    - Installing the Zalman CNPS9700 LED I have a couple of questions here. Now don't tell me to go to their website and get their support. Their support is down for a couple of weeks. I have a Intel Socket 775. I want to know if I need to remove the motherboard to put the backplate on. Anotherwords, do I need to install anything on the underside of the motherboard? Also I want to know which bolts I put the pressure on when I'm screwing them in. Do I put pounds of pressure on the Four (4) Clip Support Fixing Bolts for Socket 775 or do I put the pressure on the Four (4) Bolts ( for installing the cooler)? Anotherwords, there are 4 short bolts and 4 long bolts, which ones do I put the pressure on when I'm installing the cooler? Or am I wrong all together and I don't put pressure on any of the bolts? Then, can you tell me what part of the components I put the pressure on? I have a feeling it's the short bolts I put pressure on. I would greatly appreciated any hints someone could me on installing the cooler. Thanks, attilathehun1 Tag: Windows disconnects CDRom at startup Tag: 332443

"Filemon" software shows permanent "query information" to "netshellicon" non-existing folder/file every 10-15 seconds. Help me!!!! XP SP2 installed, HP all upated drivers installed, "Synaptics" drivers also I have final. Only thing is no ok - battery is dead, I'm working from net.

    - Upgrading to USB 2.0 Hi, I want to upgrade my old machine (anno 2001), which is running OS: Xp pro sp2, to USB 2.0. Mainboard: MS-6330 v.5.X based on chipset: VIA KT133A (VT8363A & VT82C686B) I have been searching for a suitable card and have come up with this, but I am not sure: http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=107412 My worry is: Is it compatible with the VIA chipset? Does anyone out there have any experience with this card and VIA? I realize VIA is not held in high regards, so I fear the installation might cause compatibility problems. Am I being too cautious? Are other cards you would like to recommend? Tag: Windows disconnects CDRom at startup Tag: 332405

    - external drive queries I'm using Windows XP, SP3 on my 5-year-old Dell desktop computer, which has a 60GB internal hard drive and USB2. I want to be able to clone my internal hard drive to an external USB drive (or more than one, for security). I've been getting great information and advice here about these drives. After reading through everything, I have a few more questions: 1. If I clone my internal hard drive to an external USB drive and the internal drive crashes, how difficult would it be to install the external drive in my computer in place of the dead drive? I've been told here that all you need to do is take the external drive out of its USB enclosure and put it into the computer in place of the drive that's there. Would I need adapters or anything else that I might not have on hand? As far as I know, my computer can handle a large (>137GB) internal drive--although I'll make sure before I buy one. 2. I believe external drives are generally FAT32 format whereas internal drives are NTFS (mine is NTFS for sure). a. Would that be an issue in connecting the external drive internally? b. Would it be wise to reformat the external drive? c. Would cloning the internal drive onto the external drive reformat the external drive? 3. Originally I planned to get a very large external drive. However, given that my internal drive is only 60GB and I haven't used even half of it, would it make more sense to get, say, a 160GB external drive if it would be used only as a clone for the internal drive? (Someone suggested that I simply get a large internal drive, clone the smaller drive to it, and switch the larger one to become the main drive. I may decide to do that as well, but I like the idea of being able to store the external drive away from the computer.) 4. I've gotten conflicting opinions on whether to get a desktop external drive or a portable: a. Is either type more reliable generally? b. Are there particular drives whose housing allows better airflow than others--or that even have a fan? I've been told I could just put together my own drive, using a good enclosure, but I'm not sure I'm up to that. Sorry to keep coming up with more questions! I've been using a computer for many years and backing up my data as best I can, but this is the first time I've thought about how to deal with a major crash. Thank you!

