    Speaker recommendtion

    The probably is less about money and more about space. I have an old receiver, but it only has 1 input on it. I would like something that is going to take the least amount of space. I think piako has the right idea.

    Speaker recommendtion

    I don't have room for a receiver, 5 speakers and a sub. I just want something simple and not to expensive. If I could keep the price under $75 that would be awesome. I appreciate your suggestions.

    Speaker recommendtion

    Does anybody know of a decent set of speakers (2.0 or 2.1 setup) that has 2 audio inputs on it? I have seen some that have a usb and a 1/8' jack, but they are all meant for laptops and I am afraid the sound might suffer because of the size and intended use. I appreciate the help.

    The picture format is jpeg and it does not matter if I am trying to view pictures taken with my camera or if I copy pictures from my hard drive to the XD card. I have only tried jpeg images because that is all I care about. I have checked with the manufacturer of the laptop (Toshiba) and...

    Windows XP Installation Problems

    There is a lot of false logic in what you said. Not one thing you said about the RAM, HDD, or CPU tells you (or anyone) that the hardware is in perfect working order. I will admit though that it sounds like a simple overheating problem. Do what the others have said.

    I hope you have done the obvious, like checking for spyware and viruses. I usually do this with at least 2 spyware and 2 virus programs since they each are better at finding certain things. Have you checked your memory? Ran chkdsk?

    s-video socket for TV

    you might need to go into display properties, click on the settings tab and click on the advanced tab. Some where in there should be an option, but it will vary depending on the video card and the only one I am familiar with is ATI.

    I own an Olympus Stylus 600 (which is basically a step down from that one) and the only complaint I have about it is the fact that it takes XD memory cards. The XD card cost ~twice as much as the SD cards. The camera takes good pictures and worked well the couple of times I was taking...
