    color separations

    does anyone know how to do color separations in QuarkXPress? I'm supposed to print out some color separations for a school project, but the check box for color separations is grayed out; could this be because I don't have a Post Script Printer?

    Compaq Presario 2100 AC power adaptor

    First off, I don't even know if i'm posting this is the right place but, here goes. A friend of mine just gave me her Compaq Presario 2100, I got everything except for the AC power adaptor. It apparently got fried during a power surge, anyway. . . I went online to try and find one. But, I...

    Acrylic Case

    thats not what I meant. . The case was supposed to be red.. They said Red on the website, and it's really Orange. plus, what do you mean cold cathodes aren't made in red? They're all over the place.

    Acrylic Case

    yeah go with a window... it's easier and if you do the window mod yourself it's a hell of a lot more rewarding. Plus, an aluminum case lends itself to a whole lot more future mods than an acrylic case. If you DO go with the acrylic... DO NOT BUY IF FROM XOXIDE.... I order my case from them...

    Acrylic Case

    I wouldn't get an acrylic case. I built one last X-mas, what a fu*king nightmare! That "fog" you are refering to is a thin layer of dust that builds up on the sides of the case; if you get an acrylic case. . . by an ass load of dust-off. also, the acrylic might look cool once it's put together...

    CPU overheating

    if your using the stock heat-sink I don't think you can use and after market CPU fan. If i'm not mistaken the heatsink and the CPU fan are all one unit.

    CPU overheating

    ha ha, no. How are your fans configured? What is the room temperature? Are you sure the CPU fan is spinning correctly? Have you checked your fan speeds in the BIOS? I've got a hard time believing that the CPU is hitting a temp that high. Is it crashing or freezing up on you? You are about...

    Finally decided

    The short answer: yes you can use the same copy w/ the same serial number. Microsoft doesn't seem to notice that two or more people have the same serial numbers. The legal answer: No, most versions of XP pro are a (single user license)--only to be used once. There are versions sold that have...

    CPU overheating

    I've got the same chip, they tend to run on the hot side. But, 75C is too hot. Is that you idle temp? How are you monitoring the temp? Through the BIOS or temp mod? Also, are you using the stock heat sink with that godforsaken "Thermal Interface Material"<-- as Intel likes to call it. How...

    First Build.....

    I found that same chip for $269 http://www.smksuperstore.com/catalog/viewitem.asp?ID=7360 and the card for $203 http://www.smksuperstore.com/catalog/viewitem.asp?ID=7360 check out pricewatch.com. Newegg has okay prices but not the cheapest.

    Thermal Paste or Thermal Tape

    you will definately have to take the remander of the heat pad off to apply thermal paste... but my problem is the CPU and the heatsink are glued together and everything is so tight between the MB Heatsink, I can do nothing but just pull, and I stop when the MB starts to flex. *eeeeekkkk* I...

    Thermal Paste or Thermal Tape

    don't use termal pads or "tape", i made the mistake of using the pad that came with my heatsink...and now it is literally glued to the CPU.

    Never had this before...

    It's probably a IRQ conflict... I found something that might point you in the right direction http://www.pctechnicians.ca/help/w2ktips.html#4 http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/w2kmsgs/6077.asp

    Windows Media Player error

    i've downloaded similar fixes dos-patches and what have you from the internet. Most I what i've found is relevant to windows 2000. I ended up downloading WMP 9... that seems to have done the trick.
