    A solution to the age-old "surround sound from S/PDIF or coax" problem

    Do you have a surround sound speaker system hooked up to your PC via a digital S/PDIF? Tired of having to fiddle around with control panel windows before running a game just to get surround sound working? I have a solution! A bit of background: I've been using a PC with a home theater sound...

    "It's arcade-perfect!" ah, the good ol' days. Now, the kids are saying "it almost runs Crysis!"

    Favorite GPU you have owned?

    PS2 > PS3 For real. This generation of consoles has been terribly disappointing. Instead expanding on what makes consoles unique, developers have spent the last 5 years playing catch-up with the PC. The only exception is the Wii and not by a great margin when you consider the ratio of...

    Favorite GPU you have owned?

    My favourite card is a tie between the 6800GT and the 8800gtx When I purchased the 6800GT it was after I sold my craptastic ati 9600xt. I was disillusioned with PC gaming and was about to call it quits with the mouse and keyboard altogether, but decide to give it another chance after I found...

    Any good party-type games on the PC?

    Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing - but you will need to do a bit of googling to get more than one gamepad working on that title. There's always emulation. You can get those old nintendo 64 party games or better yet, wii games. Just buy the original games! Support game developers, not piracy :)

    amBX is cheap as chips and looks great with Eyefinity!

    some people just can't get enough bloom in their games! Ours is a strange hobby indeed. Some pay hundreds of dollars setting up dampening panels in their living rooms to leave it as dark as possible while others pay to fill the place up with strobe lights. Would be nice if someone posted...

    Catalyst: MMACEPrev.exe error

    SHIT! That fixed it! note to other struggling ati users: you must search for C4.CCCCom everywhere in the registry. If you get an access denied error, then: right click the fubared folder select permissions. you should get another error, don't worry click advanced in the permissions window...

    Catalyst: MMACEPrev.exe error

    interesting, found this: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\C4.CCCCom was corrupt. Fixed it by adding user permissions but don't see a change. Maybe I should logout/restart...

    Catalyst: MMACEPrev.exe error

    I noticed that this registry folder: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ATI\ACE\Settings is empty. Should it be?

    Catalyst: MMACEPrev.exe error

    no viruses (unless ati releases infected files??), and no reg cleaner was used. For obvious reasons. As noted reinstalling was useless. mip mapping? That issue is not related to texture mip mapping, it's everywhere in the system right from booting up: a shot of the asus ROG bios POST...

    hmmm, found that: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\Properties was corrupt i.e had no user permissions. I set myself as the owner and gave full control to my account over the registry key, now I can see what's in the properties key. but...
