Video card fan needing lubrication?

Phalanx-Imawano

I don't know if anyone here can help on this, but my GeForce4 Ti4200 has a problem with its cooling fan. Apparently if the GPU is cold, the fan is sort of jammed, and won't spin on a cold start, which of course leads to the chip's overheating and 3D accelerated games and apps crash.

I like it! Alot... how about you?

Down8

Being a big Corvette fan, seeing the engine go into something that's less expensive (i. e. somethign I could afford before I'm a 60yr old CEO) is pretty cool. Seeing RWD V8s in general is nice, after a Fast & Furious fueled society of slow FWD 4cyl.

Problems with Modem sending faxes

Phalanx-Imawano

I have a Creative Labs Modem Blaster PCI, and recently I can't send any faxes out (used to be able to before). What happens is when the fax is about to be sent, the modem dials out, then the destination fax machine answers and the fax tones could be heard, but apparently my modem and the fax machine aren't talking ...

Hello: can someone tell me if the software NERO 4. 0. 9. 1 is compatible with Windows XP. When I attempt to burn a CD I get a message that states Drive with source CD. If your CD-ROM drive does not appear in the drive list below then your CD-ROM drive is not directly supported by Nero and must be autodetected first ...

C# Programmers

Atreyu

Anybody on here good with C#? I'm working on a project here at home and I'm a bit stuck. It would be cool to have somebody to bounce ideas off of. Any takers? Basically what I'm trying to do right now is use one method for all database transactions.

I consider myself a fairly advanced user, been using Windows since the 3. 1 days. I'd like to learn a little programming. I can write a basic batch file and simple stuff like that but I'd like to go a little further.

Can someone recommend good webmail service out there? I want something with a fairly decent mailbox size limit (around 50 MB or more) and I am not above paying for a service. I am considering fastmail.

New main page compatibility results.

mrk22

Recently, I noticed that the new compatibility results on the main page no longer list whether the program was reported as working or not. The only way to tell is to open the details for each item. I used to give this section a quick glance, but no longer can.

Enough with the pop-ups already...

What happened? It was only a couple of stupid pop-up ads before (anybody remember the IT training and stoplight/racecar bit?) but now it is virtually every page.

The 'another' thing :)

Hipshot

Hmm, if I make a texture myself, what is that called then? I mean, if I shoot a picture with my digiacam, and make a texture from it, then it can be called a photorealistic texture, but what should the one I make with a brush in photoshop be called? Artificial?
