Actually, they are breakable. I dropped mine and the cap broke off, so I figure it's useless... so I ran over it w/a car. Front wheel didn't do anything, but the 2nd roll w/the rear wheel cracked it down the side!
I saw a link in RossGr's siggy about his proof that 1 = .99 repeating. It was awfully long and I didn't quite follow it all the way through, but it is wrong to just say this:
1/3 = 0.33...
2/3 = 0.66...
Since 1/3 + 2/3 = 1
and 0.33... + 0.66... = 0.99...
then 1 = 0.99...
:-( I tried swapping the RAM (512mb of Crucial PC 2700), and flashed the BIOS too. I'll try messing w/the physical HD and cables later today. Thanks so far for all of your help guys. I've been thinking, my computer used to run fine under Win2k but that was a long time ago. Maybe I'll format...
Here's a popup window that just appeared on my screen:
IEXPLORE.EXE - Application Error
The instruction at "0x77f517e2" referenced memory at "0x78004b2e". The memory could not be "written".
Click on OK to terminate the program.
I updated every driver and security update, scandisk, defrag, ran 2 registry checkers and the problem still persists. Maybe this is an excuse for me to try upgrading some of my hardware :-)
There's no BSOD or restarting. I noticed it just happens when I access my D: (second HD) in My Computer. When that happens, a popup window comes up saying "Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry...." Then it gives me an option of sending an error report...
Well, my problems keep persisting. I did a clean format of my HD, reinstalled WinXP, and 2 minutes later (and every 2 minutes) my explorer.exe keeps crashing and windows asks if I want to send in an error report, bleh bleh.. Here is the error signature:
AppName: explorer.exe AppVer: 6.0.2600.0...
I formatted and have all the latest drivers, cleaned out my registry and everything in the OS is clean. The problem still persists. All my fans are running and I normally keep my case open. Maybe I'll try borrowing another power supply to try that.
I've recently had a problem with my computer freezing up a lot. It seems to happen mostly when I'm playing video on the computer -- I can never play more than 5 minutes of video w/o my comp freezing up. I installed a fresh copy of WinXP and it still does the same thing. I've swapped out my...
Hey all, I remember modifying a Promise Ultra66 by jumping 2 pins w/a 100 ohm resistor a while back to make it into a RAID card. Is it also possible to do this on the new Maxtor ATA/100 PCI adapter cards? If so, can someone tell me which 2 pins to jump and w/what type of resistor? Or better yet...
