Hi I had an APC BN1050. All of a sudden, it reported 'overloaded' red light. It shuts down right after that. Problem is, the battery is fine, and, it's just the reset switch on the back being shot. APC tells me I have to send it back, upgrade through one of their programs, spend more money with...

Hi After having the power at a public school fry my computer last year with brown outs, and black outs, I was wondering if a laptop would be a better idea for protection? If you are running off the power supply on a laptop, and the power browns, or blacks out, does the battery jump in and...

Hi My second ATI X800XL just went south, or I should say North, since it's going to New York for RMA. Is it just me, or is the ATI software kind of buggy, and, the cards getting less then a year each? I'm seriously considering going to an NVidia card next. My Dual was not shutting down after...

Hi Thanks to Bucks help, I now have my P3 450 MHZ, school box home. It's running a Quantum LM, 512 MB of ram, and Windows 2000 Pro. I really forgot how neat an OS 2000 Pro is. I don't use any of the stuff in XP to speak of, and, the copy I have of 2000 supports dual processors. Not to mention...

Hi Like a stupid idiot, I actually bought, legal copies of Windows 2000 for each computer I was using it on. Now, I want to sell them. Appears MSFT doesn't allow this< WTF?>???? I need to sell some form of hardware with each 'bundled with computer' copy I have? How do you sell MSFT OS...

Well, it's 55 degrees right now, and, it was a bit chilly. Rather then turn on a heater, I crank up the Athlon 3000, with 850 HIS card, and external venting, along with a couple quiet, but good size 120mm fans, and, a squirrel fan right next to the video card, just in case. I run FAH on it...

Hi I have a friend that needs fax, printing, probably usb, since he's using a HP 1.4 ghz laptop, and copying. He might ship 3 times a week, so, Laserprinting is a question. Still, he likes to read hard copies of everything, so the copying , and printing might require laser quality. Any...

It's just occured to me that I've got things backwards here. I have a gaming box with Windows 2003 Server Edition on it, and, my main machine has XP Pro on it. The only thing stopping me from switching is, it would be an incredible amount of work setting up the Dual Xeons again. Come to think...

Hi David setup a gaming, school rig for me, and, it's been great, except for one minor problem. The Gigabyte passive cooling system is NOT up to 8 hours of intensive Quake 4 play: it checkerboards. Last time I did it, I was thinking of switching cards with my Xeon box, but changed my mind...

Right now, it's taken me 30 minutes to get into Nikon's website, and, another 15 minutes to print the manual, thanks to Adobe Acrobat Reader, 7.0. Adobe is becoming enough of my life I'm wondering if going up to Reader Professional might not be worth it? Anyone worked much with it, or that...

After a wonderful day at the office, I came home to a non-booting, SO computer. Pop in XP disk, try and boot from that. Forget I have to switch from the wireless keyboard and mouse, to the wired stuff. Find SCSI LSI drivers floppy. Do that, and, after a few, "windows does not detect any disks"...

Hi My SO uses Aol, and, I've found a rather intresting bit of work. the process file waol.exe was using between 95-100% of the processor on the Athlon 3000, at idle. When I started working, it continued sucking up the cpu. I stopped the process, did a little research, and, it seems to be...

Hi I just went through a really fun experience. I was told I needed a new Code4 to view some windows media player files. I was suspicious, but tried it anyway. WRONG MOVE. It installed files into my temp folder, in Internet Explorer, that appeared to be linked to a warning about I had...

Hi Since I have two of these now, I thought I might post a bit about the heat stuff. With my computers, I've been trying to cut noise down. On the server box, this meant not installing a 120mm fan to blow over the PCI cards, and, in the new box David built, it meant keeping the fans running...

Hi My phone is up, and I am looking for a new one. Verizon deal is pretty good, but, the phone sucks. Need a big LCD, bad eyes at reading distance. David has ideas I don't even know about. I'd like a phone with datebook on computer, phone, and Palmpilot. Any ideas? s

Hi I've been playing around with Quake 4, and to run at highest settings requires 512mb of VRAM. Now the ATI 1600 pro, AGP has it, for around 160 dollars, if anyone really had one. I could also go to a PCIE and dedicate another computer to that. Has anyone compared the X800XL and the X1600...

I've been watching Lara Croft, as Tomb Raider, and, the one thing I despise about the movie is here expanding/contracting breast sie. It goes from a c cup, to a double FF, and back again. They suck... s

Had to drive over to Pacifica at 12:00 @ night to pick it up. Drove home. Slightly distracted, I had installed a 300 gig Sata Seagate Cheetah(When did 7200 rpm drives start doing 73 mb/@sec?) I also had a backup drive, USB 2 250 gig external maxtor, with my current backup on it. Somehow, in a...

Hi Is there much difference? I picked up a couple of the later, since I heard from most that the later were going bad, or something. Can't remember... Anyway, they have been sitting in a box, waiting for a new machine, and I'm wondering if I should take the time to swap the 3540s for the...

Hi I had the power go out about 6 times at work, and, finally my power supply gave up the ghost. I replaced it with a Seasonic, and now the computer works fine if I boot it at 100 mhz=1ghz, but, 133 mhz/= 1.4 ghz. Machine blue screens, and gives me something about NTkernal problems. What...

OK: Found out the job I took puts me on the hot seat. The group that is causing us to be 'examined' is due to mexican students failing to maintain english and math goals, and, the group I teach are responsible. So, I came home, after refing a VARSITY basketball game, girls, and, I'm sitting...

Well, Santa had a good year, since he got double paid this year, in December. So far, the good: Combo SATA/firewire/usb 2 card is working well. 7 Port USB with flashing lights is fun, too. Maxtor backup usb2 250 gig, while only 13 mb/sec, still is enough to backup, and play video. Memory...

Well, after spending about 4 hours playing with trailers, Slowtime, and sucktunes, I really hope they get it right when they go x86. I must say, that with all the software I've used, x86, other then stuff that just doesn't work, Applecrap is the WORST I've ever used. It fails to do what it's...

Well, it's that time of year. SO decided to redo resume, stored, of couse :evil: , on a floppy. I back her documents folder up every month, but, if it's not in the folder, it doesn't get backed up. Never fails: deadline, either school, work, or job apps,and the floppy fails, unreadable, and...

Hi I'm wondering if someone has a no nonsense, easy to use printer for direct labeling of CD's/DVD's that look neat, rather then sharpied? Also, is it hard to find inkjet printable CD/DVD's? Does anyone make a laser printer that will direct label to CD's? Color is not very important on this...

Well, it's Thanksgiving, and , things are going well but, no company. More later. Tonight, I was in the mood to be Santa, and, I took a ride down to the local store. I've pretty much gone from 2400 a month, to maybe 5000 a month, starting tomorrow, for the rest of the year. I was in the mood...

It's 2:20 am, and I'm watching Winning! It's a movie about a Neuman finding his new wife sleeping with Robert Wagner, basicly because he neglects her for a race car... While that's going on, my cat jumps to the top of the door, and starts walking around... Talk about an analogy... Time to...
