I think its stopped since i got rid of the "...user\application data\no eggs poke" folder as well as a ".docume~1\All Users\Application Data\4wipewaitstart" folder wich also contained a bunch of exe files that meant nothing to me. I have left PC running for a couple of days and havn't seen the...

Oh, what on earth is this? *doesn't enjoy cleaning up other peoples computers very much* At the moment I'm assuming this is something worth removing... I dont know where/what it could've come from.

Right, first I'll try avoid downloading more programs, so I'll disable system restore, go into safemode, clear out the temporary folders and delete the new batch of sta*.exe's thats shown up, and run spybot/ad-aware and see if they still keep appearing first.

None of the registry keys are there, I searched for a random 4 or 5 of the other exes and none of them there except sta*.exe, no processes, no folders. This PC just keeps getting sta*.exe files, which I assume would cause all the other crap to hit the fan if I ran any of them, (which I know...

I'll look anyway

Ok, only details I know is that its possibly TrojanDownloader.Win32.Swizzor and the following directory C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp constantly gets filled up with sta*.exe where * is any sort of hexidecimal looking number. eg sta3C.exe or sta38F.exe and...

Well, heres a slightly unexpected ending. The 2nd refirbished model I got, after doing alittle bitch over the phone, about how unfair it is to get a monitor thats a piece of trash, way older than the one I paid for, after having only recently bought and hardly even used my one. In any...

the interesting thing is. Is there any possible reason (apart from pure dumb bad luck) that imediatly the older model I got has exactly the same, no image at all problem? Like, has the power cable somehow got wierd and frying something (cant hear/smell a thing tho) or is there a self...

Replacement arrived. Its a REV A00 It was manufactured november 2004. The first thing I did, when the box arrived, was think, "this aint a new one is it" Because the box was a different shape and size, the monitor "assembled" in a bunch of protective sheets, the vga cable it came with...

Well that was fun, I decided to ring at like 10am. Auto phone services ask me to have that friggen number thing handy that I cant find, (and cant find it saying anywhere online where to find on any monitors) Anyway, I decided after stalling at this for abit to just keep going anyway...

I wish I could say I had no problems, actually my monitor was perfect, no dead pixels, completly minimal backlight problems, the monitor kicked the pants off anything I've seen or used before. A couple of days ago the image just dissapeared, almost like a loose wire just fell out or...

I got the 500 watt purely on the basis of me knowing I wont have to buy a new PSU when I get round to upgrading my PC. Otherwise the 400 watt counterpart would have sufficed. Personally I like to know I got more than enough and will therefore wont have a worry in the world as far as my power...

I just got the enermax liberty 500watt. Finally somewhere in New Zealand supplies it, Its awesome. I didn't have much prob with sata/pata being on same cables, it doesn't really get in the way, and ultimatly means less number of cables in the package. Tho I wouldn't use a sata/pata on one...

I rang 0800-446-255 and they said they're closed, and that office hours are 9am till 5pm. Monday~Friday But seeming monday is a public holiday I have a feeling I need to wait another day, I'll try on monday anyway tho. Bad luck on my part huh.

Double posting is fun.... Anyway, it seems the only way is via phone? Online asks for some service tag, which, I cant find, and their website doesn't explain where to find, so I assume for buying monitors there is none. Which means I have to remember to ring them and hope its open on...

Hrmm. Okay I'm now using a totally disgusting 17" blurry CRT, oh god I hate it. Its a long weekend here in New Zealand, so I suspect that dell will be sleeping untill Tuesday, things have to happen in the most awkward times dont they? Reading through all their crap now to find out what...

I dont know whats happening but, I've had it since the very end of november, no problems. But, about 5 minutes ago, the image just went black, I thought my computer reset on me or something, but, it didn't come back. I reset my pc, image still black. So I try pushing OSD menu button, that...

Is it me or is your shoes a pathway to an alternative dimension or something?

Really? wtf wierd..... Very wierd, I KNOW that I've tried that before and more than once! Use s/pdif out, and I had no audio playing at all, so assumed that I got no sound at all because I wasn't using digital output on soundcard (because it did work when I did on my old speakers). I...

