That's really a tall order for a home type of server. Normally, in an Enterprise environment, all of that is done by proxy servers. For Server 2003, that would mean ISA server. For the spam, that would be a feature of Exchange Server. In your case, you'd probably spend your …

NO... You don't have a virus. Your numlock key is turned on. Notice how those same keys are actually labelled with numbers on them, in a different color? Usually, there's a key to toggle that behaviour. Like, find the key labelled "NUMLOCK" in a different color. Then, hit your Fn …

You can probably just try copying them to the hard drive and launching them. That's how a well-behaved Mac application should work. If you get errors or something, you'll likely have to install the program from the original media, because the installer might need to place extensions in a folder, …

Did you think to simply call Dell, and see if they had that part available? They usually do, especially for things like that, because many of those machines may still be under some type of a hardware contract.

System Idle process is OK to take up 99-100% of CPU time. That's the process that takes up time when no one else is doing anything. As far as the others, you probably want to run some spyware and virus scans. If those turn up anything, feel free to post …

how to ask a question that includes your os type and other relevant information

Buy a 2-port IDE cable, and let one "hang free" temporarily. Just because you only have 1 bay does not mean you can't use 2 drives. It's kind of "ghetto", but it will work in a pinch.

Really, campkev's answer is the best one to give-- just install it, and don't worry about it. There's really no point in asking "why?" on this one, just give it a shot, and see what happens.

Let's not dig up 2.5 year old threads. Closing thread-- please open a new thread to discuss your issue.

Nope. MS doesn't distribute that theme for anything but MCE. If they did, that'd just be one less reason for people to buy a system with MCE on it, as opposed to XP Home.

Locate the Clear CMOS jumper on the motherboard. Pull the AC power from the system, and then pull this jumper off for 25-30 seconds. That will reset your BIOS defaults, including your memory timings. From there, you should be good to go. If you change any BIOS settings that cause …

Sometimes it's just a screw. Sometimes it's a metal coil that holds it together. The only way to really tell is pop off the hinge covers and check it out. Usually, the hinge covers can just be pried off with a flat bladed screw driver, or similar, but you won't …

Probably killed your backlight. If that's the case, you're probably looking at buying yet another LCD screen...

on the second computer, while connected to router: Click on Start -> Run and type [b]winipcfg[/b] Please tell us what it says for the system's IP address and default gateway.

There are ways to fix this, but they require the Windows XP disc. [url]http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545/en-us[/url] You'll have to find or borrow one in order to do it. Further, if this fix didn't work, you'd need to locate a disc still, because your next step is to reinstall Windows.

Most of the time, there's not much you can do about it. My suggestion-- just become a more careful typist, and save your work often. Additionally, you might be able to check in Control Panel for a touchpad option somewhere. There might be something there, if there is a way …

which part does it freeze on, exactly? "During installation" can be at any number of points, and each could indicate something different.

PC800 is RDRAM. You need to replace RDRAM in pairs on most systems, and all of it has to be the same speed. Truth be told, PC800 RDRAM is UNGODLY expensive. Keeping in mind you are recommended to upgrade in pairs, I saw a guy spend over $400 to purchase …

LCD could very well be bad. Sometimes, you can pull off the plastic strip above the keyboard, and reseat the LCD cable, but it's not always possible.

It all depends on what you're doing. If you're gaming, depends on the game. If you're doing heavy video/photo editing, it might make a difference. But, truth be told, no matter what you do RAM-wise on that system, you're probably not going to notice it. It still takes a LOT …

Does the card itself have headers for front panel audio? Most cards do. You'd have to find the right cables on your case to plug into those ports-- they're usually labelled appropriately.

What kind of PC do you have? That's kind of important. You might have to completely clear off the partitions on your drive. You might have to use a DOS utility like Clean1k to delete your partition table, and start fresh.

Microsoft doesn't have ME anymore. You might be able to get it from eBay, or something, but I wouldn't recommend installing a 6 year old OS that hasn't had updates for it in over 2 years on a PC these days... you're just screaming, "GIVE ME A VIRUS!" If at …

You probably need to update the BIOS on the machine that is getting the processor upgrade. That machine probably needs to know what bus speeds, etc, that it's going to use for the new chip. As for the other one-- if it ain't broke, don't fix it! Unless you can …

Ok... I'm going to have to step in on this thread before things go too far out. Firstly, don't install a version of Windows that you aren't completely [b]positive[/b] you have legitimate licensure for. That includes OEM software, and of MAPS- type sources where you might not have the license …

Please provide us with more information: What is the model of your system? Have you recently added any hardware? Has anything recently changed, with regards to the computer's setup?

