  1. im sorry to report guys that my mobo has had it....i got it to a point were it would give me POST beeps...and according to the manual....a continues beep means system bored failure!!! :(

    Well, at least you have a reason to buy a new, more expensive board. :thumbup

  2. firefox? crashing? dont make me laugh, its stable as hell and much much better than ie7, anything IE can do firefox can do better :P

    Except activeX. I don't think they've updated the plug-in for it yet have they? I tried using the older version one but it wouldn't work. Firefox has crashed on me a few times. And for some reason I can't upgrade to the latest version, 2.0.0.3. Not a huge problem, it just annoys me that it has to bring it up almost everytime I open up my browser. I think it's time for the annual clean install.

  3. i have a pc in the same situation...........i have tried all the solutions suggested but it still wont boot.....

    its a 3ghz prescott core

    3gb Corsair RAM

    3 IDE HHD

    400watt psu

    When you say that it doesn't boot, do you mean that it doesn't turn on at all? As in no lights? Or is it the same situation as anomaly?

    Anomaly, I doubt your HDD is causing the issue because the system would at least show you the main screen.

    BTW, did any of you guys add any hardware recently?

    Does the motherboard support onboard graphics? If it does, plug it in there and see if it works. It could also be that the graphics card is dead. Can you temporarily swap that out with a known working one?

  4. When you say you don't have a cabinet speaker, do you mean that the PC didn't come with an internal speaker? Also, pull the ram out and boot up the system. If that's the problem you will receive an error message. Also, pull out the processor, if there's something wrong with it, the same thing would happen as with ram.

    More likely it sounds like there's a problem with your power supply. Can you swap it out with a known good power supply?

  5. Funny yes but it has a hint of truth to it because the US Government (CIA) ships in

    the narcotics (see Michael Rupperts videos on Google Video) and then arrests people

    for having those narcotics and puts them in the very prisons the Government also runs,

    thus getting incredibly cheap labour from them and displacing local jobs at the same

    time.

    Thats not a game though, thats real life.

    Soooooo, it's not the columbians, cubans, puerto ricans, mexicans, russians, italians, or any of the other races that bring over the drugs? BTW, I'm latino, so don't charge me with racism.

    Also, are you aware how much it costs to keep a prisoner in prison? A few years ago I heard it was about 20-30k per head. Now, I don't know where you got the idea that, that's cheap, but you need to reevaluate that information.

    Sorry for the hijack and for bringing up old stuff.

  6. So check it out. I have a user who bought this new Fellowes ergonomic keyboard. This keyboard is plugged into a laptop via a docking station. BTW, the laptop is a D600 with the latest bios. So here's what I have done:

    Made sure the BIOS has USB emulation turned on

    Plugged in another USB keyboard and that works fine on boot up

    Plugged the keyboard in question on a different machine and it works fine on boot up

    Tried using a USB->PS/2 converter but it was for a mouse so I'll have to find a keyboard converter as I've heard the pin outs may be different

    The EU had a normal PS/2 mouse that also worked fine

    Plugged in the keyboard directly to the laptop, undocked; same problem.

    The keyboard works fine when in windows. The issue is that we have an encryption program that runs on boot up that requires the user to enter some login info. But it's also a problem that it wont even let me into the BIOS menu.

    So, what do you guys think?

  7. This issue is ancient. The resolution is the following:

    Click Start > Run, type in REGEDIT and click OK.

    Navigate to:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >SOFTWARE >Classes > CLSID > {87D62D94-71B3-4b9a-9489-5FE6850DC73E}> InProcServer32

    Right click the InProcServer32 key and choose Delete. Reboot.

    Or:

    Start > Run > regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll

    This unregisters the DLL responsible for providing some of the column details and the thumbnail view of the AVI files.

    Cool, so what does that actually do?

  8. Redownload movie.avi as it's proabably corrupted? Or you can run a program called fixavi and see if there's any issue with that avi file. Keep in mind that if you run that program you should back up the original as it may delete the corrupted data.

  9. If it is a dns issue like cluberti said, go into the command prompt and type in ipconfig /flushdns. Then run ipconfig /registerdns. This will clear and renew the dns entries from your gateway. Also, when in doubt, reset your router.

  10. Does the drive not work on any other channel?

    You may be able to run a data recovery program like GetDataBack or something like that. I was only able to get 1/4-1/3 of my stuff back when my MBR died on my HDD but it's worth a shot.

  11. I'm using comodo right now. Found out that when I downloaded Nod32, it was actually a trojan. That or comodo got confused. Makes sense though because I was having issues with my system and when I deleted the exec of nod, the system was up and running again.
