 | [B]180[/B] day trial of Windows XP Professinal 64.  |
 | |
 | |
 | It started by itself? - please provide more details. Are there any beeps? Did you check VGA if it is seated well? (if you're not using intrgrated one) Is the CPU fan spinning? Are the mobo power cable(s) correctly plugged? Did you, by any chance, flash the BIOS? I suggest … |
| | [quote=khayes;429715]I'm having similar problems. My headphone/mic set up is plugged in correctly. Well, I can hear all playback and can record in to my computer using the mic, but can't hear myself in the headphones when talking into the mic. Does that make sense?[/quote] Some audio cards have the option … |
| | I agree with Janine. Rechargeable batteries are very lifespan-limited. I could add 2 thoughts here: 1. Bad battery could be the symptom and not the cause. The cause could be bad charger/PSU that is not producing enough power to feed the machine and recharge the battery. Btw, do you get …  |
| | It is probbably not Nero issue, but burner issue. You should update your burner's firmware.  |
| | |
| | You will have to list the configuration. BIOS version, mobo EXACT brand/model/version, memory (brand/model) CPU (CPU-ID if possible) psu (W) VGA (Brand/model/bios version) and so. Also any messages. (try entering safe mode and viewing the logs in event viewer) Is it newly built and buggy or did it work fine …  |
| | [URL="http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/weahelp/5.1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.websphere.wea.doc/inst_oracle.html"]This[/URL] might be helpful. Partition the letter? That doesn't make much sense. You can only assign the letter to the volume or partition the hard drive. Only brand new drives and/or drives with deleted partitions need partitioning. Safest way to determine if your drive needs partitioning is to open disk … |
| | [quote=ingeborgdot@yah;107042]Where can I find one. My board has a two pin led and my case has a 3 pin female plug. I can't find one. Anyone know where I can get one.[/quote] 3 pin female plug.. that's odd. Usually they are all 2-pin female plugs, except for the beeper that … |

| | Couple of things are inevitable with PCs that slows them down: - Registry becomes fragmented or full of past-installation leftovers - HD becomes fragmented Registry can be cleaned and defragmented using tool called "Free Registry Defrag" (among other free registry tools). It defragments and compacts the registry files. For the … |
| | Your hardware list would provide some light. Sounds to me like hardware/driver issue. If you want stability, you should increase RAM voltage. Some RAM (like GAIL) are power-hungry, and default voltage just isn't enough. Couple of Q's: Are there any errors logged in event viewer? How high is your VGA … |
 | |
| | Make sure that you hook it up to NT/2k//XP system. W95/98 (and Me, I think) won't read NTFS without add-on.  |
 | You get "[B]The page cannot be displayed[/B][COLOR=darkslategray]"[/COLOR][COLOR=darkslategray] I put in a ignorence.[/COLOR]  |
| | Try installing some hardware-monitoring tool to monitor the CPU core temperatures, if the time limit allows it. That way you will know if it is overheating and, thus, shutting itself down. Clean heatsink and spinning fan don't guarantee cooling. Thermal paste might be old or the heatsink might be not … |

