Right... I downloaded and tried installing OpenSuSE ... wouldn't even install! It's wouldn't detect my DHCP settings to download the rest of the install! Needless to say, I gave up on that. So I downloaded the whole DVD ISO for Mandriva 2007. It burned to disk fine and installed wonderfully...

Well, I found what you meant when selecting a video driver so I chose the VESA driver instead. But instead of getting the error message, I get some bongo drum sound through my speakers and the monitor just powers off! I'm trying another distro ... if I don't get any luck with this one, I give...

It never game me an option for that, I don't think. I know at some point, it asked me to type what card it should be identified as (or something like that) and the gap was already filled in with my card so I just clicked OK.

I've just spent all day installing the latest version of Ubuntu (dual-boot with XP) and after finally installing it, I've become completely stumped ... As soon as it boots, some error message pops up "Failed to start the X server (your graphical interface). It is likey that it is not set up...

Think I've solved it ... Tiscali has been throttling p2p ports (I was using 10666 for Limewire), which slows my whole connection down, not just the p2p software. I changed the port to 443 and seems to be a hell of a lot better! Fingers crossed, it'll stay like that! :EDIT: Now using port...

I'm not sure whether there is a problem or not but it bugs the hell out of me! Say, for example, I'm using a P2P program and downloading at a total of 60 KB/S (I have a 5MB line), I go to surf things on browser and it takes forever to load anything (like dial-up speed). I don't understand ...

It's definately not keeping the ignition switched on too long because it does it regardless of how long it's switched for. I've been advised that my starter motor isn't disengaging when it should and a rip-out and overhaul/lube job should do it. And I've had trouble with Halfords before ...

I've tried Bittorent and Azureus but still the same ... but I'll give that more of a chance because I've only been downloading files with not many seeders. I'm think UKOnline will be getting a ring tommorow ... if it is them throttling my bandwidth, then I'm requesting my MAC code! It defeats...

I've changed the port from default but sill no luck. At certain times now, I'm lucky to get over 5 KB/s! I've already run speed tests and they confirm that my speed is as it should be. When I download things through my browser (:ff: lol), I'm downloading at an average of 150-160 KB/s. Same...

I've set up port forwarding and everything else I can think of and they're all correct ... but I've been hearing that ISPs are limiting bandwidth on P2P software ... I'm with UKOnline and I can't find anything on their website that states this but it seems very strange that one minute, I'm...

This is really strange ... I've been using Limewire Pro for ages now and I could usually download at an average of 100KB/S (I got a 2MB line). Now then ... all of a sudden, my downloads will go no faster than 20KB/S, no matter how many hosts there are. I could have several files downloading...

This my new baby (I say new but ... !). She's my first car!:D She's a Fiat Bravo 1.4 SX with a cool air freshener ... that factor alone makes it better than any car! hmmmm ... lol

Being a 'trained' mechanic, I should know this but I've been out of the game for a while so need some advice! Just got a Fiat Bravo 1.4 SX (my first car!:D ) and it starts OK but makes a horrible grinding noise just after it starts and the noise goes away after a second or two. Does anyone...

This may sound competely crazy or could be a good question but either way, my excuse is that I've hardly ever used Linux (SuSE and Knoppix briefly)! My question is ... can you play Windows games (like HL2, Doom 3, etc) on a Linux machine?

A friend of mine is trying to find a new laptop but I've never had one myself so I'm not very good at finding them! The budget is arounf £700-£800. What advise could anyone offer when buying a laptop for the first time? What should I look for? I found this laptop which seem to me to be good...

Just in case anyone else has the same issue, I solved it by flashing my BIOS to the latest version ... after I did that, I could overclock with no issues!

Are there any good fans that people can recommend that push out a lot of wind without the wind-tunnel sound? I've heard of Panaflo but 1, they're difficult to find and 2, I'm sure there's gotta be better! I would like a new 120mm case fan that I would be able to adjust using a Coolermaster...

I have hardly any posts but wish I could get more (I don't have much time on my hands!). The most I have attained is about 500 in total on some Hippy forums I visit frequently (Yes, I would consider myself a peace freak! lol)

If I knew where u were, I'd probably sell you my Sapphire Radeon 9600XT that I don't use any more for about the equivelent of $100! lol

I had the exact same problem ... try switching the polarity. Worked for me! (simple answer but I know next to nothing about electronics so ... !!)
