Thanks Paul, that is the exact information I was hoping to find! I'll check it out.

I would love to do that, but the company Mad Dog Multimedia no longer exists in any fashion that I can find. Not sure why they're gone but it probably has to do with the horrible customer service and shoddy products.

Does anyone know if there are any currently existing companies that use the same cable hardware as the Mad Dog SurePower 550? Or if there is any place that has some of these cables available? In case you're wondering the power supply uses detachable cables so you can customize what power leads...

Does anyone else notice that it's a really obvious plot to get us to buy the horse armor add-on? I mean I could understand getting armor if you could fight from the horse, but you can't. So instead of having a legitamate reason to need armor, Bethesda designed the AI to attack your horse at...

Ahh, well that's a start. I'll try that and see how it works. Maybe it'll have some affect. I'm sure it'll not matter for splash screens though. Thanks for the info mikeblas!

Does anyone know how to get new windows to open bottom level, or make it selectable? One of the most annoying things that I find in Windows is that not only does it take forever for a window/app to load up, but since I am inevitably off doing some other task while I wait for the app to load...

While this may seem unorthodox to many of you, actually changing your browsing and internet usage habits are the most effective method of keeping spyware off your system. Once you're infected, of course you need some software to help you remove those mal-wares, but you should not stop there...

Here's a link to a chart that shows just how much better copper is over aluminum: http://us.st11.yimg.com/store1.yimg.com/I/bellacopper_1871_161200

Copper is much better than aluminum for heat-sinking.

Ahh... This is all very informative. Thanks guys! Does anyone know the model/brand of the cards that do the on-the-fly DD encoding? (I hope it's not Creative Labs, cuz if so you can be almost guaranteed that it's a lie; some form of trickery and marketing acrobatics.)

I agree with Y2K SE. You can access the tables from VB.NET. All you have to do is make sure your references are set up, and you can even use the Access-specific objects. I think it would be easier overall to just use the built in Access VBA since it is tailored to understand most of the...

I have an Audigy. What I want is to have something encode the output from the digital optical out so that my DD receiver can decode it and put the sound into the correct channels. I know that movies and some games will do this, but I was hoping that there was some 3rd party app or other...

Anyone know of any sound card/app out there that will allow you to use the Optical/coax digital out to a decoding receiver, and have the receiver decode the data properly into the channels? I mean this for everything, not just games that are supposedly "Dolby Digital" compatible. If there's...

Ok, how many posts did you not read? How much of the OP did you read? THEY DO PAY YOUR FARE IF YOU WIN. :rolleyes: It doesn't matter how much they offer because they know nobody will step forward. They probably know that the people complaining all have their own legal issues to worry...

Well it looks like BFG finally can breath a sigh of relief. After 7 cards you finally go away, and they look good for trying to do the right thing even if they didn't get the chance to "fix" it. You sold the card to someone, from whom we will surely never hear from, and the magical 8th card...
