  1. The only concerns of using a DVD to VGA adapter is that some displays do not like the signal and won't show a picture. But if it works, its fine. I use those adapters pretty much everywhere because all my monitors have VGA ports.
  2. Registered to TEST? I would certainly notify the site administrator to do their job right.
  3. I am to think that Jorge's PSU has these 2 2x2 (4pin) connectors this way for compatibility with the 8 pin CPU power connectors. Whichever fits, I say. If you are unsure, try the power on test minus HDDs and see what happens. Regarding CPU power connectors, the board won't POST without them, even if the main ATX board connection is connected. I call this "fans on but no picture on the TV."
  4. Hmmm if I were to guess... I'd guess that little box is basically a firewall that blocks traffic based on a blacklist of known advertising domains. If that is what it is, then presuming you have another computer (surely, it wouldn't need to be beefy) you could do the same thing. It is a similar concept to using the HOSTS file to block domains, however that isn't efficient once you add a large amount of entries. The main difference likely is that the device may end up updating itself to add new domains to block... Either that or the blacklist it uses is stored somewhere on the internet already, meaning it wouldn't need to update.
  5. Oh and I forgot the most important thing when replacing a PSU. You will need some zip ties so that your new PSU cables do not go into any fans!
  6. Of course, Disk IDs like 07 are for MBR disks, not GPT. GPT uses GUIDs as you found out.
  7. Windows is considering these devices to be like a NAS. I found many different things that could be tried. Take a look see yourself and see if you find anything that works. I searched these terms in google: windows 8.1 remember credentials nas
  8. Cut it out. The developers choose what they want to do and how they do it.
  9. Can you give more information on these media players? What are they exactly?
  10. Welcome to the MSFN!
  11. NVidia NV1 Windows 95 Multimedia Accelerator Software Development Kit 1.50 http://www.vogonsdrivers.com/getfile.php?fileid=706
  12. I don't know. That car looks pretty sweet.
  13. Andre, is it this error that was corrected? http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/170783-explorer-application-error-on-restart-in-server-2012-r2/
  14. It seems all the talk here about the TP is people testing Bigmuscle and Tihiy's add-ons. Everyone else seems to have posted "I tried it once for 10 minutes and this is what I think" and that's the end of it. Well... except Noel who has at least installed an update.
  15. I see the 24-pin connector mentioned in there. Would the ATX12V connector be the same thing as the 4-pin connector? But none of the reviewers seemed to have a problem hooking it up, so we should be good to go. One general question: are PSUs pretty standard in their shape and the location of mounting screws, etc.? I guess my question is how easy it is to get a PSU that will physically fit into its allotted place inside a PC case. --JorgeA The ATX12V likely means the 4 pin BUT could mean other size. I, personally, would only purchase one with a photo to make sure it is the right one. Even in their description of "peripheral power connectors" is not clear. You can see in the picture, a blurry white connector, which is the standard molex connector and it is probably what they mean. I wouldn't use Amazon, I'd use Newegg. They have better pictures: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371033 That is an example. ATX power supplies are all the same size. As noted before, some cases are not standard and require an adapter plate. If this is the case with yours, when you remove the PSU, the plate would be attached to the PSU already. There are other form factors like Dencorso mentioned. Example, see this one's size and shape: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151090 As far as recommendations on which to buy for testing, I couldn't say. I just have PSUs laying around I can test with. If I were to buy a PSU for replacement, I have my own favorites (Antec) but as long as it works, I'm fine with it. I'd probably say you should get an 80 PLUS (Efficiency) model rather than one without it.
  16. Don't pay attention to anything HP offers you. Also don't worry about RoHS compliance, that isn't something the end-user has a care about. The only thing that matters to you is the wattage marked on the PSU you already have. If you determine the power supply is at fault, then you will need to get a new one that is at least the wattage of the one that is installed. Now presuming this is what the inside of your PC looks like: http://www.citilink.ru/_catalog_images/516568_v04_b.jpg And this is what your board looks like: http://www.manfungtech.com/image/cache/data/hp/pc/487741-001-800x600.jpg Then your replacement PSU will be an ATX that has the 24 pin and the 4 pin motherboard connections. Some PSUs may have a 6 or 8 pin instead of the 4 so pay attention to pictures. You also want to take note of the amount of connections to other devices like drives. Make sure your replacement PSU has enough connectors to power your drives and whatever else. Be aware that there may be an adapter plate on the PSU if the case is some custom thing.
  17. Oldversions! They have a lot it seems. http://www.oldversion.com/windows/google-chrome/
  18. It seems you are saying updating the client's Java causes problems accessing portions of another website. The people who make that board last updated in 2012 and also have their own support forum: http://www.ninechime.com/forum/viewforum.php?id=7 As for what you can do, I'm not sure. The message it tells you says something about putting it in an exception list. Have you tried this? Otherwise, you would have to revert to a previous version of Java until the developers update their software.
  19. I just plug into the motherboard and hit the power button. I guess I flubbed with that part about the HDD, I do then test with everything but the HDD plugged in before going through the trouble of swapping the PSUs out. Basically, it is wasted effort to swap the PSUs only to find out that wasn't the problem.
  20. If you don't have a power supply tester, you should be able to just hook up another PSU and see if it powers on. You might be able to do this by simply unplugging the current PSU from the board without removing any components... Although I do not know how that looks on the inside. When I do this, I also will unplug the HDDs from their power just so that if the PC does turn on, I can shut it off without having to worry about an OS being in mid-boot.
  21. For deployments where I need to install software, I have installers in a folder. Then in the XML, I put a .cmd in FirstLogonCommands that installs the software.
  22. So basically you just change your account type to Administrator. I'm thinking a 6 minute video is a bit much.
  23. That is the code for "space" ... I fixed the link, it had a space after the URL and before the closed [ /URL] BBCode tag.
