Hello ! Like the subject says, a computer running XP with a D-Link DE-528CT lan adapter report an "Limited or no connectivity" message when there's no cable plugged into the adapter (instead of the "Cable disconnected" icon with a red X). I went in the properties to uncheck the "Notify me when...

I'm using Windows XP SP3. The instructions for a process I've used before start out with DISKPART from the command line to prep a USB flash drive (thumb drive). The first step within Diskpart is List Disk. The first time I used it, there was no problem and List Disk listed all available disks...

Whenever I turn on my PC I get error message before booting...."206 memory failed configuration" I think it is something concerning about my hard disk.......your suggs? thanx

I like the higher capacity NiMH cells. But these high capacity cells need so much more charge that a fast charger (or much more charge time) is needed. Many fast chargers nowadays decide that full charge is approaching by sensing the moment when there is a slight drop in cell voltage. (Negative...

Someone gave me a small tower that is a news computer than what I have. It looks like it might use USB 3.0 now can USB 2.0 sticks work in that? That tower says Windows 7. So if I can get it running, that's the main problem. He said he was using it and it just shut down. He turned it back on...

Just curious... I just opened my Task Manager (Win XP Pro SP2) and added "Page Faults" as one of my columns. My PC has been booted for about 20 minutes now and most of the software running has over 1,000 page faults with several over 20,000. Is this normal? Does it indicate hardware...

When a USB device is plugged in, Windows shows an icon which allows me to stop the USB device before unplugging it. I can understand why this would be important for a motorized device, but is it really necessary for something like a SanDisk thumb drive?

I came home from work today and my internet connection inexplicably stopped working. I tried swapping the RJ45 cable to my mobo's 100mbit LAN port instead of my Realtek Gigabit ethernet card. I still couldn't even telnet into my router. At this point my PC was getting jerky and the mouse...

I send mail to a small distribution list (called "Committee"). In earlier versions of Agent, I had configured it so that the individual addresses were hidden and the word "Committee" appeared in the recipients' "To" field. It looked even easier to do in 4.2. Just "Use this text to hide...

What computer video capture hardware (and software) would you guys recommend to use with a (DISH) Satellite Box auxillary output? No real need for a TV tuner per-se, as any tuning must be done from the STB. Any video would be output as S-Video to the computer`s capture device. The Sat.(RCA)...

Just a while ago I had turned my PC on and then the strange message appeared... 'The CPU is not workable or has been changed'. However, when I enter setup everything seems to be alright, and I can boot my system normally by pressing F1. Everything's working just fine, and my CPU is certainly no...

My buddy is telling me that he read somewhere that some MOBOs allow use of the insert key (hold it down) during boot to get into BIOS. I can't find any info on this. Anyone know if it is true? Thanks
