I'm betting that this is application specific and that there maybe an option under the settings of Outlook 2002. I'm not sure where however cause I'm still using Outlook 2000 Perhaps there is some info at microsoft's site about this.

Windows XP does the same thing, I think I have some devices using IRQ 29 or there abouts You would have to change the HAL I believe, to a standard PC type which would then allow you to allocate manually, but I don't recommend this as you most likely don't need to do it. Also, if you're not having any issues with the sharing of said IRQ's then I wouldn't worry about it

It's working for me now, maybe some issues in between both of us. @Alien, what ISP do you use? I'm on Comcast Cable so there maybe a link there.

I always wanted to know something about Mozilla and some of the other browsers that kill pop-ups like this. Has anyone been to any sites that test for pop-up killers/stoppers and tells you to take a hike cause you're using one ;(

Not sure really, but I bet if you read the fine print you could find out exactly what they get outta it

I too like the new BETA Google bar, I use it in conjunction with Pop-Up Killer and they do a good job of catching most of them

I would also make sure to have the latest nvidia device drivers installed, perhaps the reference drivers from their site rather then the manufacturer of the graphics cards version. Also try going into the BIOS and look for the AGP options, set this to either 1x or 2x and turn off all the fastwrite and sidbanding options to see if stability comes back or not. Also try installing the latest DirectX, v9.0b I do believe. If you have previously installed them then try re-installing once more. Since you have the SB Audigy 2 like me, be sure to get the latest web updates from soundblaster.com or use their handy auto-update feature.

Of course the best OS was omitted from this poll so hence my Others vote. I guess I can date myself somewhat and say that I think AmigaDOS is the best thing since sliced bread

You have one of the older Thunderbird core Athlon CPU's. They do run quite warm so the need for some new thermal transfer compound was good as you can see by the difference in the temps now As for the core voltage, I'll have to look at AMD's website. They usually have the info there. EDIT: well that core voltage is normal, AMD says the voltage should be 1.75VDC and 1.76VDC is within specs. As for the maximum die temp, that one is supposed to take up to 95C but I'm sure it was better that the machine locked up as I bet the core would have fried otherwise. EDIT2: also you didn't mention the make/model of you motherboard. It's most likely a VIA chipset based machine. Please advise You can get the latest VIA 4in1 drivers from here

DO you mean to custimize the bar or what ?!? Please clarify this, thanks If you mean the history of recently visited sites then you can do this easily assuming you're using Interenet Explorer that is. Click on the Tools menu then select Internet Options. Under the General tab you should see a History option. Adjust to suit your needs.

I've seen this before, you'll have to do what it says and/or find out what base address it wants to use and see if you can manually change it. Also note that I've only seen this occur very infrequently so it's not common and I don't remember exactly what I did other then to disable some unneeded devices via the Integrated Peripherals.

Interesting, then do you have the Ethernet connection on the modem going to a WAP then ?!? Is this something like a Linksys or Netgear WAP/Gateway box ?!? Could be an issue with a setting or something causing this in the WAP instead, like a timeout of some sort.

Did you get your replace power/wall pack from Comcast yet ?!? I received mine but haven't had this problem. Basically there is a note inside the package that describes this very problem and that some power packs are defective and need to be replaced with the one they have supplied.

When you looked at the properties for the device that didn't have enough free resources, was it indicating that there were not enough free memory I/O addresses free or IRQ's free or both ;( One thing I always do for my boxes is to disable all the onboard junk I don't need for instance I have a USB printer so I turn off the LPT port. I don't have any serial devices so I turn off those as well. This has free'd up 3 IRQ's and 3 base addresses for each. Also check the settings for the onboard sound, you can usually change things like wether you want to use the legacy midi sound or not. You can choose to turn this off as well but if you leave it on then check out the settings, the IRQ, the Base I/O address etc... Also you can just to be sure, reset the CMOS to factory by unplugging the power cord to the PS, then removing the CMOS battery then moving the clear CMOS jumper to the CLR position for a few minutes. Then reverse the process afterwards and go into the BIOS and see what the factory settings are. This will also clear the ESCD tables which could be corrupted right now and causing some of these resource issues.

