if its just a new mobo and the hdd had windows xp on it, then just do a repair install. it will preserve all your data and also install your OS while your at it

An easy way to crash FF.... Start downloading anyfile through FF's Built in downloader Close any instances of FF except the download status window. Reload FF Should crash FF. If it dont work, try again... No such problems with IE7 or Opera9.xx And yeah ...What a memory hogger! just tried that, downloading ie7 (oh the irony) closed ff and reopened - nothing! ff didnt even flinch, but lets not argue, each to their own

if its a single pc then you need to go into the registry and point it to your WSUS server. i cant remember where the key is though :S but when i had trouble with wsus adding this key and rebooting did the trick

ok got it thanks a lot for the help

oh right so the shortened netbios name is limited to 15 characters but the standard one isnt limited? and so no problems should arise? thanks

hi all we have just inherited a client from another company and they have installed the sever with a domainname.local which is 18 characters long! i know its only supposed to be 15 characters max. the server is running sbs 2003, can anyone think of any major problems with this setup? (im trying to push for a reinstall) at the minute everything seems to be working fine thanks

why how much ram are you running on? i thought everyone these days had a minimum of 1GB

No, I dont have a router, all my ports are open No software firewall, no hardware firewall why risk it? its not worth it for the sake of 15-20mb extra ram usage from a firewall or AV, i could understand if we were all on p100's with 32mb ram but come on its 2007 and 2GB of ram is the norm these days!

do you have a domain? or a p2p network?

well personally i always use zyxel products but they are not the cheapest. You get what you pay for really, try ebuyer.co.uk (i guess your in the uk?)

98se used to work with NTL before they were virgin, i dont see why it still would not?. the best way to get around this one may be to have 2 NICS in the xp machine and a crossover between the 2 machines and then to run ics (internet connection sharing) on the xp machine and share the internet connection EDIT: sorry not the best way, but the cheapest way is definatley ics. the best way would be a cable router of course

alright mate cool yer boots, seriously, thanks for the help though il look it up and see if it supports it, i didnt take into consideration voltages and such

well core 2 duo are skt 775 and so is my motherboard, so i believe it will fit at least. my question is will the fsb be an issue? my board supports upto 800mhz fsb but the core 2 im looking at it is 1066 mhz fsb. do u understand the question now nitroshift?

hi all, in the same way that PC3200 RAM is backwards compatible and can run at PC2100 speeds, can the same be done with a processor? at the minute i have a Pentium 4 630 3.0GHZ at 800mhz FSB (skt 775), if i buy a core2 duo (skt 775) running at 1066mhz FSB will it still run albeit a little slower? or will it not run at all? thanks for your time

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

this is possibly some sort of malware, can neither the wired or wireless interface pick up an address?

when your optical drive is perpendicular to the floor burning is definatly slowed down dont ask me why though lol

ah yes! iv used this before i remember now, thanks ever so much ill give a go now

Hi all, i wonder if anyone knows a program that can do this: i got a second hand ps2 dvd remote and plugged it into my pc by a usb to psx pad converter now all i need to be able to do is map the buttons on the input device ( the remote) to buttons on the keyboard. does anyone know a program that can do it? thanks

Hi thanks for the quick reply, can you elaborate a little? cheers

Hi all, what do you guys use as your company anti-virus and anti-spyware? At the minute (and ever since version 6 and below) we are using E-Trust, and to be honest version 8 is rubbish, it has a web interface that crashes a lot and its not easy to manage, the anti spyware gives you no indication whatsoever that it is even running! unless you look at it from the server, and even then a scan with spybot often picks up stuff that Etrust misses. anyway can some of you guys tell me what you are currently using and how easy they are to use, setup and maintain? thank you so much

ok im looking at one of these http://www.linksys.co.uk/acatalog/WAG200G.html and two of these http://www.linksys.co.uk/acatalog/WRE54G.html any comments/suggestions? im just gonna read the data sheets to make sure they are compatible (but they should be lol)

apple? never heard of them making a repeater. At the minute im just looking at the linksys stuff, i think ill keep the equipment the same make all across to avoid problems. any other comments welcome thanks

Hi all, i have a little project i need some advice on please, someone wants me to setup wireless in their house the only problem is it is 3 floors high and very long, so im thinking of using 1xADSL router (possibly MIMO) and 2xrepeaters (he doesnt want any wires so these have to be repeaters) on the other floors to create a big WLAN all on the same SSID the router will have to go on the top floor as the ADSL connection comes in there and the 2 repeaters will have to go one on each floor. can anyone recommend a router and access points that will work together? or does anyone have any pointers? thanks ever so much
