    Unzip in one click?

    Winrar will almost do one click - use the right click on the file and choose "extract to <name>". It will create a folder with the same name as the zip and extract everything into the folder. If you do not have the context menus, you can enable them in Winrar's preferences.

    Win 98 wireless network support

    I'm confused - the second computer uses a wireless adapter connected with Cat 5? Connected to the NIC in that computer? Care to clarify?

    Extracting images from exe's

    Just curious if you have tried a program like Winrar to see if it will extract them? If you have, there is always "Print Screen", paste and save (you got time, right?). ;)

    What the heck IS this?

    Stuff is at C:\WINDOWS\provisioning\schemas. The files I have are these: Looking at the dates, stuff has been there a while. I had a VPN set up in 2004. Could it be related to that?

    What the heck IS this?

    Win XP Pro - Looking thru my HDD, and I run across a "provisioning" folder. Inside is a "schemas" folder. Inside here are a bunch of *.xdr files. Not hidden files or folders. Anyone know what provisioning schemas are? I dont remember seeing any of this before. Might have just missed it though. I...

    newegg sell 3pin - 4pin converters? where?

    Dont know where or if Newegg has them. I get most of my fan stuff from Nexfan. They have your adapters here. These have the RPM wire also. Nexfan has $6.99 flat rate shipping - maybe you want to order your fans there. I will look around the house and see if I have any laying around. I'll PM...

    Very true, but it does help me out - gives me a good idea what each component will use on average. I can take it from there. Thanks for the link!

    How much is enough? I got a gut feeling I'm pushing the edge...

    $90, $95, $100, whats the difference? Budgets are made to be blown, that way you can justify not cutting the budget next time. And the 120mm fan is a definite plus. I had one in my old case and I loved it - very quiet and moves lots of air. Kinda odd, but I got a call today on a dead PC...

    How much is enough? I got a gut feeling I'm pushing the edge...

    Yeah, I've come to realize this. Now I am just looking for excuses to buy something. My motherboard is maxed out - no room to grow. I dont have enough for my new rig, nor can I justify a new rig. I CAN justify upgrading marginal equipment. That Neopower 480 2.0 looks kick ass! And it can be...

    I will check the prices - as nice as it would be, I dont think the PCP&C stuff will fit my budget. Still trying to stay under ~$90. Tx!

    How much is enough? I got a gut feeling I'm pushing the edge...

    My next system will most likely be a 939 - after the prices drop. I need to buy a truck first. I dream about both.... I followed your link - I used that years ago on one of my earlier builds. I was actually looking for that page - thanks for the link! Unfortunately it looks like the...

    What would you guys recommend then? Need something half way quiet. I've heard good things about the Antecs, mixed reports on the Enermax, and more or less "cult" raves on the Fortron units - those that have em say they are one of the best. What do I look at?

    Damn. I was hoping to spend some more money. That's OK, at least I can get some sleep tonight. Maybe I'll buy one anyway - just for the extra headroom. Thanks for the info lith.

    No the motherboard does not have a 12v 4 pin connector, HOWEVER, the vid card is an XFX 6600GT, which DOES have an auxillary 12v connector. Too much?

    How do you know how much power you will need when purchasing a PSU? Yeah I know, check the ratings on all the stuff, add it up, VxA=W, blah blah blah, there you have it. My problem is that I have been adding stuff to my rig over time, and I just dont know what kind of power my stuff will draw...

    Deleted registry file, anyway to recover?

    I can offer you this: I found the key in my registry. What you do is copy the text below, and paste it into Notepad. Save the file as a text file (.txt). The file name is not important, just call it what you want (i.e. document.txt). Probably save to the desktop for easy access. After it is...

    Can you guys help me out?

    Ok, done deal - bought a card. ZZF had the XFX 6600GT 128M for $124 AR, free ship. Rebate only good thru 7/31, so I jumped. Nice price, card should serve me well. Thanks for all the help! http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=321018 EDIT: BTW, the 6800 linked at the...

    Dude, the 6800NU - holy crap! Back in the day I could have bought 4 cars for that kind of cash. Not nice cars mind you, but still. Way more power than I need right now. Still looking aorund, buying something next week. Input is appreciated!

    Thanks for the Toms link - I remember seeing that a quite a while ago, but couldn't remember where (dont really hang at Toms). The 9600XT is a nice card, I just wanted something a bit, well, more. I looked thru the 3Dmarks, and the 6600 and the 9600XT are very close, but both cards get...

    Can you guys help me out?

    That PowerColor 9800 is a great price - not a Pro, but that's OK. Refurbs are OK on some things, but I dont think I would buy a refurb vid card. Especaially a 9800. I heard those things have artifacting problems under load. True? The XFX 6800 - I looked at that one. Rebates are not that...

    If you had to pick one piece of hardware....

    My Alpha PAL 6035 heatsink. While I have changed fans a few times, the heatsink has been on all 5 AMD machines I have built for myself over the last 5+ years, including my current XP2000+. I do believe this is about the end of the proverbial road for this one - I run up to 50*C in the summer.

    Your First Builds

    AMD 650 Tbird - socket A. The only problems I had were the jumpers on the HDD and the CDROM both set to Master, and the HDD LED was connected backwards (50/50 chance of getting that right). Booted right up afterwards. My biggest mistake was buying a crappy PSU and motherboard. PSU I replaced...

    What OS should I use on my older (P3 700 MHz) laptop?

    I got an IBM A21M P3 700MHz with a 10G and 128M - Windows 2k runs just dandy on it. I recently upgraded to 320M RAM. Worth the $$. I wouldn't even think of going to Win98. I find 2k to be a bit faster than the XP install I tried.

    Laptop LCD discolored pixels - opinions

    Well KISS my ass - the damned thing works fine now. The only thing I did was 1) move the laptop from the living room to the computer room, and 2) updated DirectX. Can DirectX actually make a difference? Or did my moving the laptop jostle something back in place? Whatever, it works and I'm happy...

FYI the system in question is an IBM A21M 2628 E1U. I will look thru the advanced settings when I get home and see what...
