Upgrade nvidia 5200 to nvidia 6200 OC, interested in a hot new intelmob for $100+- ... Ogg, Mike M, and all those still interested I just ran across your conversation thread from July 31, 2007 that is close to a problem I’m having. I upgraded to the Nvidia 5200 several months back and had good results with it for a couple months. Then it began to fail in odd ways so I upgraded it to the BFG Tech version of “Nvidia GeForce 6200 OC.” This works well except if / when my system starts to go to sleep and puts up the screen saver, it will lock up. The only way to get it back is to cycle power. Can someone give me the skinny on how to surmount? I don't even r…

Windows Me & XP Network Printers
by Guest Martin Murray- 1 reply

My wife has Windows ME on her system and I am running XP. We need a printer with ME drivers so are thinking of the Canon Pixma 160. Anyway, if we get that and I attach it to my system as a shared printer and give her permissions, etc., should she be able to use that via the network using ME? Thanks in advance, Martin Murray

Microsoft Word Viewer
by Guest Dapper Dan- 2 replies

I have a friend still with Windows Me who cannot open Microsoft Office documents. I have searched the Microsoft website for a Word Viewer but the oldest I can find appears to be Word Viewer 2003 which doesn't appear compatible with Windows Me. Before installing Office, I used to have Word Viewer 1997 but not surprisingly, it doesn't appear to be available on Microsoft website. Anybody know where I can find a reliable copy or alternatively whether Word Viewer 2003 would work with Windows Me. Thanks Dan

Maybe I'm missing something. After cleaning up my different programs for viruses and malwares, I'm wondering if I'm out of touch. I have SpywareGuard V.2.2.0.1 which dates from 2002 and when trying to update, I'm told that its up to date?? On the other hand I had SpywareBlaster V.3.5.0.1. which I could update to V.4 Since both run in the background I didnt pay too much attention to these two both from Javacoolsoftware.com Am I barking up the wrong tree?? Sorry for this stupid question. Mabe I shouldnt go away for so long... Paul -- cogito ergo sum

Re: Free version of Acronis v8

Re: Free version of Acronis v8 OJ: One thank you isn't enough for providing the info to this program, so I am giving you a special thank you with this message. After activating Acronis, I was overwhelmed by the 'beauty' of this utility, in every aspect and only wish to have had access to it sooner. The outstanding feature is the speed at which the image was created, less than 20 minutes for drive C, that's astounding to me. It is understandable to me to offer it for free, because it most likely will lead to purchasing the upgrade. With gratitude, Harry.

Saw this today on the antivirus group......but I doubt that I will go back to it. Confusing as Avast can be at times, I think I prefer their detection rate and the fact that it always updates.......not like CA. But it is worthwhile knowing it is out there.

RE: Problem with computer freezing while using IE 6

RE: Problem with computer freezing while using IE 6 In case you're interested: I had posted back in late March that I was having problems with a 7- year-old IBM Netvista constantly freezing while using Internet Explorer 6. I sent the motherboard off to http://www.badcaps.net to have the capacitors replaced at a cost of $65 for 'standard' capacitors. This has been one of the best decisions that I've ever made. The computer very rarely freezes now. Usually it's because there's a problem with a particular website or I've got too many things open. I just wanted to say that http://www.badcaps.net did really good work for what's turned out to be a very r…
