I'm sorry if this has been posted, but I've scoured Google and haven't found an answer to this question yet. Is the Windows 8 Upgrade download 32-Bit AND 64-Bit on the same disc, or does it detect what you're running on your current OS and automatically download the appropriate version? I ask...

Alright, I'm just about ready to kill myself because I've been working on this for HOURS and can't figure out why my DD-WRT router won't work in client bridge mode. I had it working previously but flashed the firmware to a newer version (I've since flashed back and it hasn't helped), and I can't...

Not sure I'm putting this in the right place, but looking around I think I am. Anyway, does anyone know of a good proxy server I would be able to use that is fully functional? I'm trying to place an order online, and whenever I use a proxy they're so restricted I can't get past the order page...

Something weird has happened: on my E1505 with an X1400 vid card, the screen now blinks once before I play any video in Windows Media Player. It never did this before with the Omega Drivers installed (which I have installed again now), so I blamed Windows Media Player 11 and formatted. After the...

Alright guys, I need some help here. My buddy bought a new Dell E520 and when we try to format using a windows 98 disk it doesn't detect the CD Rom drive. The computer boots to the DOS prompt after giving us the error that no CD Rom drive is detected (and yes, the drive works fine)...

Have a problem: Whenever I boot up my computer with my DVD burner and normal DVD drive attached, the lights on both of my DVD drives come on and won't go off, and windows hangs on boot while they spin. I tried just the DVD burner alone with same result, the light comes on on the drive and...

On my comuter I can't seem to get my modem to show up in my netwrok connections, even though I'm using it to connect to the internet. Is there any way to get it to show up somehow? I'm trying to enable ICS on it and I can't until it shows up, but it only shows my ethernet card and 1394...

I have a weird problem with my laptop, although I don't consider it a major problem. If I have the battery AND AC power connected when I boot, sometimes the system will hang at a black screen before the XP loading screen with an underscore blinking in the upper left hand corner. It will just...

Get this: I setup a home network between two computers in my apartment, sharing the connection on one ad-hoc with another, which worked fine. However, the next day when I booted the computers up, NO NETWORK! I ran the XP wizard about ten more times, played with settings, etc., but no dice, I...

Alright, I've tried EVERYTHING to get WEP to work on my WRT54G router to no avail. I set a 64-bit phrase, get the four provided keys, put them into the computers in the house through windows wireless network connect settings, but only the first computer will ever work. The rest won't transmit...

I'm just about ready to pull the trigger on getting my first laptop after having only desktops for years. My current desktop is a celeron 733, so it's time for a new computer, and I've decided to go mobile this time (I don't game, so no need for the horsepower). The only thing that's holding me...

Alright, I'm trying to setup a wireless network that has NO internet connection between two PC's, and eventually an Xbox 360, all to stream media and share files. The trouble is, I can't get the AP on the Netgear router I bought to light up and work, even when trying to change the settings in...

Alright, I need more help with the laptop. I have a Dell Inspiron 5150 that I'm trying to reinstall windows on, and it keeps shutting off automatically every so often during the install. It's a legit copy of windows, I've tried two different discs even thinking maybe one was to blame, but that...

Alright, I am new to the whole notebook thing, so excuse this if it's a little bit noob, but I got a computer in for repair yesterday and I can't get the battery to run the laptop. I HAVE to have it plugged in for it to work. The battery is seated correctly, and I ran the computer for hours and...

OK, I'm going with my parents tonight to get a new HDTV for upstairs. I know my way around TV's pretty well, so I'm not a noob or anything, but they decided on getting a Sony Projection LCD TV that's 50" or something in that area. I don't know much about the LCD projection TV's, but when I heard...

OK, today I setup a wireless network at my cousin's house, and we got the computer hooked up to the net using a NetGear USB adapter and a Linksys wireless router. Our question is simple: is there a way to use the now unused NIC card in his PC to connect to a PS2 network adapter to play games...

Alright, I've been having trouble with a computer, and it's really starting to aggravate me as to what the problem is. I THINK it's the video card, but i'm going to ask you guys if you've ever had the same problem/symptoms and might know of a cause I'm unaware of... When I start the computer...

Alright, I accidentally bought 8X media the other day to use on my cousin's burner, which is a dual format 4X (it's a Lite-On LDW-411S, very common drive). I was wondering if anyone knew if it would work with 8X media without an update to the formware, and if not, if they knew of any formware...

Alright, I just formatted my hard drive and installed XP Pro from scratch. The trouble is, when using PowerDVD, the DVD's sound and picture skip a little bit. The sound is intolerable, and the picture is almost as bad. When using Win98 I never had this problem at all, and I know my PC has the...

Alright, I've been stuck installing XP Pro on a computer with a 2.5G hard drive. I know, this is extremely small, but to make a long story short there's no way around this, as the computer's owner wants XP but will not buy a new hard drive... So, after the XP install, it says that 1.8G is...

Ok, so I was telling my friend, who is a computer nut, about my idea of maybe just going wireless after all in hooking up the two computers in our home. I told him I've been persuaded due to the new wireless G specification, as it's much faster than the other wireless standards before it, which...

I hope this is in the right thread, as I didn't see one that looked any more appropriate than this... My question deals with Comwavz internet servie, as I live in the country and have no broadband options out here EXCEPT for Comwavz. I want broadband so bad I think I'd sell a child to get it...

We now have a few computers in the house and want to network them for gaming purposes, as well as for sharing files from time to time. I was just curious as to whether I would be better off going for a hub or router, and what models would be best for what I intend to do? I'm new to looking into...

I was just wondering, does Newegg charge tax for residents of Ohio? I'm getting ready to order a new computer, but if they charge tax on top of what it costs now I won't be able to afford it... Sorry if I'm in the wrong part of the forums, but since I'm ordering hardware I put it here...

I was curious as to whether anyone knew when the application to create your own D3 levels and mods would be out. I still have very fond memories of making my own mods back in high-school, and I’m equally looking forward to this…

Since I'll be retiring my old computer in the coming months thanks to my building a new rig for Doom 3, I was thinking of taking the plunge and installing Linux on my old box and having some fun with it. I'm completely new to Linux, so what do you think would be best for the box in my sig? I was...

With Doom 3 looming on the horizon, I’ve finally decided to take the plunge and get a new PC so I can play this game when it hits store shelves in early August. I’m trying to keep my price point as close to a grand as possible, but I can go over by a few hundred if needs be. I was just wondering...

Well, by looking at my sig I’m sure most of you can tell I need a new computer badly. Maybe more on how I ended up in this predicament at another time. For the time being, however, while I cannot finance building a new system, I thought I would mod my old Gateway G6-300 case. My idea was to...
