    “on official website that it’s only supported by overclocking “(F6(by Overclocking)”. What’s that supposed to mean?”

    F6 is the BIOS version. To be able to run the E8500, you will need to have version F6 (or better) before installing the CPU.

    “By overclocking” means that the BIOS will NOT auto detect the proper FSB speed of 1333MHz (333MHz frequency). So to get your CPU to run at 3.16GHz (9.5 x 333MHz), you will have to manually set the CPU frequency to 333MHz, otherwise it will default to 266MHz (aka 1066MHz FSB) & your CPU will only run at 2.53GHz (9.5 x 266MHz).

    And make sure to run your RAM at 333MHz frequency (DDR667) to match the CPU frequency. That means if you have DDR2-800, you should underclock it.

  3. i presume that you mean filenames in Windows Explorer. As far as I know, the only way to achieve this is to compress the file (blue name) or encrypt it (green). Avoid encryption unless you really need it as it's all too easy to make your file inaccessible.

    DerbyDad03: [C]an just the hint be changed or is the user forced to also change the password?
    There’s no supported way to do this short of changing the password. Probably because it’s touching the part of the registry where the passwords are stored.

    DerbyDad03: [C]an the user reset the password back to current one . . . or is the current one locked forever?
    The option’s called “password history,” and it’s up to your workstation administrators to set the number of previous passwords Windows will remember. Valid range is 0 to 24.

    If you received the file from someone, or downloaded it off the web, then it’s quite possible the font is embedded in the original pdf file. When you convert it to Word if the font isn’t nstalled in your Office/Word then Word will substitute who knows what…

    As above in my first response, you need to locate the font (usually on the web), download it and install into your fonts in Office.

    2) Now press back-space key just enough times to make the blank page disappear.

    3) Now re-save the document.

    4) When you re-open it there should be no blank page.

    Always works for me

    Incidentally – there is no Word 7 that I’m aware of. I assume you mean Word 2007?

    There are other programs but I doubt they will do what you want. The files are likely marked “unrecoverable” because they have been overwritten. Nothing can recover an overwritten file.

    Norton Ghost, or any such program, can clone a corrupt hard drive. But it will be an exact copy of the original, including all corrupted files.

    This is yet another example of why you need a backup of all important files.Hard drives fail and data can be lost for a wide variety of other causes as well. In many such cases the files will not be recoverable. It is not a matter of if problems occur, but when.

    “expresscards are not the answer. they require power from a usb port. “

    They DO NOT require power from a USB port, but they DO require that your laptop has an ExpressCard slot, which it may or may not have. The ExpressCard USB controller adapter gets it’s power from contacts in the ExpressCard slot.

    If it’s an older laptop that has a PC Card slot, not an ExpressCard slot, you can buy PC Card (PCMCIA ) USB 2.0 controller adapters that you can plug into that slot.

    In either case, in most if not all cases, the USB controller adapter can only supply a total of 500 ma of current for all the USB ports in it – it can’t supply 500 ma per port. In that case, an external hard drive or an external optical drive, which require that the USB port can supply 500 ma, may ONLY work when it’s the ONLY thing plugged into the ports in the adapter.
    ….

    Make sure that there are no contacts inside the supposedly damaged USB ports that are touching each other or that are touching the outer metal shell of the USB port.

    If you live in a reasonably large place, local places that can repair laptops can probably fix physically damaged USB ports without you having to send the laptop away somewhere. If they don’t already have the same USB ports in stock, they can order them.

    By the way, there can be things wrong with a laptop that cause all the built in USB ports to not work, other than they’re physically damaged.
    E.g. I’ve seen that problem when the laptop has been dropped.

  10.

    If the present CRT monitors have….

    “- a MDA or HGA mono display – (black and white, or amber, or green)”
    or
    “- a CGA display – 4 colors including white, or mono, 3 shades of grey and white”
    or
    “- an EGA display – 16 colors including white, or mono, 15 shades of grey and white”

    … then you cannot connect the physical 9 “pin” d-sub probably female video port directly to a monitor that has a 15 pin d-sub connector, and get a display, no matter how many pins it has on the physical 9 “pin” d-sub port, even if you use a 9 pin (probably male) d-sub to 15 pin (female) d-sub gender adapter.

    As I said above…

    “….if it’s possible to change the display adapter’s card, you need to change it to one that supports VGA video that has one or more 15 “pin” female port(s), that has the right type of contact arrangement on the bottom of the card – likely ISA, or a lot less likely, PCI “

    If it’s not possible to change the display adapter’s card, as in, a physical card that can be removed, then you cannot connect an LCD monitor to the 9 “pin” d-sub port any way I know of. You can only use a CRT monitor that is a type that is compatible with the type of video adapter.

    LCD monitors that are MDA, HGA, CGA, or EGA compatible have never existed as far as I know.

    MDA, HGA, CGA, and EGA display adapters all have a digital output.

    VGA display adapter ports all have an analog output.

    Newer video adapters on a removable card that have a DVI port are all wired up to support the DVI-I standard – they support both DVI (digital) output and VGA (analog)output – if the card does not have a 15 “pin” d-sub female port, or if it does but you want to connect two VGA monitors, a standard DVI-I to VGA gender adapter plugged into the DVI port outputs VGA video. The digital output is not compatible with the MDA, HGA, CGA, or EGA monitors.
