Might seem a silly question (a very long shot actually!), but have you checked for a bank limitation on the chipset? I can recall some older Intel chipsets only recognising a set number of banks on memory installed where maximum memory capacity could only be recognised if a mixed number of...

Well they f***ed you over in the first place in getting you to buy their systems, so they are only continuing to f*** you over when out of warranty.

those running beta's or rc's need to uninstall them first before installing the Final SP1. Very smooth install on the machines here with no problems at all. Systems all feel slightly more repsonsive than the RC versions. Battery life on the notebooks is noticably better than before. One...

Those Nigerians are going to want their little black box back though. Was the money being routed via Western Union though, that is the main question.

If you check out the original photo on NASA's site, you can see that the 'bigfoot' is no more than a couple of metres away from the camera, so it must be a micro-midgetfoot if it is anything other than a rock formation.

I want to know how can he be at an advantage over the other athletes if his fastest times are 3 seconds outside the qualifying times required to enter the Olympics?

No different to the UK 40GB that is the only SKU now over here for the PS3, which has been available since October 07. Looks like Sony are slimming down the SKU's to a worldwide standard & the USA will be next to get this. Look on the bright side though, at least you will not be paying the...

Have not had any problems with the Intel wireless NIC in the Toshiba Satellite A100 I am using at the moment here, nor with the Broadcom wireless NIC in the Compaq Turion based notebook that is also on the desk. Both have been working fine since the OEM version of Ultimate hit the shelves at launch.

Easy to answer this one. I used to work for O2 in the UK a few years ago (was rated fouth highest retail salesperson in the Country in my employment there). Number of Reasons. 1: As all other handsets on pay monthly or pre-pay plans are heavily subsidised by the Network in the UK, users...

His human rights are at risk & the person to blame for this crap is the wife of the former Prime Minister, Cherie Blair (if truth be known she was the one running the country into the ground not Tony Blair). Since she got the Human Rights Bill passed in the European Courts (the same European...

Those that didn't already know this with regards to WEP should NOT be even touching a computer let alone configuring a wireless network. WEP has never been fully secure and easy to break into. Those who rely on WEP deserve all they get IMHO.

Don't say us in the UK actually got something before North America!!!???!!! These watered down 40GB PS3's have been in stores here for a few weeks now and are not selling in all honesty due to the 60GB software emulates PS2 compatiable version being £50 more with a better games bundle! Sony have...

Works fine here on the Ati X1400 based notebook running Vista Ultimate 32bit and the wifes machine running a cut down Nvidia 6100 card under XP Sp2.

I haven't used AV software on any of my personal PC's since Windows 2000. Didn't see the need for it in all honesty as I never had any problems with infections nor anything flagged up that I would have opened as attachments. I agree that most home and business users should use AV products if...

More fool the people who actually bought one of these over-priced and underperforming POS's.

Nope, it is just that we know how to protect our systems properly.

My inbox is like Kyle's (probably not as many useful emails though) each day with PR mails from freshwater angling companies regarding their new products, and some of the claims they make are 'out of this world'. Same as Kyle, I have questioned their claims (sometimes on a daily basis) and some...

Installed these beta patches on the notebook that is running 32bit Ultimate Edition here. Boot times are cut by 3 or 4 seconds, which is significant amount of time given the speed of the 2.5" HDD in the notebook. Aero Glass seems to be more fluent when watching video in windowed media...

Now that is some serious copper on the first board!! Nice to see legacy ports on the decline now in favour of more USB ports. I know Abit tried to do this 5 or 6 years back with the AT7-MAX series of boards, but they soon reverted back to the dual PS/2 ports. Also nice to see dual eSATA on...

I have been told by the manager of my local GAME store that it is because the company are struggling to sell ANYTHING PS3 related apparently to their pricing system. Generally GAME's prices are £2 or so higher than the competition and even their own website for the same item.

I am sad to see this way of evaluating the whole process of buying systems go, but at the end of the day, advertisers won't plow money into advertising campaigns if anything negative is said about their products or services, and there is no point in having advertisers paying for page impressions...

Oh Boo Fricking Hoooo!!!! So Apple have put back OSX Service Pack 4 (as that is all it really is) by 4 months. Big deal, bearing in mind that Apple charge their mugs, sorry users for these 'service packs'. I have it on very reliable & good authority due to my contacts within one of the...

When it was owned by Tom Pabst back in it's advent (around the same time that Scott Hermanson, Anand & Kyle started their respective sites) it was much more informative than it is now with PROPER TECHNICAL articles. Then allegedly Mr Pabst sold out to the almighty currency of his choice to the...

Let me hazard a guess that you are running a RAID array here (I haven't read the machine specs), and if so this is NOT a Vista problem as Photoshop CS2 has a habit of doing this on systems with RAID configurations. Adobe acknowledge this as well on their Support Pages. I can tell you that CS2...

Disable UAC - Control Panel - User Accounts - Turn User Account Control on/off Volume Control - Right click the Taskbar - Select Properties - Notification Area - Untick the box for Volume Control

Finally sorted it out!!! It was the drivers for the Logitech DiNovo Media Desktop I use with the Laptop causing the problems. Nothing was flagged during the upgrade scan, but as soon as I unplug the Bluetooth hub it works fine. Strange I know. Searched Logitech's site tonight and found that...

Update: Just performed a clean install of Vista Ultimate, and the exact same problem again immediately. It will just not download any files and closes the web browser. I have even tried a VLK version of Vista Business and the exact same thing occurs as well. Nothing is listed in the...

Toatally agreed. Classic Theme isn't that hard to find is it????? Making the icons the standard size also isn't a problem. My own theory's are that things will get better and the launch of Vista is no different to the launch of any new MS OS, as they have all had problems in one way or...

Sorry but that is incorrect. I have a A8N-SLI Deluxe board here running 2 x 1GB Modules (Kingston) and 2 x 256MB modules (Adata) with no problems whatsoever. Using the latest BIOS & an X2 3800+ running @ 2.7GHz. Runs sweet with Server 2003 R2 on it and shows all 2.5GB. As long as the pairs are...

You could use a Windows PE edition with Symantec Ghost built into it. As long as you have your RAID drivers on a floppy disk, you should be able to image the drive from the single to the RAID with no problems. I have never had a problem doing it this way myself.

Yes I did and it was empty of errors & warnings.

Thanks for the replies chaps. Given up with it now as I haven't got the time to mess around with it at the moment as got deadlines to meet for article submissions for the magazines I write for. Restored the Ghost image of XP I made before the Vista install (always do it as you never know & in...

Hello guys, first post as I can generally resolve 99% of issues without hassles, but this one has gone right over my head!!!! I am hoping that somebody can help! On Thursday, I took the plunge & upgraded my perfectly functioning XP Pro SP2 VLK installation to Vista Ultimate Edition (I got the...
