able to copy CD,s faster that way. Now I realise...

Hi- Maybe someone can help on something that is very irritating! My machine won't record the logon cookie from tek-tips - if I tell it to save it it says that it has - but the next time I try to login I have to do it all over again. I have cookie handling set to Medium in IE, and tek-tips is a...

Hi all, Does anyone know of a good utility that will allow user management in XP - in particular that will allow easy management of permissions, group policies etc. Kim.

OK - At present I have an ASUS A7V333 mobo with onboard RAID controller and I am thinking of upgrading to the A7N8X. 1.Am I looking at a full re-install of all the hard disks to do this? 2.Can you take a RAID array off one controller and plug it into a new one without losing the data? 3.Will...

I am hosting my own website at home behind a router and Sygate Firewall. The last two days I have been under attack from the Code Red worm. It doesn't seem to be getting through - Sygate is detecting and stopping it. Is there any way to actually stop the attack? Is there any chance it will...

Hi all - How can you change the boot order in a lilo bootloader. The machine defaults to the first OS if I just switch it on and don't pay attention - so I need to make the first OS the one I need to use the most - i.e. Windows not Linux. Thanks - Kim Leece.

Sunday I was in my local computer store (in Japan) and I noticed someone buying an IO/DATA 256MB USB ram module. I've never seen anything like that before and was curious if anyone knows anything about it or has any comments on it's usefulness!! I don't think it was a RAM disk - just memory -...

Hi - I would like some advice! I want to install Mandrake 8.0 on a laptop that has a factory install of XP on it. The disk was partitioned with two NTFS volumes (one is c: the other has no drive letter - I think it's for the laptop hibernate function) it has one more partition which has the NEC...

Hi all, I have recently downloaded the iso's for redhat 8.0. Unfortunately the machine crashes completely almost as soon as the install starts - the machine is a Gateway Profile with a AMD K-6 proc. I am now wondering if I might do better with one of the other distributions - and so would like...

Hi - I have already posted this in the Office forum but received no replies. Maybe someone here has an answer! - I have a strange problem. I have made a site using Frontpage 2002 on a machine that runs ME. I published it to another machine that is running XP, with SP1, and although it allowed me...

Hi. I have a strange problem. I have made a site using Frontpage 2002 on a machine that runs ME. I published it to another machine that is running XP, with SP1, and although it allowed me to publish the site, gave a message that said that the verion I was using on the first machine has more up...

Hi all - Can anyone explain to me something about cpuidle.exe. Is it really worth to have this program running? Why, if it is only for CPU cooling, does it access the net? - (as reported to me by my firewall) It seems to use a huge amount of memory - and I really wonder if it's worth it. I'm...
