If the XP drivers don't work let me know, as I do have them in my driver database. The driver is only 4MB, so it should be a simple matter to e-mail them or upload them to an ftp server.

Personally I try to avoid codec packs since they can be notorious troublemakers. It's probably much safer to use a codec info tool like GSpot (http://www.headbands.com/gspot/) to identify the missing...

I'm with machineman on this one. You need to take a close look at your power switch. I've also seen this multiple times. The switch remains stuck closed, so it's essentially like your holding the...

Yep... you hit the nail on the head. I just went through this with my Asus A7V8X when I tried to replace a WD 80GB IDE HD with a Maxtor 120 GB SATA HD as the only drive on the system. I initially hit...

Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. Here... This will solve that particular problem.

Sorry, I'm absolutely swamped with work right now and was hoping to just get a quick answer as to this particular modem's compatibility with XP, otherwise I would have taken the time to go into more...

That would be door number two Monty! :D Not only do I have to point it the proper directory, I have to install the drivers against XP's recommendation (you know, the one that says it can't recommend...

Thanks for the help guys, but been there, done that, got the T-shirt. Those were the first drivers I tried (the first of many). I can force XP to install them successfully, but the modem won't pass...

Actually most of MSI's boards are red these days and include some of the best motherboards on the market (IMHO of course).

OK... new OEM modem in new build XP box. Device shows up as "PCI Serial Port" and there are no native drivers for it (3Com's website confirms this). I've tried every possible compatible driver I can...

OK... this is a new one for me. I have an XP box I'm working on setup with two users. Everything works fine with one user, but I'm getting some startup weirness with the other. Basically the items in...

This is actually one of my pet peaves when it comes to PC cases... rubber feet attached with adhesives or two-way tape. Invariably at least one will fall off never to be seen again. How the feet are...

Or you can get the Gainward version at Directron for the same amount here.

I have an Asus A7V8X which is a first generation KT-400 motherboard, and that's exactly why I'm going with a G4 Ti-4600 8X card even though I could get an ATI 9700 Pro for about the same price....

Actually v43.51 was just released. You can get it here. So that's one thing he can try.

As it turns out, I'm in the market for a new video card myself, so I've been pouring over tons of reviews...

In IE6 go to "Tools", then "Internet Options", then click on the "Advanced" tab. Under "Multimedia" make sure all the appropriate boxes are checked (especially "Show Pictures" and "Play Videos in Web...

My son mis-typed a URL and wound up at a malicious website that tried to hijack the browser settings. Although my security settings prevented this, now when a new window is opened from within IE it's...

OK... as if the confusion over Windows Messenger and MSN Messenger wasn't bad enough, I got an IM stating that an update to Windows Messenger was available today. After installing it created two new...

It is in System Information. Go to Components/CD-ROM/PNP Device ID. You'll see the model number of the drive followed by a LOOONNNNGGGGGGGGGG underline, followed by the firmware version.
It was far...

OK... I darn well know that once upon a time you could get the firmware version of your CD-ROM's by looking in the Device Manager properties, but I can no longer find that info there in XP. Is it...

Thanks DocPC... that's a good enough sample size for me! :)

As far as the power supply goes, I'm using an Antec 350 watter, plus I tried other supplies while my PC was flaking out to no avail. I...

Well... after five months of flakey performance my A7V8X just gave up the ghost (it stopped recognizing the video card after a routine reboot).

Even though I fully intend to RMA the board, I still...

If that's the case then reformatting and re-installing shouldn't be that big of deal, right? Chances are that will fix your problem.

You may want to also check your system clock. Even though I've...

I've seen similar behavior after upgrades from Win98 or ME. Unfortunately the only way I've ever been able to fix it was with a format and clean install.

I think I would go with a Samsung 48X/16X CD-RW/DVD combo drive for $66 over the Liteon, but not bad! :)
