Well the other day i was in a rush to get my computer out from under my desk so i could put some new cold cathodes in. I forgot to unplug the audio jack and the pressure of pulling the computer ripped the audio socket straight out of my motherboard (onboard sound). So I have bought a new sound card...

Hi all I am running Debian GNU/Linux Sid on a Pentium4 1.7GHz. About a week ago it was installed on a Maxtor 30GB IDE HD, as Secondary Master (hdc). A HP CD writer was set up as Primary Slave (hdb). With some hours of use the HD and the CD-R led had turned on and had stayed always on. A few...

Recently I upgrade my old computer's Internet Explorer 5 & Outlook Express 5 into IE6 & Outlook Express 6 by clicking Microsoft's upgrade link. Everything works fine, except that I cannot open the Outlook Express's Email attachment file. The Outlook Express pop out a message:- "OE removed access...

I am having a problem with COM port conflict in my Dell Dimension 4300 PC. I had no problem connecting to internet using an internal modem for years. Then, I replaced the internal modem with a USB modem (to free a PCI slot), and connected the COM1 serial port of my PC to the "Slow Speed Data Port"...

I have to build an ISO with only two specs: - I have to know where is a given file, I mean, I have to know how far from the center of the CD is a particular file - the file has to be alone in that zone. I can choose what ever I want to do that: ISO, Joliet, or what ever. Since I expect a CD to...

Hi all. I am planning on building myself a "super" computer to run Suse64! I want to use a AMD64 processor. I heard a rumour that AMD plan on changing the socket for these processors soon, and that anyone wanting one should wait for a little bit. Can anyone shed any light on this? Should I...

I've had my EPoX 8RDA+ board running fine for about a year now. The CPU is an Athlon 2100+ and I've got 512mb of RAM. Anyway, I get home and turn on my monitor to nothing; there is no signal coming from the PC. I look down, see that it's on and I can hear the fans going. Everything seems alright....

The only thing on the Compaq website is a crappy 180K "Modem driver fix" file - this is not the driver. I just reformatted a family's computer, but it's been three weeks that they've been offline, because I've spent the last two trying find a friggin' MODEM driver! Everything else is up to par,...

is it possible to run an operating system on another type of external media, or memory device, like a thumb drive or flash card? i'm aware of partitioning the hard drive in order to run multiple operating systems, but i would like to boot and run an OS off of something other than the hard drive...

I'm thinking of replacing my processor fan/heatsink with a water-cooled system. I've heard they are "silent", but exactly how silent are they, and how much should I pay for one? If you don't advise a water-cooling system, then where can i get a "silent" fan system?

The Linksys WSB54G Wireless Signal booster seems to be taken off the market. Does anyone know where I could still but one ?

Hi, I have a CD drive that up until the other day was working fine but now it has stopped being able to recognise the fact there is a CD in the drive - Audio or Data. I have checked the drivers and devices and all is as it was when it was working. It is being recognised in the BIOS as well. I have...

Could someone recommend a fast full duplex onboard sound chip, or a motherboard with such a chip? I hope to find something with reasonably good audio quality but don't expect too much. The focus is speed, so I can do pseudo-realtime processing. The software I'm going to use is W2k, WDM drivers,...
