I can't see how a temp problem can cause the BIOS to reset or change the clock. However a program corruption in Windows MIGHT (unlikely but possible) cheange the clock from within Windows. I wouldn't discount the battery problem. Sometimes you get a lemon - I've seen it happen. You have a digital me...

Running NT 4.0 Server SP 6a here at home. Only file by that name on this system is buried several folders deep in the in the Frontpage 3.0 folder in program files folder. If the file is not in that location, it might be a dummy file created by the virus. Many viruses create a fake system file. I ALW...

I've written on this before: I really don't have a problem with these people for the most part since anyone who is FOOLISH enough to think someone can read your tarot over a PHONE LINE deserves to waste their money on them (hey, I'm willing to POSSIBLY concede that someone MIGHT be able to do it in ...

Kakarot: I have to say that if you were getting ANYTHING over 1.5Mbit d/l with @Home, you were an exception. @Home was capped at 1.5Mbit/150Kbit in most areas (it was here). I have Comcast and they swiched us to AT&T's network (it's still Comcast, but if I do a reverse DNS on the routers they co...

yes, I've ghosted a SCSI - no difference EXCEPT that if you're running Ghost from a DOS boot (as you should be) you need to install DOS SCSI drivers or the OS won't see the SCSI drive. Simplest way to do this is to boot using a Win98 emergency disk - it includes SCSI drivers which work with most con...

There's an option on the Windows Update page to show all previously installed updates. After you click on the "Product Updates" button, and have a list of updates displayed, there should be a button above the updates list called "Show installed updates". Once you have them displa...

My recommendation: Install Win2K instead

Just to clarify something, HDDs are not HERMETICALLY sealed. If they were, they would implode when you took one up in an airplane. HDD's are assembled and sealed in a clean room. There is, however, an air vent to allow air in and out of the drive to equalize pressure. There is a fine filter on this ...

I would urge you to reconsider using one large 120Gb partition. There's several good reasons: - It takes a LONG time to scandisk and defrag that large a partition. - With that large a partition you have a greater chance of data corruption trashing the whole drive. Most data corruption will not affec...

If you don't have admin privaledges, you're out of luck.

Dude, I gave you a link to a page with a PDF of the manual. I just downloaded it and the pinout of the header and all the other info you need is there.

Here's the direct link to the PDF: http://216.179.165.106/manual/pcchips/m598.zip

The first cable in Miami was uncapped. It was great for the first few months until some power users decided to start hogging all the bandwidth, then it went all to hell. Data transfer rates would fluctuate wildly and gaming was impossible. After a lot of us complained, the ISP finally implemented ca...

Bandwidth is a commodity, like water, electricity, etc. You want more, you have to pay for it. Maybe some of you don't remember the bad old days of early cable when there were no caps, and all it took was one a-hole in your neighborhood running a Warez FTP and 10 game servers to reduce everyone's ba...

Evil: Ghost will copy the contents of one hard drive to another, whether it's one or several partitions, FAT, FAT32 or NTSF. Also it doesn't matter whether or not the hard drive you're copying to is the same size, larger or smaller (as long as the drive isn't smaller than the data) You can also copy...
