Hello
I was going to install the power supply this past weekend and it has a 24 pin main connector.My motherboard is only 20 I am wondering if it is ok to leave four pins from the power supply open?
Thanks alot guys
ernie

yes, its fine to leave them off ,you board doesn't require them

looks nice

soor we don't participate in pirating software .

actually its showing batch file icon over the normal icons on desktop.....

showing over ?
cant you just click on it drag it off ,or use the auto arrange feature ,or are you saying all the icons changed into batch file

Hello.
sure ,they were just likely use to run a command by the MS tech .

hi ,not to be pickey ,but your post makes little sence to meanyway! ,please try explaining it a little better ,like what you actually meany by this ,"its showing unknown program icon for all other programs"what dose a unkown program icon look like ,what is meant by a all other programs ,the use of the word others implies that some icons work!

LS.,

Im working with Windows XP Home. Is it possible to upgrade my Office 2000 to office
2003 with no costs???
Thanks!!

hi,not very likely ,unless you cheat/steal and use a bootleg copy of office ,or someone gives you there old copy of Office ,and even that aint leagal according to Microsoft.
you could try, www.openoffice.org ,its free and open source and compatible with microsoft office .

hi, its possible that the drive just doesn't work anymore

Hi
Unfortunately I have a black screen, I cannot navigate using mouse as when I click on an icon or button the pop up window is blacked out.
thanks

cant imagine what you must have clicked on to cause that ,amybe someone who knows more about what you might have done will see your post or its time to take to computer shop for a hands on look by a comp tech .good luck

now this is just my way of trouble shooting ,as i am comfortable with searching for and downloading and reinstalling driver and what not .
i would go to device manager and uninstall video device ,reboot and see what happens ,you will likely need to reinstall drivers ,make note of video device when in device manager if you try this .

A program I use often is Cute PDF, a free download. It adds what looks like a printer, then when you print your document (any program) choose Cute PDF as the printer. Instead of printing it will ask you for a file name.

hi,poster is looking to change it to a image file ,so they can post it on a web page

i would next try this ,remove Ram chips,and try booting ,if 2 ram chips put one back in and try turning it on ,if nothing remove it and try the other chip.
ram chips are found on the bottom and under a removal cover ,need a small screwdriver ,usually!

i don't know of any keyboard shortcuts for that ,maybe in the bios /setup you ,some thing like setting it to vga mode .

Thank you for your answer caperjack, but I have the manual .

OH, sorry ,didn't see that in first post ,good luck

i see it says this and i assume they mean the bios battery
1=Removing the Battery or Plug-In Module (User-Replaceable)so it must be in there somewhere ,i know most i have taken out of different laptops were in and around[under] the keyboard /mouse pad/palm rest

now this is just an opinion , i would use the 2 gig ,more ram is always better

try a system restore back to before you made the setting change
start/all Programs/accessories/system tools /system restore ,pick a date before the change

her's a service manual ,it may show where the bios battery is ,never looked myself .

make sure in xp you have drivers installed for your network adapter ,check in device manager to make sure that drivers are installed ,winxp will not always have drivers for the device,unless maybe you are using a winxp recovery cd specific to your computer

hi, try hitting f8 on bootup and go into safe mode and see if you fix it

"I have tried to switch back on with mains supply and just battery,"

did you try it with main supply only ,removing the battery

. Three days to click "update" on one computer is ridiculous.

so right ,report them to someone over there head ,they are wasting company time ,and that means money

hi ,pretty sure anything you try will require downloading a program to do it ,and i assume you aren't allowed to do that or you would be able to update adobe ,correct

hi all,
I formatted my pc yesterday & installed my games.. :)

Hello ,and welcome to Daniweb , when you formatted and reloaded window did it/you install video device drivers,
what version of windows are you using

I was using it just with battery supply.

