I have a notebook that I created a while ago, before I knew how the software really worked. I believe you have to specify in the beginning if the notebook will be shared or not. I have one that was not shared, but I want to share and sync it now with my laptop using windows Live.. is that...

Ok sounds good. But does RAID1 allow the rig to keep running when one disk dies? Just power down and swa p drive, power back on? Or will the system still crash and hang? It would be nice to minimize down time in a business environment. If I have to reinstall windows and all programs even w...

is there any real benefit of going RAID1 with 2 SSDs vs single SSD and a 1TB HDD for backup, and maybe external as well as suggested?

I am trying to finalize what to do for storage on my new build. I have a small office, and my PC will be used for general multi tasking, as well as hosting quickbooks data file and other company data (about 2 GB) for 2 other computers in the office. I don't want to build a separate server...

Thanks for that. anything special I should do to help out network HD access? Also MC has been out of stock of i5 2500k for a while.. I should have jumped on it! only reason I was considering i7 2600k was because it was 279 am MC, and everywhere else the i5 was only 50 bucks less.

I was going to do a budget upgrade on my rig in my sig, but I have some more funds now. 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Work primarily, hosing as a quasi server for data and quickbooks for my small office, lots of internet and outlook use. some...

BTW - i have the wrong case in my sig, its an old one. Its like this one here, full tower, except I added an acrylic side window which has an additional side mounted 120mm fan just next to the vid card. I had purchased a ton of water cooling parts to do the conversion, but never did it :( Thanks

Thanks a lot guys. I wouldnt mind doing a mild OC on the i5 if its stable enough with that Asus board. Also, MC has i7 for 199.. wortt the extra 20 bucks?

I should mention I live close to a Micro Center.. it seems their prices for processors are great!

I am looking for the most cost-effective way to recycle what I have already: What I have now (per sig) P4 530 3.0 @ 3.6 ... Asus P5AD2-E Prem ... GeForce 9600 2x1Gb OCZ DDR2 667 Mhz ... Hitatchi 500GB HD ... Seasonic 600W PSU ... Lian Li 6077 Full Tower Case ... Samsung T260 Monitor...

Great, thanks for info.

OK.. i think i have traced it to Windows Update. What would make it hang every time it tried to update?

I cant figure this out, and I was going to wipe my laptop (in sig) and upgrade from Vista home premium to 7 Pro.. but I learned the hard way that I first need Vista pro (doh...). Anyhow, almost everyday I get a lock up where nearly all programs stop responding if I click on them. Mouse...

I called to get an additional license to allow my assistant to log into my QB Pro 2009 (single user). They of course said I need to buy 2 licenses.. one to upgrade, and one more for the new user. Their price was 380 for 2, and it would be a single license for 2 users, which "links" them...

Alright thanks.

I need to get something cheap (pref around 500) for medium office use. I am hiring an assistant soon.. I see so many freakin options for processors, etc. I'd like a regular tower with 4GB of ram, capable of having lots of apps open (excel, several IE/firefox, skype, quickbooks, scanner...

OK Wait.. i have the info. what am I looking for?

I've been going crazy trying to figure it out. Its my Dell XPS Studio 13 running Vista laptop from 2 years ago. The HDD light goes solid, and all programs start freezing. I can still move the mouse around, and sometimes click around, but as soon as I click a program it will stop responding...

Different case.. this one has 90s I believe, 1 front, 1 rear, and one side. I was going to watercool a long time ago.. hence the res. Never did it..

Sorry, the P4 rig listed in my sig: Lian Li 6077 full tower case Seasonic 600w PSU ( GeForce 9600

Decided to just cannibalize my P4 rig.. using that case, power supply, and graphics card.. same setup should be ok? (mobo, cpu, ram, but will get new HD)

uses 2 120s

LOL I realized that after the fact.. I have a spare Lian Li mid tower I will use.

cool, good lookin out.

I need a new rig for my office. I am currently using my Studio XPS13 C2Duo /GeForce9400M laptop w external monitor and keyboard. Works ok for internet, multiple apps, etc for the most part. 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Work and gaming. I...

Will try, thanks.

Today I came back from lunch to my frozen laptop. had to reset. On reboot, I got a bad checksum error for CMOS, and it reverted back to last known config I think.. Continued to boot, but my keyboard was not working. no USB. then it would connect to internet via firefox, but not to MS...

I have Malwarebytes software, and Eusing Registry cleaner which I've used both. I also unchecked that box and retried program access/defaults.. nothing yet. Even with mail, and other things, I cant change the default.

Every since I uninstalled Google Chrome (crashing and freezing way too much) I had a problem where no links would work. I would get an authorization error. Then after playing around, I got links to work, but only for IE. Still can not get them to work from Outlook. Everytime I change Program...

My bad- I was thinking of my laptop.

Ya I started out with X800 Pro in my current rig, then to X1950XTX..

Yes, exactly how its described in sig.. Really, that sucks, time for a new machine then? and I have a dual core processor.. not that it makes much difference?

I also have a X1950XTX and want to upgrade.. man I feel stupid paying 500 bucks for that thing right when it came out. I play WoW 1920x1200 and maybe FEAR/Crysis in future, is the 4890 worth the extra over 4870? I would also like to be able to run SLI when I upgrade my board in the future. I'm...

Not familiar with those but will give it a try! last time I paid for anti V, it was Kaspersky, which was great

I just got a new Dell Studio XPS 13 and it came preloded with the above software. However, whenever I am connected to wireless, I get this annoying popup that takes 15 seconds to load telling me of every IP of every machine connected to the network and if I should trust it or not (for...

great, thanks for the help.

My problem has gone from bad to worse. It used to be that I would have to jiggle the jack to get the thing to charge, now its a 5 minute ritual of finding the exact spot its happy at. Now its 20-30 minutes and nothing. It may have a short, as it shuts off my 100W Targus charger 99% of the...

Fixed.

I have all windows updates except for SP3. Someone had success with doing a repair install so I went ahead with that. What a mistake.. didnt have my product code and couldnt get it to cancel or finish. Finally found a DOS based program to retrieve it, and finished the install. It was with...

OK After some research, it seems like my problem might be the system file "Plug and Play Software Device Enumerator" which is attributed quite often to the "no audio device" problem where everything is grayed out. I am told to delete my audio drivers, but I can only delete 1 out of the 5 there...
