The Microsoft Windows XP Operating Systems has a help file that will tell you exactly what to do to test USB for hibernation. Find that help file, and do exactly what it says.
If you still can't fathom it out (a very simple thing to do) then ask again and I will hold your hand as you do it. It really is that simple to do.
But did you read the Microsoft reference. It could be that your laptop has developed a fault that is solvable by taking to a laptop PC repairer. It might cost you a bit because of the potential need to replace expensive parts unless the laptop is under manufacturers warranty in which case have it repaired by the manufacturer according to the manufacturers instructions.

1) Any system logs in the event file?
2) Did you install anything recently?

It is for a laptop so it can either be PCMCIA or USB and be laptop powered. It would need to come with a WindowXP driver that can emulate a serial COM port.
All the modems I've found do not do all the modes or frequencies. If they support EDGE, it seems like they don't support voice (e.g. SAMBA 75) or the other way around (e.g. SAMBA). I saw the Sierra Wireless 775 might do everything but I believe they will be discontinued. It needs to support 850/900/1800/1900 bands. It also needs to have a small jack for audio in/out. I have a T-Mobile SIM card that has both voice and data enabled.
Thanks,
Paul

Hi, my 1.0Ghz Dell Inspirion is begging for replacement (lock-ups with little other than WinXP running (if you call it running) and the fan/hard-drive started making a "really bad noise" (as my bride described it) today.
I need to get the most computer for the best money (I realize best doesn't always mean least, but if it is close to least, then that is really good on my budget -- our two 18-month old boys have discovered the joys of eating a lot already!).
I'm looking for a laptop since I do contract work and travel some; working on location. I don't care that much about watching video or listening to high-end music, I just want to run Outlook, SQL Server, VS2003/2005, Word, etc.
I've seen several different processor models that I'm not familiar with, and I'm seeing laptops with wide screen resolutions, but not sure how that really stacks up (I'm used to 1600x1200 on my primary display). I have been very satisfied with my Dell, but have had several bad expereices with Dell customer support (for computers of friends/family).
What do you suggest?

First of all, from what you say, I would not care if the laptop had a wide-screen display or not. I guess that a high width of the displays native resolution should be your first concern, though better displays tend to increase the price of their host device a LOT.
If you are planning to run servers on that machine, a dual-core processor might be a good choice. In that case, I would go for a laptop with a Core Duo or Core 2 Duo processor. You might also consider a Centrino Duo setup, but I have lost track of which kind of processor that uses. Probably Dual-Core, though.
If you want to use the laptop while travelling, you might want to consider either buying a laptop with a high-capacity primary battery or with the option of replacing the CD/DVD-Drive with a secondary battery.
Also, you might want to take a look at where the USB-ports are placed. If the only USB-Port on a subnotebook is up front, thats pretty uncomfortable on a train ride 
I hope this helps some.
Cheers,
Sebastian

spec a Dell/Alienware. Don't necessarily buy one, but spec one. Find your price-power range.
Off hand it looks like you can handle a decently high Core2 processor, with a reasonable hard-drive (7200RPM), and a reasonable graphics system.
It might be better just to ask about the parts you don't know, which I assume are things like Turion m44 vs Core vs. Core2 Duo vs. older gen Pentium-M and P4-HT desktop chips?
Core2 has a flexible processor cache that adapts to the incoming flow. Not sure how exactly it works, there are a few boring white-papers I almost read. But the point is... it works. Performance comparisons are showing with very few exception Core2 Duo chips are better than AMD X2 chips. And, of course, being the next gen processor, it was designed to beat the P-4 and P-M designs as well.
Core 2 is the fastest chip right now, not counting what may be released tomorrow (everyone is waiting -- but not holding their breath -- on the any-day-now release of the ?Core2quad? (Kentsfield) that Intel is trying to get out before the slated release of the AMD 4x4 in 1st quarter of next year.

Had AMD moved its timetable forward, I thought they weren't expecting a quadcore chip until Q2.

well.... since no chips have so far been fully released, time will tell, but AMD announced they "could" release in 1st quarter 07 *if* Intel tried to release the Quad-core 4th quarter 06. Both chips exist in limited release for benchmark and preview tests. But neither mass-produced lines have arrived. "When" is still purely speculation. If Intel drops the quad-core in-mass to the market, AMD may have enough to answer. We really do not know until it happens.

Are these samples quadcores with the current architecture, or the new one that's supposed to be at least as fast as Core2?
|

I was refering to the AMD samples, I'd already seen the [H] article on the intel version.

Don't know if anyone else has mentioned it, but a Toshiba is always reliable. I wouldn't go for Dell, HP or Compaq. Best bets are Toshiba, Asus and Samsung, if you want a reliable pc, with Samsung probably your best bet for price. Can't tell you models exactly.
P.S. Where are you based.

Hi all,
I need to choose one of the following boards to build a new system for our research application.
1) Supermicro X7DA3
2) Tyan Thunder K8WE
3) Supermicro H8DC8
The following requirements should be met-
a) The PCI/PCI-X data trasfers should be at their full speed (i.e. even if I populate all the PCI/PCI-X slots with boards, they all should run at their full speeds). There shouldn't be any delays while transfering data b/n the cards and the memory (best PCI/PCI-X data transfers).
b) the HDD r/w speeds should be very fast (atleast 121MB/s).
thanks,
-Pavan

The only thing that's going to tell you this is your own testing. All the specs you listed are dependant on the hardware your putting into those slots and the hard drive your using. You're going to have to test it to see if meets your specs. Find a supplier that will let you test the board before you buy it outright.

I have a DSL connection, then it goes to a 2WIRE router that is set to a bridge.
That connects to my LINKSYS wireless router and then my PC connects.
DSL -- 2WIRE --- LINKSYS --- PC ( the PC is connected via cable tho )
I can use Internet Explorer to surf the web just fine
but if I ping www.msn.com, I get a it times out every time.
I disbaled norton and tyhe firewall on the linksys.
I am running win2k.
I cant access the 2wire since it acts as a bridge.
Note: I can ping www.msn.com from the router, but not my pc
Can someone please help?
Thanks, Nick

I can't ping MSN from anything. It's entirely possible that MSN doesn't respond to ICMP Echo request packets. In other words, you can't ping MSN because it won't respond to the request. More and more sites are doing this to reduce their attackable surface.

Well I can ping msn from my router. I was just using it as a test.
The real problem is that I cant receive packets from the outside through my bridge

Your best source of information and support is going to be the manufacturer of your bridge.

Is NAT Filtering still turned on, on the bridge?
I'd love to help, but unfortunatley I have prior commitments monitoring the length of my grass. :Andrew Bleakley:
