I've had a bit of a nasty thing happen to my PC recently. I don't know if it was a virus or if XP got corrupted. The last thing it did was the mouse scroll would go up and down whenever I was in a program or game that used it. I thought the batteries were going out on my wireless mouse, but...

Does anyone know?

For the moment, I have a Cradlepoint MBR 1000 and a Sprint modem to pick up their service. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875997433 I am in an RV park, and I would like to use the free WiFi that they have on my desktop computer, because it is faster than Sprint in...

I know there is something out there, but I was hoping for some suggestions on a good product. I'm looking for a DVD ripping program. It doesn't have to be perfect, surround sound, and all that. Basically, I want to copy some TV show episodes to my laptop to watch while I am traveling and also...

Excellent. I was busy trying to figure out how my laptop can link up to it via wireless, and while doing so I saw the "statistics" that you talked about. This is really going to be helpful. I'm glad I bought this router. It even has a cool GPS feature that will come in handy, since we are...

It's a Cradlepoint MBR1000. We'll be sharing 3 computer, a laptop, and our Wii on the Sprint service. Although I've found some free monitoring software out there for one computer, I haven't found anything decent when sharing across a network. I did read that some routers come with software...

I just recently subscribed to Sprint Mobile Broadband from the 3G store, and I got the 598U Sierra USB Modem for $30, a free antenna, and bought a router from them. My question is about the 5 gig limit that Sprint has on it's $60 a month service. If you exceed the limit, you get charged...

Is a wireless router such as the one in the link above necessary to hook up other computers? Can one computer have the internet hooked up with the USB modem, and then the computer be hooked up via ethernet cables to a regular Linksys router and from there to other computers? We already have...

My family and I are planning to be on the move soon, and I was looking for wireless internet options. Sprint Broadband seems like a good choice for only $60 a month. The USB device can be used on a desktop and laptop, which I like...

Funny that you put Stargate Atlantis in your post, because I just recently finished watching Season 4 on DVD. :-) I'm trying VLC, and it's working really well. No, it's not the prettiest thing, but when you play it full screen it doesn't matter. I haven't tried Media Player Classic. Do I...

I'm testing out SMplayer on my PC, and I thought it could be used to play commercial DVD's. I saw a screenshot of it playing "King Kong", but whenever I try to play a DVD it just gives me black and doesn't play it. Does anyone have experience with this player, or can they recommend a better...

That might be just what I'm looking for. I'll keep an eye on that one. Thank you. ;)

I've seen both the Asus and Auzentech cards. They have a little of each, but I haven't seen a card that has both front panel, PCIE, and perfect Vista support for the future. It seems like I'll need to be patient and wait for a couple of years or so. I can make good use of my Audigy card...

It seems like the soundcard industry is rather non-exciting at the moment. Although the X-Fi's look like nice cards, there is too much garbage with Creative right now for me to even think about ever getting one. There's Auzentech, but it's either too expensive for what I need or doesn't have...

This is my idle temperature after a warm reboot.
