I have my power settings turn off my CRT monitor after 20 minutes of activity. I also turn it completely off at night, not only to save power, but I've heard that even with no signal a CRT still wears down. I'll have to check back on that though. Anyway, if you're using a screensaver, remember to use one with a lot of activity, since both CRTs and lcd's can suffer from burn-in.

I've used Fresh Diagnose and PC Pitstop.

My username is just something I made up. It's a varient of my Yahoo! user name. My avatar is one I made on Yahoo!

Some people do have where they live on their profiles. See pic. There probably is a way to put it under your avatar.

Nice speeds. Welcome to the forums, notmybest2day.

The Verizon News center also posts FIOS press releases.

You can't change the drive letter on your bootable drive, the one your OS is installed on. MS KB Article. You'd have to reinstall XP if you want it to have a different drive letter.

Ok, here's the thing. I have my own domain name, and am looking for an e-mail provider that I can use with it. Currently I'm using Yahoo! with 5 address', but I want something that I can use (a few ) more addresses with, and more importantly, something that is not connected to my Y! account. I want to use POP, but just for that domain, not for my Y! address. Does anyone know of any good providers?

I'm guessing he's talking about shortwave. Shortwave on Wikipedia. I don't know much about it, but I do know you can recieve signals from all around the world with a Shortwave radio.

Arizona, I do think stays on whatever, but not Indiana anymore. Indiana Moves to Daylight-Saving Time Yahoo! News. I heard of a story from Indiana that a guy and his son will come to your house and change all of your digital clocks for $10. I believe it's mostly aimed at the elderly. Interesting non the less. "Clock inspector!"

It looks like the forums didn't change the time automatically either, again. You can change it through the "Look and Layout Preferences" section in your profile.

Yea, I got mine at Newegg.com. I bought the blue one though. http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16811144176

Yea, I love the case. I know it's not the best wiring job. It is my first home built computer after all. I'm probably going to buy some of those velcro ties and fix it up a bit when I have a chance.

Ok here's the thing. I recently built a new computer and am having a problem playing back DVD's. The DVD's will only play back in Power DVD. Windows Media player and Interactual player give a copy protection error. They say I don't have a compatible/correct codec. The dvd's work fine in Power DVD. I have a Lite-on SOHC-5236V with Power DVD 5 (bundle version) and the Nero OEM suite. Did I install something wrong? Thanks in advance.

Ok now. : I wonder how long until someone tries to take down that site.

I have two cards. I got the second one so I could build up credit up with it and get rid of the other one sometime in the future. The longer you keep a card, the more history creditors can see. Anyway, my newest card the Paypal seems very good so far. It has no annual fee, something to look for. Also in addition to seeing my account online, I can see a quick view of my credit rating including my credit score. Peter

It doesn't work like a floppy drive cable. Either drive can be master or secondary, whether it's connected to the end of the cable or the middle.

That's all you'd want? That's hardly any good. A 10GB HDD is hardly enough space for anything, and a 660Mhz cpu (0.66Ghz)isn't much either.

Now that is interesting. Must be hard to clean if you need to upgrade it sometime in the future though.

Are you using a router? Cause your first hop shouldn't time out. If so, try a tracert and speed test without the router connected. Also, read the links in my sigs.

I'd love to have those buttons on my keyboard. They sound very useful.
