    Out of the game, need advice for ~$500

    Well the last time I built a custom PC I was on an Athlon XP and a Radeon 9700, so now I'm really way out of the loop and trying to decipher all these new CPU numbering systems. What I'm trying to do is build a basic PC for 80% home use (web, email, Office, etc) and also to do image editing...

    Very Long AVG Scan Times

    What are people doing with full system scans now that disk capacity is getting so large? I have my laptop with an internal 250gb SATA drive which has about 180gb full, and an external USB 1 TB hard drive, which is about 800gb full, mostly of archival type data, and a few sets of full backups...

    Replacing a laptop HD w/ shock sensor

    I'm wanting to upgrade the hard drive in my Toshiba Tecra M4 tablet. The original 80gb hard drive has a shock sensor and program that parks the heads when shock is detected. In general, do most replacement hard drives for laptops have this sensor now? I'm looking at this to replace it...

    Vista laptop undocking issue - LPT port always in use?

    The printer is so old that there is no updated driver, just the supplied Vista driver. HP's website simply says "HP LaserJet and Color LaserJet products - products supported and drivers included in Microsoft Windows Vista." And also, it is giving me this error even with the printer uninstalled...

    Vista laptop undocking issue - LPT port always in use?

    No, the printer is rather old and is parallel only. It otherwise works perfectly fine and is great for my college printing needs. I can't think of anything I did recently that would have triggered this either.

    Vista laptop undocking issue - LPT port always in use?

    I have a Toshiba Tecra M4 laptop which I performed a clean install of Vista Business ~ 6 months ago. I have the docking station with it, which I use to connect my HP LaserJet 1100, external USB hard drive, mouse, keyboard, etc to. Now I have had no issues with this setup until recently...

    Replacement Fan for Golden Orb

    I have a Golden Orb CPU cooler which I've modded onto a videocard. The fan on it has gotten a bad bearing or something and is making a racket. I cannot find just a replacement fan for it. I don't feel like buying an entire Orb just to replace the fan. It is thermally epoxied on, so its a pain to...

    SATA drive downgrading transfer mode & disappearing?

    Lastest nvidia IDE drivers installed. Powersupply might well be the issue. It is a mATX PSU and is pretty cheap too. I checked hte specs - only !10! A on the 12v line! I'm looking for replacement mATX PSUs, but there aren't a lot of high ouput models. I'm looking at this...

    SATA drive downgrading transfer mode & disappearing?

    I have a Western Digital 320gb SATA drive which I installed about 3 months ago. I find that occasionally I will go to access it and the drive letter is gone for that hard drive. I also noticed that copying to/from it causes 60-100% CPU usage, which is odd. I have an MSI Nforce2 mobo (matx) with...

    Batch Scanning?

    I'm going off to college and buying a tablet PC. I will want to have any paper handouts and such in a digital format with my on the tablet. I'm looking into all-in-one printers that have document feeders. I found these two candidates: HP Officejet 5505...

    Dead Channel on Klipsch Promedias?

    I have a Klipsch Promedia 4.1 system from probably 4 years ago. Its been really great for that time, and sounds good all around. Yesterday I noticed that my rear left channel was out. There was nothing at all coming from that speaker. I swapped the leads from the rear right and left, and nothing...

    Laptop CD-ROMs - Standard or Proprietary?

    If its fairly new and its a general hotswap bay, and built since the HP/Compaq merger (and maybe even if not) then I have a stack of DVD/CDROM drives that will fit. None of them are burners, but they oughta work. If you want to try one, PM me and I'll send you one for the cost of shipping it.
