Four and Twenty

i forgot i had an old amd 133 that ran on an old 586 board or something like that. doesn't really matter that thing sucked. i also had a couple old intel 386 that never gave me any probs.

i was the biggest mac lover / bill gates hater you could find back when macs were cool. Like clutch said i had a power pc with os 7.something and i had a pc with ms dos like 6 and a half dozen batch files that i made to do repedative tasks. Macs were the sh1t! (the key word there is were)

coming from someone who has had it all i have had via: abit KT7 raid, msi K7T Pro 2, Asus A7V (all via KT133) I have had intel: Intel 440BX, Tyan Thunder 2400 (i840 chipset) I have had ATI: Rage Pro something, i also had an older vivo pci card from them I have had matrox: g200 pci, g400 agp w/DV500, g400 DH I have had Nvidia: TNT2 M64, GF2 MX400 after experiencing all that in various combos i like my current setup the best Tyan Thunder 2400 + GF2 MX400 (the rest can be seen in my sig) All the via boards had various stability issues relating to the sound graphics and modems mostly. Also had usb problems and all sorts of diferent random fukin bsods. The ati cards were ok i did not notice this great video quality infact as far as i am concerned they were the worst video quality. I would get all these goddam lines accross my screen that would appear randomly. the Matrox cards were great i love them but they leave something to be desired for gamming. The visual quality is only slightly better than nvidia in my opinion. The nvidia cards i have had were my favorite great for games great for working in photoshop or whatever. they were allways the cards that stayed in my workstation. back to the intel via issue i just upgraded my p!!! 500 on 440bx to dual p!!! 850 in november 2001. I would use the 440bx with the 500 any day over the 1ghz on any of the via boards. With via my mp3s would skip, my file transfers were slow, the system would pause randomly, BSODs with nvidia, matrox, sblive. INTEL + NVIDIA + NT = WORKSTATION/GAMING BLISS - all the headaches as Jay and Silent bob would say: Fuk via, Fuk them up their stupid asses. nuff said <off topic> er um one more thing: my name is treetop and i'm higher than you'll ever be! can anyone name that song?</off topic>

that is via for ya

is there a way to turn of the photoshop page file requirement if i could do that i could just shut off the page file entirely. but since i gotta make websites to live i kinda need photoshop. 512megs of ram here

I have been rebuilding a website that I made about a year ago. The rebuild is an all asp driven site connected to an ms access database. I pulled the tables and java scripts off of the old page and put it in an ms access database and the whole thing has been working great for about a week. then this morning at like 11:30 i get this error when I use any of the pages that atempt to add or change the values in the database. ___________________________________________________________ The page cannot be displayed There is a problem with the page you are trying to reach and it cannot be displayed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please try the following: Click the Refresh button, or try again later.

But as i said the iis was workin perfect on my computer for like a week and then all the sudden i get this error. so i have checked all the directory security and whatnot. whats more non of the database driven sites will run on my computer if they attemp to delete the values in the database. wtf! clutch do you know what to make of this

so i could get like SQL server? and that would do it? BTW i got my iis working by adding a workgroup file to access. I think that my problem has something to do with the "_derived" folders that interdev has added to my directories.

i have office xp and visual studio 6 i need to get me a copy of VS.NET cause i have a site hosted on a .NET beta server and i would like to start using some .NET code asap since i am just getting started i want to learn the latest

i would also like to know the answer to this question as the conservativefileusage tweak does't do jack

access xp

never tried win2k on my current setup but xp runs fast as hell. no 100% zipfile useage don't know what the deal is with that.

how do i make an sql database i am willing to learn. I just learned asp over the past week. I was using java/css/html which worked ok but was a bit of a management headache. Now with asp i can integrate all the java/css and generate all the pages on the fly from a webeditable database. So if I can just make an sql database just like that and start askin it to do stuff i am all for it.

it is definatly driver related try pulling all pci cards and putting them back in one by one. that will narrow it down real quick.

reinstalling didn't help now i am really confused.

nope nothing like that i was sitting there working on my computer then one minute it worked and the next minute it gave the error and has given the error ever since. I am reinstalling right now cause i got too pissed off and i really need to get it to work so i can get some work done.