    - nvidia / momentary black screen / refresh ! ...just unnecessarily fought for an hour or more to fix a momentary "black screen" or "refresh" if you prefer, every time something is mouse clicked in nvidia control panel, .....after uninstalling and installing newer nvidia drivers. !!!! To cut a long story short, after a hunt on the web, spotted a couple of people who were told it was the "fault" of the monitor - I prodded the power off button on the monitor, (older Xiod / Samsung CRT), then after a few seconds turned it back on - "PROBLEM GONE !" ...so there you are, if you upgrade Nvidia drivers, and get a momentary balck screen, every time you click on something in nVidia control panel, or the sytem tray icon for nvidia, and if you happen to be using an old, but newish !! CRT, simply turn it off and back on again - i.e. it's a temporary condition in the monitor. ...no would this have happneed if I'd had an LCD on that PC ? regards, Richard Tag: Windows disconnects CDRom at startup Tag: 332381

    - Hard Disk Problem Since two weeks ago, I had a hard disk problem. It said: "\Device\Harddisk1\D, has a bad blocks" I want to ask some questions, I think it is really long because I want to know the most reliable answer/opinions so I'm write clearly about my condition: 1.What should I do now? Now I'm in the middle of backing up my data by copying them, but event viewer sometimes gave me in the middle of copying: a.An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk1\D during a paging operation. b.The device, \Device\Ide\IdePort0, did not respond within timeout period. c.A CRC error (Someone tell me it is because the data that was copied is in Bad Blocks. Someone tell me that these event are caused by the Bad Blocks because these event start appearing as my HD get Bad Blocks, but I want to be sure that I don't have any other hardware problems. Also, someone tell me, another hardware error doesn't cause bad blocks. Is it true? Could someone clarify this? 2.I wonder what caused the bad blocks? Because, there is 3 HD in my Computer. The first one is where I installed my Windows. It is 6 years old and never had any Bad Blocks problem. Now it still doesn't. (I hope it doesn't/won't appear because I make two partition on it C:/ and D:/ and many important files especially in D:/, C:/ is where I installed Windows and many other programs.). The second one is the HD with Bad Blocks.It was bought 1 years and 3 month ago. Some people said it was because overheating but this HD has lower temperature in SMART Test (41 C while the other two is 43-45 C) and sudden movement, I still don't think this is the cause because if it it true, the other two could also have Bad Blocks but it doesn't happen. The third one is my Brother HD that has same type and was bought on same day with my HD that has Bad Blocks. His still doesn't any problem with Bad Blocks. Using Speedfan, The fitness of my HD that has Bad Block is only 57% while my 6 years old HD is 98% and my brother 95%. So, I wonder what caused the differences, I used all the HD with same working time ,obviously (all the HD is powered up as my PC is powered up). A Comupter technician tell because there is too much data in my HD, I think that not really correct, my 6 years old HD in D:/ partition has only 1% free space from 20GB (about 110MB), while this HD with Bad Blocks still has about 16-20% free space from 160GB (about 35GB). 4.Some people say that Bad Blocks could be cause by Logical or/and Physical problem on the HD and if it was Logical, it could fixed with some program/software, it is true? 5.I've brought my PC with all the HD to a Computer Technician and he told me that the HD (that with Bad Blocks) is fine and he told me to format it to fix this problem. Should I do as he says or get a new HD? 6a.If I should/must get a new HD, should I run a HD Check Utility as precaution there is not Bad Blocks in the new HD? 6b.If I copied backup data from my External HD, will the new HD get Bad Blocks problem? 7.In my brother HD there is a weak sector when I'm verify his HD using HDDScan, there is a folder that took about 15-30 seconds to access, it is about 15GB and has about 30.000+ files.This folder was always like that since several months ago when it was created, it holds several games for PC. Does this cause the weak sector/ was caused by the weak sector? Thanks. Sorry it is really long Tag: Windows disconnects CDRom at startup Tag: 332370

    - WinXP won't open downloaded EXE files. I've a friend with WindowsXP Home. She just installed a new modem and got dial-up service. (Lives in the boonies.) She downloaded the Skype and ZoneAlarm setup executable, but when she tries to run them she gets an error that Windows can't open them, not a valid executable. I made sure EXE and LNK are in the file types associated with Application and Shortcut. Also, she can run cmd.exe, so, it's not an association problem...it must be those files. Had had her look at the properties, and both say foo.exe as opposed to foo.ex_ or some other indication that they weren't fully downloaded files. Any ideas what I can check or do? Thanks!

