    ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Power Cable Question

    I just bought this new video card (used) and it did not include the ATI power extension cable (molex pass-thru to ATI power connector). It looks like a similar connector that a standard floppy drive uses. Can anyone confirm if I can just use the spare floppy connector off my PSU, or is it a...

    Restore not working correctly

    I did an extensive search, expecting a simple fix that bcastner or linney had covered already, but no such luck. The problem started just after I upgraded my system to a raid(1). -installed 2 new SATA drives(2x200gig), full XP Pro (new/fresh) installation (raid1 worked like a charm right off...

    Laptop battery issue - always at the worst time...

    OK, here's the rough details: Toshiba Satellite PS241C-2PW9XP (2410) around a year old, used 95% of the time while plugged into AC power. As of 12 hours ago, it worked sweetly... perfectly.... no issues whatsoever. Today I got off the plane, (I do not recall bumping or jolting it any in...

    Modem Overheating

    Kind of a general question, has anyone experienced this? (I'd find another forum, but all the smart guys hang out here in the wireless forum) Connected to Rogers Hi-Speed cable (cable modem) to D-Link 614+ wireless AP/router. Router is connected hard-line to one desktop and wirelessly to 2...

    Save-as format default problem

    Problem: whenever I download a *.zip file using Netscape 7.1, it is saves as *.zip.torrent so I have to rename the file to open it. Seems to work fine with explorer, so I assume it is a Netscape issue. Answer: ??? any quick fixes?

    PC external HD - Mac Question

    I've got an Ximeta Netdisk (USB2.0/ethernet) 160gig formatted NTFS. Am I going to have issues plugging it into my little brothers PowerMac 7300/200? Do I need to partition it and set aside some Fat 16 or 32 space for the Mac to use? It won't be connected via ethernet, as he's using OS9.1 and...

    D-Link 514 question

    dhcpc_input: pLeaseId NULL. This line is repeated time after time in the routers log. So far I haven't found anything useful through Google, so thought I'd try here. So far as I can tell, both wired and wireless the router works like a charm. Can't ask much more for a $25 (cdn) recertified...

    Best way to Back-up?

    Honest question here, what is the easiest, fastest, most cost-effective way to back-up your system? After a recent crash, I found out that the recent backup that I'd performed (using MS's built in backup program) of my 'personal files and settings' only included the files in the MyDocuments...

    THEME PROBLEM

    Dumb idea to start with, but in the past week I trialed WindowBlinds, uninstalled it, then ThemeXP, then uninstalled it. After the uninstalls my desktop was fubar'd. I performed a repair installation of XPPro and now all is (almost) good. The only remainder of the program that I can find is...

    Links in Excel 97

    using Excel 97 SR2 Once a file is linked to another (formulas referencing another sheet) are the links permenant? I have a couple of reports that from month to month reference a different sheet, but when you click on Edit-Links the links used in the past are still active even if they are no...

    256 bit WEP?

    After hitting my d-link 614+ with a firmware update, I noticed that now there is a 256bit encryption available. Other than having to write down and enter a really long key now, is there any performance disadvantage to using 256bit? Unless I'm working for NASA or the DoD, is there any real...

    Netscape Password Management

    Major afterthought... I've used Netscape 7.1's password feature to store all the logins and passwords for my regularly used websites, both at work and at home. I do not have them written down anywhere. Is there any way to export this login/password info from netscape alongside the bookmarks...

    Secure Digital Card Question

    I have a toshiba laptop with a built in SD Card reader. The driver is installed and the device enabled, but after popping in a card from a digital camera I can't find any way to transfer over the pictures (I cannot access the card). I had assumed that something would automatically pop-up and...

    not a big problem, hopefully a simple question

    New XP Pro install, but I've noticed the same issue in Home. After booting and logging in, while the system 'warms up' and finishes loading all the drivers, etc... the screen flashes blank for a second. No change in resolution, just a flash to black screen for a second, then back to normal...

    D-Link 614+ 4X mode question

    The D-Link support site mentions that if you do not have a compatible card, then you should disable the 4x mode for better performance. When I disable 4x, I lose my wireless conection completely and have to physically connect to the router to reset it. Brand new, recently upgraded to firmware...
