This might be in the wrong place and I'm sorry. I just don't know about this stuff. I'm a beginner when it comes to the computer and I've been learning so much the last four days and three forums trying to fix this problem.

I can't burn a copy or disc any faster than 0.87X and I'm using Roxio 10. I was told the problem is because of the PIO I can't get to change to DMA on the Primary IDE channel?

Here's a picture:

I have a peculiar problem. Suddenly the @ key is transposed with the " key. Is there anything I can do about it?

My optical drives went south a few months ago,so I bought a IDE(Raid) 2 port PCI host card intending to use it instead of my secondary IDE channel. I have a Fatal1ty KN8-SLI mobo with 3 gb of ram, 2 sata hdd (200gb &300gb) an 80gb C drive primary IDE master and a 40gb drive as the slave on the same channel. I saw something in another part of this forum about the bending pin syndrome on the ide plugs and I think that might be what happened. At any rate, after installing the controller card, I still have no access to any of my optical drives. Any suggestions?

Check your monitor and its settings with this excellent monitor test.

Hi, I updated the BIOS using the @BIOS utility of my Gigabyte motherboard.

It detected a file for update and i updated it and was confirmed since i had previously downloaded the same file from Gigabyte site. So, it said that the flash was successful and i restarted my computer. No display, the keyboard is not detected, the floppy drive is not recognised, nothing. I used to get a beep sound after a successful post, but am not getting now.

What shall i do??? The BIOS flash has gone wrong. Please Help..

I'm currently using a variety of Microsoft mice. I like the Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 3000, but there are many other good ones on the market. Even the cheapest optical mouse is probably better than any mechanical one, but it is a good idea to look for one that can scroll sideways, also called 4-way scrolling.

Hints and Workarounds—general information

Also applies to the 6230i, 6820 and similar Nokia phones.

The Nokia 6230 and 6230i smartphones are quite popular devices with many capabilities, but, as usual these days, also with many big and little flaws, shortcomings, and defects. This page tries to help you with these and also needs your feedback. Please add a comment or reply below if you have additional information.

Common IRQ and Port Assignments

Below is a generic description of the three resources and what common devices use them.

=====================================================================
SYSTEM RESOURCES
=====================================================================

(1) IRQ - Interrupt Request Channel

Use the chart below to determine which interrupt is best for your adapter. If you cannot find any available interrupt, you then need to remove or disable something from the system.

Interrupt Other Devices That This IRQ May Not Be Available

Some Windows XP users (particularly some with ASUS laptops) experience the following warnings, sometimes very many of them, in the system event log:

Type: Warning
Source: ACPIEC
Category: None
Event ID: 3

Description: \Device\ACPIEC: The embedded controller (EC) hardware returned data when none was requested. This may indicate that the BIOS is incorectly trying to access the EC without syncronizing with the OS. The data is being ignored.
