Hey guys, for a week now I've had a problem with my Asus G73JH laptop. Namely, the screen looks like this: 1. A few days before this happened, I dropped the laptop about two feet onto carpet. Immediately after the fall, it was working fine. 2. The day before this happened, I was getting...

Hey guys. I've been an MS supporter for many years, but after recently spending hours trying to index a Linux-based network share on Windows 7 clients, only to discover that MS intentionally took that ability out of Windows 7 (even though it can be done easily from XP) to force you to use a...

I'm typing this on the Toshiba Satellite laptop that has served me well since I purchased it. It's just a budget model - only cost $500 with discounts - as I don't have time for games anymore and have found a budget PC to be more than capable of handling everything I need it to do. It came with...

Is there a way to set up a fake host on a LAN with an ip address, such that when any computer on the LAN addresses that IP, it is redirected to a different location? I have some applications that are hard-coded to look for specific services on various local IP addresses. The services are...

I have two separate issues that aren't related...I think: 1. This morning, I received an email from HDTracks.com (a site I have bought HD music from in the past) thanking my for my reply, assuring me that the investigation is ongoing, and asking me to send more information about how my card...

I'm looking for free software that enables collaboration between multiples computers on the same network (i.e. desktop sharing). Something similar to NetMeeting and Meeting Space, but for Windows 7 (which doesn't include either program). I was disappointed to learn that 7 doesn't have Meeting...

Does there exist a good free AV product whose license agreement allows for nonprofit (not commercial, but not home either) use?

So, today while setting up some computers I met an embedded systems programmer (you can already tell where this is going, can't you? :p ) and he and I talked for a while as Windows 7 was installing. We got to discussing XP vs. Vista vs. 7, and he said he was still unconvinced why anyone should...

Hey guys. I'm buliding two $400 computers to be used for programming and development work. The computers should also have the ability to run modeling and animation programs such as Inventor and 3Ds Max (not extremely well, just the ability to run them). We will be overclocking these as well...

I have a laptop with an Ethernet adapter and two wireless adapters - one external a/b/g, and one internal b/g. All three are connected to the same university network. Windows, however, insists on using the built-in b/g for network traffic, even though the wired connection has better ping times...

Alright...I'm tired of hearing everyone brag about their $30/month SERO plan while I pay $100/month for my Simply Everything. Is SERO still available, and if so, how do I get it?

Someone I know is having a problem with IE8 and Vista. He used to run 40+ tabs at once with IE7. Now, in IE8, he cannot run more than 10-15 at a time. At that point, any new tabs will refuse to load (they will say "connecting" forever). Existing tabs still work and will navigate to new website...

How good is magnetic shielding these days? :confused:

I just had a crazy idea and am hoping someone here can tell me exactly why it won't work. Google's new Voice service (which ought to be available to the public anytime now, right Google? :rolleyes: ) gives you unlimited free calls within the US. You just call your Google number from any...

I'm having a problem copying many small files to a USB flash drive. Almost every day, I must copy a 500MB Eclipse workspace to and from a USB drive. The problem is, this 500MB is split into over 30,000 individual files (which I think is stupid BTW; Eclipse's designers apparently do not...

Alright, so I've been using IE8 for a few days now, and so far there is only one site I've seen that requires me to use "compatibility view": [H]ardForum. What's up with that? :confused: :p

I'm not sure what section to put this in, so I put it here. For a robotics application, I need a way to track velocity across a flat white surface. I thought an optical/laser mouse would be a great device for doing this. Unfortunately, however, the only interfaces available on the robot...

Hey guys. I've been out of the loop for a while and would like to know what is a good DDR2 mobo for $150 or less to be used with a modestly-overclocked Q9550 and 8GB of RAM. This system is not for gaming but for 3D animation rendering. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Okay, I've been assigned to build a $1,000 workstation for 3ds Max rendering and am wondering what video card I should put in it. No, we cannot afford a Quadro :( . After a Q9550 and 8GB of RAM, I have exactly $260 left in the budget for the video card. What card should I buy? I'm not sure...

Only item left is a Thermaltake 850W PSU (non-modular version). Come on, doesn't anyone want this thing? It's brand new (well, not quite..I've had it for seven months now, but never used it) and unused. I'll sell it for $60 shipped. Really, I'm tired of staring at this thing sitting under my...

I'm selling a 2x2GB set of OCZ ReaperX DDR2-1000 memory with 5-5-5-12 timings at 2.1V. Sold. I also have a lone 2GB stick with the same specs as above. This one has also never been used. I am selling it because I broke the other stick in the set while attempting to solve the four sticks...

The first item I am selling is 2 x 1GB G-Skill PC2-6400 4-4-4-12 at 2.1V F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ memory. This memory has the coveted D9GMH chips! Sold. My second item is an NVIDIA 6600GT graphics card. It has been modestly overclocked for about one year of usage and still works great. Sold. My...

I'm troubleshooting a really strange problem on a laptop running Vista and IE7. It can browse the Internet, but no active content works at all. It cannot log on to any websites; you type in your credentials and nothing happens. If you go to a weather site and type in a zip code, nothing happens...

Hello everyone. We all know we're never supposed to use "magic numbers" in our code and should instead replace them with named constants to make the code more readable and future changes much easier. The problem is, I can't think of a satisfactory way to do this in C++. The choices I've thought...

I am looking to buy: -PA160 Rad -PA160 Fan Shroud -PA120.3 Fan Shroud Thanks for looking. :) EDIT - A PA120.2 + Shroud also works. :)

What do you think the best case is for a two-loop water cooling rig using a PA120.3 in the first loop and a PA160 in the second? I'm not afraid to do some modding, and I am open to recommendations from all price ranges, though I would obviously prefer to keep the price low. Thanks.

I'm working on a C++ project and our team is split 50-50 on this issue, so I wanted to get some outside opinions. Because it involves robotics, our project naturally involves a lot of communication with various hardware interfaces. To accomplish this, we are using Hardware Abstraction Layer...

Does anyone know exactly how Vista stores the shortcuts in the All Programs menu? I like to customize that (so that I don't have the same publisher under three different names, for example), but I'm confused as to where the actual shortcuts are stored. If I right click the directories and choose...

I've been running Vista 64 + IE 7 for over a year now without issues. Now, just a few days ago, Windows Firewall seems to have forgotten all of my program exceptions. It keeps asking me to allow programs that I've used for months (i.e. Adobe Flash, IE 7, Windows Media Player...). The last...

Here's a Vista Upgrade Guide I originally wrote for Epinions. It covers everything form deciding which version to buy to installing Vista to tweaking the OS for the best experience. Most of the installation part pertains to the full version, not the upgrade version. I hope everyone finds this...

I'm looking for a 24" - or - so panel to replace my 19" CRT. I won't be using it to game much (at least not until I upgrade my 6600GT), but I want it to look good when I do upgrade that video card, as this will be my display for a long time. Is the Dell 2407WFP a good choice, or is there...

Why has no one posted discussion threads for the news items on the front page?

Sorry to ask a question in the midst of all the forum troubles, but I was just curious: do you guys actually make any measureable income from the Intelitext? I noticed it is very sparse now (thanks for that, BTW), and whenever I mouse over an Intelitext word, it links to either some obscure...

http://www.legitreviews.com/article/441/3/ I couldn't find any other topics on this. OCZ showed their 2000w external PSU at CES. Everyone was worried about the Ultra 2000w since one house circuit cannot carry that much wattage? OCZ solves the problem by giving their PSU two AC inputs! Just...

I've seen quite a few complaints that Vista does not remember your folder views. I too encountered this problem, but I think I have found a solution. First, you need to change the default view for folders: 1. Open the root (C:/) folder 2. Set the view and grouping settings you want. I...

The survey is now closed. Thanks to all respondents. I will post the results next week. Mods, you can keep this topic open, and I'll post the results in this topic. Or, you can close this topic, and I'll post the results in a new topic.

I recently finished building a computer using the following hardware: ASUS P5N32-E SLI Mobo G-Skill HZ 2x1GB DDR-800 Memory NVIDIA 7300GS GPU Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 Antec TPII 430W PSU WD Raptor At first, I got the system "stable" (meaning passed Prime 95 and Memtest) up to 450 x 7...

I just finished building a new PC with an ASUS P5N32-E SLI 680i board and the included onboard sound. I also found out it is an overclocking dud (can't go past 375MHz FSB). Unfortunately, even at stock speeds, I'm experiencing other problems. One of these other problems is that I am unable to...

Okay, I think I posted this in the wrong section yesterday. Does anyone know how to get SpeedFan to control fan speeds on the ASUS P5N32-E SLI? The BIOS includes fan speed controls, but those don't seem to work either. When I try to read the fan RPM from SpeedFan, I get a static number in the...

Is there a way to make this board work with Speedfan or another fan-controlling utillity? I read in a review somewhere that this board does in fact allow for temperature-controlled fan speeds but I cannot get it to work with Speedfan.
