I have just reinstalled Windows XP on a little netbook of mine. The Toshiba NB205-N311/W. It runs nice all-in-all, but I noticed it lags like crazy every now and again, and the cursor will slowly drag itself across the screen, programs take a while to execute and so-on. I was thinking about...

Yes I am still looking for one.

This is exactly what I was looking for. What a relief. Thank you very much.

Okay, that does it! The past year or so I have been trying and trying and trying to find a software program for Windows or Linux that can successfully rip a DVD or Blu-Ray disc into a single .mkv, avi, mp4, or any other high-res video file so I can keep track of all my movies on my server. Then...

Hello huynh It all depends on what sort of computing you are doing. Gaming would require more RAM, however if you use your machine for typical home media applications (watching movies and streaming music via Network Attached Storage NAS, light gaming like polar bowling, document editing, and...

Happy to be of assistance. It's upsetting to see people pay big money for something that doesn't meet their requirements.

I would recommend repositioning it, but if that doesn't seem practical you can change the channel to how the router broadcasts a wireless signal. The Channels for the United States and Canada are 1, 6 and 11. ~ Log into your router's web-based configuration (192.168.1.1; username is blank and...

Hello mistycom, Just one thing to mention. If you can, get another wireless device from a friend maybe (like a PDA, Smartphone[iPhone], another laptop, etc) to connect to your wireless router. You will then be able to tell if it is your router or a problem in windows. If you can't get another...

Hello 718Timdog, I would strongly recommend Intel for your CPU and Chipset. That is my preference though. I've had nothing but good with Intel system boards and processors. AMD is less expensive but in my experience the technology they are created with just doesn't seem to match Intel's Core 2...

I'm working with old ISDN BRI ports just for the hell of it. I'm using a Cisco 3640 (via NM-1E2W) and a Cisco 1720 router. I researched and researched Cisco's website but can't seem to get solid information on creating a crossover for this particular port type.(It's a BRI-U type not BRI-S/T...

I'm not sure what I did. Perhaps I handled it wrong when I was tilting it backwards but now when I go to use the "auto adjust" button on my monitor it says "locked." I'm also locked out of many other settings. No where in the monitor's setting I can reset it. I tried unplugging and replugging it...

I'm looking for someone who has a single port Ethernet (10BaseT) Network Module for a 2600 and 3600 series Cisco router. I would like not to pay more than $20 since it's an outdated data rate. If you have one you would like to sell, let me know. I log into computerforums.org often so I will post...

I have provided a link to Laptops I've had very good experiences with. The Toshiba Satellite Series: Toshiba Satellite® C650 Laptop Computers Customization: Satellite C650D-BT2N13 Laptop HP Everyday computing Laptop, Tablet, & Netbook PCs | HP® Official Store I'm sorry to say that Laptops...

Re: What is your favorite operating system? I'm going to be the outcast and say Windows Server 2003. I built my own home server with a copy I got for free being enrolled in a Windows Server course I took in college. I must say it is quite impressive even approaching it's 8th birthday. It's very...

hello hrhrudl I had the same exact problem only in Windows XP. Installing the driver; getting Internet access; rebooting; then getting nothing. They way I solved my issue is that I went into the Device Manager and started to poke around in the "Advanced" tab. In the setting for "Locally...
