Hello I have a T30 with a P-4-M of 2.0GHZ(0,13nm)(mainboard: i845MP), my problem is that i never saw in programs like PCWIZARD 2006, CPU-Z, HMONITOR, and WINDOWS SYSTEM the clock in 2.0ghz, even running benchmarks, or something else, every time is in 1196MHZ or 717MHZ, My system is a Windows XP SP1The Energy profile is in "Alway On" also i tested "Desktop", and i disabled the SpeedStep in the BIOS, but the same problem...any know what can i do??thank's

Hello, my brother is goint to buy a laptop, he needs a IBM, because he use software that only runs in Windows 98, and the only brand that give support for older OS is IBM. Also he needs a laptop with serial port, So he has 2 alternatives, the IBM T40/41/42 (Centrino Based) but these ones doesn't have serial port, And the IBM T30 (P-4-M 2.0ghz), any knows if this one is a good laptop for work? (Including battery life)Thank's in advance....

I tryed, but the problem continue, i want to know something:1)do you know a program that uses a microphone to setup your speakers? That program should create a sound from each speaker and, using the input from the microphone, set up the dB values for each channel i think (for example make rear speakers louder if they are too far behind). Because as i know, the manual setup console that creative labs uses doesnt work as it resets the values after each restart. 2) Maybe a little off topic, but worth trying: Do you know a program that can normalize your mp3 songs (it would be the best if it had some sort of batch processing, where you could select a directory and the program would normalize all the mp3?s in that directory to a certain level)? Because i want to get rid of the well known problem: when you copy some mp3?s to your mp3 player and play them, some of the songs play a lot louder, some have relatively normal volume and some play a bit silent on the other hand... and its impossible to adjust (normalize) EACH song in some sound editor... thank's

Yes ,i solved the problem adding the mime type for the .flv videos. Thank's

Hi There, 1) I have the Audigy 2 ZS soundcard accompanied with Creative Gigaworks S750 speakers (btw. they ROCK!!!). All drivers for audigy are up to date. I have concerns regarding the Audigy CMSS function, that should make the mp3?s sound from ALL of the 7 speakers. The problem is that all the speakers sound OK except the rears, that have only about 10% of the volume the other speakers have (the games work absolutely properly in surround mode, in EAX for ex). And the problem is not in the surround mixer, all the speakers are set to 100%, the rears too... The CMSS is set to the SECOND option (makes the best results i think) and the speaker configuration is set to 7.1. And there is a slider in the right part, by which you can adjust the FADER, in other words you can adjust how much volume the front speakers will have and how much rear. And here is the problem, when i move the slider down, naturally the REAR speakers should go louder, but they remain the same and the SIDE speakers go louder instead, so there is NO way to increase the volume of rear speakers when listening the music (i use winamp 5, if that matters). All this changes (and works properly) only when i change the speakers set to 5.1 in the THX console, but that has no use for me (the sides are completely OFF in that case), as i have 7.1 speakers and so, naturally, i want 7.1 setup. And when you dont hear the rear speakers, you simply absolutely dont have the feel of surround CMSS sound and thats what worries me. So id like to ask whether you have the same problem or you know a solution that could possibly help me or other ppl with such problem. Thanks in advance! Really thanks in advance for ANY help!!!

Hi, About a week ago, one of our laptops has started having problems connecting with the router. The laptop is an inspiron 5100, xp home sp2, and the router is a netgear. The router's a couple years old and doesn't have wpa. The laptop will connect without encryption, but when wep is turned on, it will detect the network but can't connect. No software changes recently, and the router settings haven't been touched since it's been working. The only thing I can think of that might have changed the wireless software is an automatic update. I've tried system restore, but no luck. I reset the router as well, but no change. Any ideas? Thanks

Hello! I am going crazy for a silly little thing. Please help me anyone! The icon for ZIP files never shows the way it is supposed to. Instead it insists on displaying the Windows 'default document' icon for ZIP files. If I rightclick a zip and choose icon properties, I can set the icon to be fetched from the winzip executable instead, and all looks fine and dandy inside the properties dialog, but after refreshing or repairing icon cache it is still the default document icon that is displayed. If I try to change the icon enough times it will eventually start to display a miniature version of the correct ZIP-icon *inside* a normal sized 'default' icon ('default' this time, not 'default document' as above), a bit like as if the default icon was pregnant with a baby zip icon. This applies whether I have it set to display small or large icons. If I uninstall winzip and reboot, I get back to 'default document' icon. And then after reinstalling Winzip there is no change at all even though during install the ZIP files were supposed to be associated with Winzip. Doubleclicking yields a dialog asking for which program to execute with. After I associate it here with the winzip executable, the icon show up as default pregnant with baby zip. I get a feeling there is a hand of darkness resting over the display of ZIP file icons!! Somewhere tucked away in the registry there seems to be a mean-spirited little icon kidnapper sitting and holding on very dearly to the ZIP icon. What is wrong? I am going crazy!

I tryed a lot of things but i had some lucky after all, because the router stop working last week, so i returned it to the retailer, then i sold it on e-bay, and then i bought a D-link 524 that has a lower range but is very faster and never loses connection, Any of you know if can i change the 15Db antenna for a better one?

Just recently I tried to get into the registry and a window came up and it said: (Something about an illegal instruction) then: CS:9fff IP:0054 OP:db ff ff c3 e7 Then I had a choice to either ignore or abort. I chose to ignore and then another similar one came up, again, the choice to either ignore or abort. Again I chose to ignore and another one came up. I think you get the picture. In total about 10 windows popped up one after the other. I just tried to open it up now to see what it says exactly, however, now the command window pops up for about 1/2 a second and then disappears. I remember one of the windows saying something about 16 bit window in a 32 bit window or something like that. To help you with this is my computer particulars: Windows XP Pro - Version 2002 Dell D600 I'm not sure what else I could tell you to help you with, so please let me know if there is anything else you need to know. Thanks alot for this. I can't beleive that you are all willing to take time out to help others and I just wanted to say that I think it's pretty cool.

I bought a DLink-524 wireless router, because I am getting another computer and a laptop and I wanted to share the network. I am running AOL with Broadband DSL which I have had for some time with no problems. Here is the setups (Like I said I am new to routers) DSL modem > Router > Computer (As the manual said). There is an ip to connect to to configure the router. I can get there no problem, and configure it (pppoe). But it doesn't connect. It seems that the only way I can connect to the internet is directly from the modem to my computer. Am I missing something here? All the cables and lines work, and I am up-to-date with my Firmware. I read somewhere that AOL doesn't like MTU above 1400, so it's set at 1400 (no Idea what it is). Anyone have any idea of what I can do here? I would gladly provide any/all further information about my computer to see how to do this. (Another NOTE: This is only the server computer, I haven't even begun the 'wireless' aspect of it yet)

There is some more information follow-up to share. In my first post, I hadn't remembered everything I learned from the day. For those of you that might think you can get by with "generated" keys, heed this: While trying to assess this offices' problems, I was given two separate messages at the update site and the validation site. One was that IE 6 was not the version expected; and the other was that Outlook Express was not the version expected. I can only gather from this (educated guess), considering the deep integration of these two programs with the OS, that the use of a counterfeit key somehow prevents the complete fusion between these three. Even if the owners' kid found a "hack" around the validation site, IE and OE will not update! This businessman is going to wind spending double or triple to fix his problems than what it would have cost him to go legal in the first place. If he doesn't, he will be operating with poorly maintained comps as far as security is concerned. Before I wrote this, the latest prices are $50-$60 for Home & under $100 for Pro (as per Price Grabber). For goodness sakes, unless one is poor, that is not a lot of money for a pretty decent operating system.

