anu pwede ko gawin para makuha ko yung dating data ko dun sa lumang CPU ko ..kasi bibili ako ng bagong pc eh...lahat lalagay ko pa sa usb?m

pwede ka bili external hard drive enclosure for 3.5in. drives (SATA o IDE, depende sa old hard drive mo) at ilagay mo yung old HDD mo. D mo na kailangan copy pa yung data at may external hard drive ka pa.

isa pa pwede mo rin ikabit yung luma mong hard drive sa bagong PC para may extra HD din, kaya lang kung IDE yung old HDD mo e dapat may free IDE slot yung bago mo pc.

so its possible that even w/ a wrong connection, the system boots?

yup. Its a plug and play OS.

got another problem w/ a desktop.

 

during boot, a "no 80-pin conductor cable installed" message displays on screen.

 

the odd thing is, the hd & fdd's are fine.

 

what could be the problem?

1. There is no 80 pin connected, you're probably using the old cable type.

2. Cable connectors could be connected to the wrong slots i.e. blue to blue in primary hard disk and IDE slot whilst the middle connector for 2nd. This is sometimes the problem why it takes an eternity from boot to windows gui (not the log-in screen).

mga sir, i need help. just bought a new pc. problem is....most of the new pc games available won't run. error message that comes out is either: 'cannot run program, make sure video card and drivers are compatible; the other is....something like failure directx3d8 and make sure you have directx 9.0c installed.

i dont understand, when i run directx diagnostics wala naman problem. it says nga that i have directx 9.0c installed.

 

here's yung specs ng pc: asus p5l-mx motherboard, sparkle geforce 8500GT 512mb 128bit video card, 1gb ddr2 667, my os is windows xp pro sp2 na may built-in directx 9.0c

 

i tried disabling the video card and used the built in graphics ng motherboard, same message lumalabas. so i guess na wala sa video card ang problem.

 

any other ideas? btw, my os is pirated. pero other older games walang problem.

Perhaps the correct driver of the video card is not installed or driver is forceware and not verified and signed (WHQL) - sometimes these are the culprits. Just download latest drivers that are SIGNED and not FORCEWARE from Nvidia.

I already tried using 2 different OEM XP installers and 1 key (I forgot which key is for which cd installer). Once you go to the activation process, it will say that the product key is not for the CD being installed (wrong serial number). Match COA stickers with CD serials.

sir, pls. PM. my problem is i have to retrieve d files from my hardisk of my PC Penthium 2. IT dept in our office said that they cannot anymore open the hardisk. do u know anyone u can recommend or open & retrieve the old files. tnx MTC & friends. More power to u

Sir, what is exactly wrong with your HD. Mechanical, electrical etc?

Question about rams:

I'm currently using 1GB dual channel Kingston Hyper-X DDR400 (Registered and ECC) Rams on ASUS SK8V and I am about to add another 2GB dual channel only this time i will be using Crucial rams (Registered and ECC) with the same CAS Latency as Kingston. In short i will be installing 2 identical but different brands of dual channel RAMs. The mobo manual does not mention about using different brands but says only that a pair of identical rams should be installed in the configuration shown (blue and blue, yellow and yellow).

My Hyper-X model is not manufactured anymore by the company so i have to get another brand with the same specs.

Now, has someone already done this type of configuration and worked or there can only be one brand of dual channel rams installed?

Thanks.

As well as gladiatorx suggestion, pwede mo ring galaw galawin yung montor cable mo at tignan kung nagbabago ang display mo. Karaniwang problema din kasi yung cable ng monitor.

Mga Pre, got problem on my display monitor. ang dilim eh. i aleady changed my VGA to Geforce FX5500 512MB. ganun pa din. I dnt know kung sa monitor na talaga yung prob. I need help... TIA

Before you make a move to vista, don't forget to download the vista compatible drivers of from your hardware manufacturer specially the motherboard. And most XP compatible software may not work with vista even if you have successfully installed them. I noticed if my software installer or driver is both windows xp and 2000 compatible, it may work with the installation and sometimes it will run. But for most, it does not. Kung bootleg OS baka kasi yung mga Release Candidate or Beta ang nakuha mo.

A question for vista users, do you have any problems installing from bootleg software (even legal ones for that matter)? I tried the OS once and it block 95% of the installers. I tried the compatability wizard but it proved only to be superficial.

I also encountered this problem with Acer. What i did was i placed the installation cd but did not run it. then on the device manager, I updated the driver software of the network adaptor and pointed it to search and install the driver in the CD. I'm using Win XP SP2. As for the buttons, you have to install the driver for each of the button. I remembered i have to download this one from their site.

I have a challenge for you guys, I have exhausted my resouces so I am resorting to get help from others.

