Hey all, I have a quick question about power point.

What I am doing is this,

I have created a powerpoint presentation, looks very good, but i need to present it in a room that does not have a PC, but it has a DVD player that can play vcd's and stuff like that.

What I was wondering if there was ...

dj_tigger1982

it seams to be a constant noise, I know there is nothing wrong with the hard disk, as it has been able to read and write constantly since i got it.

The noice apears to be like a fan that has nackered ball bearings, I have a chefentec case and it has removable hard disk bays, I tryed removing the ...

Hey there peeps, and a good morning/afternoon or evening to you all.

I unfortunatly have a IBM deathstar (deskstar) hard disk, and by god does it make a hell of a noise when it is in use.

Is there anyway to try and shut it up a bit (apart from thowing it as far as possible)

I have tried securing ...

dj_tigger1982

good idea but u could also kill ur self in the process

can just imagin the police report.......death @ 15:00 hrs, mr smith was killed while trying to cut a blow hole in his very nice acrylic case. his case was perched over the sink and he had a jigsaw in one hand .

Mr smith was belived to have ...

dj_tigger1982

i found that cutting acrylic with a power tool sucks.

It just heats it up, and melts it and sometimes wrecks what u intened to do. If you can run a power tool at very low speed then it will be ok.

I found that the best way (but very very long ) is to use a sharp blade, such as a stanly knife or a ...

I have windows 2000 pro installed on my computer and I have xced some of the background services that run, that are designed for networking and some of the automatic updates that piss you off when running the o/s

I just wanted to know what services and or, what you guys do or install to speed up ...

dj_tigger1982

now which way do u class as side to side, and what way is up and down ???/

I sucured a fan and heatsink to my motherboard on the northbridge chipset with paste and the 2 plastic clips that came with the fan..... lol, and it works like a treat........

cheers Mike

dj_tigger1982

another smashing tip, to keep the heatsink completly level all over the processor, get a shimy. They are cheep as chips and help distribute the pressure of the heatsink.

yeeee ha

:2cool:

I have a copy of norton ghost 2k3, and i am planning to make an image of my hard disk and back it up onto some CD's, one question i have is my floppy disk drive is a well, fecked, and i cannie make a ghost start up disk. I want to know if it is possible to make a ghost start up CD, soo I can then ...

dj_tigger1982

I am thinking of buying a new case, and i seen a few nice little server cube cases, the ones with 2 seperate compartments...one for the motherboard.... and the other houses the hard disks, cd roms and PSU.

I live in the uk and most of the cases I find are from the states and wll cost a lot to ...

dj_tigger1982

noooooooooooooooooooooooo.... AMD rule

I had a k62, and a k63 and a duron, and an athlon, and now an XP, and i have no issues @ all,

They run everyting, and can cope better with the audio editing that I do, where the intel failed.

Mon the AMD ........ live forever

dj_tigger1982

i read this post while i was @ work ,and i decided on how to maximize the airflow, i have a few ideas, and i am gonna try and find out how to get them put into practice.... watch this space

dj_tigger1982

hmmm, good idea, i think i might get on the case.

I had an idea a while ago to improve the air flow in my old case, and it worked, i used some car air ducting that was 60mm wide, and strapping a fan @ the front sucking air in, and one @ the back expelling the air, this ran in a chicane shape ...

dj_tigger1982

OK what you do not say is what type of processor you have.

Is the hard disk you are using new or old? did you buy the PC from a retailer, and if so did you get recovery disks?

There may be a possibility that one piece of hardware is causeing the system to crash and it is trying to find that piece ...

dj_tigger1982

emmmmm....

it should be OK, i have a Geforce 4 440 MX and the fan on that went tits up, soo i needed to get a replacement fan, the one i got was similer to the one u bought, the one that came on the card originally was a 3 pin one with a rpm detection, i replaced mine with a cooler, and quiter one ...

dj_tigger1982

What you will find is that 14 k will be the maximum upload speed that you can load @.

I have a 1 mbit line with a 256 upload and my maximum is 14k per second.

You can get tweek programmes but they only usually make a diffrence to ur download ,

dj_tigger1982

I have a Sound Blaster audigy 1 card, and it rawks
I have had no problems and it runs all my sound applications like clockwork

i use the 5 1/2 inch bay to record the input form my mixing desk, and use the digital cables to and from my mini disk player.

