Yes. I simply talked to a rep with the online chat system, explained I had purchased the router recently via ebay, and that it didn't work. They asked for the serial #. They had me first check the...

Thanks for all the replies. Surprisingly it wasn't the power supply. While packaging up the router to return to Linksys for a replacement, I heard something moving around inside, like a piece of the...

Hey all,

Long time no post/lurk....

A month or so ago I bought a Linksys Wireless-N Router with storage link. It was working great with my media center extender, until this morning I noticed my...

Knoppix and other linux live CDS are great, but you can also use a windows live CD with BartPE - http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/

You can find plenty of plugins for BartPE, including antivirus and...

I use Adobe C3 products with Vista Home Premium and have not encountered any problems. It sounds like a problem with the install. Did you actually leave it alone for a minute or two to see if the...

Vista uses 800 megs of ram at start-up for me. No additional services running except a vista media center extender. There is quite a bit of bloat, but in defense of MS, it's rather easy to remove...

By default it has a lot of services running (ie.- Sidebar, Desktop Window Manager Session Manager, ReadyBoost, etc). I recommend slipstreaming it with vlite - http://www.vlite.net/about.html - if HD...

There are differences between an account that has admin privilages, and an account that is admin. The admin account is disabled by default. You can access and enable it via the User Accounts Control...

This may not be the easiest method as it takes two steps, BUT:

1.) Install a freeware .avi to .mpeg converter. There are a ton of these. For example, try here:...

I replaced my ram without any problem. When I added a new hard drive I had to call and reactivate. There was absolutely no problem reactivating.

I think Vista has some sort of base score where it...

You should be able to convert a PDF with security features to a DOC, and then edit that DOC file. I've done this in Adobe Acrobat Pro, but must warn you that it doesn't always convert the file...

When you did the hard reset, does the wireless shut off (the blue lights in the blue dot turn off)? If nothing happens, then I think you're SOL. If they did shutoff, did you try the install disc to...

I took your suggestions and tried to replicate the behavior with another laptop. No timeouts at all. However, I only tested for a limited period of time, and as I said before, it's not always an...

A while back I posted inquiring about why my Netgear Rangemax router would be timing out. Basically, if I'm visiting certain sites like Myspace, or am uploading or downloading files, my router...

Thank you for the responses. Rubbing alcohol seems to do wonders. I removed the keyboard and left it drying upside after a thorough bath in it. I suppose flipping the pc over with a book on it should...

This is a good one. I was holding my little boy while walking past my laptop, and POW! He projectile vomited some milk all over my laptop, thoroughly soaking my keyboard. I quickly powered it off,...

I was logged in as administrator so I could run the virus scans properly. I decided to reformat and start over when I realized java was corrupted, and windows installer was not working either. I...

Hi all,

This one has me baffled. Before I do a reinstall I thought I'd get some opinions/advice.

Recently my windows sidebar gadgets stopped working. The sidebar is running, but none of the...

Why not use the built-in burning software? With Windows Media Player you can burn audio cds, and video/data cd/dvds. With Windows Movie Maker you can burn movies from your video files. It may not be...

So technically a hard drive or memory upgrade shouldn't cause me any problems, and if they do, MS support should be able to help me out. I think I'm going to try it.

BTW, I'm using the academic...

Hi everyone,

I recently upgraded my laptop to Vista Home Premium and am rather pleased so far. The issue now is hard drive space and performance, as I was foolish enough to do the Vista upgrade on...

Thanks for the comments. I have a bad habit of breaking what already works well for some reason ;)

Unless I went through the upgrade installation too quickly I did not see the option to reformat...

I just upgraded my laptop with Vista Home Premium and it works great. I chose to do a clean install as I already had backups of all my files. To my surprise the clean install option did not opt to...

Hi all,

Thanks for all the suggestions. Here's my update:

There were no firmware updates available. When connecting directly to my cable modem no problems persist leading me to believe the...

Thanks for the input. I will update the firmware when I get home. If that doesn't work I will try it without the router. I do have a sinking suspicion that some sites are overloading my router as...