Interesting, I've built a few boxes using Aopen graphics cards based on the FX 5200 and I didn't notice any slow downs like you're describing. I do know from personal experience that sometimes you can get a lemon of a piece of hardware, perhaps a replacement is in order Also I have an FX 5600 in my gaming rig and it's doing just great

How about re-installing DX9 again, just to be sure

So your Toshiba is also a notebook ?!? Seems like you should get somewhat decent framerates but that dropped frames issue could be a problem with the virtual memory kicking in and swapping to the hard drive. Notebook/Laptop HD's are still either 4500 or 5400 RPM drives due to the power consumption. Not sure when they will have a 7200 RPM drive available that will give some added performance to the disk subsytem. Take a look at the HD busy light when the frames drop and the games hit a wall and see if it's busy or not. This can be an issue with either notebooks or desktop machines. Also make sure you have the latest nVidia ref drivers v44.03 installed. I have a 5600 in my gaming rig and it holds up pretty well

I think this is the best thing, having a lab to work on and test things like this out yourself and posting your findings to the rest of us I too am glad when somebody is able to figure this out for themselves, good job there Budious

I don't think you're going to get too much game support under NT4.x just because there are DirectX issues. There is some sort of hack out there that seems to allow NT4 to have up to DX6 installed but I can't remember where, perhaps I saw it on this very forum as well I understand you not wanting to upgrade to say 2K/XP but for many games this is a requirement due to the DX requirements of so many games now a days. If I find that hack link this may help out but don't count on it. Also another possible issue is the use of the onboard Intel graphics, this is great for a general purpose workstation only. You want to play games and/or graphics work you should consider another graphics option, especially if your board has an AGP slot on it

Yes on the first one, most ISP's have a policy against sending to too many recipients via one email, this equates to spam to them. Ask this client the name of the provider and talk to them about how many the mail server will accept before rejecting it, you may find it to be pretty low, like say 25 or even 10 Also talk to their provider about perhaps setting up a hosted forum and/or newsletter via the provider. Many of them have this kind of service where users will need to sign up to receive a periodic newletter or mailing as it can be called. As for OE, not sure what the limit is, if any. Could be the amount of ram in the system or who knows. You'd have to check out Microsoft's site for more info on this one

This is the best I can do for you, not sure which of the matches comes close. There's also info on this page about savedumps and such

Quote: P.S.=> Costly yes, $499 is the price from what I've read, but I surely would get one were I building a new system (which I AM researching for my nephew, Dual Xeon 3.06ghz setup... speaking of which, anyone know of a Dual Xeon capable mobo that takes RAMBUS/RDRAM? All I have found is DDR type... thanks if you do!)... apk Ah nope, the only ones on the market use ECC-REG DDR memory. I've built about 50~60 over the past year and I got to tell you they rock Most of them only take PC2100/DDR266 but perhaps when the 800FSB Xeon's are released we'll see support for PC3200/DDR400 8) EDIT: well now, I spoke too soon Here you go and the Google search

Most likely you won't find a mobo that will have onboard sound and not onboard graphics, at least not in the P4 arena unless you go to one of the high-end 875 Caterwood boards. The cost of a board with onboard graphics is most likely not going to be a major cost factor, if at all. Most boards will disable the onboard graphics when it detects an AGP card installed. If you get an Intel board, remember they don't allow you to tweak much in the BIOS but not everything messes around with these anyway.

This is why there is a slower version called iDSL which can go for a bit longer length however the up/down is limited to 144kb The biggest issue is the actual distance between the residence/business and the local CO(Central Office) of the ILEC(Incombent Local Exchange Carrier) or you local Telco if you prefer. This has no bearing on how close you are physically as I've seen some of the routes that some lines have taken to the local CO and they were not pretty 8) Now inside the premises you can sometimes extend the length of the cable from your machine to the phone jack where your xDSL service comes in but it's better to get a jack as close as possible, if this means having the Telco route some new cabling in the premesis then so be it, you'll have shinny new copper then
