| Win98 S3 AGP drivers for Asus K8V-VM ? Richard Brooks 16:50:29 |
| | I've had to buy a new pc as the capacitors on the old one had rotten and
as I'm happy with Win98se right now, I'm looking for the right S3 AGP
driver for an Asus K8V-VM board, as the CD for it is for Win2000/XP.
Which one would work better than the 640*480 mode I'm in right now ?
Many thanks,
Richard.

| UltraDMA CRC error rate below ttheshold value in SMART Osiris 16:48:41 |
| | Hard Disk inspector reports a 40 Gb (Maxtor 6L040J2) the UltraDMS CRC
error rate (index 199) value in the SMART table is well below its
threshold value.
Should I start worrying ?
strange enough, it is the drive that shows a temp of 37 celsius,
whereas the other maxtor shows 18 celsius.... same mounting position,
same air...

| Is My Monitor Dead? Jethro 16:32:24 |
| | I have a two-year-old SCEPTRE 19" LCD monitor.
Came home after leaving system off for several days, and it worked for
a 10 or so minutes, then stayed black. I cannot get it to work now.
When I try turning it on and off, it flashes what it should display
just for a second, then goes black.
It has been hot, here in Delaware. Like 100 degrees! My house A/C
was off while I was away - maybe the heat had something to do with
this?

| Coincidence? Samsung HD failure Guest 10:55:11 |
| | I just put an Enermax Liberty PSU into my PC (AMD Duron, ECS K7S5A MB,
1GB RAM) and next day started getting SMART error warnings from the
BIOS on boot up. Luckily everything is backed up but I'm wondering is
this just a coincidence? The drive is a Samsung SP1203N and is 3 years
old.

| IBM expands Opteron lineup Bbbl67 10:42:36 |
| | IBM falls in love with Opteron all over again | The Register
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/08/01/opteron_redux_ibm/
IBM announced 5 server models based on the Socket F/Rev F Opterons.
Despite all of the hoopla surrounding Woodcrest, it does look like the
Opteron momentum keeps growing. A recent article also said that AMD has
now captured 25% of the overall x86 server market already.

| Asus 7900GT card freezing. What to do? Coolsti 10:16:16 |
| | Just put together a PC with an Asus motherboard A8N32SLI-Premium and an
Asus 7900GT video card. One card only, so no SLI. The PC works very well,
no problems at all, and the graphics are fantastic. But we have now
experienced two sudden freeze-ups when playing Guild Wars. The sound is
ok, we are still in the game (we are playing on two separate computers
together) but the screen is just frozen. If we go back to Windows, we
cannot get the game screen up again, and we cannot get any other
application, such as task manager, to function. The mouse does move
around, but retains the game's cursor.
I installed this card with default settings, and the Nvidia console says
it is clocking at 450/660.
After experiencing these problems, I installed the Asus Doctor software
that came with the card, which is supposed to allow overclocking among
other things. As soon as I had this software installed, without changing
any settings, the PC started to sound like a vacuum cleaner or jet engine.
Apparently with this Smart Doctor simply installed, the card cooler was
running at max speed or something. It also seemed that some sort of high
overclocking was implemented. It also did not look like I had the option
to return the clock speeds as low as 450/660 again using Smart Doctor,
unless I did not understand the settings. So I uninstalled Smart Doctor
again.
Can someone explain what is going on with the Asus 7900GT?
1) What is this utility Smart Doctor actually doing? And how should I use
it correctly? I don't want to overclock, in fact I would rather underclock
if that is what it takes to remove freezing in Guild Wars.
2) Why the freezes and what to do about it? I can see from internet
searches that freezing in games is an issue with the 7900GT, but in
overclocking situations, and that is not what I am doing here.
Any suggestions and tips are welcome!
Steve, Denmark

| Sony DV-camera FireWire not connecting x64 Niklas Engfelt 09:49:40 |
| | I have Windows 2003 x64 edition, which is basically the same as XP x64.
I have a Sony DCR-HC90E DV-camera, and when I connect it with FireWire,
it only comes up as "61883 Class Bus Device" with a yellow exclamation
mark.
Any ideas why it is not shown properly? I have tried Pinnacle 10.1 and
Nero Vision 7 and they cannot find any sources. (of course when it is a
yellow exclamation mark)

