  2. Windows 10 Windows 10 limted internet and Virtual Box

    Hi, I installed Windows 10 on two computers - the first, a Lenovo Thinkpad Helix, upgrade worked fine. However, the second machine, a Lenovo thinkcentre, upgraded OK, but no internet access, just the dreaded yellow warning on the Ethernet icon. Tried troubleshooting, deleting the interface...
  3. Windows XP What Is The Purpose Of A Service Partition?

    My IBM ThinkCentre M52 has a small (3.46GB FAT32) partition labeled IBM_service (EISA Configuration) placed after the C: partition. Exactly what function(s) does it serve? The drive that it is on is quite small (80GBs), so I'm considering replacing it with a larger drive, but I'm wondering if...
  4. Windows XP Intel Pentium 4 HT 3.00 Maximum Temperature

  7. Windows XP ADI SoundMAX

    I finally got my ThinkCentre up and running, now I trying to get all of the onboard devices running as well. For the most part, that seems fairly straight forward, but I'm a bit confused about the sound driver. Lenovo shows 4 options...2 universal drivers, which specify either SP1 or SP2, which...
  8. Windows 7 Test PSU

    I ran a test on the PSU on my Lenovo Think Centre M52 8215 which won't power up any longer. It seems that while the ATX plug tests good, none of the others do. I would just assume that means that the PSU is bad, but what throws me is that I would have thought that at least the case fans would...
