Well, it's been so long since I posted that problem with the mouse that I almost didn't remember how I fixed it. I uninstalled the Logitech Mouseware and reinstalled it from disk. I had migrated from...

I have a mystery. My Logitech cordless trackball, which I used on my previous OEM 'puter without any problems, looses its button assignment memory on restart every time. I've reloaded the Logitech...
Well, it has been about two weeks and I have to report that I agree that the blue lights are rather cool looking -- and I'm not much on stuff like that usually. It does let me know that I left the...
Hats off to Rob for the web site that gave me the courage to do my first build!!!!! I'm still reading! Thanks friend!
I've been putting it off for three years while my aging Compaq got so old that...
OOPS. I had the outboard LAN disabled in the BIOS. Works now and I am on the internet and updating Windows. Yeah!!!!
I'm getting rather good at answering my own questions. I had the Outboard LAN disabled in the BIOS.
My first build is up and running Windows! Yeah!!!! Now onto the problem:
I don't need a modem inside the case to connect to a DSL modem through a wireless router (via Ethernet cable plugged into...
I hope this isn't too dumb. I didn't get a modem for my first build because I didn't think I needed one for my wired DSL connection. Yet when I plug the Ethernet cable in that was taken out of my old...
Well, that was what I should have done in the first place: put the error msg in the Google search window and look it up. Sorry. All I had to do was change the boot order. I'd assumed that with the...
MB is a MSI K9N SLI Platnum. WD 3200GB Caviar SE16 SATA II.
1st boot, no hardware, went fine. Installed all hardware. 2nd boot went fine. Went through BIOS and set up some things. 3rd boot fine....
Update:
1st boot went well, except that I got no beep. Everything else seems to work fine: got into CMOS menus fine, etc. I guess that means I got one of the plugs backwards??
Red and white...
Wel..... First boot (and subsequent ones) have worked rather well. The computer seems to see everything I've put in! I'm on to drivers, etc.
In answer to my own question: the MSI K9N SLI Platinum...
Well, all this discussion has become a moot point since this MB (MSI K9N SLI Platinum) (has one MB IDE connection socket, and obviously that will be used by the DVD-RW and DVD-ROM. There ain't no...
HA ! that's a good analogy. This is "the big poop day" for me. I'm just going to try the USB keyboard for 1st boot (while my friend's computer repair shop is still open) and see what happens. I'll...
10-4 on the "they are compatible." Thank you.
Does anyone know if I might experience a problem once the IDE drive is unplugged because IDE is turned on in the BIOS? I was guessing it would be OK...
1). I was reading all over the place last night on the web (can't even remember where the answer came from now). It seems the CPU fan MUST be plugged into FAN1 since that is the connection which the...
You say, "USB keyboards and mice are fully supported during the Windows install." I'm only at the first boot -- no hard drive, no operating system. I'm guessing you mean, "They work for installing...
The keyboard I got for my first build and my Logitech trackball I plan to reuse are both USB. I see in Rob's instructions that he says to plug in the keyboard via PS2. I tried to use a PS2-USB...
I have an second WD IDE hard drive in my present OEM computer plugged in and used only for backups. Then I unplug it since it is only used once a month or so just so it doesn't spin up for nothing. ...
I'm a newbie. I know. Don't groan.
I have an Antec Sonata II case, MSI K9N SLI board and an AMD A64 X2 5200.
1) The CPU cooler fan that comes with this processor has a 3 hole connector. The...
