    Need help with Windows 8.1 Monitor detection FAIL.

    I found nothing whatsoever that I could get to work fore a work around.  I worked on it for almost 2 days straight.  I did a backup image of the hard drive, and then formatted and installed XP.  I had it up and running and working with all the hardware within an hour.  I have the Windows 8.1...

    Need help with Windows 8.1 Monitor detection FAIL.

         I hope someone can help me get this one solved!   I am running Windows 8.1 on a small form factor PC, and am desperately trying to get it to work with an older 10.1" Touchscreen monitor.  The monitor can display 800 x 600 that I need no problem.  After jumping through tons of hoops, I was...

    PLEASE! Need some help with a domain that will not load.

    Sorry, I just have not had the time to dedicate to trouble shooting this for the past few days like I had wanted to do.  I will definately post and let people know what I find when I do get a chance to troubleshoot this further.  I hate when people post something, and leave you hanging.  I will...

    PLEASE! Need some help with a domain that will not load.

    Thanks for all the input, middle of the week till the end is busiest for me.  I wil give any and all suggestions a try this weekend.  The top of my list in a Live CD, as that could rule out any and all hardware problems at once.  Be it router, physical cat5 cables, DSL modem ect ect.

    PLEASE! Need some help with a domain that will not load.

    @ pete: Combofix did not fix this perticular problem.  I looked through the log file as well, and nothing stood out.  No red flags or andthing bad that I could see.  This machine, as I mentioned is pretty well firewalled, protected and routinely cleaned & scanned.   Glad about the telnet thing...

    PLEASE! Need some help with a domain that will not load.

    Thanks for the post.... however I am one of those people when they get a flat tire, I replace the tire and don't just go buy a whole new car ;)   Heheh.  I will try everything else on the planet first, before formatting and starting over with this machine.  I have a perfect Acronis image backup...

    PLEASE! Need some help with a domain that will not load.

    Hey Dan!  Looks like I was replying to Pete at the same time you posted. I am 99% sure it is not a parental setting, as I haven't touched the router in a year or so.  Also, I can access the site 2 out of 10 times or so.  I will double check to make sure.    As for telnet, the first time I ran it...

    PLEASE! Need some help with a domain that will not load.

    Pete, thanks for the info.  As for the Virus software, Avast, I did mention it in my first post, as it was one of the first thoughts that I had.         As for the software, I normally just use CCleaner and Malware Bytes.  The others, I downloaded, installed and tried to see if they could find...

    PLEASE! Need some help with a domain that will not load.

    Thanks for the response! Yes, I have tried other browsers on this machine all at the same time, and they all time out, again around 80% of the time.   As for pinging the server, yes I have tried that as well.  The server always responds to ping requests.   Matter of fact, I just tried something...

    PLEASE! Need some help with a domain that will not load.

    Hey guys, I have not posted on here in some time.  Normally I am the "go to guy" for all things PC, gizmo's and gadgets.  It sux when I have a problem, as there is no one above me in my local "chain of command"  LOL   I sure hope someone here has had an issue like this, has seen this and can...

    Just an FYI for those who got one of the tablets, and have Android installed. Google is running a number of their best Android App's for only .10 for the next 3 days, to celebrate 10 Billion app downloads. The HD Christmas Live Wallpaper is NICE! Can customize the stocking, photo on the...

    touchpad firesale starts the 20th

    Probably pretty easy, given it's short life. They released the HP Touchpad, standard users thought Wow! A tablet, and bought it. They then realized it does not have the apps available, and all the android / iOs stuff does not run on it. "You mean It cant do the same things as an iPad?!@...

    SH cracks me up

    LOL! Too Funny. I have seen a couple of times on Amazon, when something is on sale, that is a few dollars MORE than the "normal price". There has to be a computer algorithm (or a really NON attentive person) behind it :)

    not me... I am using it with a lot of tweaks for Overclocking, themes and such, but still fairly stock. I will 100% be putting Android on it when they release the CM7 build for it though! :)

    touchpad firesale starts the 20th

    Wow! They really are making progress! I love the ability of the animated "desktop" with the aquarium. I would think that that is taking a LOT of the CPU cycles though. I wonder if the WiFi is, under androids control, able to connect to AdHoc networks. This would allow me to use my iPhone 3Gs as...

    touchpad firesale starts the 20th

    When you get PreWare installed, one of the very first things to do, is open it on the TouchPad. In the top right, click search, and look for "Unthrottle" In the results, install the "Unthrottle Download Manager". The TouchPad, for some really stupid reason on HP's part, is throttled to 64Kbs...

    It cost $306.15 for the 16 Gb version, and $328.15 for the 32 Gb version. It is within just a few dollars of what it costs Apple to build the iPad. HP is basically taking a $200 loss on each and every one sold. Analysts are saying that HP has lost about $320 MILLION dollars on this venture...

    touchpad firesale starts the 20th

    The tutorial you linked to above is the same instructions I followed. I could not get the 1.7 Ghz patch to work, no matter what I did. However, there is a fairly easy to get it to 1.5 Ghz. Once Preware is installed open it. In "Applications" find and install "Govnah", this allows control...