Hello ,And welcome to Daniweb ,so just for clarity ! did you plug it into power source ,or is it still only on battery supply

Hi, don't see what harm it could do ,only help cool the computer in my opinion

recheck all your connections ,make sure the ribbon cables are not in backwards,or you didn't bend any pins

hi, not much need for addin pci devices nowadays for basic/and beyond computing ,the onboard sound has gotten really good ,5.1 highdef and maybe higher ,no need to add a pci sound card .onboard video has improved as well ., im not a fan of Dell/HP and Compaq towers one only one reason,case specific PSU's and motherboard ,cause a problem when you need to upgrade or replace a PSC or Motherboard ,they do have a long life usually ,so inmo if you do buy one from best buy ,go compaq ,then Dell .
would go with at least the intel i5 cpu but if money is there go for the i7

Thank you guys for the reply.

I think the best question that i should have ask is "what dual core processor is compatible with my laptop for processor upgrade?"

only way you are going to find that out here is ,if someone with a laptop just like yours comes by ,with the answer ,contact ASUS for a faster answer

"AD account keeps getting locked out when the user browse the particular site were as other users can browse the link with out problems in this website in internet explorer"

post makes little sense , have you ever hear of punctuation !,..,

Please give me a solution....

reinstall win7

nice site in link ,i think the best place to start is the asus site ,and the laptop manual ,

reread you post and realize i have no idea what a dc motor would do if connected to a LED

I think my heading should be a bit more straight forward

Someone please reply!

.

Hi, no need to BUMP it will get you no where !

I was wondering if I could connect a DC Motor to the HDD_LED pins of my motherboard

Don't think you would hook it to the led pins ,as that is just for turning on the hdd led on the front tower ,and would not supply enough power .

this is a slow time of year [summmer]for help forums ,and you ? is a different one ,as i have never done this before myself ,i can only use common sence to answer ,if you have a motor that is 12 volt you can do it as the max output of a computer PSU is 12 vots

It's a dell laptop so I am kind of limited

hi,start by,buying a can of compressed air to blow out the heatsinc and fan of the laptop

the file will only be available/visual if you go rooting for them in the other/original users acct

hi, i would unplug the hdd and plug it back in ,some time they just get cranky

In my computer Download Accelerator Plus (DAP) this software When i want removing could not open install log file massage is coming then how to remove this software please can anyone advise me please.

try reinstalling it first ,

What can I do?

check cable,,,,,Did you Make sure its connected properly

hi ,boot to safe mode with networking [hit f8 on bootup] and go to www.malwarebytes.org and download the Free program ,install it ,update it ,then run the scan for malicious file on you computer ,chose show all ,then fix selected

Hi, u should check your computer BIOS, to see whether the sound system is enable or disable, you should also check your hardware!

all good idea ,but, winxp was just reinstall on the computer [read first post ],winxp dose not have drivers for sound ,therefor thwey need to install correct drivers

hi,i seen this post when first posted and thought,cant wait to see answers ,but none came ,my first response would be !, why would you be asking this question on a mostly American web site when you are In India

I cant change my screen resolution.i use intelp4(478pin)mercury pi845vgm-agp v5.0 mother board.pl tell me where i can get the vga drivers of this mother board.i can not find the drivers since 7 months.pl help me.

hi,it is possible that you model # is a typo .i find a list of drivers but the letters are reverse GVM not VGM.
anyway have a look here .
http://www.xpvistasite.com/motherboards/mercury/

and here
http://www.mercury-pc.com/downloads_list.php?productid=390

Thank you for your response,
I've found that the motherboard is "Shuttle Inc FS59V10"
I have been to their website but can't find anything at all for this. Maybe its a very old one that they no longer support?
Any other ways that I can go about this?

using cpuz again ,in motherboard section what does it list for chipset.

edit:
download unknown device identifer and it should tell you what audio device is .
http://www.zhangduo.com/udi.html

download ,cpuz program from link below ,run it and check the motherboard section and get the make and model # ,go to makers website and download sound drivers .
http://www.filehippo.com/download_cpuz/

good luck

hi,first thing to do is try another power supply

so its a lanovo laptop ,correct .flip it over the model # should be written on the back

biggest thing you'll fine with the new psc is the lack of plugs for ide drives ,you'll find mostly SATA plugs ,if you have mostly ide drive you will need a few "Y"connectors