 

I have an Acer Aspire 5050 laptop. My problem is the wireless adapter could not start (code 10). It's indicated on the device manager; it has drivers installed I even downloaded the latetest drivers form the wireless manufacturer themselves. But still it could not start.

 

Prior to that, I have a friend who bought the same laptop as I am on the same day and installed the wireless network drivers from his installation CD (I never used mine, since we're also installing the everything including the OS on that same day). It worked fine the drivers detected the card. Then, a few weeks after I had to reformat my computer and used the driver installation CD that came with my laptop. That is when the problem started, I was trying to test the wifi on my laptop but the indicator for the wireless adapter near the switch doesn't turn on and there it indicates that it could not start. I tried installing other drivers but still it was futile. The problem still reccurs and I need my laptop for connecting to a WIFI network.

 

My wireless card is Atheros AR5006X.

OS-WinXP SP2

 

Anyone please help me. :goatee:

freezing the HDD is no mystery specially if the problem is the read/write head of the HD has collapsed or is squeezing the platter thereby inhibiting its spinning. At low temps, it causes the platters to expand thereby pushing the read/write head to open. When you place it back in room temp, the platter contracts and the heads will be loose allowing the platter to spin.

Some cases this will not work specially if you have both mechanical and electronic failure or firmware as well as logical corruption.

@PCG, i see that your site has a new and better look. But based on your website - products - motherboard - socket AM2 940 motherboard, why do you add the "940" after AM2 since AM2 is not a socket 940. Although AM2 or M2 has a 940 pin it is not compatible with a Socket 940 motherboard.

No need to update BIOS, just install or update your usb controllers using motherboard's driver disc. Your device manager should have "enhanced USB root hub" in universal serial bus controllers category. Another thing, assuming you are using Windows XP, your motherboard should using it's own provided drivers and not using win xp provided drivers.

If you still want to update your bios, no problem, just use MSI live update which is included in driver disc. It will the do the updating automatically, just follow the procedures and read the warnings. In the BIOS flashing procedure, the instability of the PSU Power Supply Unit, power failure or other operating errors might result in the process failure which makes the system fail to re-boot. In other words, you just erased or cooked your chipset.

You will need to have and internet connection for this utility to download the latest drivers. Before you update your bios, take note of the settings cause after update, all settings will be in "default" thereby affecting system performance.

Some USB 2.0 devices also has incompatibility issues with USB 2.0 ports.

Guys tanong lang regarding with my motherboard which is MSI K8N Neo4 F Socket 939... According to the manufacturer's specifications, it supports both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0. But, tuwing nagpplug in ako ng HI-SPEED device, lagi padin siyang nagpprompt na "This device will work faster on a USB2.0 port" something like that. And when I view the available ports for my PC, it says na there are no HI-SPEED USB ports sa computer ko. Paano ko maayos to?

 

One friend told me na iupdate ko daw BIOS. Any other steps? Kapag nagkamale ka ng update ng BIOS mo diba pwede naman ireset yung CMOS Battery tama ba?

How could one reformat and reinstall an OS on a hard drive if the optical drive of the computer is not working? Do I have to take out the HD?

Unless you have the software and knowledge to create a bootable flash disk using the boot image of microsoft, specify the number of loaded sector, supports iso 9660+joliet file system, and your motherboard has the instruction to boot using flash disks, then why not?

Easier way is buy/replace the cd-rom which is very cheap and easy to install.

gud day sirs. i have just recently installed XPservice pack2 on my computer, it automatically checked for updates, i tried installing all updates that they recommended. after doing this, i have noticed an error with my MY COMPUTER Explorer. this shows everytime i tried accessing the local drives.

 

is this a virus? pls help. AVG Free Edition 7.5.446 cant detect any virus. :cry:

Its a malacious program. anyway here's how I dealt with it.

Before anything else, create a restore point.

1. Update AVG

2. Go to Control Panel - Folder Options - View tab and check "show hidden files and folders"; uncheck "hide file extensions of known file types and hide protected operating system".

3. Click ok.

4. Reboot to safe mode by pressing F8 during bios loading.

5. Log on to administrator account or any account that has administrator rights.

6. Select yes when a prompt about using system restore appears.

7. Run Virus scan

8. Explore each drive and look for a .ini file just located at the primary directory

9. Open the .ini file with notepad and you will see a string like xxxxxxx xxxxxxx F:xxxxx.vbs. ( I forgot the actual string).

10. Delete this file and do the same for your other drives.

11. Reboot normally.

--- if avg does not sterilized it try kaspersky. This was what I used to neutralize it.

mga sir/ experts... i have a laptop ibm t30 pwede ba to ma wifi able? may pwede ba bilhin para maging wifi to? para sa starbucks,or sa malls pwede gamitin para pwede magamit ? thanks in advance

Kung wala pa yang built-in wifi, you can buy a usb wifi adapter like D-Link DWL-G122 around 2K ito or kung may PCMCIA slot pa yan meron din adapter para dito like Linksys WPC54GS which is around 3K naman. Basta my kasamang CD driver ang mga bilhin mo para walang problema.

