I used CD Creator for many years up until version 6. No version of Nero had ever crashed my system. I've seen CD Creator hose many computers and I have yet to see Nero hose any... That alone is...

I was a Norton guy until 2004. Man that version sucked! Since then I have been using Grisoft AVG 7.0 and have no complaints. It has worked well.

I've been using AVG 7.0, the paid version since 4/04 and I've had zero problems with it. Compared to NAV 2004 that crashed twice and would only work with a complete re-install... two years of...

While it took me a long time to consider XP over 2000, going to XP PRO I got a free speed increase on my old PIII 750. W2k didn't like my ABIT BX6 2.0 running the Slot1 PIII in "turbo" mode. BSOD...

If all you want to use is Word, Excel, Outlook & Powerpoint you may want to look into Office 2003 Student & Teacher editions... they run $109-$129 at Staples/Office Depot/Fry's stores and I have...

Dell has a small FAT16 recovery partition that is about 30MB's. All my Inspiron notebooks had them however after receiving them I deleted the entire partition to set it up my way.

Don't know if this is a problem or not but right after I put in SP2 if I tried to change monitor resolution via the nVidia icon in the system tray the screen would go black just to bring up the menu,...

Now I'm not bagging on the techs here but what you say is very accurate. Venting is one thing but to treat all those who can barely turn a computer on as total idiots is wrong... and no I'm not...

Greetings all,

I just moved from NAV 2004 to AVG 7.0, which is really nice. I set up AVG 6.0 & 7.0 for Outlook & OE and it scanned e-mail attachments just fine. However, with Eudora 5.1 and AVG...

Geoscomp, Confus-ED & Ruslan, THANK YOU VERY MUCH for telling me not to open my friends drive and try a controller board swap first. I did win a eBay acution for an identical drive (for a big total...

Not that I have any arguments with what you say, we have both a Dell Insprion 1100 (P4 2.4) and a Dell Inspiron 8600 (M 1.7) and they both get plenty hot on their own... The 1100 seems to last about...

Nothing, I can never get past the BIOS detection stage if that... Right now my best option is a controller swap with an identical drive I just won off eBay! I'll let everyone know how it goes/went...

Having come to this thread after talking about my own HDD problem I wonder, why would dust harm the drive? Many years ago I opened a dead drive and remember seeing what looked like a chrome disk...

How it happen (as I was told...) the drive was the master in a Gateway system, the drive built in late '98 and it had WIN98 SE on it. Into a new system (home built with XP Home OEM) as a secondary...

Greetings all,

A friend has a WD Caviar 36400 (6.4GB) IDE HDD that is no longer responding. I have the drive now and sometimes the BIOS will recognize it and most of the time it won't. Even when...

It's possible the guy is still looking at the OEM software! He's probably rushing out to get it before it is snapped up by somebody else! :)

I have v.2 and I am very happy with the router. My main computer is wired into the router and I have two notebooks on wireless & one other desktop on wireless. Signal strength is good, I have taken...

Where are the CD/DVD covers at?

TIA

Damn! I thought a friend of mine whose kid found a porn site and ended up with 136 various turds on his WIN98 box was a lot! How did you even manage to get the computer up???

How many of your average consumers would actually read Intel's build your own PC page or the article at The Inquirer? All Intel is doing is preaching to the choir...

90% of the rest will continue...

Nope :(

I have to assume this is how AVG works. So far nary a virus has been found on my computers...

At first I was thinking no way... I don't want my e-mail read by Google or advertising as I would would not ever need that much space for e-mail... But then I began to think 1GB is slightly more...

What I hate about my ScanJet 3500c is HP always trying to configure my desktop icons and start menu icons. I want them *MY WAY* not the way HP wants them. Why is HP having a freaking heart attack...

Though I'll give the guy the benefit of doubt on not shilling his company and trying to pass on Dell parts... the prices & shipping leave lots of room for a price drop...

When we go to Pismo Beach (CA) we often drive up to San Louis Obispo where there is a drive-in (Sunset Drive-In) that uses FM radio for sound. The signal was good enough to hear the movie being...