Are you running a DHCP server in the mix, here? What you have to do is add the addresses, along with the systems' MAC addresses, into the reserved address pool in the DHCP configuration. Then, if you have a specific hostname that you want to give those machines, you'd do …

a WAN port is fine. So long as it's the RJ-45 port that Ethernet needs, you'll be OK. Router manufacturers name the port lots of different things, but so long as the routers aren't in the same subnet (looks like you got that part under control), then you should be …

I wouldn't. Unless you know what you're doing, CRT monitors can be VERY dangerous, with high voltages stored for long periods of time in them. Best thing to do is just send it to a recycling center that can deal with the phosphorus inside of the unit. It'll cost too …

If you got those colors right off the bat, I'd suspect a bad/incompatible video card, or it was improperly seated. Most motherboards disable the onboard video when you install a PCI/AGP video card, too. Normally, when you install the new card, you should at least see the BIOS screens, and …

Let me ask you this: What is GAST, and why exactly would you want to do what you're asking? I'm not entirely up on this topic, but I'm sure with more information, others may help, or perhaps I can BS you an answer ;)

I've got the larger-in-size 2.5" 40GB drive from Seagate. I LOVE it. It's powered off the USB bus, so it's like a big thumbdrive. It costs a bit more at $100-120 US, but dollars to data it's a better deal than the pocket drive.

Sounds like you're good to go. Late in life, the 4100 systems shipped with XP, but I don't know if there was a BIOS upgrade that needed to be done or not.

You can try something like SCANDISK in Windows 98/ME, or CHKDSK in XP/2k to try to fix the file. But, if the media in the floppy is damaged, the file is going to be unrecoverable. The only other option would be to check a place like [url=http://drivesavers.com/]DriveSavers[/url], that could recover …

These days, a 1 year old computer is even considered old. HP has used 30 and 90 day warranties for quite some time now. Chances are at this point, your hard drive is indeed DEAD. After all, that's what SMART is supposed to warn you of-- either your hard drive …

you'll probably have to check the tech specs for each chip's manufacturer. I'm not sure there's a place that has each of those listed in some table-like format.

[QUOTE=vitamindew]Ok, thats helped me understand the whole pairing. But that doesnt answer my question with going into 4x512. It talks about pairs, the 2x512 I have now are paired correctly and work. Does the next 2x512 I get have to pair up with my current? Making 4 equally paired sticks.[/QUOTE] …

Are there any peripherals, like printers or USB drives, attached?

I'd wait on a new CPU. CPUs don't always kill motherboards. At least once you get the new chip in, you could return both at once, if they don't work...

Pull all optical drives, hard drives, MiniPCI cards, and RAM from the system. Try it, then. If it still does the same thing, you're probably looking at a bad motherboard.

You simply need to reinstall an OS on the system. All the partitions aren't being recognized by the system, if there even are any. Try to boot from a CD, and install some kind of operating system on there. Heck, even download a [url=http://www.knoppix.org/]KNOPPIX[/url] CD, and try to boot to …

Offhand, it sounds like you hit the nail on the head. The only real way to test it is to remove all devices like optical drives, hard drives, memory, batteries, and MiniPCI cards from the unit, and then attempt to power it up. This ensures none of those devices are …

It WON'T "fry" your motherboard. That's one term I HATE when techs use. It will make the board unusable until the EEPROM is reprogrammed. If it's not replaceable/reprogrammable, then yes, the board is unusable. I reserve the word "fry" for when I cover chicken/pork/beef with flour, and then place said …

First of all, I'd be looking at some kind of warranty exchange thing going on. I presume you have a warranty, right? it could be the motherboard. Without voidng the warranty, I'd remove as much from the system as you could, like the optical drive, the hard drive, RAM, wireless …

I'm not even a real programmer, but I'd have to agree with Narue-- there HAS to be some way to use recursion, or someting to break that up. With what little I know, that just doesn't look very "elegant", or reusable, for that matter.

Maybe this will help? [url]http://www.noah.org/python/https/[/url] Looks to be a Python module that will help you download from HTTPS sites. I assume regular HTTP GET commands, etc, won't work through an encrypted connection.

Try booting into Safe Mode, and actually logging in as the Administrator account-- that may yield better results. If not, you've probably got some spyware that has messed around with your setup. If that seems to have occurred, cut to the chase-- back up your data, and reinstall the OS.

I've got an original sparcstation 5, so I'm in a bit of a different position than you, but give Debian another shot. It had the most trouble-free X configuration that I've ever run on a sparc. You just put in the information that you know (mainly video card type, monitor …

What is the error code when you check the device's properties in Device Manager? That may give you some further clue on how to proceed.

Be VERY careful, though-- sometimes you can pull too much amperage through the fan, and ruin your motherboard because you sent too many amps through it. If you've got a 4-pin fan, just buy a fan controller, and control the speed manually. They're not all that expensive, and you can …
