When I mount a movie (.iso or video_ts source) in Daemon Tools and try to play it in another app, such as WMP or VLC, those apps also crash to desktop. Daemon Tools stays running in the sidebar. However when I use any non-Daemon Tools dependent programs to play DVDs, such as XBMC, the DVDs...

It's for my Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H which doesn't have a PCI-E x1 slot. Sorry for leaving that out.

What capture card and software would you recommend to convert old VHS tapes to MPEG2? I currently have an Nvidia DualTV, but I can upgrade to an Hauppauge card if necessary. What would you recommend?

I'm still waiting on the Athlon X2 4850e to come out :( Does anyone know when AMD is releasing it?

Thanks w1retap. I'll be upgrading the motherboard in my NSK2400 - looks like the Scythe Mini fanless will work great.

I've been waiting for this CPU as well. I read late March/early April. Still waiting :(

Pretty please?

Can anyone please help me?

Installed the new battery today. Unfortunately there is no difference. I've tried everything I can think of. Is there something wrong with my motherboard? Should I RMA it?

I'm looking to build a [H]TPC that: - is very quiet - can record two clear QAM HD channels simultaneously - handle HD playback at the same time Here's my build (items without links I already own): - GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2H AMD 780G - $100 - AMD Athlon X2 BE-2350 Brisbane 2.1GHz 45w - $90 -...

I'm using XP. Just wondering if I could get away with the onboard sound or if I should stick with the Audigy 2 ZS.

I have an Audigy 2 ZS which I'm currently using for sound (used for SPDIF passthrough and built-in decoding). Should I switch to my Asus P5WDH Deluxe onboard sound? This way I could get rid of the Audigy 2 and clean up my case at the same time. I output sound to my Logitech Z-5500. I use...

Good idea - I hadn't thought of the battery as the cause of this problem. Since I don't have a multimeter I just bought a new cr2032 battery online. I'll post back with results.

I reinstalled XP this weekend. Same problem - turning off the computer results in "No IDE hard drives detected" during POST. Any ideas?

When I turn off my computer and turn it back on it won't get past POST. It says "No IDE hard drives detected." I flash my CMOS, edit the BIOS, and it loads XP like normal. To test, I turn it back off and on again. Same problem - it won't get past POST without reflashing CMOS. I tested this...

Does anyone know?

When I delete something on my Blackjack and sync it reappears. How can I configure ActiveSync to keep deleted items deleted?

I'm currently using an Nvidia Dual TV card to record analog cable from Comcast. Will this still work after the digital conversion is February 2009? Or will this card become obsolete?

Anyone?

I used to be able to hit my "medium" overclock easy (P5W DH Deluxe specs in sig): 333 FSB DDR2 666 vDimm 2.1v vCore 1.375v vFSB auto vMCH auto vICH auto After reinstalling XP now my computer won't post with these settings. However this "low" setting is working: 300 FSB DDR2 600 vDimm 2.1v...

Bingo. Thank you. Took out both pins and now I can use my DVD drives :)

I could not get a single HDD to work with the jumper set to BIG mode. I also could not get the DVD drives to work on BIG mode. In the BIOS I set DH Features > EZ RAID to enabled, but it would simply reset itself upon boot. This most likely occurred because I didn't create a RAID array (just...

I have the above problem when I mouse over icons in my taskbar. I'd like to see what the info is (the yellow popup box), but they remain primarily hidden underneath the taskbar. Does anyone know a way to push these up vertically so I can read them?

Thanks for the reply. I completely forgot that the orange ports are EZ RAID (had to RTFM). That said, is there any way to use the EZRAID ports with the DVD drives? Or will I be limited to the only remaining black JMichron SATA port? Or could I switch two of my three hard drives to EZ RAID...

I just installed two SATA DVD drives and XP doesn't detect them. I connected the SATA cables to the orange JMichron connections. The other red SATA ports are occupied by my three hard drives. During post I get this message: Fourth Master Hard Disk Error My relevant BIOS settings are...

I found the same item for $132 here. Is it worth it? Is there anything comparable that's a little more affordable? I can't find the coax terminator online. Any recommendations on where to pick that up?

I need advice on how to wire my Comcast cable with only one outlet to work with. I need to connect: 1. Analog capture card (40 foot cable run) 2. Cable modem 3. Digital (QAM) capture card 4. Digital (QAM) capture card 5. HDTV I can't find any 5-way splitters anywhere. So should I connect the...

Thanks fellas. Will I be able to use cat 6 utp cables or will I need to use the crossovers? This Linksys switch is $15 after rebate. Should I get it or do I need a Gigabit 10/100/1000 switch?

My cable modem and router are downstairs. I have a cat 6 utp ethernet cable running upstairs to my computer. I just bought an Xbox 360 and need to get it online as well. Should I buy a hub or switch to "split" the upstairs ethernet cable to my PC and 360? I have cat utp 6 ethernet cables and...

My new slim Apple Keyboard just arrived. I'm running 10.4.10. When I plugged in the keyboard the software update downloaded Keyboard Software Update 1.2. During installation there was an error. I rebooted and ran software update again but it said "Your software is up to date." I...

I can't install Vista 32-bit Home Premium OEM on my P5B Deluxe. I'm using all new hardware. Not going for RAID. Flashed to BIOS 1101 before install. Formatted the drive during setup, Vista extracts and configures then reboots. Then the system hangs at a black screen then says: Windows failed...

Is there a way to extract the RAID drivers from the Intel Matrix Storage Manager's F6FLPY32 program? I'm trying to install Vista Home Premium 32-bit on dual Raptors in RAID 1. I don't have a floppy disk drive. Since Vista lets you load drivers from a flash drive, why does Intel's software still...

Anybody?

I'm looking for a Core 2 Duo motherboard that will support two RAID 1 arrays. I'll be using four hard drives, two 150GB Raptors and two 500GB Samsungs. Each will be mirrored by its partner. The Asus P5B Deluxe looks nice. I won't be overclocking anything. Any suggestions?

I'm looking for a Core 2 Duo motherboard with RAID 1 support. I was thinking of the Asus P5W DH Deluxe, but it has terrible RAID options. Any recommendations?

I've been using a Logitech Harmony 880 with an XP MCE remote USB receiver to control my HTPC (along with my HDTV and receiver). The other day the Harmony stopped working on the HTPC. I also tried the MCE remote and it didn't work either. The USB receiver did light up with both remotes, but...

This just started happening in the last few days - when I launch some games in full screen it minimizes to the taskbar. For example, when I launch Halo the splash screen opens. Then the program, showing the main menu, opens full screen for about 2 seconds. Then it minimizes to the desktop. When...

That results in the same problem.

I figured it out. There's a small hole labeled reset you can use a paper clip in. Works fine again.