Tip, someone told me that sa lahat daw ng Robinson's mall eh may libre wifi internet access daw. :cool:

I downloaded the codec pack but i still can't open the file. any other suggestions?

 

Smoking Aces.DTS.NTSC.DVDR-XPDVD.avi this is the file I want to open. what program do I have to download to open the said file?

if you have tried everything, then maybe that file was damaged or broken in the first place.

Haha dami tanong

Whats the best audio compression & bitrate for encoding DivX/Xvid Videos?

 

Before I used MPEG 2 Layer 3 56 kB/s 24000 Hz

Now Im using Lame MP3 48000 Hz 192kbps Stereo CBR

 

Now what does Hz mean? And doest it matter?

Would it be better if I use Lame all the time?

I want something that is standard, will play on most if nto all

standalones and has relatively good quality.

Need your opinions. Of course average filesize too.

 

Thanks

48000Hz is the sample rate of a wav file and this is equivalent to 192Kbps in MP3s or what is named as "DVD-Quality" if used with a 16bit bit depth or "Studio-Quality" if used with a 24bit bit depth. Lame MP3 is good and I think now is the universal music compression format. Ogg vorbis is better than MP3 and such smaller sizes too but not supported by standard players.

Have another Q:

Have you guys tried renaming the AVESQ.DAT files from a VCD to

Ex. "File.Mpg" ? I hav eben doing this always and it works.

Is it really ok to do this? I guess it converts the DAT file to standard MPEG.

Or do I need to use a converter?

it does not change the "dat" file to MPEG. You just changed the extension filename. The reason it plays is because your OS has the ability to recognize and play VCDs by default as well as launch the necessary application. You can also try to rename avi to mpeg or mpeg to avi.

If you'll just play your movies using PCs, no need to use converter although I sometimes experience not being able to play these videos using another PC (hmmm)...

help!!! accidentally delete my autorun vbs(tinamaan kasi ng Kvirus-whatever that is)...cant open my hard disk files(drive c) anymore..ayaw na gumana yun autorun function...what should i do? appreciate advice or suggestion as to how to go about it...thnxs..

I would recommend that you re-install your operating system but do not choose to reformat the "C:" drive once asked during installation. This is what you call "dirty installation" and will not delete your files - it will just overwrite the OS files as long as you will not choose anything that will cause it to delete the harddisk content during installation. When the installation completes, back-up all your data immediately. Then re-install your OS again and choose to reformat the "C:" drive. Time consuming but it's worth it.

patulong naman po...di ko na maback-up yung pst archive ko. may message na data error - cyclic redundancy check.

 

ano pwede gawin para pwede ko na maback-up ulit.

 

salamat.

Copy your PST archive to another folder such as inside your My Docs. You can use the outlook function for this or you can search you PST file and copy it manually via windows explorer.

Or you can create/add another PST file through outlook data management and use the "copy to" or "move to" folder function of outlook.

mga sir anu ba ginagamit para makapanuod ng ay .rmvb file para mapanuod ko yung dinownload ko thanks ...

Download mo itong K-lite mega codec pack which includes quicktime alternative (shown as movie player classic) and almost all types of codec. Mga 30MB nga lang ito. otherwise you can just download quicktime alternative (freeware). Use quicktime alternative (movie player classic) to play the rmvb file.

A windows movie maker question:

 

How do I mute an audio clip inserted on the Windows Movie maker? Because when I lower or minimize the volume of the movie clip, all movies got affected. Danke.

WMM does not include an audio editor. Adobe premiere can do this for you.

Here's an interesting problem:

 

At the office we are the IT support. There was this one case where the user's screen "rotated" 90 degrees. Yup, ROTATED and stayed that way. just imagine laying your monitor on it's side or tilting your head horizontally to see the images on the monitor. This is not a monitor setting. The user accidentally made a few keybaord combinations and then poof, that happened.

 

Screen resolution, desktop icons, all other display settings appear normal. The images in the screen were proportional to the rotation of the screen.

 

How did that happen? I've tried searching the internet but I am having trouble describing it in the search box.

 

I tried restarting the system but it booted to the rotated screen always.

 

We resolved it by doing a system restore during boot up, so it means this is a windows setting and not a hardware thing. The OS is WinXP SP2.

 

Any input would be appreciated.

Graphic card settings management apps sometimes have the option to rotate the screen if the monitor (LCDs only, I think) and the graphics card supports it. Most of the NVIDIA graphics cards I used has this option.