I've just come from a new prospective customer's office. I was called in to troubleshoot why his machines (six), were rejected in getting updates. I did not set up his units. This, I must share with our community here. After being initially LIED to, I finally got the truth from one of the gals. The owners' son set up the office. Talked dad into saving some bucks by not buying six copies of XP Pro. He borrows a friends' XP and comes in with a "GENERATED LIST OF PRODUCT KEYS". He proceeds to install Pro on all the machines using the counterfeit keys. Now, each installation program eventually accepted one of these; and the initial Activation process obviously let it through as well. The problem comes in retrieving Updates. Microsoft has a "Validation" screen one must get through before the patches can be downloaded. This extra check point retrieves the key, using a keyfinder utility, from the Registry, and cross-references it to a legally issued list of Product Keys. (Servers can hold an awful lot of data). The program determines the bogus nature of the comps' key, and denies access to the updates. Firstly, I was flabbergasted that a business owner wouldn't want to be legal software-wise; and secondly, to have a problem with an $850-$950 layout? It might have even been less if they called M$, and asked to "buy" five additional licenses. I think you can get a discount in that scenario from the retail box full-version price. I never cease to being amazed at the colossal stupidity of some people!!!! I got paid my 2 hours min; but I walked away from this low-life and his business.

Hey there everybody! I need some help. Here's the problem. I have a Linksys Wireless WRT54G v5 router, which, I think, is acting up. First of all, I can't get port forwarding to work! About three month ago my port forwarding was working flawlessly, I could use download clients like DC++, or BitComet, or have an ftp server running, etc... Now, whichever ports I use, nothing seems to work. Plus, in clients like DC++ where you're connected to several hubs, the connection to the hubs is constantly dropped. On top of that, the joke's on me actually, because people can download from me, but I can't download from them! Now, that's not the end of the story, when many computers are connected at my house to the router, the internet connection is extremely slow, well I shouldn't say the internet connection, because when I connect just one computer directly to the modem everything is fine.So, I will say that the router connection is slow. Pages load for ages, even when I try to connect to the router to administer it, it takes forever! My friend told me that it might be due to the fact that I use 128bit secure connection, so I turned that off all together, didn't help! Then I went to the extreme of upgrading the firmware version, which didn't do much either... Anyways, to make long story short, what am I to do? I am thinking of just buying another router, was thinking of D-Link DI-784 AirPremier? Any suggestions? Anybody else experienced any problems like these? Thank you in advance!!! Notice from BuffaloHELP: Refrain from use words such as "problem with my..." Take topic title and description very seriously. Editing.

I have a WRT54G v5 router and ADSL with PPPoE and I'm experiencing problems with the router dropping the Default gateway periodically. After browsing this forum for similar problems and hopefully solutions with no luck on the solution part I decided to chat with Linksys. The guy I chatted with suggested that I should try changing the router's IP address to 192.168.2.1 instead of 192.168.50.1 which I had set it to before. In my ears the tip sounded like rubbish, but I gave it a try and it actually seems to be working. A sufficient amount of time hasn't passed yet to deem the connection 100% stable, but the improvement so far is still remarkable. Now the router hasn't dropped the gateway for, oh say a couple of hours, as opposed to before when it dropped every 15-30 minutes perhaps. Perhaps this is something for you guys as well? The other tip he shared with me was to set up the PPPoE connection in the modem instead of the router if the above procedure didn't work, but I'm hoping it won't come to that. If the procedure with changing the router's IP-address should prove itself to be a working solution, it will of course raise the question: Why? Is it a glitch in the firmware perhaps, and will it be fixed to allow freedom of choice pertaining to IP-address selection in the future?

Hello, i have Debian "Sarge" in a DvD, and i want to install it in my dell d600 but i want to know if all this hardware is supported, or is better if i first donwload all that i goint to need, because if i install it but my lan adapters doesn't work then i will have some difficulties:This is my systemCentrinoLCD SXGA (1400x1050) Pentium M Banias 1.6 FSB 400Mainboard i855PMATI RADEON 9000AUDIO SIGMATEL 9750Intel PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3A MINI PCIBroadcom 570X GigabitThank's for your help!!