I have never experecned issues with the card ...

dj_tigger1982

thank you very mutchly

dj_tigger1982

hey there all i am installing windows 2000 onto a ;aptop, and it has a ATI Radeon 7500 Mobility graphics card that is onboard, and i can't find drivers for it, i have trawled the internet looking for them ,and found a few but they do not install correctly, and cause windows 2k to blue screen on boot ...

dj_tigger1982

there may be a possibility that you mmight be able to use it as a second monitor, i have seen a few usb monitors that are used as a second monitor on servers and a workstations, that might be a handy thing to keep.

dj_tigger1982

LCD monitors and Gaming.....LOL

As some of the above posts have allready said do not skimp on quality, check out the max resolution and also the refresh rates.

My mate goes to a lot of LAN parties and decided to buy a LCD monitor and he attached his to the side of his case, soo that he only had to ...

dj_tigger1982

I have a Geforce 4 440 mx, with 64 mb ram, i bought it cause my geforce 2 ti decided to go up to silicon heaven.... awhhhh

soo i decided to buy a nice budget card, and the gf 4 440 mx was a good buy at the time, and it still is, it runs all the major gamesat present and will continue to do, untill ...

dj_tigger1982

I would go through a process of elimination,

i had a problem a while back where my dvd drive and my cd writer would eject them selfs from the hardware list, and they would not be accessable any more.

I tryed a few things and found it to be not enough power. I had a 350 psu that came with the case ...

dj_tigger1982

me want one, ohhh may be they can drop sum on Iraq.. lol, that is what they can use intel chips for.. lol

anyway i want one they are kewl

dj_tigger1982

are you just wanting to play only dvd's on the computer... if so why waste your cash, I would just buy a dvd player and 5.1 surround sound package and use ur t.v

dj_tigger1982

yeah just watch that the old hard disk does not keel over and die with all 4 legs in the air.

Ghost works like a treat and helps back up all the valuable data.

dj_tigger1982

by having the scart setting set to out rather than in that will not have caused any damage, and if it did it would be @ the computer end rather than the tv.

I would try unplugging all the connections from the tv, and try running the computer or a arial signal into the tv, also check to see if you ...

dj_tigger1982

have you tried a virus scan on the computer?

if not try one.

I know that when i run outlook express mine automatically looks every 10 minutes for new updates, and mine displays 2 tasks in the task manager only when it does that, but when it is just running in the background it just displays one ...

dj_tigger1982

Ok let me think....

are you just talking about some nornal speakers with no amplifier.

if soo, then they will not work

Yo will need a dolby digital or a 5.1 amp to power the speakers. to get a good one u are looking @ around £200 or above depending on the make and model.

If i was you i would ...

dj_tigger1982

cheers for the links

dj_tigger1982

looks good,

my next upgrade will prolly be a NForce 2 board.

dj_tigger1982

I play div x movies and loadsa other formatts all the time and have no problems

i use a combination of WMP and Real One and Win DVD

i have nemo installed and i get no errors, i ran the full install version and it works with both real one and WMP

Try making sure u have the latest version of WMP i ...

dj_tigger1982

I think i get what you are talking about

for example u have 2 60 gb hard disks and they are both by diffrent manufactures, but when formatted one is a diffrent size to the other.

If so then this question is not about RAID it is about hard disk formatting sizes.

Well if so here is how it goes ...

dj_tigger1982

there is a way to allow u to display the picture on 2 diffrent monitors or alternatively on a tv and monitor

i have a gf 4 440mx (very basic) and it allows u to, there is an option in display setting called mirror, u might need to check to see if u have all the software installed that actually came ...

dj_tigger1982

dj_tigger1982

well u have 2 channels primary master and slave, and secondary master and slave.

U allways put ur hard disk on the primary master and then u add ur other devices to the other ide channels . Say for example u have 2 cd roms on the secondary ide cable , well u just swap the cd rw across to the ...

dj_tigger1982

where did u get the side pannel for ur case... i want one for mine

dj_tigger1982

kewl, nps on the advice, that is what we are here for.

have a good weekend folks

dj_tigger1982

kewl glad u got it sorted

have a nice week end

dj_tigger1982

Ok judging buy what u replyed with it may just be a duff CD RW.

As as said before it can happen, further possibilities before u rush out and beat sumone up over it not working,

---Try swapping the IDE channels
---Try the CD -RW in a different machine (if that option is avalible)

Try those options ...
