    LCD Monitor keeps turning off and on

    We have a new LCD monitor, when first turned on it goes off and back on every 5 seconds or so. That continues for a few minutes, then works normally for a few hours, but the problem starts again if the computer isn't used for a half hour. We're wondering if problem is with the monitor, which is...

    Our TCP/IP protocol got corrupted somehow (perhaps from incompatible VPN software).We've tried a number of suggestions from technical bulletins, and nothing seems to work. The ping command gives: "unable to contact IP driver, error code 2". Ipconfig gives: "internal error, request not supported...

    Notebook keeps turning off and on

    We have an HP/Compaq nc6000 P-4 portable computer. After pressing the on button the power light flashes for a moment, it shuts off then comes back on for just a second, and shuts off again, and keeps cycling like that. We tried holding the on button for 2' to drain excess power, it then came on...

    We have a PowerEdge 2300 with PERC-2, running NT-4. One of the 4 drives in our RAID array went bad. When we go to the PERC BIOS to rebuild it, it says "rebuild in progress", yet it stalls there for more than an hour with nothing happening, no progress indicated. We could reformat it though...

    Corrupt master boot record

    We have a Compaq Deskpro P3, the BIOS has a security feature that checks the MBR during boot up. We keep getting an error message saying the MBR needs to be restored. We then go through the restore/save utility in the BIOS, and it works fine, until the next reboot, where it always displays the...

    Windows could not load the installer for display

    We tried to upgrade some computers from Win'98 to Win'2000, with NTFS. Everything works except the video driver, which is somehow corrupt. It says "Windows could not load the installer for display" every time we try to upgrade or install a new video driver. We've tried a lot of things...

    Duplexer jams only when page is blank

    We have an HP Laserjet 4Si. It prints double sided without a problem as long as there is print on both sides of the page. However if we send a one page document, it always gets stuck somewhere in the paper path, usually near the duplexer. We thought this was a hardware problem, maybe with the...

We're considering maybe going to a different website provider, but would like to keep our exact same internet address. We're wondering if our current provider may own our whole...

    My friend has a Windows XP machine, with one hard drive, formatted as NTFS. We added a second drive, with FAT32, from an older Win'98 machine, hoping to retrieve files from it. It is configured as a slave, and the hardware seems to install with no problem. However when we run Disk Management...

    We are using an Avocent 180 digital KVM to control a number of servers. It was working fine, except we wanted to replace the keyboard and mouse. The new mouse wasn't recognized, so in an attempt to reset the switch, we turned the power off, with everything else up and running. Now the switch...

    LAN speed

    We were wondering how can we test how fast the data transmission is on our LAN, transferring files from one computer to another? I think some 3Com cards come with software to test that, that is launched in control panel. We are using other brands of NICs though.
