Re: Dungeons & Dragons online

I downloaded it over the weekend and had zero issues creating an account or getting started - got a few guys playing now. Seems like you can get
stuff accomplished in less time than Final Fantasy.

broke pin on cpu

I popped a sempron 3200 out of a motherboard to swap it with a Athlon 64 3800, and due to the shoddy thermal compound the chip pulled out of the board and several pins bent. I managed to get them all straight except for one that busted off. just for giggles I stuck the chip with the lost pin in a di...

weird keyboard issue

I've pulled a hard drive out of a crashed box (blown caps on the motherboard) and stuck it in a different tower, ran a repair install which went fine, but I'm encountering a weird issue with the keyboard. Typing makes the system speaker click, but nothing happens in windows. I am able to use the key...

Re: vpn / IP issues

okay, it looks like the router is set up by default to block ping responses - however I'm still getting the error 800 when I try to connect to the VPN. The routing table looks fine - VPN passthrough is enabled, PPTP is set to allow always and port 1723 is set up in services, and is pointing at the l...

hey guys! one of my users claimed to be unable to connect to the VPN yesterday, so I attempted to connect this morning and sure enough - no go. I got an error 800 on the connect attempt. I then tried to ping the static IP from the same computer at home and the IP address at work is timing out. I ask...

Re: anyone play piano?

yeah one of my motivations to play is to someday be able to justify buying a Nord C1, which from what I gather does a pretty accurate Hammond/Vox/Farfisa sound. I can't justify a 2 grand organ without being able to play though! I'm already sitting on like 9 guitars and a handful of amps that collect...

anyone play piano?

I've decided that I want to re-learn how to play. I took lessons back in my youth but hated it because it was forced on me (i'd rather have played guitar). Once I got old enough I got a guitar and learned to play a bit but there's a part of me that really wishes I would have stuck with keyboards. Th...

Folks, Adobe's forum has been less than helpful through this mess so I figured I'd throw it at the home crowd and see what advice I can get after a power surge, adobe CS4 on one of my computers wouldn't run.

I'm trying to add 2 750GB drives to my old file server using the onboard raid controller. The controller recognizes the drive, but hangs instead of listing the capacity. I read on another forum that 500gb drives will work with this particular board/controller, but I'm wondering if anyone has found a...

I'm getting lazy in my old age and purchased a refurb Dell 531s with a paltry 250 watt non standard power supply to use as a cheap HTPC. I plan on replacing the socket AM2 sempron with something dual core that is also a 45w CPU to keep the power usage as low as possible. I've got an 8500 GT low prof...
