There is an IP address conflict with another system ......

I've read all the articles in this section but still have not found a solution. I get this on a wireless network. Using a Linksys router with dynamic DHCP (192.168.1.1) and a Linksys range expander (192.168.1.240). The message appears on an Xp workstation but does not appear on the only other workstation connected to the network, which is a laptop running Vista. I believe the cause of the problem to be the fact that both of these workstations used to be attached to a DSL land line with a DSL modem with IP address of 192.168.1.1. That modem and equipment is gone. Now we are wireless with Exede satellite network. Here is what steps I have taken to try and ge…

Hi, When I start my computer it is s compaq, it shows there is a system 32 error, I have tried to fix the error using various pages in this site, however the final is that when I go into command prompts it shows there are 0 windows files. I bought the computer from JBHIFI, and was not given a start up disc or usb. The computer came with windows 8 already installed.

I have tried to restart it and use the startup repair however it shows that the computer cannot be fixed using this either. thanks for your help. Continue re…

My problem is trying to run League of Legends. I can open it and everything works fine, but as soon as an actual game starts, this ^^^ (title) pops up and all I can do is close the whole game. I hadn't played in a while so I have gone through quite a few windows updates and i downloaded a lot of patches on League, so i'm not sure what the problem is. I do know that i have the MSVCR110.dll file in my System32 file. I really don't want to spend hours trying to re-download this game League of Legends and would prefer to fix this problem. Everything else (all other programs) works fine. Is there any way to fix this without re-downloading the program/game? Continue reading.…

Can Windows 7 license be transferred?

Hey guys, I'm just wondering can a windows 7 license be transferred from one hard drive to another? Basically the hard drive on my laptop failed and I have to replace it. Although I think the laptop came with windows installed on it and I think I read on the forum that windows like that can't be transferred. On another note there's a windows label on the back of the laptop with a windows product key if that makes any difference. Continue reading...

Live media with Broadcom wireless support?
by Guest a1b1- 0 replies
- 319 views
If this is in the wrong place, sorry, I figured it wasn't really a true tech question more of a general knowledge one. I've been reading around trying to find a distro that includes Broadcom drivers during the live session. I don't have access to a broadcom wireless device anymore (my laptop had that but the wireless died), or unlimited Internet to just download distros to check, and I don't have time to do a lot of research. Basically, trying to assist someone with an HP Mini 210-1000, Intel Atom N450, and he says Broadcom BCM 4310. Trying to get something lighter but full featured, like say Lubuntu, Mint, etc. He does not have an ethernet cable and apparently does…

How to connect a camera to a Linux System
by Guest KansaiRobot- 0 replies

Hello everybody this is my first post in this forum. I would very much appreciate if you can share with me some of your knowledge. The situation is the following. In windows (I suppose many of us came from there) when I want to use a USB camera, I connect it to the USB port and usually it is automatically recognized. In the worst of cases I have to download and install some DLL to make it work. How does this works in the following cases: 1) In Linux. I heard the equivalent of a DLL is a so file. How does this work here? Is there automatic recognition? 2) In Linux for a non-intel architecture. Say an ARM system running linux. How can I use a USB camera on t…
