Sorry for the delayed response guys, and thanks for the suggestions. No, I can not boot into safe mode. I see the windows logo and the computer crashes. I really don't want to do a clean install since that will wipe everything out, although i did try a repair and that did not work. I...

Issue with Ghost Cloning windows drive

OK, so is there a way to copy everything over without having to completely install Windows from scratch? I want to keep all my settings and software installed instead of having to re-create everything.

I have a question about using Norton Ghost to clone a hard drive. I have a Dell laptop for my business with Windows XP SP2 installed. I was wanting to make a clone of the hard drive and put that image on a drive in my desktop since it is much faster and use that as my work computer. The...

Radeon 9500PRO woes

I had the same problem. I couldn't overclock the system or the video card, and running 3D applications, even at stock speed, would cause the computer to crash. In my case I sent the card back and got a new one. No problems after that. One thing you could try is making sure your power supply...

Intel 810e Video Graphics

Does anyone know if there is a way to change the video memory allocation size on an intel 810e motherboard with onboard graphics? I know this is a crappy chipset, but one particular game requires 16MB memory, and I thought there was a way to change it, I just can't remember how. I did a search...

Yeah, he does, but I worked there for 3 years, and once he got sick and could not do the commercials any more and tons of people asked about him. He may irritate some, but people love him.

Radeon 9500 Pro Lockup Problem

Thanks. I might try a bigger power supply. I have the most up-to-date AGP drivers, so I don't think that is the problem.

If you wanna run linux (or can get XP Pro for $5 for being a college student) can I sell the XP Home license on eBay? I believe this config includes XP home. Yeah, if anyone know this, I would like to know. I am going to buy an Inspiron 8200 and do not want to XP Home that comes with it.

Dell Deals: (1.6ghz 24x cdrw desktop $560 1.4ghz laptop $1200)

It looks like the Dell laptop is a good deal, but it looks like the Gateway P-4's are better. If you add any options to this laptop, which is already pretty stripped down, the price goes up quickly. For $1499 you can get a gateway P-4 1.4 GHz with 32MB Radeon, DVD, 256MB ram and 14.1" screen...
