Re: 3G Modem connection problems

Yeah thats very true... Happens sometimes when my phone refuses to connect to any online service, while another phone in the house (same network) works perfectly. Try that sim in another phone? to rule out the phone as a cause maybe. Yeah, I've put the sim in my main phone, which connects perfectly...

Re: 3G Modem connection problems

Yes, it was the same sim card. I usually just dial *99#, but in this case *99***1# also didn't work. I can't set the APN on the phone, or even view it, but I'm not sure where to set it up on the PC...

A master reset also didn't help, it didn't even delete any of the existing connection profiles.

3G Modem connection problems

Hi, I've run into a bit of a problem, similar to the post here . I usually use my spare phone (Motorola V3x) as a 3G modem to connect to the internet. For the last couple of months I've had no trouble, but about a week ago everything went wrong. Weird as it may sound, something got corrupted overnig...

Well, he didn't reinstall Windows, but he did try a repair which did not work. I will try to do a reinstall without formatting and see if it works. Thanks.

Re: Windows giving First time boot issue

Yes Windows 7 was working fine. It started happening suddenly, he didn't reinstall windows or anything.

He gets the message every time he boots, and afterwards it boots into Windows and he can use his laptop as usual, but when he restarts he gets that message again.

Windows giving First time boot issue

Hi guys, One of my friends is having some issues with his laptop, so he asked if I would be able to help. But I have no idea what could have caused it and since I can't have a look at it myself I have no idea how to fix it either. Googling it also didn't raise any solutions, so here goes; Whenever h...

Re: Linux Startup Issues

I installed openSUSE in VBox, but it wasn't all that stable. But I'm sure the reason for that is because I used an older version of VBox. I'll get the newer one some time and try that again. I also installed openSUSE 11.1 today - and it installed and booted without any problems :D The only problem I...

Re: Linux Startup Issues

OK I used the acpi=off command to boot, and at least now the screen doesn't go blank. But instead of crashing, it now just hangs. It still loads that tiny piece of the loading bar, then just stops completely. I'll try to get a slightly older version of openSUSE, and see if the problem persists. And ...

Linux Startup Issues

Hi. Recently it became necessary for me to use Linux, so I got myself a copy of openSUSE 11.2 and Ubuntu 9.10. Now I need to install it on a second partition on my new laptop, but this is where my troubles start. Whenever I choose the Install option after I booted off the dvd, setup loads for a shor...

Re: Crossfire help

No, AFAIK you need 2 cards from the same series, like HD4000series. You also need a board with an Intel or AMD chipset.

Re: Windows 7 RC goes live. Your feedback!

So far I've had only two issues. I tried copying a folder with a large amount of files in it (28 000), and the GUI froze. I had to wait until it was finished before windows responded again. And when copying a file and moving folders also made windows unstable.

Re: Fallout 3 opinions

Maybe now that there are 3 DLC's, bethesda will hopefully consider selling it in DVD version? It is way more expensive to buy and download it than just buying it in-store. Do you know how big Broken steel will be to DL?
