I'll try a 'regular" black keyboard/mouse combo (radio of course, not IR) and see if it will work. I could of course use a 20' USB extension cord and put the receiver a few feet from the couch, but...

I will try the programs mentioned. Right now its running XP (MC), but I was thinking of installing Linux on it. This is only a 450 Mhz PII machine, and XP is a bit too much for it. :)
The image...

I'm trying to make an entertainment center PC so that I can browse the web when I'm in the LR sitting on the couch. Right now it's a PII 450 with 256 Mb of SDRAM and a Abbit Silluro MX440 based...

Using the ME version of spoolss.dll didn't do the trick. The 98 version did it, and everything works file now. Thanks.

We don't run McAfee, we run Norton. :)
Although we did run McAfee before (6 or so months ago), the problem only appeared about 1 month ago. I'll have to see if any of my private clients have ME...

I have a peculiar problem I can't seem to solve. Every time I try to run Windows update on my work machine (Win98SE, 128Mb of RAM, IE6) Internet Explorer will crash during the search phase. It gets...

I haven't seen any wireless routers that would still send a signal through 2 brick or stone walls, unless there is line of sight. Nice hollow interior walls don't block much, but insulated walls...

I know the Efficient internal modems still have driver problems with XP. My motto is "No driver, No problem" :)

I think the FCC limits the speed to much lower then that...
You could probably use some compression, but you won't get that fast...

First of all, I've always had problems with USB DSL modems in either taking forever to connect, or randomly loosing the connection. I always tell all my customers to insist on getting a "real"...

I found out that my Amptron is identical to an ECS design. Actually my MB is listed as an ECS, even though there is Amptron labeled everywhere on the board. :) Regarding my older board, it seems...

That's what I thought also. Regardless of what I did, the integrated sound, ACPI system and the video card would always share the same IRQ (5 usually), although if I would reserve 5 in the BIOS it...

Disabling ACPI resulted in a non-booting computer, and since I have already reloaded Windows I wasn't in the mood to do it again... plus, I like the power management features. I also updated the...

I actually had a somewhat related "experience" with an ECSM830LR board. The onboard sound supossedly works fine (everything works in Windows), but there is no sound coming out of it, so I'm guessing...

Well, I spoke too soon.. :) I actually tried all values from DA to FF, but FF was the only one which allowed me to finish 3DMark2001 without crashing. But the problem was not fixed. The higher...

It seems like the problem has been resolved. All it needed is a higher voltage to the AGP slot (using FF as the driving current value instead of DA which is the default). No more crashes. Yet. :)

I did a bit more research and found that my problems may be related to a lack of voltage to the AGP bus. "DA" is the standard value (if set to auto), but I've read some posts in which a higher...

I shall look for the IRQ value, along with lowering the AGP to 2X instead of 4X.

I tried it prior to reloading XP, and it didn't help. I'll try again today, it's still 4X now. Hope that helps...ATI is looking better by the minute.. :)

I got it from McGlen, there should be no problem getting it replaced. I'll probably try to exchange it for an ATI card, but I've heard those have their own "share" of problems also. Somehow I'm...

That was one of the first things I tried...

I've been using a Nvidia TNT2 M64 video card for a while now without any problems. A couple of days ago I decided enough is enough, so I've upgraded to an Abit Siluro GeForce4MX440 card. That's...

Thinking about that 100 Mb NIC... I didn't believe the ISA bus can handle that much traffic.

I remember the "enhanced" ISA slots... were mainly used for video cards though I've seen some IO adapters use it. But I've never seen a NIC card... and either way, E-ISA is long dead. Right now...
