My friend's laptop apparently has an issue that is quite commonplace with these Toshiba's, but I'm still quite baffled as to completely trace the real root of the problem. So here's the issue: Upon power up, the longest I can get the screen to stay lit is about 45 seconds, before the display...

hi all, this is actually on a computer here in our office, but anyways: Occasionally Outlook will lock up and freeze and attempting to view attachments (e.g. Word/Excel documents - forwarded messages seem to work fine). When this happens, the only way to get around it is to go to the task...

mmkay it's been a while since i've set foot here, so not sure where this goes i have a Biostar 512MB GeForce 6800XT in my machine right now, but it's running a bit warm (59*C idle, gets up to ~84*C under load), and i don't have much trust in the MTBF rating of the stock cooler so yeah, before...

ok, so it's been ages since I've made a post here........ with that said, let's move on. this problem affects my Athlon XP configuration - everytime I let Windows let the BIOS determine my HDD speed (defaults to UDMA/100) and restart, it works fine. No problems there. But if I reboot again or...

Anyone know how to get 32-bit color depth under Blood 2? Running Windows XP Pro here, with the latest game patch applied (2.1), but there is no way for me to get a resolution with 32-bit color (either by using the software renderer or D3D) It's quite funny, since I was able to get 32-bit...

I got an old laptop laying around with WFW 3.11 installed on it, and I also have a Win95 upgrade CD. Problem is, the laptop doesn't have a CD-ROM drive, nor do I have an external drive. All I need is the contents of the \WIN95 folder. I've noticed that many of the .CAB files are 2000k, of...

My 20.5 GB WD 205BA recently failed of unknown causes, at least undeterminable to me (after 3.5 years of operation). I first got suspicious when it started power-cycling at random intervals and froze the system. Then afterwards I reboot and get nothing but repetitive clicking noises and...

ehh..... kicking me off for going over the bandwidth limit in a week's period - still aint gonna stop me stoopid comcast :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

just got one of these today as a present, but wanna get this thing folding so badly - but somewhat of a n00bish question - is there even a Windows CE version of the client? :lol:

been findin' out what's been cuttin' the production - somebody deleted F@H off my folding boxes :mad: :mad: i gotta find out a good way to hide the shutdown query, whenever it has to be shutdown (this is under Win98SE, running the F@H console version, BTW), and keeping in mind that people...

we've be havin' some unsually hot weather down here in umm - let's just say *A$$-land* :p - and unfortunately today, the A/C down in the office broke down. this is running in a closed, bolted-shut mid-tower case with 2 exhaust fans + 1 intake, using a Volcano 6u+, with an Athlon 1 GHz (TBird)...

To start it off, I am trying to find out the stepping revision of my Gainward GF3 card, without physically removing the heatsink/fan This is just a small question, rather, as 3DMark 2001 SE (build 330) and WCPUID both detect it as stepping revision A3, but PowerStrip (3.30) and RivaTuner report...

hi I've got an ABIT KR7A133 mobo with an Athlon XP 2000+; however if I boot up at 133(266) MHz FSB, the system will lock up while attempting to load Windoze or stop midway with a corrupted on-screen error message reading 'WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 file is corrupt... blah blah blah.' I can boot up with a...

... until my friend (whom I purchased the board and CPU from) is able to determine the problem with it. I've tried just about everything, and either it would refuse to boot up completely, or lock up midway though the Windows startup. Even resetting the BIOS values didn't help at all - same...

OK, here's the dilemma: I got a laptop here without any floppy drive (internal or external) - just a DVD-ROM drive. What I want to know is if I need to use additional software such as Partition Magic to run a dual-boot with Windows XP Home and Mandrake 9.0 (don't ask, I just need to get this...
