Does anyone know how I get to POST in the first place? I've held the TAB key, and that doesn't get me to POST. Also, I've held the DEL key, and that doesn't get me anywhere, except that the PC after rebooting gets back to my empty desktop. Plz advise soon. RS

What is POST? How do I get there? As with all keyboards, I have the following keys: Ctrl Start Alt Arrow up Caps Lock Left and right tab Alt Gr Cheers, RS

Hey Igorian, Thanks alot for that link. Do I have to hit ALT+F4 before Windows starts up to get to the BIOS? RS :)

Hey ChrisR, Thanks for the reply. How should I go about using the Windows XP disc? Do you mean reformatting the hard drive with it? Please explain further on what type command I should use and where I should use it. And will I need to reinstall drivers, too, and, if yes, where should I get...

Ok, this is my prob...I don't see my desktop anymore. I'm running Windows XP. After start up, I get the message: "THIS APPLICATION HAS FAILED TO START BECAUSE WININET.DLL WAS NOT FOUND. REINSTALLING THE APPLICATION MAY FIX THE PROBLEM." At the moment, I can access parts of my hard drive, but...

Why not buy a usb wireless adaptor. Easier to install and move to another PC if needed. PCI adaptors are ok, but most people have their PCs low down or on the floor or in cabinets, and the signal can be quite poor. ______________________________________________________________ Damn, is it...

Hey folks, Thanks alot for the replies and for taking the time to help. Sorry about the noob questions from this novice. This is a whole new world to me :-P. First off, yes, I have a ADSL Ethernet modem, so the connection between my new wireless router and the modem won't be an issue...

Folks, I have a ASUS A7N8X-E DELUXE NFORCE2 LAN DDR400, sata. The store told me some time ago that I have a wired network card which is integrated onto the ASUS motherboard. I just bought a wireless Linksys WRT54G router. I already have an ADSL modem. 1) Will my wired network card...

Just got e-mail back from Linksys. The power adaptor is 110~120V rated. Glad I know now, cos there's no way I'd bother now getting a European power adaptor for it, given their cost. Will just buy the router from closer home at inflated European prices :roll: ....oh well... RS

Folks, Come on, are there any Americans here who can CHECK!!!!! All it takes is for you is to look at the base of your router. I need to have a definitive answer ASAP!!!!!! :x RS

Surely someone here knows!! Plz help us out w/an answer asap!!! I need confirmation one way or the other. RS :?

True, so true, I hadn't put that into the equation -- thanks for bringing it up. I have to plan ahead on this matter now, so does anybody here know specifically about whether the power brick will indeed be 110v only? (Any North Americans here who can look at their power cord now to verify...

Hey Breezer, Hypothetically, if I had a foreign appliance therefore, with a 800W plate, would I rely on that number to get the appropriate transformer, or the 1.3 kW reading? I ask because those transformers are listed as "300W continuous", "500W continuous", "1000W continuous", etc...

No prob, and thanks for the e-mail back. In fact, I would buy it from the UK, but, you know, the pound is very strong against the euro at the moment -- whereas it's advantageous for me to buy at a dollar rate (hence from Amazon.com) because of the weak dollar, strong euro... Cheers and best...

Hey! I'm unable to, alas, since as I said the router's at Amazon.com. Naturally, I have no access to the base of routers manufactured in the US 'cos I live in Europe. Otherwise, I'd already have checked. RS

Hey there! Thanks for the reply....I'll look into it and then chose the correct transformer. As an aside, I've got a q. for you, on the topic of watts...how come my microwave has a printed label of 800W, whereas elsewhere in the appliance's documentation, there's a listing of 1.3kW...

Thanks for the reply! Good to know. I'll check out the price of Euopean adaptors for it therefore here. I guess therefore that "12V DC" is labelled on the base of this equipment". RS

Folks, I'm considering buying this wireless broadband router from Amazon.com, but the big issue is about voltage. Interested in this Linksys router, but the Amazon blow-up pic of it shows, naturally, a power adaptor with the standard North American two-pins. This makes me think that it's...

Hi all, Just joined, so greetings from newbie here to all :D. I live in Finland, and we have the continental Europe standard of 220 V. My questions concern AC to AC step up, step down transformers: 1) For a large Japanese fridge-freezer (110 V) to work here, I have the choice of a 150W...