    - geheugen probleem Compaq Presario 6000 series Doordat de Compaq Presario van mijn dochter nogal traag was geworden, leek het mij zinvol om het register eens onderhanden te nemen met Registry Mechanic. Er werden heel wat fouten gevonden en hersteld. Bij de systeeminfo ontdekte ik echter dat het RAM-geheugen van deze PC 224 MB zou zijn in plaats van 256 MB. Het BIOS geeft echter nog steeds 256 MB aan. Bij de Windows systeemeigenschappen staat ook 224 MB. Ik heb met een aparte opstart cd-rom van Windiag het geheugen langdurig getest. Daarbij werden geen fouten gevonden. Hoe kan het dat er geen fouten worden gevonden terwijl ik wel 32 MB geheugen mis? Heeft het ontbreken van die 32 MB consequenties voor de goede werking van de PC en is het noodzakelijk om de DIMM te vervangen, of kan ik er gewoon een extra DIMM van 256MB of 512MB bijplaatsen? Er wordt nu slechts één van de 2 geheugenbanken gebruikt. Marius Tag: Windows disconnects CDRom at startup Tag: 332294

    - Green Gauze Monitor and Slowdown at Windows Loading Screen Hey all, recently when I start my computer I get a green rolling screen which after 20 seconds flicks to the black bios startup. During the bios check the screen flashes green as if it's degauzing several times...then after 5 minutes of the windows loading screen windows starts up in a really slow manner, the deskop appears, then goes blank, then the icons and tool bars appear. My computer has always started really quickly and I've never had the green gauzing effect...even when the monitor powers down it fades to a bright green dot in the middle of the screen. Once the tedius loading it out of the way windows actually works fine, and even high spec games like CoD4 run without error (but the screen does flash green whilst changing resolution to play them) I assumed that it was the monitor itself, but that doesnt explain why windows is taking ages to load...is it a problem with the graphics card? do you think it's hardware or software based? I'd really appreciate any advice Thanks a lot Al Specs AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Radeon Sapphire x1600 AM2NF3-VSTA motherboard Tag: Windows disconnects CDRom at startup Tag: 332260

    - large external drive OK? I have a 5-year-old Dell desktop computer running Windows XP SP3. I want to buy my first external hard drive and have my eye on an Iomega 500 GB drive. One of the reviewers of this drive at Amazon said that it wouldn't work with her older computer, which is about the same age as mine. The reviewer asked at a local computer store and was told that in general the large external drives don't work with older computers. (My internal drive is only 50 GB, as I recall.)

    - pioneer dvr can't install anything Hello...........This is my first post.

I dual boot XP with win 98 se and the Pioneer works perfectly when I'm in win 98. I've looked through many of the posts here but nothing quite like my problem seems to exist.

    - Another USB Quandary I'm playing with two things, an Intel DG965SS mobo and Microsoft's UVCView.exe USB tool. UVCView shows that there are seven root hubs, two of which contain the magic word: Enhanced, which means they are Hi-Speed USB. The board has ten physical ports. When I inventory the physical ports....plug in a device and see which root hub/port is connected to each physical port, none of the physical ports match up to the two Enhanced Root hubs shown in UVCView. At first glance that would mean I don't have any hi-speed USB ports, right? But, the Intel product specs claim hi-speed on all ten physical ports. So, is it possible that UVCView isn't showing me the entire story, and that the mere presence of an Enhanced root hub (anywhere) means I've got hi-speed everywhere? Do some motherboards have mixed USB...some full-speed and some hi-speed? If so, how do I determine which is which? -John O Tag: Windows disconnects CDRom at startup Tag: 332215

    - Computer shutting down randomly I am fixing a computer for a friend. It seems to shut down without any reason and then reboot (no BSOD). I reformatted the hard drive, put in new memory, new video card and new soundcard to bypass the onboard audio/video. It seemed to work ok, but after about 45 minutes, it shut down. I clean the CPU fan, checked all the connections and cannot find the source of the problem. I have upgraded to SP2 as well, but again - I thought at first it might have been a virus or software problem, but now I am not so sure. I am going to run the ASUS probe software and see if the temperature is fluctuation, but it seemed quite cool. Any ideas? Does this sound like a motherboard issue or a power supply?

