Can anyone solve this riddle for me? I bought an HP desktop a few weeks ago. It is a s3700y (pavilion slimline). The only thing installed on it was a wireless network adapter driver Belkin G F5D7050 for wireless internet. The system keeps crashing with the blue screen of death labelling the...

While trying to setup an Internet Connection (dialup) on Box 1 a few weeks ago I came across an odd situation. Everything went well from "Make New Connection" - via the Wizard.

Hi Experts, I have an 18 month old box self-assembled (Box 1) with Win2K SP4 and one that goes back at least 10 years - Box 2, also self-assembled. DSL was running on both (one at a time, of course) for over 2 years. Box 2 has had no problem at all with DSL. After about a year, after Box 1...

Hello, I use a computer that runs Debian. I beleiev it has a 16 meg, maybe 32, ATI graphics card and a 19" Hanns-G LCD Monitor. My eyes are getting bad and I can hardly make out the words on the screen sometimes. I can still read a book fine in good light. I use my wife's computer and it...

Doing research for a friend of mine who is a web designer (but does have Usenet) he currently has a large CRT monitor that is intermittant and has been to a few stores to look at LCD monitors. He claims that none of them come even close to rendering the fine detail that he sees with his CRT.

I just picked up a small music player (irock 530) that has a USB connector. It didn't come with the USB cable, however. The connector is very tiny and I haven't been able to get a connector or an adapter. First, if there is a better newsgroup for this problem, let me know. I would like to...

Screen filters were common on old CRT monitors, but do these serve any useful function on a laptop computer, eg elimination of glare / static? If so any particular recommendation?

Hi, I am scrapping my pc and want to remove thr hard disk. I have had a look and can't see how it is secured. Can anyone offer guidance? Thanks

I get the distinct feeling that JimL (who may also be posting as ) is a very lonely person who has either just discovered usenet and is very much enjoying getting all his new 'friends' to run around answering his questions or is a very acomplished troll. -- Shaun. "Give a man a...

I am a new user of the lightscribe method of labeling disks. My Epson R320 printer is crapping out, so I thought I would try a different method that did not require a printer. So I bought a LG lightscribe SATA 22X DVD Burner (OEM). What I find is that I can't print color labels with a color...

XP Pro SP3, Thinkpad T42. A pair of LabTec LCS 150 extension speakers. I was getting total dropouts of sound while watching a video. At first I thought it was a bad internet connection, but I discovered that by cutting the volume below half, barely enough to listen to something, the cutouts...
