WEBCAM USB BIOS PROBLEM
by Guest Anton Jansen- 8 replies
- 357 views
Whenever the PC goes on standby or shuts down, then powers up again, the system does not recognise the webcam. I have an Intel board and chipset. I have contacted the manufacturer of the cam on two occassions and they claim that the only way to solve the problem is to change the IRQs. I have 6 USB ports on board and everything works except the cam. Someone else suggested to upgrade the BIOS. I have had the run around on the Intel site, indentified my motherboard and chipset but there is no way I can sort this out. Can anyone please assist with a positive solution to this problem.

Which .NET to download?
by Guest speedy_mike- 3 replies
- 305 views
I need to download the .NET v2.0 for the ATI Catylist software. I'm currently at version 1. I went to the URL http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/aa731542.aspx to download v.2 and was presented with too many options. Is that the URL from which I'm supposed to download v2? Wat are they talking about with the different 'version's? How do I determine which version to download? Or, should I be looking somewhere else? Thanks much. Mike

When I turn off my computer a error box pop up saying "can't read (write? I forgot) 0x020e029a. After a few seconds my computer is off without any more hiccups. It happens almost everytime recently when I shut down. And my computer would turn on as usual without any problem apparantly (only that it takes a long while, several minutes in running 100% CPU for svchost.exe before I can use the CPU power for application). What does that mean? Is my computer infected? Help......
