If you have an ATi Radeon card and want to overclock, [url="http://atitool.ocfaq.com/"]http://atitool.ocfaq.com/[/url] is where you need to go. Otherwise, google for Rivatuner or Powerstrip for other options.

The reason for this behavior is that something happened to the "family" profile, and when Windows went to create a new family profile, it tacked on the machine name to the profile directory, hence the "family.family." I'll place good money on that. If it's not the machine name, I don't …

What's the "Techtalk Colleague" moniker mean? Haven't met you, but glad you're here. :)

You can "obtain" Novell, but using that server/client software is effectively like shooting yourself in the foot. It's a not an intelligent idea, and will cause you nothing but pain. The clients are free...the services those clients connect to on a server are not free. edit: I'm only editing this …

Ever slipstreamed? You can get SP3 at the very least, SP4 if you're feeling adventurous or masochistic. Take your pick. Anyway...are you slipstreaming the Multi-Language stuff on top of the normal installation? Can that be done? What I've done is slipstreaming an SP3 disk with quite a few updates (SP4 …

Or you could purchase a Radeon 9600 Pro for less than that 5600 and have stellar frame rates, along with some AA and AF to boot. nVidia is a joke. They don't care about image quality. It's all about the frame rates, and that's a war they've been losing steadily …

250 watt? :lol: Yes, it's time to upgrade that too. With the new video card especially, you're drawing a lot of power from the PSU, and that's why you're having the freezing issues. It only happens when the card is doing a lot of 3d graphics work (games), and that's …

You're going to have to do some firewall trickery to get this to work correctly, unless you change the ports for VNC/RD. It's all open session/authentication as well, so you'll probably want to use SSH.

Hey yeah, what about ah-hoc mode? You're probably in infrastructure and don't know it. Poke around in the wireless utility.

Look up the Abit NF7 (or -S model). Rave reviews about that particular board, especially with the 2500+ Barton's. With the retail heatsink, expect no less than 2.2GHz, with little or no voltage increase at all. It runs at a default clock of 1.833 GHz on a 166 MHz FSB …

The auto-negotiation of the Linksys boxes all similar to yours (and mine even) get screwed up more than often, or just don't work at all without the necessary trial-by-error. I know it's kludgy, bu that's how it goes. Off topic: Did you mean for your nick to be Peg? O …

Just ignore it. I know it's a little cumbersome to have that box pop up after removing the pen drive, but it's mainly because 2k sucks at handling stuff like that. Don't like the popup? Use XP instead. I know it's not a true fix, but it's better than 2k …

[QUOTE=alc6379]Just an FYI: According to Tom's Hardware guide, Serial ATA drives have almost caught up with SCSI in terms of speed and reliability. Those used to be the big things with SCSI-- speed and reliability. But, considering that Serial ATA is in between Parallel IDE and SCSI in terms of …

For that you have to talk to Microsoft directly. Or acquire a VLK.

That's the problem with Ghost, it sees the hard drive as the old one, which really doesn't help things because of the way Windows addresses disks like that. Same make/model, it's no problem...toss a Ghost image on another drive and you could be looking at a neatly packaged headache. Backup …

[QUOTE=stars1234]Is there a way to do this without having to reflash the BIOS and build up the OS table from scratch--perhaps a registry entry?[/QUOTE] No. You can't change the system drive location without reinstalling. Windows does not play well when you perform such trickery on it!

Right-click the taskbar, and click properties. Click the Start Menu tab at the top of the window, then the Customize button on whichever option you have. If you have the default start menu applied, you'll have to click on "Advanced," then "Clear List" on the bottom of the window. With …

It's the onboard video. Anything is a step up from onboard. As in other threads, I would strongly suggest you build another system before dropping cash on a PCI video card. The "gains" you'll see won't be worth the $80 you'll spend on that card. Might as well buy a …

No slot or a slot with no card? If you don't have the slot, build a gaming machine yourself.

I'll keep saying this, but buy a new motherboard and an AGP video card. For what it's worth, the FX5200 sucks. It's on par with a castrated Radeon 8500. Stick with ATi.

iomega.com, look for drivers? It's not hard. Download, install, reboot, it works.

LBA? Jumpers set correctly?

Turned automatic updating off?

Any beeps? No? Process of elimination. Check the video card and RAM to make sure they're seated correctly. Hell, take them out and reseat them fully if you so desire. Nothing? Unplug the power cable. Take everything out of your case, including the motherboard. You can leave the processor, heatsink, …

More RAM never hurts anything, but 98 has issues with anything above 512MB. If you add another 256MB stick, you'll be fine. Are you serving music, editing? You should upgrade, regardless.

Hit up windows update and check for drivers. But a Vanta LT is a pretty common card for Presarios. Check Compaq's site, they have things called "Softpaqs" that may have what you need.

[QUOTE=Faranth]all my computerrs run NT 5.X ;D[/QUOTE] Amen to that.

The best thing you can do with OEM machines like this is call up the manufacturer, tell them your problem, and if the product is still under warranty, they will fix it. Since you took the side panel off however, you have probably voided said warranty. [url="http://www.memtest86.com"]www.memtest86.com[/url] Download it, boot …