My understanding is that powerDVD does NOT do dolby digital/dts. The only option available is to send the sound through digital spdif to be decoded by an external decoder. Otherwise, best you can get dolby pro logic, not dolby digital. This applies to pretty much every single software dvd...

My rear speaker stands are boxes... One using the outer colourless box that the speakers came in. The other using the inner box (the one that actually has all the advertisement/crap over it...) I wanna know about those stands used in pics on logitechs website >.<

After asking around for nearly a month, this is so far the best answer I've got. That really sucks, does 1280x720 go all wierd when playing with horizontal/vertical/phase etc controls? eg, the image jumps/moves when you first change something, even if its irrelevant to the option your...

Still havn't got a responce from my questions, so, I'll be lame and repost... does the component colour turn more similiar to vga if you turn off the "video mode" in the monitors image settings? Because I find that everything looks really dark and the monitor screws around with colours when...

Cannibal, try see if there are any settings to fix that, I assume you try auto calibrating the monitor and/or repositioning (judging by the screenshots you have /ok), that sorta crap, we dont have xbox 360 yet so I cant play with it... also, does the component colour turn more similiar to...

yes the 7800 can, dual link dvi != two dvi connections.

It appears some do, most dont with ghosting etc. I've noticed its pretty minimal and am happy with the results. @Cannible, ok,1280x728 is the closest to 16:10 ratio if you want to have the smallest black bars / least distortion possible. But aspect of 16:9 produces pretty small black bars...

Happy new year everyone. Its 2006 now here in New Zealand. Crappy fireworks photo from where I currently live to celebrate It was all let off from one spot on the beach. An area semi-fenced off (tape) was used to set them off, while all the drunk people "woah" and cheered at the pretty...

crt produces better overall image quality. I havn't seen anything look better at 480i than on an actual crt TV. Maybe, (apart from any monitors image scaling which doesn't look too hot on LCD) its because the 2405 ends up showing just how crap the image really is at that level. Have you...

I wasnt going to answer due to the rude behaviour of the question...

(Sorry for the delay) Yes, the Z-5500 digital does not come with the optical cable, you will have to go and buy one seperate. Its toslink, the cables look like this: Or similar (the connections obviously are what your looking at) I use the cable I got that came with creative inspire...

My 2005fpw detects what type of image and displays correctly I've used: Pal Pal 60hz (display says ntsc) ntsc

I'll tell you my setup. Computer, DELL2005fpw, logitech z5500, Xbox, Gamecube and Xbox360 (except the xbox360 isn't here yet) Computer hooked up to the dell via DVI Xbox360 hooked up via VGA Gamecube via composite Xbox via s-video So no changes necessary for video. Sound computer...

To answer the speaker thing. If your can find speakers that has a digital decoder (fibre optic input and dolby digital support, eg the logitech z5500 or creative inspire digital 5700). Then thats great, actually, both these models have a 3.5mm input as well, (same as typical headphone jack)...

Yes Chris_Morley, 1280x1025 is 5:4 But the 20" lcd's are typically 1600x1200, which is 4:3 (and thats what I comparing) pawstar, yes, I'd be interested in getting the actual physical dimensions between the two monitors. I think lcd pixels are not always identicle in size. So, itd be...

I realise this hasn't had any posts for like, an entire 2 days, but something occured to me on the whole discusion of wide vs its counterpart. Yes the human eyes naturally views horizontally thus the whole immersion thing. (And idea that its better for your eyes) But like, people seem to...

Yeah I have, why? I got xbox hooked up via s-video.

Reminder that you dont HAVE to play games at the native resolution taking up the entire screen. I have a 2005 which is not quite as big but... I can play quake 4 at 1024x768 using the ingame widescreen button and (dispite being slightly off since 16:9 is not 16:10) the game runs and looks...

Hi Michigan! I have WinFast 2000 xp Expert. The software which comes with the card supports scaling: Force Ratio 4:3 Force Ratio 16:9 If you untick the one thats selected, it will scale to the entire screen Tho the software doesn't support PAL60hz, which is unfortunate for me since I...
