  1. Wow the people around my area that were suprised by this one lol. Been working my bottom off trying to help people get "Real CD Keys" from Microsoft lol Geez I never realized how many people didnt understand the way to register thier Windows. Microsoft has had about 50 calls from me in the last 2 days!

  2. Had a computer in the shop the other day doing the exact same thing that you posted -- ended up being that some of the capasitors on the motherboard were starting to "leak" in other words the motherboard either got way to hot or it took too much current from either lightning or power surge. Let me also say this watch out if it is a "leak" on the motherboard as I jarred the do do out of me lol

  3. To see if your running in NTFS or Fat32 format do this --

    Click START>CONTROL PANEL>Administrative Tools>Computer Management>Disk Management

    Now under the "File System" section it should tell you what type format your using. It will also show wether or not you have a Hidden Partition on the Hard Disk. Hope this helps you.

  4. This problem has started recently. I updated all my drivers, and the problem is still persisting.

    My full computer specs are:

    AMD Athlon 3000 64 bit CPU

    1024 MB DDR RAM

    128 MB ATI Radeon 9250

    2X 80 GIG Hard Drives

    Gigabyte Motherboard GA-K8VT800

    Go here for a utility for your MotherBoard --

    http://tw.giga-byte.com/Support/motherboar...A-K8VT800%20Pro

    Download "Beta:050426 2005/05/06 Easy Tune 5" And see if it wont tell you a bit more about your Board and the temps on it.

    Also have you tried AMD's Cool 'n' Quiet ? yet? -- Get a demo here -- http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/Produc...5E10272,00.html

  5. If you plug both ethernet wires into your computer (you may need an extra NIC for this), you should have 2 "Local Area Connection"'s with internet access. Sharing must be disabled on both of these, then you select them both and right click, click on "Bridge Connections" Then just place one towards the FTP and the other towards your main

  6. To use windows update just enter java script:void(window.g_sDisableWGACheck='all') into the address bar at the screen where you choose custom or express install, then click go and choose custom - volia!

    You have to type in -- java script:void(window.g_sDisableWGACheck='all') make sure to take notice that thier is no space between java and script also make sure that you have capitals that need to be there.

  7. I can't get Vista to install...keeps failing. Boot loader is intact, though. Is there any way to remove this without reformatting? I tried using fixmbr in recovery console but it did nothing.

    Did you try doing the "FIXBOOT" option in the Recovery Console? I do this all the time and never had a problem yet. Use both the "FIXMBR" and the "FIXBOOT". Cheers

  8. The Facts

    Just in case you ever get these two environments mixed up, this should

    make things a little bit clearer.

    IN PRISON..........you spend the majority of your time in a 10X10 cell.

    AT WORK............you spend the majority of your time in an 8X8 cubicle.

    IN PRISON.........you get three meals a day.

    AT WORK...........you get a break for one meal and you have to pay for it.

    IN PRISON..........you get time off for good behavior.

    AT WORK............you get more work for good behavior.

    IN PRISON..........the guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you.

    AT WORK............you must often carry a security card and open all the

    doors for yourself.

    IN PRISON..........you can watch TV and play games.

    AT WORK...........you could get fired for watching TV and playing games.

    IN PRISON.........you get your own toilet.

    AT WORK..........you have to share the toilet with some people who pee

    on the seat.

    IN PRISON..........they allow your family and friends to visit.

    AT WORK............you aren't even supposed to speak to your family.

    IN PRISON.........all expenses are paid by the taxpayers with no work

    required.

    AT WORK............you get to pay all your expenses to go to work, and

    they deduct taxes from your salary to pay for prisoners.

    IN PRISON..........you spend most of your life inside bars wanting to

    get out.

    AT WORK ..........you spend most of your time wanting to get out and go

    inside bars.

    IN PRISON .........you must deal with sadistic wardens.

    AT WORK...........they are called managers.

    Now get back to work. You're not getting paid to check emails

  9. Cojntact your cable isp and tell them that you are being hit by a virus from whatever ip address it is coming from and let them block thier servers from that ip. I have had the same problem more then once on my cable connection and that was the only fix I found. I even sent emails to the attackers isp and told them -- thier only response was that they didn't have anything to do with it so I should just block it. I thought that was mighty crappy of them so I contacted my isp and they took care of everything.

  10. I had the same problem on a clients computer after racking my pea sized brain for hours I decided that I would try small things to fix it. Well to make a long story short I pulled one of the memory sticks and it booted fine. So I shut it down and pulled the other memory stick and inserted the first pulled stick and ended up with that error again. In the end the memory stick was bad.

  11. I just have a few questions about products made by Lite-ON. Mainly thier DVD R/RW DL burners. Have anyone here ever used them and if so what are your thoughts about them? I have a Lite-ON DVD R/RW burner but it is the kind that only burns to 4.7 gb disc and I can get the DVD r/RW Dual Layer for around $60.00 here and was just wondering.

  12. Do you run XP pro or XP Home? The reason I ask is I have ran into a simular problem on a XP home machine. After I had a crap load of trouble getting it to run smoother I gave up and talked the client into XP Pro and have had no trouble with it at all. I believe that XP Home is a huge mistake just like Windows ME was.