Uninstalling and re-installing does not help. Any ideas? Thanks... Tag: Windows disconnects CDRom at startup Tag: 332112

    - How many video cards can be used on 1 machine? Currently have a single Radeon HD 3800 (3 outputs on 1 card) and are using both DVI outputs to 2 monitors wile the svideo goes to the TV. Can I add an additional VGA card for a projector? Will the display output to all of these work? If yes, do I need to stick with a Radeon so that Catalyst Control Center will see and control the new video output? Tag: Windows disconnects CDRom at startup Tag: 332090

    - Strange booting After formatting the HD and adding a new one on my Intel pentium 4 PC I noticed a strange behavior: I need to press any key on the KB to have it boot. Then everything runs fine. Any idea? Thanks, Andrea Tag: Windows disconnects CDRom at startup Tag: 332062

    - Delay selecting items in Explorer on external drive When clicking on any item - folder or file - in Windows Explorer for a USB2 external drive, there is a four/five second delay till that item gets highlighted. Happens every time only for one particular external drive. During that time everything is frozen. Except for this delay everything works fine. Do we need to look out for anything? Drive tested free of malware and viruses. Regards and thanks for any insights. Rubicon --------- Tag: Windows disconnects CDRom at startup Tag: 332058

    - Trying to recover XP after failed upgrade to SP3 I had my system just the way I wanted it and everything I wanted to do worked. Then I upgraded to SP3. SP3 wouldn't boot and nor would safe mode so I had to "repair" my installation by reinstalling my original SP1 installation disk and installing SP2 over the top of it. Sadly my system is nowhere near the state it was in before. Since SP3 caused this problem and SP3 intransigence in not allowing me to remove it in the usual way has caused a lot of problems that would take me 20 mins to list here ... however A brief list RPC server not working. Now partially fixed DCHP has to be started manually each time I start the machine. NVIDIA driver installation program doesn't recognise NVIDIA Geforce FX5200 card and won't install. I have downloaded 4 different drivers and have the CD driver which will run but still won't fire up the card upon a reboot. Drivers are: 71.89_win2kxp.english 91.31_winxp2kmce_english_whql 169.21_forceware_winxp (US version) 169.21_forceware_winxp (International version) Some programs won't run from links. AVG email detection disabled. Specs: Pentium 4 2.8GHz. 1.25Gb DDR PC2100 Ram I also have Windows 2000 Professional on the computer and that has no trouble booting or recognising the graphics card. Any suggestions? -- Bill Jillians, a dude BJ must be the king idiot here, because I've laughed out loud at his posts. - River (25/11/2007) Tag: Windows disconnects CDRom at startup Tag: 332055

    - Unable to retain multimedia keyboard 1.1 mouse settings I am using Windows XP with the Microsoft Multimedia Keyboard 1.1 along with the associated "Standard Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse". Everything works correctly, except the pointer options are not retained between system restarts. I need to manually set "Select a pointer speed" and "Enhance pointer precision" everytime I boot. It works as expected until the next time I boot the system. I think the problem started when the original keyboard/mouse failed, and I replaced it with a new identical keyboard/mouse. During the process I uninstalled/reinstalled all the software, downloaded new software, etc. I believe that an old set of software or settings is being loaded after the initial boot, so that the settings are not retained. I notice that there are two similar directories as follows: "c:\Program Files\Microsoft IntelliTYpe Pro" "c:\Program Files\Microsoft IntelliPoint" The Driver hardware details show: Microsoft USB Dual Receiver Wireless Keyboard (IntelliType Pro) Driver Date: 11/7/2006 Driver Version 6.10.155.0 File version: 5.1.2600.2180 (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158) How do I totally get rid of a previous install of the IntelliType software/settings so that I can do a fresh install?? -- None Tag: Windows disconnects CDRom at startup Tag: 332049
