Registry damage? Try and get a registry fixer and see if that makes a difference. I remember the last time this happened to me was because my registry was badly damaged. Good luck, Mike

Hey all, I signed up for something at my workplace where I'll be given the very final beta version of Vista (only available to OEM's, major brands, PC retailers and technical support call centres) and given 40 hours of intensive training learning about all the new features and diagnostic...

Thanks, and also the exact model of the AGP graphics card you're using please. Other hardware you have needs to be listed to so I can assess how much power your PC needs to run and how much power it's getting or needs. Thanks, Mike

It is possible that the AGP port is damaged but the best way to diagnose a problem is to exhaust all other possibilities first. It's always best to check if it's something that can be resolved without replacing a part before coming to the conclusion that buying a new part is inevitable. You...

Since you first used the 2.66ghz on this new board, do you reckon it could be possible that the voltage settings have been automatically set to lower than the new CPU requires (and maybe the bios update doesn't make the mobo able to change the voltage, rather instead just lets the board...

Agreed...

Hotkeys differ depending on your VGA, laptop model, or desktop manufacturer. On laptops usually it has something to do with the Fn key? Mike

How good is your power supply? Remember that anything plugged into the AGP slot is drawing power from your main wattage and if your power isn't sufficient enough, your graphics card can fail to work (When I used to have power issues the first thing that malfunctioned was my VGA) Mike

Oh it got solved... To hell with my original post then haha... Always the wires and connections man... Always... Happy computing :) Mike

Firefox FTW

I'm not a Linux guy mself :/ I'd use it but I'm too big a gamer and worried my games won't work as well on Linux as they would on XP... Finland eh? You get the fantastic Sonata Arctica, and we get... Girls Aloud :( Unfortunately Ebuyer and Microdirect delivery by national courier, so can't do...

Could it be that your CMOS battery is faulty/depleted and making the complementary metal oxide semiconductor (I just had to say it haha) forget that the HDD is there? What do you think Karanislove? Mike

Was there ever a time when your external hdd DID work? Try a system restore to that date? start>all programs>accessories>system tools>system restore

Well, there seems to be a bit of confusion but I understand how I could've caused it... There's the Athlon (Now flagship 64bit processors, used to be 32-bit on sktA boards and earlier), Sempron (budget processors capable of 64-bit but definitely not for gaming), Duron (obsolete), and Turion...

Have you tried plugging a USB device into the same USB port? Also check the USB cable you use to link the external HDD to the USB port. Is there any damage? Are you able to change the cable to test if it's that which is faulty? Just a few things worth trying... Mike

Well getting into the BIOS is different dependant on your motherboard... Sometimes you have to keep hitting delete when you start your PC up, or sometimes it's one of the F keys. When your PC does its power on self test with all the writing on the (usually) black screen it might say "press * to...

Does it appear in the BIOS? and do you have any other USB devices that don't appear in My Computer when connected?

Watch him go and turn the monitor upside-down... And his admin pride will make him say "That monitor is a special edition one... From Japan... They read things er... Upside-down..." *runs away*

Looking at the graphics on upcoming games like Crysis and Bio Shock... How much better do you think graphics are going to get? Crysis looks sweet as These faces are impressive I'm finding it very difficult to imagine game graphics progressing much more than they have already... Perhaps the...
