Everything should work fine together. My only gripes are with brands you've chosen. For example: I would choose an ASUS or ABIT board over Biostar. Other people have varying preferences, but I don't think Biostar is the starring brand choice for anyone. Also, I would highly recommend getting a...

I looked around and couldn't find the laptop listed on toshiba.com. Regardless, in my experience, if they do not list any specs for a video card, it means it has a very basic one (ie: intel graphics). What kind of games is she trying to play? If she is going to play flash games or other simple...

Well, if I had a program they wanted to get a hold of and it was very important... I would probably upload it to a File Sharing network. That way, everybody has it. But if I actually wanted to get rid of it (then what leverage would I have? See Enemy of the State?), I would probably get a...

What AT said... plus I am curious what applications/games you were trying to run that you had such a hard time with. I understand my needs may be different from yours and the squatters, but I lack for nothing even while running only *nix. I know it is likely too late to bale out the sunken ship...

Weird... I'm only running linux and I'm headache free. Well, except when I'm at work, fixing Windows computers. To be fair though, I can't afford the "luxury" that is Mac. To each his own.

My mind is blown :-O

I don't think I've ever seen that problem before, personally. I have a few suggestions and if you have further questions/comments just post back. Boot to safe mode by pressing F8 as the computer is booting and see if it freezes up in safe mode. After you boot to safe mode, I would suggest...

**Preamble: /Fred is not a fan of DRM, despite the following words** I had pre-ordered the game since I own every other C&C game on the market (legally even!). I picked it up and took it home only to find out that my product had shipped with an invalid serial. It shipped with four sets...

Dang, what a jerk! I was hoping to just bug him until he gave it to me. How unfair! Sadly, I'm barely kidding

A bit late, but happy birthday B!

Ok, well the only Windows XP that recognizes SATA drives without using a driver is Media Center. If you are not using Media Center, you'll have to get the appropriate drive from WD. I had difficulty finding this driver, maybe it'd help for you to call WD and ask where you can get a hold of it...

First off, next time don't thread jack but instead just start a new thread. Aside from that, you said you put in the disk... what disk did you put in? A hard disk, a cd? Secondly, go here and download drive fitness test cd image and burn to a disc. You should put that disc in your computer...

Well, I'm not sure of the answer to your first problem. I had that same issue way back when and never found a way to resolve it... it bugged me quite a bit. As for your second "thinner" panel... right click on the panel you want smaller and go to configure panel. **At the top of this screen...

Hi. Welcome to Hardware Forums. Yes, wrong section. I moved the thread to General Chat

I hadn't heard of it until you posted. Since then I googled it and got several hits, but nobody seems to know what is causing it. I take it this is happening to you? If so, you should try "reseting" IE7 through the Tools menu.

If you're not even getting a BIOS display and no beep codes (beeping coming from the computer after powering on), it sounds like you may have a bad motherboard. Unfortunately, diagnosing/repairing laptops are a huge pain compared to a desktop. Honestly, it may not be worth your time and effort...

Glad to hear you got it working.

Do you get the BIOS splash screen and then the blinking line? Or when you power the laptop on, does it go straight to the blinking line without ever seeing the BIOS? If you see the BIOS, we need to check for hardware failure: Go into the bios (Usually F1, F2, or Delete) Change the boot...

su vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf Your resolutions should be in there. On the other hand, I wonder if it would help to install the drivers from nvidia's website... That's assuming you used whatever PCLinuxOS came with.

You can get whatever video card your motherboard/Power supply will support. So do you know what motherboard you have or whether it takes AGP, PCI-express, or just PCI?