 | Re: Hail Storm Brings back memories... of my car getting hailstorm dents. And it does have audio, so maybe you should toss your headphones... |
| | There should be "Quick POST" setting in your BIOS. You should disable it to see if any POST error messages will shed some light on your case. Also, if possible, look into event logs (part of administrative tools) to see if there are any error messages or warnings. While you're … |
| | After quite some time (months) I've decided to clean up my email inbox, and the last email I got was a notification from Daniweb. Being reminded of good old times, I've decided to log in and check what's happening. Just as I forgot to log in from time to time, … |
| | If your camera is still hooked up to your pc that may cause your pc to think that it is an external HD and try to boot from it. You should cahnge the boot order in your BIOS (f2-setup I presume). 1'st one should be HD. Also look for the … |
| | Make sure your system boots from HD when it comes to first reboot during installation. |
 | Re: Ram usage That is 32 bit memory addresing limit. 4 GB minus dedicated video memory. If you upgrade your OS to 64 bit you'll get the full 6 GB available to your OS. |
| | You will need a beeper.. it can tell you allot. You can use any beeper from any PC. Every motherboard has beeper (or PC speaker) connectors. For the troubleshooting, it means the world. Also, try this combination: PSU + MOBO + VGA (no RAM) .. and see if you get … |
| | Download latest [URL="http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_175.19_whql.html"]video drivers[/URL] and install them. That should do it.  |
| | It is apparently VGA-related issue. If it was display issue, it wouldn't freeze. It would keep running with those lines on. No quick fixes there, I'm afraid. You bought faulty laptop. For the external monitor use, if it doesn't have any signal on the monitor jack, then you would have … |
| | Maybe you should take a look at the CPU fan and heatsink. You haven't solved a problem. You just bypassed a shutdown. Problem is CPU's temp going up on, what you described, low-end game. My money is on the dirty heatsink and dying fan. |
| | Funny thing... It never occurred to me to google "free windows-clone OS" keywords...well, whaddayaknow, there [URL="http://www.netscape.com/viewstory/2006/08/28/new-version-of-free-windows-clone-released/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.reactos.org%2Fxhtml%2Fen%2Fabout.html&frame=true"]is[/URL] hope that Micro$oft will reconsider that "thy shall install only once" OEM-crap-policy. Maybe even a couple of free-bees? If Bill Gates was dead he'd be turning around in his grave. Maybe his grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-children will …  |
 | This is the question that has no right answer. If one thinks religious (chatolic) then one must say that no man can judge if another man lives or not for it is Gods to judge. If one is driven by sence of justice then one must ask himself about eutanasia …  |
| | Looks like dead hard drive. How does it beep exactly? Beep codes are useful in these situations (ex. 1 long - 2 shorts is a beep-code for faulty video adapter).  |
| | [URL="http://www.datacent.com/hard_drive_sounds.php"]Here[/URL] you can hear some of the failing drive sounds.  |
 | Told you ppl about MS making it to the market in a way that the OS is considered as physical part of PC or laptop. It only complements the 99% of shops that will abuse any detail in order to refuse to cover for faulty-by-manufacturer product. |
| | You must use floppy drive to load f6 drivers. PCMCIA Floppy, USB external floppy, on-board floppy.. it doesn't matter as long as it is floppy drive (Thank you, microsoft, for making modern computers useless without obsolete piece of hardware such as floppy drive. Ever heard of CDs?) |
| | Re: A Blown Fuse? Try different cable. The one you're using could have shortened the circuit. If so, it would be visible in a form of burned or melted insulation.(also, no power ever came to the pc thus leaving it untouched) Bare in mind that it is a fire hazard. |
| | Bigger problem than processor compatibility is motherboard and other peripherals you have. For instance, you may have motherboard drivers (which would cover the processor), but no video drivers for W98. If you examine CD's that came with your stuff, you'll see if their manufacturers support outdated windows 98. Even without … |
| | You will have to settle with 384 MB RAM. (256 MB stixk for your system is ~ $50) |
| | 8 beeps stands for "Display Memory Read/Write Failure" which means either the VGA is fried or it needs to be reseated (which is already done) 2 beeps stands for "Memory Parity Error in first 64KB block" that can be triggered by wrong BIOS settings for the memory. Usually means that … |
| | Hi, Noelle. Welcome to Daniweb. CMOS battery usually looks like a coin. Round, flat and silver lithium battery, similar to wrist-watch battery, only larger in diameter. It is usually placed in black plastic seat near the BIOS chip. I'm not familiar with TravelMate 2300 motherboard layout, but it is a … |
| | What you're talking about is corrupted CMOS caused by almost-dead CMOS battery. If replacing a battery did not help, try setting up BIOS, sence it had lost all the settings the moment you removed the battery. There is one crucial setting that can cause the "os not found error" placed … |
| | The cheapest way to build a new PC is to buy already working one. It saves you ALOT of time and EVEN MORE psycheatric treatment bills. (Traumatic ones are optional, while others are mandatory) The safest way to build a new PC is to buy everithing (including somebody to put … |
 | What is the difference between truck full of babies and truck full of sand? You cann't unload truck full of sand with a hay-fork. |
| | Maybe not. I know that, couple of years ago, it was possible to order replaceable BIOS chip directly from Award, but I'm not so sure that it is still the case. Yo should browse through [URL="http://www.esupport.com/"]thiese[/URL] pages to see if you find something useful. Also, there is a possibility of … |
| | If it was, it would be the longest ongoing problem ever... since 2003. |
 | I'm not gonna ramble on about stuff that I use, but the only Disk utility that can defragment meta-files on NTFS partition is [URL="http://www.raxco.com/products/downloadit/"]PerfectDisk[/URL]. I use it for off-line (or boot-time) defragmenting. For the usual defragmenting I use [URL="http://www.diskeeper.com/downloads/downloads-r.asp"]Diskeeper[/URL]. It defragments 120 gig partition in no-time, unlike most of them, … |
| | Try running [URL="http://www.cpuid.com/hwmonitor.php"]HWMonitor[/URL]. Unlike ASUS Probe 2 (I also have ASUS mobo) it will monitor VGA temp too. While it is running, start WoW and play for a 10 minutes. HWMonitor will record lowest and highest temps and voltages. You can post the results here.  |
| | That green round port is called PS/2 port. If you plug the mouse in it, you need to restart your comp. Same goes for the keyboard (on the PS/2 port). I suggest you do this: Plug in your mouse in the PS/2 port. Install the drivers from the software disk. … |

The End.
