    Need help w/ disassembly!

    Hmm, not for this case. The top and sides are all one piece. The bottom is more or less connected as well, I haven't been able to remove that either.

    Need help w/ disassembly!

    Hey [H]'ers, my brother gave me an old Compaq 5834 as an early christmas gift (he knows I'm always on the lookout for spare computer stuff with which to mess around). I'm really digging this case, the interior is huge and it's just begging for some plexi :D Now I'm no beginner with...

    Need help networking XP and 98 machines

    Yeah, it was Norton. Leave it to the n00b to think that Norton would automagically know that the computer on the same network should have access rights ;) Store this experience away for a later botched job! :D

    Need help networking XP and 98 machines

    Nope, firewall is disabled in XP. Actually...now that I think about it, would Norton Internet Security be causing problems? That is currently the only thing installed on the xp machine.

    Need help networking XP and 98 machines

    IPconfig does show the correct ip address and subnets of 255.255.255.0 As far as pinging the loopback address, that seems to work fine, if I type ping localhost on the xp machine it pings normally. To the best of my knowledge, all the networking components are installed, it's a brand new...

    Need help networking XP and 98 machines

    I am trying to set up a quick network between an older HP win98 machine (mom's old computer) and a new XP machine (mom's new computer). I have the two joined via a crossover cable. I am about as green as you can get when it comes to networking, so be gentle. Both machines are set to the...

    Thanks for the read! I'll definitely look into memory testing.

    system file in system32\config folder

    I guess I should ask this: what exactly does that error mean? Can anyone help me with that? I have one friend who thinks it has to do with my motherboard and another who thinks it has to do with the hard drive itself. Since the controllers are on the motherboard though... ...I don't know...

    system file in system32\config folder

    Nope, everything is running at stock speeds. I have tried swapping out IDE cables, sorry. Just regular thin wire ribbons is what I'm using, I forget the proper name. Oh yeah, the RAM. I suppose I have not tried that, anyone got any PC133 lying around I can test with? :D

    system file in system32\config folder

    I have had a recurring problem on my computer. At bootup, sometimes I will get a message just before the first XP startup screen (the cursor bar at the bottom that fills to white) that states that the c:\windows\system32\config\system file is corrupted. At that point, I have to boot from my XP...

    Power Question

    Yeah, I figured as much. Unfortunately at the time I had no money at all but still needed a computer for my schoolwork. So I got what I could get. My plan was to get a new motherboard and memory, I was looking at a new gigabyte board with matched pair of corsair memory. That would be...

    Power Question

    I am looking to upgrade my video card from a geforce 2 mx200 to an ati 9800 pro 128mb. From what I understand, the 9700 and 9800 cards are extremely power hungry. Given that I am not a well of money (yeah, like anyone is!), I do not want my el-cheapo power supply to die and take my expensive...
