New mobo by philo
My main machine is quite ancient and I've decided up finally break down and upgrade. My present mobo has a dual core CPU and 6gigs of RAM. In theory the board supports 8gigs of RAM but in actuality I cannot get it to work reliably with more than 6gigs. It was so old it did not even have USB-3 so...

Digital audio by philo
In all the years I've been working on computers I've never dealt with digital audio and now I've seen the same problem twice this month. One machine runs Vista and the person uses it just to run some specific hardware and the other is a run of the mill Win7 machine. In both cases, the users...

linksys ea6350 any way to turn wireless off or on ON router itself? by R2D4
I just picked up a nice, used Linksys EA6350 at a garage sale. Definitely faster than the router I have been using, but one thing that annoys me at many routers is the inability to turn the routers wireless off an on ON the router itself (NOT in the software). Does anyone know if this one can,...

alternative to Verizon FIOS G-1100 router? by R2D4
After having DSL for many years, Verizon installed the 50/50 double play FIOS yesterday (I got Internet and phone only, no tv nor plan to anytime soon). They also provided the Fios G1100 router, but I'd prefer to use my own. I currently had a Netgear N300 left over from another use and I have...

Xbox 360, the value of maintenance by Norm X[_2_]
Lately, I have seen web and YouTube discussions about Xbox 360 teardown and maintenance. My Xbox 360 dates from 2008, but early on, there was the red ring of death and it was replaced by Microsoft. Now the DVD drive is a little flaky and needs encouragement to open/close. It operates in a non...

I have a Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000KA7PD0/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 that is getting a bit iffy at times. It's a beast of a mouse, but I love it- the way it fits my hand, the easily accessible buttons, etc. I've tried a...

How did my alarm code change when I never touched it by micky
How did my alarm code change when I never touched it? (not a computer but it does have a digitally stored program, and solid state memory for the settings, less than 1000 bytes, I think.) About 9 years ago I started to install a burglar alarm, but I didn't finish before I had to leave on my...

Memory question by Bill Cunningham[_2_]
I have put a new memory stick into my XP x64. I removed two 512 MB sticks. This new one is 1024 MB. Why would my system still be saying I have 896 MB of ram? Do I need to do something in BIOS? When I had a 1024 and a 512 MB in there it was showing I had 1.3 GB of ram. How much Ram can XP...
