Hello

Last night I bridged my connection between my Wireless and Local Area Connection to see what would happen (stupid idea). I then removed those 2 connections from the bridge, disabled and deleted the bridge but somehow it is still there. My wireless connection now has no internet connectivity. I noticed a new adapter is present when I go to Control Panel -> Network Connections and it named 1394 Connection 9. All I want is for my wireless to work again. Please any ideas on how to get this stupid bridge removed? Thanks.

Hi. Our modem recently stopped working and we had to use our old one And now when i download stuff the download-speed only goes to about 275kb/s - 345kb/s when with the other modem it was up to 600kb/s - 1MB/s Why is this? is there some settings wrong or something or like a block? We only have one computer on the network and it worked fine before. Dont explain to me in any REALLY hard ways cuz im not really a computer expert.

Hi. I have recently received the DVI to HDMI cables I had ordered last week. I have one of them connected right now and everything seems to work fine except that, when I run Warcraft 3 I get an error that says:

Warcraft 3 was unable to initialize DirectX. Please ensure you have DirectX 8.1 or newer installed and that your display drivers are current. DirectX may be found on your Warcraft 3 install CD under Options.

Previously I had been using component cables and an S-Video to component converter piece. Why would changing cables give this error?

My computer:
DX 11
Nvidia GeForce 7900
Samsung LED 7100 TV (for a monitor)

Hi Friend.
I would like to know Can a computer work without a CD-RW drive? can any one tell me more about this.

Thanks,
James

After expe­rien­cing dif­fi­cul­ties with his com­pu­ter, a poor, incog­ni­zant user called the sys­tem maker’s tech­ni­cal sup­port line for assistance…

Tech­ni­cian: Hello. How can I help you today?

Cus­to­mer: There’s smoke coming from the power supply on my computer…

Tech­ni­cian: Looks like you need a new power supply…

Cus­to­mer: No, I don’t! I just need to change the star­tup files…

Tech­ni­cian: Sir, what you desc­ri­bed is a faulty power supply. You need to replace it…

Cus­to­mer: No way! Someone told me that I just had to change the sys­tem star­tup files to fix the pro­blem! All I need is for you to tell me the right command…

For the next ten minu­tes, in spite of the technician’s efforts to explain the pro­blem and its solu­tion, the cus­to­mer ada­mantly insis­ted that he was right. So, in frus­tra­tion, the tech­ni­cian responded…

Tech­ni­cian: I’m sorry. We don’t nor­mally tell our cus­to­mers this, but there’s an undo­cu­men­ted DOS com­mand that will fix the problem…

Cus­to­mer: I knew it!

Tech­ni­cian: Just add the line ‘LOAD NOSMOKE.COM’ at the end of the CONFIG.SYS file and everything should work fine. Let me know how it goes…

About ten minu­tes later, the tech­ni­cian recei­ved a call back from the customer…

Cus­to­mer: It didn’t work. The power supply is still smoking…

Tech­ni­cian: Well, what ver­sion of DOS are you using?

Cus­to­mer: MS-DOS 6.22… Tech­ni­cian: Well, that’s your pro­blem. That ver­sion of DOS doesn’t inc­lude NOSMOKE. You’ll need to con­tact Mic­ro­soft and ask them for a patch. Let me know how it all works out…

When nearly an hour had pas­sed, the phone rang again…

Cus­to­mer: I need a new power supply…

Tech­ni­cian: How did you come to that conclusion?

Cus­to­mer: Well, I called Mic­ro­soft and told the tech­ni­cian what you said, and he star­ted asking me ques­tions about the make of the power supply…

Tech­ni­cian: What did he tell you?

Cus­to­mer: He said my power supply isn’t com­pa­ti­ble with NOSMOKE…

If I have three PCI expansion slots, do I need three PCI buses on the motherboard?

Hello,

Thank you in advance!

Hi, I installed the Release Candidate (RC) version of Windows 7 about a year ago and now it is expiring..the computer restarts every two hours. So, I need to install my previous operating system which was Vista. I have tried a ton of things and nothing will work. My laptop is an HP and has a normal hard drive and a recovery drive which has my older operating system loaded on it (The computer did not come with any actual disks with recovery software or the operating system). My problem is that I cannot access the information in this drive. I can't find the "recovery manager" software anywhere on my computer, because it was not included in Windows 7 RC. I have tried installing Windows Vista Ultimate upgrade, which didn't work - it said I need to clear space on the partition (but i cant find a way to access my partitions and delete Windows 7). I also tried installing upgrades for windows XP Home and XP Professional which didn't work either.
I appreciate any help you can give me..
Thanks!

