    Vista won't resume from sleep

    Hi guys, here's a problem I've been having lately. I have Vista x64, and it won't resume from sleep (most of the power settings are at the bottom). When I move the mouse or press a key, the fans spin back up, but my case display and monitor don't turn on. So I have to do a hard reset by...

    Trouble editing UT2004 .ini's

    Awesome, that worked, found it. Dunno why I didn't think of that myself, haha. Anyway, thanks again.

    Trouble editing UT2004 .ini's

    Hi everyone. So I decided to play UT2004 on my Vista PC. There's one problem though: When I edit the ut2004.ini to get the game to play at 1920x1080 (or 1280x720, I don't care either way really), it ignores my changes, and goes with whatever the last setting was. I've changed it under both...

    What are the oldest games you still play often?

    PC: Deus Ex (still amazing after what, 8-9 years?) Thief (struggling to get it working in Vista...) Consoles: Mega Man X series (SNES, never played the PSX ones) Super Mario World Yoshi's Island (probably my favorite platformer ever) Super Mario RPG I need to go back and replay FFVII...

    Dolby Digital Live frustration

    For music I use Winamp, and for videos I use Media Player Classic - Homecinema edition with the ffdshow plugins, both of which are outputting the audio through the optical output of my soundcard (Winamp is getting upsampled to 24 bit, 96kHz; not sure what's happening to the Dolby/DTS signals in...

    Dolby Digital Live frustration

    Hi everyone. I have an Auzentech X-fi Forte sound card (uses Creative's x-fi chipset), and I'm using Dolby Digital Live to encode games' 5.1 surround sound so it can be sent over SPDIF. However, any time I want to play a game, I have to enable Dolby Digital Live in my sound card's software...

    MX5500 mouse problem

    Hi everyone. I'm having trouble with my mouse (the MX Revolution bluetooth version that came with my MX5500 keybd/mouse combo set). Basically, I can't press the left button while holding down the right one; it doesn't register as a click. For example, in Mass Effect, the right mouse button...

    Jagged edges on HDTV

    Alright, so after some research I've got the following: Media Player Classic (regular and Home Cinema 64-bit; still need to work out some issues with HC before I remove the regular version) ffdshow (64 bit, same issue as with the MPC versions) Haali Media Splitter (which doesn't like to...

    Jagged edges on HDTV

    What more would you like as far as hardware goes? I figured that was all the relevant equipment. Only other thing I can think of that may be of interest is my DVD drive, which is a standard Samsung IDE DVD burner, IIRC it has a 32 or 36x read speed; nothing special there. Motherboard is an...

    Jagged edges on HDTV

    I looked up some terminology so I can sound like I know what I'm talking about, haha. Looks like tearing is what I'm seeing. The edges of objects will be broken apart into couple-inch pieces when the camera pans across the object. Updated my first post so people understand my problem.

    Jagged edges on HDTV

    Hi everyone. I'm using my HDTV (Samsung LN46A650) as the monitor for my HTPC (Intel E8400, Vista 64-bit, Radeon 4850, 4GB of RAM...you get the picture; a relatively new, capable PC). The TV is connected with a DVI to HDMI cable. So here's the problem I'm having: when I play DVDs (I usually...

    Anyone care to critique my new PC?

    Actually, M-Audio released final 32-bit drivers back in April, and they claim 64-bit drivers should be out by Sept. 1 (they're currently doing private beta testing on them). Here's the m-audio forum post where a general manager of M-Audio (Niels Larsen) states that...

    Anyone care to critique my new PC?

    Thanks. Looks like it's a huge upgrade for both of us. Yeah, Vista was $100, and the Logitech wireless keyboard/mouse set I got was $80 IIRC. Got 4 nice case fans (including the one for the CPU heatsink) at $12-13 each, the heatsink was $50 (I overpaid a bit there, but I had a hard time...

    Anyone care to critique my new PC?

    I thought the 500GB was 2 250GB platters? Edit: Double-checked, and the 500GB 7200.11 does use two 250GB platters. Honestly, I think I'd be happy with either of the drives. They seem to be pretty evenly matched, after taking into account the Seagate in the data I posted was a 1TB model...

    Anyone care to critique my new PC?

    Yeah, I'm not too worried about the sound card honestly. I do remember hearing about the lack of Vista drivers for the card, but I'll just be using the digital output when I get a receiver anyway, so I could even use the onboard sound for that and be alright I imagine. Interesting to hear...
