98 sometimes does that. No good reason for it. You can do one of two things: You can click Start->Search->Computers on each 98 system and search for the other computer by it's network name. Then make a shortcut to it. Another workaround is to install the NetBeui network protocal on both the 98 syste...

Plain.

I don't get this new craze. A phone is a phone, a laptop is a laptop, a palm is a palm and a gameboy is a gameboy.

Anyone know if the free AVG will work on Windows 2000 Server?

Just curious. Never tried it. I know the standard versions of NAV and McAfee don't.

I carry a couple of the Linksys 10/100 USB adapters in my kit, and one is on my bench. Handy for getting a system I've taken home to work on hooked up to broadband painlessly for driver or update downloads. Very handy, easy to use, quick install. Keep in mind that USB only supports up to 8Mbit data ...

Only issue is if you overclock. O/C stability can be a problem with multiple sticks.

Hmmm.... can you say fake? I'm not sure, but think about it. WHY would you ask someone to call your wife and tell her you were caught cheating on her? Telling her you were fired, yeah, but cheating? Why even give her the idea? How is that even funny (from the husband's point of view)? Even forgettin...

Did you download the latest NVidia Detonator drivers? Don't use the drivers that come with it.

Did you completely uninstall the software and drivers for the old card? Most modern vid cards have an uninstaller option in the control panel's Add/Remove programs wizard.

Sean: Not sure. Otherwise it's completely compatible with 802.11b systems.

Also, they just came out with 54Mbit units here: http://dlink.com/products/wireless/airxtreme.asp

Service packs are not like security patches. SP's are to bring an OS or app up to compliance with new standards or hardware. For instance NT 4.0 worked just fine out of the box, but years later you needed SPs to upgrade it to use larger capacity drives and other hardware that didn't exist when it wa...

I just bought the D-Link 614+ Access Point along with a matching PCMCIA card. It supports 22Mbit by using two channels. Works pretty well. I can even reach it from my gazebo (the AP unit is right by a window) which is over 25 feet from the house.

The Live has major issues with PCI IRQ Channel sharing. If you have problems (lockups, random reboots, etc) move it to another slot.

Better yet, throw that Live card away and buy a $15 C-Media card.

Well that was impressive. Not 30 minutes after I posted on thier forum I got a phone call, an apology and a refund for the CD-Rom. Guess the forum is the way to go. They are going to change the catalog entry for the Cd-Rom so it says system pull instead of OEM. He tried to tell me that some of the d...