EDIT:::: PROBLEM IS SOLVED SOLUTION I PUT AT BOTTOM

Hi I know nothing about video cards etc. but my brother gave me a video card: NVIDIA GeForce 6200

anyway i tried to install it with the cd & all it seemed like it was all working but then when i tried to do something that would involve the video card like watch tv on my computer or watch windows media player it would freeze my computer forcing me to restart so i switched back to putting my monitor wire into the old video card and now my monitor wont recognize it & says "No Input" & jus goes to sleep AHHH so now I cant do anything on my computer without it freezing at this point i dont care about the NVIDIA video card I just want my computer to work how it did with the factory video card

its a HP Pavillion a6257c
original video card is: Intel® 82945G Express Chipset Family

sorry if i didnt give enough information im just completely stuck with this ask if you need anymore information



EDIT: i changed what i said the video card was up top

EDIT 2: When I turn my computer on i just noticed I'm getting this message
Incompatible display adapter has been disabled.
"At least one display adapter on the system has been disabled because it's driver is not compatible with the driver for the VGA adapter."



EDIT::: after hours of trying different things i finally uninstalled all the drivers to both video cards & everything that poppped up having to do with video cards / video drivers then i shut the computer off completely removed the new video card from my computer & plugged my monitor into my normal video card turned my computer on & it worked!!!

Hey ive been having an extremely frustrating problem with my computer. I had a HP pavilion which would instantly go into sleep mode when i turned on. The fans would spin and led light up, but the keyboard, mouse and monitors would go into sleep mode. There was no beeps from the motherboard and since the computer was 4 years old i decided to start over new.
I decided to buy all the comp parts and assembly it myself. The only thing i took from the old computer was the hard drive, video card, and dvd. When i turned the new computer on i get the same exact problem as the first hp. It doesnt load up to the standard starting screen. Ive been stumped for a few days now, help would be greatly appreciated.

About a week ago I got one of those annoying malware programs and I couldn't get rid of it. I ran spybot in safe mode but when I restarted the computer the malware program kept popping up so I would open task manager and just end the process so that I could continue working on my computer. I figured I would download a better anti-malware program and deal with the issue later. I kept putting it off and now the malware program stopped popping up, but I can't open any exe files without right clicking them and running it as an administrator. I have Windows 7 btw. Any ideas as to how I can fix this?

Hi all and thank you in advance for any help you can give me here, if any at all because i'm not sure that this is even possible. OK, here goes... Right now i have my work computer scheduled through bios to automatically awake at 8 in the morning when i come to work, as soon as i get there, however, i need to log in to windows, then into a program that i use for billing which then runs an automatic back up of the previous days information. This whole process takes nearly an hour and gives me a late start on my day. My question is...is it possible to set up a scheduled task that can somehow enter in the passwords that i need for windows, as well as this billing software, to run prior to my arrival without doing away with the passwords all together, as i work in the medical field and this information is very privileged and very private so the passwords must stay...i know this is a ridiculous request and a paragraph of typing but this is my first question on here and i dont really know the proper way to ask...
thanks for any help.

Right, i'm trying to set up a proxy server that is undectable by a filtering system. (Tru view?!)

I have a server and a domain name and have tried a few proxies such as glype but these all get picked up. I have figuered i most likely need an SSL one?

Can anybody give me any suggestions on one, why its not working so far, and anyother suggestions on what to try?





Thanks

My system:
Motherboard:Asus P5L-MX
Prossesor:Intel Pentium D 2.8ghz(Thats a 2.8GHZ dual core prossesor)
RAM:2048MB(1 Stick)
Video card:Winfast PX9400GT(1024Mb)
PSU:500w PSU from a company called L&C,Model LC-B500E.
Lets go on with the problems...
I get artifects while,image coruption,BSOD(sometimes),Freezing(Mostly followed by BSOD) and low fps.
These happen only when playing games(mostly the newest ones that have good detail).The FPS I get while playing games is very low.For Ex.:
My friends has a Intel Dou 2ghz prosesor,2GB of RAM,Nvidia 8800GT(512MB) and runs Crysis smoothly on high setting(30-40 FPS,800x600).
And I can BEARLY run Crysis on low settings 960x600(Goes between 15-30 FPS)( ).Same things goes for Dragon Age,Even tough my PC is a little stronger.
I mostly put the detail levels in game on High,but the FPS is low unless I drop to low,then it works smoother but still low FPS(20-40)
I just wanna know:Is this caused my an underpowered PSU,or is my video card broken? The card I have is a remake of the original 9400Gt,But with more RAM,Higher clock,Physx support(So Bassicly its better for gaming than its original).
Help anyone?

Hi,
My Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop was working just fine few days ago. But from yesterday it started hanging randomly. I will have to restart the computer and then again in about 15 minutes the computer freezes and the clock stops and displays the time when it went wrong. The mouse does not move at all. The light for the hard-drive stops blinking and just goes off. Then if I tried to press an keys, the computer beeps and I will have to manually restart it.
I have run virus scan on safe mode and it did not pick up anything suspecious.
Can someone please help me out here?
Thank You in advance.
Hurray
