Hello Coastal Guy Iam a newbee also!!
Hay Richard1 and thanks, I be from the north side of NJ where violence is skyrocketing to an all-time high :eek2:
I worked the North side of Jersey for most of my life, Lodi, Pine Brook, Kearny, Edison, and three days a week in the bronx. I moved to Florida six years ago.
Ahh cool! I know ppl who live in Kearny they also film alot of the sopranos over there in kearny! as for me I hang my hat in bloomfield.....
Hey y'all
from Kentuckiana, where the Kentuckians are constantly throwing grenades over the Ohio River and the Hoosiers are constantly pulling the rings and throwing them back.
Found this accidentally while troubleshooting a computer...someone else had the same problem I did...and I was able to tell them how to fix it once I figured it out.
Great site!
So anyway...I install Windows in the basement for a living (you'd be surprised how much dirt you can see through them, and some worms and crawdads...occassionally a mole).
I am constantly troubleshooting the computers I build here so I will probably frequent this site.
In my free time I fiddle all kinds of music and chat under a completely fake ID that no one will ever guess...haha
TTYL, y'all. :)
Got a question...where do I change my avatar to a custom avatar?
Heya!
Under the WinDrivers logo there is a little box 'user cp' - click then click edit avatar I would guess.
I think you need 500 responses to post a Custom Avatar.
Is this what you are asking?
Welcome to the nut house.
Where most everything gets answered :grin:
Hi guys and girls. I just wanted to let everyone know that my friend and I are starting to do IT help work in the Upstate SC area. We were wondering if anyone knew of any clients that may be in need of this service in the area that we are located. We are going to work on 'the side' keeping our normal 9-5, hoping to expand into a business capable of holding its own. The ultimate plan is to get away from the 9-5 and really do something with our lives. After hours work will be readily available, meaning that we will work nights and weekends if needed. We would be very grateful for any help provided. We will definitely be pricing below marketing average for our area. Any feedback is greatly appreciated and if anyone needs our service we will be happy to work with you. We are ready to take credit cards so feel free to post here or drop us an email @ [email protected]. Thanks very much in advance!
Onforce.com Sign up and you will have the opportunity to get work from them.
Thank you very much for that information. I really appreciate that. All the help I can get is greatly appreciated. We also take criticism very well, so if anyone has any ideas to throw out, they are appreciated also! Again, thanks!
Best of luck chevyspd! :)
I really appreciate it guys. I really hope this takes off. I have a passion for fixing things and challenges, so I hope that this will go well.
Hi schnautzr
I am a PC Rookie as my name emplies. I am not a computer Rookie. I taught school and got in on the ground floor of the computer literacy push in the schools. My early exposure to Apples converted me to only Mac ownership. I love my Mac computers. (I have 5 of them!) I am working now on my G4 purchased in 2002. When I upgrade, it will be a Mac again. They are so EASY!
That said, you might wonder what I am doing on this forum. Well, it is like this. I have to use PC's at the library and at some other volunteer "jobs". I know how to use them. I don't know how to troubleshoot, configure them or work on them. I can take the cover off & peek inside for id'ing cards, connections, etc but that is just about it! My son did not have a home computer but a great PC at work. He had a computer system donated to him for his kids to use for their games. His wife purchased some games to use but their PC was a Pentium II. The games required a Pentium III. I have a friend who retired from his TV repair business and started doing volunteer maintenance on the government surplus PC's that the school had donated to them. He also buys surplus computers at business & school auctions. He had a Dell Optiplex GX110 that had been "wiped". We pulled the software off the Gateway 2000 & installed it on the Dell. Then we proceeded to combine the Dell with the Gateway 2000 monitor, speakers, & printer. The monitor works in the 16 color minimum screen resolution & I can't seem to find the right adapter & driver combo to overcome that minimum (which won't run the software that I have). I can play music CD's in the CD Drive but can't hear the sound through the desktop speakers. I can hear sound through the earphones when connected directly to the plug on the drive face.
I need help. I already have money invested in this system. What can I do to overcome these problems. This is a good computer w/zip drive too. Do I need a different monitor or would I still encounter the problems I have with the Gateway 2000 Vivitron 1776? The monitor is very good w/beautiful color.
You'll get no help from us Mac-boy! -.-
Just kidding, you do have to tell us what OS you are using though, or I won't be able to direct you to the exact page you need to go to on Dell.com and get the drivers for the video chipset you are using.
The sound thing is a little wierd, if you can do headphones, you should be able to do speakers as well.
But no, your monitor will work fine on that system.
You need a video driver to allow you to take full advantage of the video card. Do you happen to know the make an model of the video card? If not, perhaps try downloading Everest, installing and running it and posting the results here so we can help you locate a driver.
As far as your sounds is concerned, you probably need to hook up an audio cable - its a small cable that runs from the back of your CD-ROM drive to the sound card inside the computer.
Well, thank you but I am not MacMan...I'm MacMam. I am using Win 98SE & I have already downloaded & run Everest. See my communications at http://forums.windrivers.com/showthr...d=1#post633378
double posting is annoying, because you get two different sets of possibly conflicting answers. This thread is locked.
I do remember. We were writing the coolest game ever and ran out of memory!Quote:

:grin:
Great idea! (Especially considering the laptop forum hasn't had a post in almost a month.....:( )Quote:

But by still wanting to understand what I can about my machine and its idiosyncracies I stumbled on WinDrivers a couple of days ago and I really love this site. :heart:
Everyone is so helpful and it doesn't seem to matter how silly my questions are people are happy it seems, to direct me to an answer if not answering it themselves.
I also love how the threads can be about anything for instance like the WOTPP thread. Love it! ;)
Well that is a bit about me bye for now :wave:
It's always good to have a new member that wants to learn!
Welcome Country Bumpkin! It is always good to hear from you folks on the other side of the planet. ;)
