I have a PC that I built about 5 years ago that uses PC2700 DDR RAM memory. What would happen if I purchased 1.0 gig of the newest spec RAM, say a DDR2 667MHz strip with the same pin configuration as the old RAM and put it in the old PC? Would it just operate at the slower buss speed or refuse...

Just got this giant new Sceptre X22 LCD monitor from Costco, hooked it up to my AGP Geforce2 card (old, I know) with an analog cable and I have trouble! The video card will give me a 1600x1028 resolution but the clarity is no good - fonts have jaggies, etc. The native resolution is 1680x1050...

I have increasing times where my PC runs VERY slow and apps often lock up. During these slowdowns, Task Manager shows "svchost.exe" is running at 99% CPU usage. ZoneAlarm log shows svchost.exe is attempting to send packets to an IP address in Sweden! PC reboot resolves problem for a while...

My computer usage does NOT include gaming which seems to be the obsessive focus of all video card manufacturers. Which genre of card would be best for business applications to include occasional use of graphics programs like PhotoShop?

I was given an older US Robotics 56k external modem but do not have the cable to connect to the serial port of the PC. I know I need DB25M/DB9F but don't know if I need to buy a straight through serial or a "Null modem" cable. Help - Thanks.

I've tried a couple of different products - Spybot, Spyware Blaster, Ad-Aware, XoftSpy, and most recently Microsoft's new Anti-spyware. Why is it that they all find different spyware/adware? I can run them in succession, perform cleanups and it seems that every subsequent software product will...

I recently purchased a new Brother HL-5140 laser printer. Now when I use my Epson Perfection 1240U scanner to make photocopies using Epson's Copy Utility v2.00A software, I get a squashed image printed. It's the correct width but only half high. I have spent a lot of time attempting to adjust...

I'm told that Matrox video is superior for 2-D video, great for high res graphics work, but, of course, not for games which doesn't bother me. Are the drivers for WinXP stable? I had some major driver problems with a Radeon 9600XT recently and had to return the card. I have an Iiyama...

We are feeding HL7 (v2.1) ADT messages from our HCIS ADT module into Biztalk 2002 and need to filter output to a client on three specific clinic locations found in the PV1-3_1 Assigned_Patient_Location.Point_of_Care field. Our interface analyst is relatively new at working with Biztalk and XML...

Do the new PCI-Express video cards require a motherboard specifically designed for the product? Or is it backwards compatible to any PCI slot? I know... performance would be reduced if backwards compatible.

I have an older (only 3 years!) MSI K7T266 Pro (MS-6380) motherboard that only has a USB 1.0 connector. What will happen if I connect a USB 2.0 memory card reader device? Will it refuse to work or just run slow? What are my options, other than buying a new motherboard?

Yesterday I installed the latest WinXP Service Pack 2 and following installation, my Internet Explorer won't connect to the net. ??????

What's up??? My computer has turned into cold molassas when it boots up! It takes about 2 minutes after the desktop appears before any program will work. The icons are there but either won't respond when clicked or the hourglass appears for about 3 seconds but the program won't open. I wait a...

My Norton Internet Security popped up a message that "xmmtnl.exe" was attempting to access the internet. I ran three different spyware detectors, it wasn't flagged as bad. It resides in my Windows System32 directory. Is this a normal Windows file or something else?

Just installed a VisionTek ATI Radeon 9600XT video card with the latest drivers downloaded from VisionTek. My PC is MSI MB with AMD Athelon XP 2200+ CPU. Since I installed the video card, the PC sometimes locks up, blacks out (then returns) and occasionally does a total crash and restart. ???????

My Windows XP Pro started getting very slow and eventually all apps refused to open. So... I reinstalled Windows XP Pro. During the install process, it claimed to delete the previous Windows XP install. However, now when I start my computer, it presents me with a black screen and simple white...

Can BizTalk automatically truncate a field length for you as the data passes through? I have two applications exchanging HL7 messages and there is a field length disparity. For various reasons, we cannot change the field lengths in either application so some messages reject. And... If anyone...

I have XP Pro both at home and work. At home, the title font for desktop icons is floats over the desktop graphic, it isn't surrounded by a box. At work, the icon titles are in the box with the base desktop color as the background. How/where can I set my work computer to have the same...

Other than for heavy duty gaming, what is the 3D capability of a video card good for?