How efficient should a decent gigabit net be?? I am missing something, I'm afraid, as I only get about 64 mb/sec, or around 6-8% effiency, unless I missed a power of ten somewhere I used the PASSMARK network test and got these figures for 2 machines [cat 6 cable, cpu usage approx 35% for each] over 30 seconds. I have 2 intel pro/mt1000's, through a trendware gigabit switch on a network with only these on it. I have offloaded all calculations/checks as possible, and tried jumbo frames. It doesn't seem that about 7% efficiency is correct. any ideas what I'm doing wrong, or a better way of checking?? It certainly seems a lot faster, but I must be screwing up my math somewhere

Hi, Thanks in advance for all possible replies. This is the cross-road we're in: We need very large storage and NAS are expensive. We do need data to be safe also. We will install 4x300GB drives. Need RAID 5 The two choices we have are: 1) Buy a PCI RAID card like INTEL SRCS14L (4 port SATA1 hardware RAID w/64MB cache). Or 3ware or any other reviewed card in THG last SATA RAID which are very powerful, have hardware XOR offload, auto-rebuild, battery backup, cache, etc. This cards are quite expensive, and the computer that is serving data today is an Athlon XP 2000+ which is hot. 2) Get a D955X or similar, with ICH7R, and use the Software RAID, move to a P4 3GHz or so, 1GB RAM, and use the software RAID 5. Which might have the same final cost of a hardware RAID solution. This "server" only does file-serving. Will use Windows and maybe SFU (Services for Unix) to give NFS support... This last choice will also add to that computer a GB Ethernet, x64 support, etc. What I don't know, and there is not too much info on Intel site, (or is too hard to find) is how does it works with Auto-Rebuild, how much CPU will the XORs take, etc. And mainly how safe will data be? If I format the boot drive, will it recognize the array? Any other info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

i have a laptop with 512mb that have only 240mb free , this is the maximun amount of free memory that can i obtain?Ok, it's obiusly that adding a new module of ram is the easiest way, but i want to know if without the new module the amount of free memory could be bigger.Thank's

Hello, i want wo make a list of all the things to optimize the memory in a computer, now i have WinXP and 2 sessions one for gaming and the other for all the other things, so What can i do to gain more memory in the gaming session?1.Reduce all the visual effect of windows.2.Closing 3rd-part software.What more...????Please tell to us your experience.........

Ok so the machine in question has a old 5400rpm drive with WindowsXP on it. I'm considering replacing it with a long over due upgrade to a Raptor 10,000rpm. My motherboard has the input so that isn't a problem. Rather, the problem is that I can't transfer all Windows files to another harddrive by simply copying them over. Also, I've been having a lot of problems with my current setup and figure a clean install of Windows would be just as well, killing two birds with one stone. But I remember having to submit a code to Microsoft when I originally installed windows as a security precaution.My copy is legit, but I'm unsure if I can install it again on the same computer with a different HDD. Is it legal? Or would I have to buy another copy of Windows? (lame) I certainly hope not. Seeing as how broadband is not available in my area, that good fellow Mr.Bittorent will be unable to drop a free copy on my doorstep.

I have a Dell D600 and is really good, but sony have better designs, before you decide what laptop/brand/model to buy think in theses things:-Do you want a really mobile computer or not?For example my laptop weight 2.4kg versus the IBM 41G that weight 3.7kgThis things have a directly relation with the system specification and with the battery autonomy,For example while my dell have an Pentium M 1.6, the ibm have a Pentium 4 3Ghz HT. While my dell can run 4 hs in battery the IBM only 2hs. (this times are calculated using Word and with the lowest brightness)-The minimun amount of memory for today's OS is 512mb-Buy a laptop with a dedicated video card, For example my dell D600 have a ATI 9000 with 32mb dedicated, beside some new centrino that have the Intel Extreme 2 or the i900 extreme.- Pay attention in the keyboard, the standart QWERTY keyboard is better than other hybrids keyboards.-REALLY IMPORTANT= Buy a laptop with a SXGA display or better, the older XGA have a really bad resolution compared wiht the new ones.-Finally the brand you choice is important for the support and the parts you will need in the future.For example Compare the cost and disponibility of the model battery between the brands you prefer.Good Luck!!
