P4P800E: Boot From ThumbDrive? by
(PeteCresswell)
Stepped through the CMOS menus, but nothing jumps out at me except for the "USB
Mass Storage Config" section - which doesn't seem to recognize my thumb drive.
My guess is that the thumb drive needs tb plugged into one of the MB USB ports
and not a card's port. Correct?
If I've got that part...

Small Laptop/Higher Rez Screen? by
(PeteCresswell)
Seems like all the 10" and below laptop screens are 1024 x 600 or
smaller.
I currently have an eee901. The form factor is exactly what I
want for a walking-around PC. Even the 10" would be small
enough.
But the 1024 x 600 screen just isn't getting it for me.
Bottom line: does anybody,...

P5Q-SE2: SATA II? by
(PeteCresswell)
I'm using the P5Q-SE2 for my Windows Home Server box.
Got a half-dozen of Western Digital's Caviar Green drives in it.
While trying to track down a flaky drive, it's dawned on me that
SATA II is a lot faster than plain old Serial ATA - as in twice
as fast.
Being basically clueless, but looking...

ZenBook: Loses Touch Screen Functionality by

Zenbook UX302L running Windows 8.1.
Several weeks ago the "Touch" feature of the screen had stopped working
maybe 5 times already.
The workaround was Control Panel | Troubleshooting | Hardware and Sound

ZenBook on AC: Battery Still Supplying Power? by
(PeteCresswell)
The Real Question: Am I extending my battery's lifetime by running on AC
whenever possible, or is it the same as running the battery down and
re-charging?
i.e. When running on AC, is the battery still supplying power and just
being re-charged on-the-fly? Or is the ZenBook smart enough to...

.BAT File To Re-Enable USB Device? by
(PeteCresswell)
My Zenbook is set to hibernate if cover closed with no external power,
but do nothing if cover closed with external power connected.
When I close the cover and then disconnect external power, it does what
I would hope: hibernates.
The rub is that each time that happens, the USB device associated...

PA248 Monitor: Assigning "1" & "2" Butons To Inputs? by
(PeteCresswell)
I hop back-and-forth between two inputs a *lot*.
Seems like I should be able to set the PA248 up so that pressing the "1"
button selects one input and pressing the "2" button selects another.
I've tried, but can't make it happen.
Is there a way?

Windows Home Server Mobo? by

Got a P5Q-SE2 in my WHS box right now, but sometime in the near
future I'll probably demote it to use in a family member's PC.
My main agenda for the WHS box is to figure out some way for it
to go to sleep and wake up on a daily schedule.
e.g. Sleep from 0100 to 0700 and be awake the rest of the...

901: Upgraded To 2 Gigs.. Now What? by
(PeteCresswell)
More-or-less as an act of faith (or was it foolishness?) I
upgraded my eeePC running XP Pro to 2 gigs.
For thirty bucks, it seemed tb a no-brainer.
OTOH, I don't recall TaskMan every telling me I was using much
more than a half-gig.
My thoughts were of comments on the graphics...

P4P800-E: Sound Card On The Way Out? by

Onboard sound "card" - actually not a card in the true sense...
but some modules on the MB that perform that function.
Sound from this thing has been degrading over the past months.
Humming, buzzing.... and a hum whenever SysBeep fires.
First thing, I have to wonder if I'm jumping to cause. Can...

Siticking with XP, New MB: 32 or 64-Bit by

My plan is to stick with Windows XP Pro until my main client
switches to Vista - and, hopefully, that will be quite awhile.
Meanwhile, it's starting to look like there might be a
motherboard replacement in my future bco weird things happening
with my P4-P800-E.

Asus 901: Installing XP, "NTLDR Is Missing" by
(PeteCresswell)
Booted from MSDN DVD, told it to install XP, SP1.
Chose the larger of the two SD discs just on GPs.
Specified NTFS as the file system.
Install seemed to go normally, but when the 901 went to reboot,
it posted a message "NTLDR Is Missing" and that was the end of
it.

OT? Dongle Preservation by
(PeteCresswell)
Just got an MS "Arc Mouse" for my Asus 901.
Pretty slick: folds to a small size for storage, unfolds for
comfort.
But it comes with the world's smallest dongle.
Unfortunately not quite small enough to leave plugged in when the
PC is put in it's bag.

Xandu and 1:01 with Ubuntu. A little over 3 gigs on the system
drive.
But I can't figure out how to get wireless working.

901 Charger: 12v Home Free? by
(PeteCresswell)
I just noted that the stated output of my 901's charger is 12v
DC.
Unencumbered by any knowledge of electrical stuff, it sounds to
me like the 901 can be charged just by a direct connection to a
12v automobile battery - as long as the polarity is correct.
Or am I just wishing?
If not, downside...

P5Q-SE2: Scheduled Sleep/Wake? by
(PeteCresswell)
Used a P5Q-SE2 to build my television server that now lives in a
closet.
Right now, it's running 24-7.
I'd like to have it go to sleep mode 3 (or whatever the one is
that takes almost zero power) at, say, 1:00 am and then wake
itself up at, say, 6:00 am.
Windows XP.

UX302L: Keeping Battery at 50% ? by
(PeteCresswell)
Recently read some credible comments to the effect that Li batteries
last longer if kept at 50% rather than 100%.
My UX302L rarely goes off of AC and when it does it usually needs to
last less than an hour on battery power.
So....
Is there anything I can run that will tell Asus' battery manager...
