Add-ons - October 2006

First my computer gets one beep, and then mouse freezes, about 5-10 secconds, it is working again. Sometimes both keyboard and mouse freeze together. I have to restart the computer, and then everything will work again, but the same story happens again. I resinstalled the mouse driver from the disc, but in vain. What is wrong? How can I fix it? Please help, and thank you!!

I have a Hypersonic CX7 Duo, with a SIIG eSATA II express card (SAE 512). The card registers when it is plugged in, but I cannot get the drive to register at all. It doesn't do anything - blink, beep... I am running a 320 GB Seagate drive in a Rosewill SATA II encasing. The USB connection works fine, but I got it to be a SATA speed drive. Any suggestions? The driver is updated. I am at a loss.

My configuration:

MS Windows XP Professional
100GB 7200rpm Serial-ATA Hard Drive with NCQ & 8MB Cache -
2048MB Mushkin PC530
Intel® 945PM chipset + ICH7M Mobile Motherboard
2.00GHz Intel® Core Duo Processor T2500
Nvidia Quadro FX 2500M PCI-Express 512MB GDDR3

Anything special I need to change to make this work? Maybe something in the bios?

How do I connect a bluetooth headset to my computer?
The headset is a vodaphone(service provider) bluetooth headset(of the over the ear variety) made for mobile phones(cell phones) by Plantronics. My computer has a bluetooth dongle in its USB drive, it has some very bad supplied software. I want to know how I can make the headset work as speakers and microphone for my computer. I have windows XP, but can I use it to controll the headset and USB dongle instead of the supplied software.
When I used the supplied software the headset just made a kind of assending tune. No techno-babble please

I just bought a TV Tuner device that connects via USB 2.0 and so far this has been a terrible purchase. When installing the drivers for the TV tuner box my laptop would go to a blue screen with something about memory dumps and then would reboot itself. I finally got the darn drivers loaded and now the software (WinDVR 3) locks my computer up tighter than a ViseGrip. My machine is a couple of years old but more than meets the manufacturers requirement. I run an AMD Athlon 1.8 GHz/ 512 MB... Any suggestions on another TV tuner application that I can use besides the WinDVR?

CDs still work fine, but my computer doesn't read DVDs and then freezes whenever I just try to play a movie. I've tried different disks, I've cleaned the lens and drive, and nothing seems to work.

Also, once my computer freezes, I can't even turn it off. Everything becomes frozen, and I have to pull the plug out of the wall just to be able to reboot.

This problem seems to have come out of the blue - everything was working fine recently. I changed a Firewire card to a USB 2.0 card, and just bought a new 20" widescreen monitor. I don't believe either of these should have an effect on the DVD drive, but what do I know. I haven't used the DVD drive in a few weeks so I can't say for sure that it stopped working before or after either of these changes.

I have a Dell Dimension 8200, using Windows XP Pro.

Whenever I plug in my digital camera or ipod to any of my usb ports, my computer freezes. Everything else works (the mouse, keyboard, printer) so I'm not sure what's wrong with the usb ports. I have tried both items on my laptop and they work perfectly. If it helps, my computer is an HP Media Center PC m1160n. Thank you!

3 days ago pulled out my 2 sticks of pc2700 each 512, and installed 2 sticks of PNY 1g pc3200. Wow, a huge difference in games and working in my p2p/share. (but it wasn't REALLY that big ...)
But a RAM increase this much seems like it would generate more heat, could I find an internal fan to clip onto the case for them?
and what kind of power source would it have?

The ram is ok, it's the correct type for my MB and they are fitted carefully. XP boots up fine, but I get all sorts of errors when running things, and sometimes it just reboots!

I have an ABIT AS8-V with 2x 512k 400hz DDR (pc3200) ram - errors when I added 2 more of the same type of ram.

I accidentally bought 256MB PC100 of server memory on ebay. I just wanted 256mb PC100 of regular memory. Will this work the same or is it completely different? I have no idea what server memory is.
