  1. Hi all,

     

    I'm planning to get a new digicam para sa sister ko this week and ask ko lang kung meron sa inyong nakakaalam ng price (in peso) ng Canon PowerShot SX100 IS and Canon PowerShot A720 IS?

     

    Thanks in advance! :thumbsupsmiley:

  2. whoa!!, that's a kick-ass PC, where can I buy that kind of monitor CyberRay ?

     

    Thanks dude...

    Actually that monitor is part of my uncle’s setup. I just borrowed it for the meantime while waiting for the other lcd to arrive. Lol… We got it directly at apple for $2,850 each after rebate. :)

     

    This is the setup where the monitor originally belongs to:

    Yes, I’m not permanently removing the video card from the list of suspected hardware that is causing the problem. Also there are lots of problems that we might also consider like the number one reason of BSODs, Driver problems.

     

    And I’m just referring to the part where he said “Based on my own analysis, the video card/MOBO might be causing the XP installation problems” and not the earlier BSOD problem tho…

     

    So right now since we are just on “Software Troubleshooting” well, let’s just temporarily remove the vid card from the list to further avoid creating confusion to the end user and go for a step by step approach on this matter shall we?

     

    And besides only new and mid/high-end video cards suffer over-heating problems and that is one valid reason for me to temporarily remove the vid-card from the list coz the card on his system right now is a nVidia 32MB GeForce2 card unless he have upgraded it to a high end vid card which will give us another troubleshooting question which is the compatibility of the hardware and/or driver of the video card with his current operating system Windows98 which is known to have major compatibility problems with hardwares.

     

    Just my 2 cents.

    Although we don’t give support for Win9X systems anymore, I can give you some helpful troubleshooting tips on what might be the problem installing Windows XP on your system.

     

    By the way, you might want to post your system specs so I can provide you with more accurate details.

     

    System Manufacturer:

    Processor:

    Amount of RAM:

    MOBO (Motherboard):

     

    Ok then… first, I would remind you that your system must meet the System Requirements for Microsoft Windows XP.

     

    Here's What You Need to Use Windows XP:

     

    -PC with 300 megahertz or higher processor clock speed recommended; 233 MHz minimum required (single or dual processor system);* Intel Pentium/Celeron family, or AMD K6/Athlon/Duron family, or compatible processor recommended (1.8 GHz recommended)

    -128 megabytes (MB) of RAM or higher recommended (64 MB minimum supported; may limit performance and some features) 256MB recommended

    -1.5 gigabytes (GB) of available hard disk space

    -Super VGA (800 x 600) or higher-resolution video adapter and monitor

    -CD-ROM or DVD drive

    -Keyboard and Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device

     

    Second, only use CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive when installing Windows XP from the CD. There are lots of reported XP installation problems on CD-R/DVD-R drives.

     

    Third, since you will be upgrading from WIN9X, Your Hard disk is still on FAT/FAT32 format. Windows XP is using a much secure and reliable file format system known as New Technology File System (NTFS). So I advise you to wipe out your whole hard disk clean and convert it to a “RAW” hard disk and let Windows XP reformat it to NTFS during the initial installation of the operating system.

     

    You can this free tool to wipe your hard drive and give it a fresh start.

    http://www.killdisk.com/downloadfree.htm

     

    By the way, the video card has nothing to do with your problem right now, if the video card is the problem you won’t be getting any picture on your monitor in the first place. However, regarding with a long beep that you’ve heard on your pc, that might be a sign of problem with the system. Depending on the MOBO manufacturer, each Long/Short beep and/or how many times it beeps represents an error code on the system. So it is necessary for me to know your MOBO manufacturer.

     

    I’m not saying that there is a problem on your MOBO as of now coz I’m not there physically in front of your system to test it. Just follow the instructions above then if everything still fails then we will move on to hardware troubleshooting.

     

    And one more thing, kindly provide a lil bit more specific details on what kind of problems you are encountering during the installation of Windows XP. (Like an error code/message or a screenshot will make things much easier for both of us)

     

    If you encounter another problem or have another question just feel free to post it right here. Good luck mate.

  8. Hello folks.  I hope someone can help me with my problem.

     

    I recently installed Norton 2005, but I can't get virus definition updates.  Should I subscribe online ($25) or is there a way to fix this?  The system status says the renewal date is December 8, 2005.  It says the account is current.  But I still can't get updates.  There are instructions from Symantec on what to do, but nothing has worked thus far.

     

    No. you do not need to pay for the liveupdate subscription since they will expire next year.

    Can you please tell me what the error code is when you run live update?

     

    And also kindly PM me the last 8 digits of you NAV product key so I can double check on your NAV’s subscription. Thanks.

  9. i suggest that you uninstall the sp2. di kasi ganun kadali ang maginstall ng sp2 eh... may mga sepcifications pa yan... even the processor should be look at too. trust me i know this.. tech support ako eh.. bwehehehehehe

     

    LOL… That is the funniest thing I’ve ever read… A Tech Support asking someone to Uninstall SP2 because of pc slow downs… Geez… Ok, let me first clear some things out for you…

     

    di kasi ganun kadali ang maginstall ng sp2 eh

     

    Actually it is very easy, if you have a LEGIT copy of Windows XP in the first place. And know how to do it the right way.

     

    may mga sepcifications pa yan... even the processor should be look at too

     

    Yes there are system requirements for SP2. But take note that it is JUST THE SAME AS THE SYSTEM REQ. OF WINDOWS XP. If your system can run WinXP SP1 smoothly, SP2 can run smoothly as well.

     

    SP2 System Requirements:

    Original & Licensed copy of Windows XP

    233-Mhz Processor

    64Mb of RAM

    1.6 GB of available hard-disk space during installation

     

      trust me i know this.. tech support ako eh.. bwehehehehehe

     

    No offence but I suggest you need to have a lil more training…

     

    “Palaging nakaka-experience ng system crash at ang ibang apps at games ko ay biglang bumagal”

     

    Some applications and drivers that are incompatible with SP2 can be the cause of your system crashes. You might want to update them as well.

    Click HERE for the list of applications that are known to experience a loss of functionality when they run on XP SP2 PC.

     

    Spywares/Adwares can also be a big problem for SP2’s stability. I suggest you to check this out first.

    What to Know Before You Download and Install Windows XP Service Pack 2

     

    And regarding with your games and apps running slow is just because of when you install SP2, your hard drive becomes heavily fragmented. I suggest you to defrag your HD first and you’ll get your regular pc speed back.

     

    IMHO, get yourself a licensed copy of XP so that you can qualify for a direct support from Microsoft… There is “something” inside SP2 that will one day make you regret that you installed SP2 on a pirated/unlicensed copy of WinXP. Take it from me… Just my 2 cents… :hypocritesmiley:
