    How about a Knight receiver from Allied Radio about 1959? First one I got home didn't work. Went back to exchange and the second one work beautifully. Now have Sunfire amp and preamp.

    Mouse pointer model you're using?

    MX700, the only complaint I have is the mouse is discolored by putting it in the charger. What a faulty design that was.

    Windows XP Service Pack 2 is Available to All

    I've been using SP2 for over a week now on a single user computer. I find the firewall as good, if not better than Zone Alarm. The pop up killer works better than the Google tool bar. I leave the auto updates turned on all the time. It recognizes the free edition of AVG without any problems. No...

    ScanDisk Problem

    Can't boot up into safe mode because the next screen is the scandisk screen, which I can't get out of. I can't get past the scandisk screen, which means I can't get into Windows. I have run scandisk from the Windows98 disk, that one freezes at 3%. The freezes are consistently at the same spots...

    ScanDisk Problem

    The hard drive is using less than 10G on a 60G drive. You should be able to get out of the scandisk screen, but no buttons will work on the exit screen. Have tried every key on the keyboard.

    My grandson has my old computer which is running Windows98. He has a problem that every time he boots up, the scandisk screen comes up because he didn't shut down properly. It goes to 17% completed and justs sits there doing nothing for hours. Reboot and the same thing happens, so he can't get...

    Upgrading mobo and cpu: WinXP going to have a problem?

    It will work just doing a repair to XP. I did this months ago updating motherboard and processor. I went from AMD to Intel, Doing as a repair, you don't have to reload all your programs. You will have to do XP1a and update all of the critical updates. No matter which way you decide to do this...

    How old is your RPTV?

    I have a Mitsubishi 5061, that is at least 8 years old. I had it repaired once for about $400.00. Everybody says that the picture is tremendous. To me it looks as good as it did when I first installed it.

    Buying a Mitsubishi widescreen - should I get the built in HD or not?

    I live in Bolingbrook,IL. I bought the Mits 65513 with the built in tuner. Bought it at Best Buy and then got a price match, due to Sears running a sale. I'm glad I got the built in tuner, because Directv hasn't enough programming available yet. I already had an OTA antenna and the pictures are...

    Quick question for Mitsubishi RPTV owners

    I have the Mitsubishi 65513, and the connections are on the right, when I stand in front of the TV. I do believe your set would be the same. I know that because of this, I have had to use 12' cables instead of 6'. You can always double check at Mitsubishi's site. It's at www.mitsubishi-tv.com.

    Cloning Drives Problem

    I recently upgraded the motherboard, processor, and memory. Since I had XP OS, i did the repair install. After that I had to reactivate XP on line, which was no problem. I have since cloned my drive with DriveImage, and just to make sure that in an emergency I would be able to swap out the...

    Has anyone worked with non-on-board IDE arrays?

    The cheapest and most efficient way to backing up is cloning your drives. I think you said that you have removable drives, which would make it even better. I clone my c drive once a month and remove it from the system all together. I also on occasion clone another drive to leave at my daughter's...

    How this for a MB/CPU/RAM combo?

    I just got the Asus P4C800-E Deluxe and the P4 2.6 with a gig of Crucial Ram. The fastest, quietest, and coolest combo I've ever had. I've built many computers with AMDs, never again. The price difference isn't worth it. Took awhile, but now I'm a Intel man.
