    Gamepad goes beserk

    I've been waiting for ages to get a break in my schedule so I could head down and grab a new gamepad. So I got a "pro wave wireless controller" from EB for $40. Nice feeling thing...but when I connect it it takes control of my PC. The mouse moves around, it opens things and the few times I've...

    those with home web servers...

    I use mine for filesharing mostly, I keep the installers for every program I've ever downloaded on there for easy access from anywhere. It used to run a site pulling tens of thousands unique visitors a day, so it is considerably overpowered for what I use it for.

    Running WLM through a proxy

    Hey, Basically I want to play around with proxies and the changing of IP addresses. Basically what I want to do is run the Internet and Windows Live Messenger through a proxy so the IP is different then my true one. Now I saw a connections tab in IE (6, on clean install of XP) that seemed...

    Driver for a gamepad. On Vista. Good luck with this.

    I just found it laying around the house and its no big deal if it doesn't work, so I won't bother since the hardware ids are just "USB/UNKNOWN" Thanks anyway

    Driver for a gamepad. On Vista. Good luck with this.

    Right, I plug in my game controller and nothing happens except an "Unrecognised USB device" Its modelled after a PS1 controller, with extra "Turbo", "Auto" and "Clear" buttons. It is manufactured by Dilong and I'm fairly sure it is the Dilong Pu102. However, I highly doubt its HID compatible...

    Yes, there is now a "Recovery Disc Creator" on the desktop, so I should probably use that :p Thanks heatless as well ;)

    Recovering Toshiba L300 with partition.

    I know I've been to Toshiba's site, found the drivers and none worked, I put that in my first post. Anyway, installed Paragon on the laptop, made the recovery partition active and run the restoration wizard. Now its back to Toshiba norm, complete with those Google Craplets. Thanks for your...

    Recovering Toshiba L300 with partition.

    Something is quite fishy, though I probably got the model number wrong. I tried a "driver detective" which seemed t find drivers, but would not let me install them without paying $30 :p So I'll try this 'active' thing later tonight, cheers. :D

    Recovering Toshiba L300 with partition.

    Ok, I'm in a bit of a dilhemma. I have a friend's laptop here, a Toshiba Satellite L300-ST2501 which needs to be reformatted. The laptop does not have the default Toshiba Vista operating system on (its been improperly formatted before), but it still has the 10GB recovery partition on it...

    TV tuner with A/V port (for Wii)

    Not at all, in fact thats really good advice. *Makes sure current monitor doesn't have one. But how would it work, would you run the Wii through special software, or would the monitor have channels? And as I'd have a dual monitor set up, would it be possible to have the Wii running on...

    TV tuner with A/V port (for Wii)

    $60 dollars. o.O. With a Wii cable. They seem to ship internationally, so good - but will it let me watch TV? Though I suppose at that price I could spring for a cheap USB tuner, and still keep it under $200. Thanks, Josh EDIT: I searched for other VGA boxes but none were avaliable...

    TV tuner with A/V port (for Wii)

    Hi, I recently scored a lot of money from a web development job, and am upgrading my PC (new hard drive, 2 more monitors) and I want to also set it up so I can watch TV/Play my Wii on my computer. I don't care if it is Internal or External (though internal is preferred) - I'd just like a...
