Vacunita is right. However, at 1680 x 1050 resolution you WILL see a serious drop in performance unless you have a top of the line video card. So yes, do lower the in game resolution. If the game supports it choose a wide screen resolution (even if its lower) to prevent stretching or black...

Yes, they should. The two cards can be of whatever make and model - as long as your PC recognizes both, they will run together. I had a modern ATI Radeon running alongside a legacy PCI S3 card, and since my PC recognized both, they ran fine alongside each other.

Judging by the noise it sounds like a mechanical problem. I'd also say it's about to fail. Can you identify WHICH drive exactly is causing the problems? If you get an HDD controller error for drive D: then most likely that's the bad drive, especially since you say you get no problems if you...

If you go to Administrative Tools >> Computer Management >> Logical Disk Manager, do you see the drive or any partitions on it?

DanWoodbury, you don't need PCI-E. The best resolution you can get with S-video is 576i, or ~21MB/s - which is well under the 133MB/s bandwidth of the PCI bus. You're not likely to see decreased performance of other PCI devices, unless maybe if you have lots of legacy PATA hard drives. 576*720...

Well the hold that the entertainment industry has on usage rights is ridiculous... I just hope they don't start locking content the way cellphone providers do...

If you can see the data on it already on both mac and PC, why do you want to reformat it? If you want to do it for maintenance purposes, you need to copy the 250 gigs somewhere else, format, and then copy it back. Format in FAT32 because Mac's can't write to NTFS (Mac OS X can mount NTFS as...

I'd format and use chkdsk to scan for bad sectors. If you have problems with either of these tasks, or if the disk starts failing again after you've done these, it means its gone, so you should throw it out.

This is the PC hardware forum, i don't think this is the right place for your post

Try updating your computer's and GPU's firmware. The video card seems to be from about the same era as your computer, but nevertheless, old system BIOS can cause exactly the type of problems you're having.

Happen to agree with ceh4702 though, 512MB for a PIII is like 8-16 GB on a modern computer. It might strain whatever method that system uses to POST RAM

I can think of two things: 1. Search Google Shopping - I did that 2. http://www.pricewatch.com/ might have something.

What program are you using for testing? Google doesn't display anything for this search, so it's probably an obscure message used only by that program. Does it have help documentation?

AP81, I know several people who had this problem. In their case, it happened when their computer failed to get a correct IP address from a DHCP server (a.k.a. a wireless/Ethernet router or cable/DSL modem in home networks). Click start >> run >> "cmd.exe". Type "ipconfig" in the command line...

And you're confident the SATA drive is not dead/DOA? The drive is compatible with Windows Vista, but they don't guerantee that drivers for the HDD will be compatible with Vista. http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsVista/en/library/ed1e3b7d-5ea7-4ad3-be3f-af29f7b48dde1033.mspx?mfr=true...

cdogg is right, the symptoms you're describing are very generic. 1. Check to see that you have the latest firmware. 2. Try System Restore to a time when your comp was stable.

Try this: 1. Right click on task and click Properties. 2. Go to Settings tab. 3. Check "Stop the task if it runs for: " or make sure that it is checked. 4. Set the time for 0 hours, 10 minutes (or however long is necessary for the process to finish). 5. If the task terminates before all the...

gbaughma is right - it's a limitation on the root directory of the SD card. Check out this link: http://forums.cnet.com/5208-6141_102-0.html?forumID=8&threadID=214533&messageID=2291820 The guy had almost the exact same problem and fixed it by creating a subdirectory and placing everything...

Yes well that Microsoft article is the most relevant one there is on the web, as far as my search got. The easiest way to fix this is to run system restore from a bootable winxp cd. Check this link out: http://forums.cclonline.com/showthread.php?t=1183 Also, did you try to use last known good...

The problem you're describing is so generic it could mean anything. What I'd try is to use safe mode or a boot disk to log on and disable hibernation (display settings >> screen saver tab >> "Power..." button >> hibernation tab >> uncheck enable hibernation support). Really, try to do anything...