| Unmountable boot volume error message????? J.P 05:30:09 |
| | hi folks,
have an e-machines 130, 900mhz Celeron running windows XP that has
suddenly developed an error that i can't seem to fix.
When you boot it up it come up with the standard screen saying that
windows did not start successfully and offers the options of "safe
mode", "safe mode with networking" and "Safe mode with command prompt"
and "last know good configuration". it also counts down to autostart in
normal mode.
However, whichever option you choose it then goes onto a blue screen
with the following message:
a problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent
damage to your computer.
UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME
if this is the first time you have seen this error screen, restart your
computer. If this screen appears again follow these steps.
If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or
software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. if
you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your
computer, press F8 to select startup options, and then select safe mode.
Technical information:
*** STOP: 0x000000ED (0x80E91E30,0XC0000032,0X000000000,0X000000000)
I have never come across this sort of error before and i am a bit
baffled. Is it a hardware problem or something with windows? unmountable
boot volume suggests hard drive problems to me but seemed unlikely.
Any advice you can offer that would point me in the right direction
would be greatly appreciated
Cheers
John

| 64 bit help. Robin Gordon 04:34:01 |
| | i succummed to my friends opinions and decided to build a new pc. I was
moving from XP2500+ (205FSB) and Nvidia 6800 (128) Graphics to Opteron 144
with ATI x850XT PE graphics.
i used 2x 256 Corsair PC3200 ram to get me started. i'm using ah Hitachi
250GB harddrive.
after getting the whole thing threw together i got a bitter disappointment,
finding that all the benchmark progs say my old system was as fast as my new
one.
overclocking i can get the opty to 2.5GHz but games pause and creep and take
an very long time to load. Even if i get killed and have to wait on the
game reloading, it takes an absolute age.
where am i going wrong. i even installed XP64 to get a little improvement
but alas it is little.
Do i need more ram or is the bottle neck somewhere else.
My specs are:
Opteron 144 running at 2.5GHz
Gigabyte K8n Sli mobo (f9 bios)
Freezer Pro 64 artic cooling CPU cooler
512 MB Corsair pc3200 ddr400
ATi X850 XT PE (256MB)
Hitachi TK250 HDD
Windows XP64 SP1.
i have all the latest drivers, all 64 bit.

| PCI Video card on PCI Express motherboad? Tungley@Spamfree.Bellsouth.Net 03:20:47 |
| | Quick question -- If I buy a new motherboard which has PCI Express video (no AGP
slot), will a regular PCI video card work in one of the other PCI slots as an
alternative to using the PCI Express slot (i,e, will I get video)? I'm thinking
of a way to avoid buying a new video card right away if I happen to buy a board
with no onboard video and no AGP slot for my current card)
Thanks

| Manual Duplex Printing with a Brother Multifunction Printer Jack Gillis 03:20:35 |
| | I am thinking of buying a Brother MFC 210c, 420c or 640c multifunction
printer. I now have a Brother HL 1440 Laser Printer and its driver has a
manual duplex option which makes two sided printing a breeze. I have not
been able to find out from the Brother on-line documentation whether the
drivers for those printers offer the same type of manual duplex printing.
Brother has not responded to my email question on the subject.
Can anyone here tell me if the feature is offered by the drivers for any of
the printers?
Thank you.

| low disk space message in Windows ME Gerry Wolf 03:19:24 |
| | Has anyone been faced with the message "low disk space" and the disk is not
even half full in Windows ME? Any idea how to free up the unused portions?
Defrag has been
done, and various programs have been deleted, but it still gives the
message, sometimes when the computer is just on with no activity.
Suggestions?

| WOL - setting ip address to forward to Guest 02:52:27 |
| | Im trying to get wake-on-lan to work, Ive enabled it in my motherboard.
My NIC supports it and since the motherboard is PCI 2.2 compliant I
*dont* have a cable running from the NIC's WOL connector to the
motherboards WOL connector.
I know my NIC's MAC address.
In the router, I have selected to forward anything on PORT 9 (UDP), but
the problem is it doesnt allow me to forward to a MAC address only to
an IP address. Since the router automatically assigns a new ip
address to the computer I want to wake, I dont know what the ip address
will be. I can set my computer to a static ip address, but wont this
cause a conflict with the dhcp of the router?
Alterantively, I can assign an aribitrary IP address in the router
(within the local LAN IP range), but is there perhaps a default IP
address in the NIC itself that needs to be used?? If so, how can I find
my NICs IP address?
Im using this to test:

| duplicate working devices in device manager Dave Xnet 00:31:45 |
| | Hello,
just did an XP repair install to a Biostar 6100 M9
motherboard / AMD 64 3200+.
It's an Nvidia chipset board.
I'm a little unfamliar with it, and there's a few things I
noticed, one of them is duplicates in the device manager:
http://home.comcast.net/~davetest/dm2.JPG
They're all working, according to device manager/
properties. Only one occurrence of the primary and
secondary controller gives the active dma mode,
the other says "not applicable"
However, all the general tabs say "this device is working
properly"
Thanks for any enlightenment.
Dave
