Alien
How the hell are you supposed to tell what firmware version a CD-RW currently has? If it makes a difference, mine is a Lite-On LTR-12101B

Pioneer DVD-Rom

tatt
My DVD rom suddenly couldn't read any cd/cd-rom/dvd-rom. I'd been using it on Win XP for the past six months. It could detect that there is a cd inside though. The error msg i keep getting is 'Windows cannot read from disk.

Need less then 16-bit color on XP with aTNT2

Mr.Guvernment
Hello, We use a compuetr and only access it via Remote access. 16-bit color is as low as i can go with 800 x 600, however on 2k i could go down to 256, which is what we need as this runs slow now, even over a 100m network.

Suggest a video card!

Nebuchadnezzar
I've been way out of the hardware scene for awhile, because up till now I was pretty happy with what I had. The time has come for me to build my wife a new computer - she's always complaining about how I always get the newest and best hardware and she gets the left overs.

MSConfig items

rbduck
I know you can add or remove start up items by selecting or deselecting items in MSConfig. My question is. How can you remove the item completely from the MSConfig window? I have removed applications, bu they keep showing up in the MSConfig window.

Odd nat'l keyboard pro problem

ThC 129
A friend of mine just got a new Dell Inspiron 4500 laptop, and a natural keyboard pro. The odd thing is that when the board uses USB it has been known to have problems with the keys not responding for 5-10 seconds at a time.

Know this old question, but I need some fresh answers. I purchased a Dell XPS500 on E-bay and it came loaded with Whistler (sample load). The intro time ran out so I loaded Windows 2000 Pro (which I happened to have).

Hullo - I have just installed Windows XP on to a Gigabyte GA-6BXD motherboard. There are technet articles relating to choosing a non-a ACPI hal, which I chose. Perhaps it was silly of me, but I now have an MPS Multiprocessor Computer system without USB or software off.
