I would like to know if there is a way to do something. I have a software program that I use that must be run from a website (you click on a button on the website and it starts JAVA and runs the software). I would like to run this software application on a laptop computer that does NOT have an ...

Well I finally got fed up and disconnected the second router from the system completely -- and problem is gone. I put a wireless card in the other PC I had in my office so I could still get on the net with that one.

Well I installed the hotfix for this KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913522/en-us

and...it did NOT fix the issue. And to make matters worse, now it seems like every time I boot my PC up I have this issue (was starting to do this before I installed the hotfix).

Computer in my sig. Here's the situation.

I am about done with the CRT's. The one I am using now is an Envision 19" model that is threatening failure (monitor glitches sometimes and right/left edges compress; have to smack the side of the monitor to fix). I am thinking about "upgrading" to an LCD but have a few questions...

I have two PC's that were running Win98 SE OS because of legacy software that was installed that wouldn't run in a WinXP environment. I recently discovered this legacy software would run in a Win2000 SP4 environment so I upgraded both machines.

Curious what legacy software you're running that has issues with .NET and MDAC updates?

I have traced one of my older software problems to the April 2006 update release from MS for MDAC 2.8 in Windows 98 SE. Trouble is, to find this out I had to delete my Windows directory from the HDD on one PC and reinstall Win 98 SE. I have another machine running the same OS and I don't want to do ...

Huh, yes, I uninstalled all updates I could from the Control Panel > Add/remove programs menu. Then I uninstalled .NET framework the same way.

I have an older laptop that is running older software programs that simply won't work with Windows XP; so upgrading to a newer OS is out of the question. Some of the newer programs I have on this laptop use .NET framework. About 3 or 4 months ago (best guess) something got onto my computer (MS ...

Yea, that seems about the norm idle temp, not full load though. gotta remember that most sensors are off a bit, so its probably loading in the low 50's which is normal.

Upgraded CPU cooling device to a Thermaltake unit I got from a local computer parts retailer for $41.00. Also used the Arctic Silver 5 compound. Highest I see CPU temps getting now is only 42 deg C. Certainly much better than the 60+ deg C I was getting with the stocker.

The new cooling device has ...

Just to give you guys an update on this issue I have been in contact with ATI tech support for a little over a week now and we have been unable to resolve this issue so I am sending the video card back for a refund.

Thanks guys. I am going to look into getting that arctic silver and if that doesn't help matters much I will get an aftermarket cooler.

Downloaded the updated files and installed them as you suggested. However, when I go to install the media center, the computer hangs which requires a hard reset. I am sending ATI an email about the issue now as their support site doesn't show my issue.

I see that Microsoft has released a "new" OS, supposidly written specifically for 64-bit applications. (Windows XP Professional x64). Right now I have Windows XP Pro SP2. Since I have the Pentium D 820 dual-core EM64-T processor; would there be any advantage to upgrading to the XP-64 OS?

I just emailed crucial's tech support asking them if they think their 1GB DDR2 PC2-5300 667mhz memory module will work with the GA-8i945P-G mobo. If it doesn't, I might just spend the extra $25 and get the P-Pro mobo since it is supported.

Crucial only lists support for the GA-8I945P Pro board

get 2 gigs of memory.

If you only intend on gaming, I really don't see the advantage of going dual core. You'd be just as happy with a ~3gig hyperthreading processor.

Also, don't go top-of-the-line with the processor. Spend the money you save on a better video card and more ram.
