  1. Usb Wireless Network Adapter

    in Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod

    Posted · Edited by Honda_Boy

    Which do ya'll think will be reliable enough for my bro not to get po'ed by the signal constanly dropping off

    Thanks

    Edit: since this thread was still on the first page i just decided to use it.

    I need one that is compatible with Panther. My brother and I were looking around on newegg for one but all the ones that display requirements don't say mac compatible. the rest just don't even give requirements. Again i need a reliable one but now I need to know of one that will work with my bro's G4 iMac. Thanks for any help.

  2. Searching For A Wireless Network Card

    in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP

    Posted · Edited by Honda_Boy

    Well folks cause we have 4 computers setup at my house and 2 need a connection, my bro's iMac and my Sidewinder, and I also want my old Gateway hooked up so I need a cheap but good wireless network card. It also wouldn't hurt to hookup the eMachine to keep it updated and probably use the same card for when i have to fix my grandad's system or other people's. I need a card that works well with Windows 98SE and Fedora Core 4. Unfortunately my bro has an iMac so it has to be hard wired unless someone can prove me wrong. I'm thinkin i'll just run a line to both his Mac and My rig cause i ain't playin games wirelessly. My gateway isn't goin to see much use other than general surfing and updating and ditto on the eMachine. I've already picked a router. Thanks for any help.

    P.S. yeah i know linux and mac is in this question too but it is mainly a windows question.

  4. Weird Dvd-rom Prob

    in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP

    Well the other day my brother wanted me to copy a cd for him and so i said alright. when i tried Roxio Easy CD Creator 5 while trying to check the media i stopped on track 9. well i thought it was the CD so i ripped the music then burned it. WELLLLLLL a friend of mine wanted me to copy a CD for his girlfriend and guess what? same thing track 9. so i ripped then burned. well i noticed that these were the 1st 2 copies i've tried to do since i put in the DVD-ROM. (used to have an old 40x CD-ROM). This ain't the first prob i've had with this DVD-ROM. It tends to not want to autoplay. (Finally got BF2 to autoplay but i just leave it in there cause it is my only DVD game).

    OK my DVD-ROM is a Lite-On SOHD-19SP or something like that (got it from Wally world) and my CD-RW is also a Lite-On but i have never had probs outta it.(and it also 2 years old)

    this ain't a serious prob but it is extremely annoying. could it be cause the drive is too new for the software. When i forst got the CD-RW for my last comp the Adaptec Easy CD creator 4 wouldn't work but did with roxio 5 it did. thanks for any help ya'll.

  10. Good Socket A Hsf (finally Resolved Serious Heat Issue)

    in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP

    Posted · Edited by Honda_Boy

    ok as some of ya'll that know me from the other place already know i have been having a recurring problem of overheating and i've used artic silver5, 5-6 times. so i need a new HSF. i'd appreciate suggestions on a new one that isn't too expensive and will keep my Athlon XP 3000+ 400MHz FSB under 55 degrees C

    Thanks in advanced

    **** How I fixed it. I went to my local computer computer store and bought this cheapo Cooloer Master HSF , used articlean on my CPU and then attached this HSF (had a thermal pad), whooppee temps dropped from 60 idle 63-65 load to 50 idle 52-53 load. i'm thinkin of askin for a Zalman for Xmas though, just to make sure we stay icy. Games performance has improved especially SWAT4 and BF2. it had a strange copper slab bolted to the bottom of the hsf rather than having just a small exposed area. it also has a 60mm fan fan spinning at 3500 rpms and it is whisper quiet. man I love that store. didn't go in there to buy it. went in to ask for a job :P . ****

  12. Problem With Lcd Monitor

    in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP

    Posted

    what gets me is he also dropped off a 10 year old 17 inch CRT with a mutilated VGA cable that works prfectly fine. i think he said his dad found them in a closet at his office. i am sure it is the back light cause i have to use a flashlight to see the menu on the blasted thing. i've tried every setting. the back light just flashes once every time it gets a signal. Ex. Boot the computer the Video card bios is visible for 1 second then same thing with the gateway log. then a quick flash of the bootloader. then a quick flash of the Windows 98 logo then a quick flash of green (background color) and then nothing unless i use a flashlight to see what i'm doing and change resolutions then guess what, a quick flash of my car (wallpaper).

    There what it does in a nut shell. Maybe i should take video of what it does then link it to ya'll but i'll call my friend and ask if he has another or call a repair place and ask a quote

    everythin in the monitor works except the light. even when it isn't hooked p to anything it has the split second light i then hold the flash light to it and yep it still says no signal. and i have it hooked up to the sidewinder right now along with my Dell M991 in a clone output. I can hold the flashlight up to it and see the website right now and run the scroll wheel and see it scrollin.

    Ok I just got an LCD monitor from my friend and I finally got a VGA cable for it but for some reason the backlight won't stay on for any more than 1 second. When I boot any computer I have it hooked up to it'll come on for one second then go "black" and anytime it recieves a new signal like when the windows logo comes up and when it actaully gets into windows it does it again. It'll light up for one second. Well I noticed if there is no light on it (took a bed cover put it on the monitor and over my head) and stuck a flash light right up on it and turned it on i could see the screen some so I know it works.

    I bought the cheap $9 Belkin cable. It's thin. If I bought the $40 cable that is basically the same as all my CRT monitors just with 2 ends, would it work? The one i bought is real thin and beige.

    Pease Help!

    Well to add to my day my 15 year old nerdy friend gave me 2 monitors and i handed off my dead Logitech Z-640 5.1 speakers as a trade maybe he can fix or have someone fix them. By the way the 2 monitors he gave me, a 17 inch CRT, gonna use that one as a spare cause it's 10 years old, and he gave me a 17 inch Sceptre X7 LCD monitor. HECK YEAH!!! I'm gonna use that one on my room computer as soon as a I get a VGA cable for it. MAN what a day.