it used to work with access opened now it doesn't i checked to make sure that it is not read only in the database. But this happens with a bunch of other databases that i haven't touched for a long time. any time you try and delete a value out of any database it returns that error.

i am getting pissed off and when that happens i start thinking about reinstalling windows. I don't understad why it would work then not work

eddie figured out that he had installed style xp and uninstalled it but it leaves the dll modded i could send you a modded dll that is on my computer i don't have style xp installed anymore but it modded the dll and left it there so i can still use third party skins

Nvidia is the sh1t. All Nvidia problems that I have seen seem to be related to via chipsets. Stick to Intel/Nvidia and you get a nice stable system.

when i capture with win movie maker it drops no frames when i capture with premiere 6.01 it says that it does't drop frames but i only runs at about 1 frame per sec when you play back captured clips. If I import clips into premiere that were either captured with win movie maker or downloaded from somewhere they play fine. But anything captured off the firewire in premire i only get 1 frame per sec. I have tried all the settings and tried reinstalling premiere. I have tried premire with and without the update. I have tryed using generic drivers for my Sony DV camera with no luck. It must be a software issue cause crappy winmoviemaker can do it just fine withou skipping a beat. Do you guys have any idea. I guess i could try premiere in compatability mode but i don't think that is gonna help.

ok i just had another look at the problem and it seems that it is only the playback in premiere that is coppy if i make a divx out of my choppy looking clips it is smooth as can be. anyone know how to make the video play smooth in premire. BTW I don't think it is a hardware issue here as you can see from my specs below i have more than enough power to run this. My specs below don't inclue a firewire card and hard drive that i added today. and the playback is not choppy if i veiw the clips that premiere makes with win media player. also i can capture to any one of my hard drives (system/firewire/storage) without dropping frams it is just clip playback inside premeire that is choppy.

Dell Dimension XPS-T Series Case For sale or trade. Very nice mid tower. Would like to keep it but I need to get money for This Enermax Full Tower Case. Takes up to a full sized ATX board ATX Power Supply - (not included) 2 x 5-1/2" external bays 2 x 3-1/4" external bays plus one internal plus a built in floppy drive the case is modded with 2 extra leds for my raid card and such, you can see the leds above the zip drive. This computer has been my most prized computer and has been treated with the utmost care, so the case is in exelent condition. Sorry about the bad picture I took it with my crappy webcam. I will add some high quallity pics tomorow or later tonight. Asking $70 plus shipping. Or perhaps a trade I am looking for: *2 x 7200 rpm ide drives for raid array (must be same model and at least 30Gb) *sound card (Turtle Beach Santa Cruz/Audigy/Game Theater XP) *Full Tower ATX Case. *Good FireWire Card *decent cd burner (8x or 10x) *decent monitor for dual monitor setup (17 inch and up must do 100hz) *nvidia based pci card (tnt or better - gf2mx is perfect) PS after I sell this case all I will have left from my original dell is an internal zip drive. Come to think of it I may aswell sell that also. Iomega 100meg internal IDE Zip drive asking $15 with case or $20 plus shipping otherwise. Trades excepted here also if you have something that I want that is worth more than the stuff i am selling I would definately pay the difference. If you are interested at all let me know. Email

Random Question about email what is the minimum # of characters that an email address can be like my friend wants to set up t@hisdomain.com but the form for seting up email accounts with his host doesn't allow anything less than 3 Characters to pass the form. So is 3 the minimum number as rule or does his host just suck?

almost all linksys stuff that is not a network card has had problems like this. Their routers and hubs have problems with sustained uptime. They will work for a while then crap out and work again. Linksys = pile of sh1t the only wireless setup that i would buy is the cisco one. I Have used that at work alot and it is badass. I think it is like $900 bux for the cisco staion and 3 cards, so that is probably why you have the linksys one. Linksys sucks, have always sucked, and will probably continue to suck. 2nd rate hardware = 2nd rate performance/stability, like look a via for instance. you get what you pay for sorry to lay that on you bro just my opinion
