This is unfortunately very true. Of all of the mechanical or electronic items that I bought while there, all of them have broken in some way or another within a few months. You get what you pay for, I guess.

I, too, can vouch for China selling consoles. I saw quite a few for sale in various places when I visited Beijing last year. It was in a large market too, so not any sort of secret underground black market. The overall authenticity of both the consoles and the games was somewhat dubious, however.

I changed the security and permissions in the properties, and it seems to be working now (asking me for a username and password when I try to access over network). Thanks

Hello, I have recently set up a VPN to connect my desktop which is on ethernet in my room to my laptop which travels around. The VPN connection works fine and I have gotten basic filesharing to work, but I would like to have the files only be shared over the VPN between my two computers, but...

I installed my router today and everything works great, thanks everyone.

Well thanks to everyone for giving all of your advice; I definitely was not expecting this much response. I kind of got lost in all of the acronyms and whatnot as the thread went on, and my competence with this kind of stuff is somewhat sub-par, so I have ordered a router in hopes that it will...

Hello, I have recently been trying to make some changes to my home network. I have been using static IP's for the past few years but I would like to change to dynamic IP's in order to make it easier for guests, etc. However, I cannot seem to get internet connection sharing to work correctly...

Okay so the problem is back. Turns out that when I turned the computer back upright, the error came back. I have tried reseating and also changing slots. Would this be a videocard problem or motherboard one? I will try testing with a different video card if I find one.

Well reseating seems to have worked. Yay.

Actually the error code is 2b, not 26, My bad. However, this is listed as an "initialize video" code. The computer pauses on 2b for a moment and lets out one long beep and then continues to FF. I will try reseating the card and perhaps trying a different GPU. Any other ideas?

I have an evga 680i sli board in my computer. It was working great until a few days ago, when I was moving. I took the computer apart for the move and put it back together at the end, but now the computer will not boot. When I start it up, the led display scrolls through some numbers and...

okay I have tried downloading wordpress (it conveniently was already installed by my domain provider). However, is there any way to put the blog inside of an html that I have made already? I have designed a layout for the site in dreamweaver and I would like to put the blog inside that page...

Some friends and I are starting a website, and for the homepage we would like to be able to post news and information in a blog style format, like the one that penny arcade, red vs blue, and slashdot use. What kind of software do these people use to make their homepages? Right now I only have...

I was just wondering if anyone knows how to use EAX effects for the X-Fi with Vista. Whenever I look under the EAX effects tab it is empty. Is there any way I can turn on these effects? I happily remember the times with my old Audigy 2 card and XP where I could play my games with the...

I have been trying to run certain programs on my school's computers, but recently they have put in a software restriction policy that seems to block pretty much all programs except microsoft office and internet and so on. Is there any way to go around these restrictions? I tried the "run as"...
