good forum for computer tech help....?
Hello
I need help finding a good forum to solve computer problems. Or anyone in Vancouver who can give me a good rate to take a look. My desktop is getting worse. Now upon startup it goes through the normal processes and then i end up getting a completely black screen with just the cursor that i can move around with the mouse. (doing this now on the laptop) Perhaps i fried something when i tried to install my d-link wireless pci adapter. The problems all started from that day including losing the ability to system restore. Thanks rJ |

The forums at www.sharkyextreme.com can be very good, but you may have to post more than once, as the forums get a lot of traffic and your post can get pushed a couple pages back in the space of a morning.

Re: good forum for computer tech help....?
Is that wireless pci card for wireless "G"? I had a similar problem with my dad's computer trying to install wireless "G". The specs on the box for the netgear pci card stated that the system requirements were a pentium3 class computer; my dad's computer is an atlon and I wasn't sure if it was a pentium3 compatible. I tried the card anyways and had similar problems to what you're describing. I removed the card and went back to wireless "B".
In any case, try removing the card. HeartsKing |

Once i figure out how to get through startup enough to get to the desktop i will return the card and try B or something compatible to athlon. Thanks rJ |

You realy should go somewhere other than here for PC help. The links that Jac. put together are very good.
Good Luck |
