LPT1 printer and cd burner

HwoodCats

I have a external cd burner and the only way to use it is if it's plugged into where the printer goes then plugging the printer into the back of the cd burner. I have tried unplugging the cd burner and plugging the printer in so I can use the printer but the computer wont even load windows when I do that.

Bios

HwoodCats

I went to and tested my computer for xp (after I installed it hehe) and it says that my computer is sorta ready. It says that the bios date is not correct or something. Does that mean I need a new motherboard? I don't know how to upgrade a bios.

Why xp doesn't like my Athlon?

wildcockis

I can't install WinXP. Installation always stops to screen setup is inspecting your hardware configuration and jams. I've also tried to update my current WinMillenium, but the result is still same. I got same problem with every NT based OS such win2k, I cant install 'em either.

Palos

Hi there, I have 512MB Samsung PC2100 DDR RAM (CAS2. 5) and after W2K startup I end up with around 438 MB free. That's all nice and dandy, but last night I noticed that after installing some dodgy ASPI drivers and Fireburner 2.

Is 1x512MB RAM "better" than 2x256MB

Ron_Jeremy

I am building my first AMD system & will be choosing a board outfitted with VIA's (I'm already in a panic) KT266a chipset. I was wondering if there's an advantage/disadvantage to using more or fewer RAM slots.

Fix for 21.xx Detonators for VIA/AMD users?

Greggy

A possible solution for VIA/AMD users having problems with the 21. xx series drivers. . . Until last night my PC did not like the 21. xx Detonator drivers from nvidia. They seemed great for OpenGL, giving a nice little performance boost over the 12.
