I want a laptop for music producing(cubase etc. so a dedicated sound card), gaming, and college. suggestions? thanks

For some reason I cannot get past the necessary installation of WMP 11. It says that I need Media Center edition 2005 or later to install it.

I have been having alot of problems with windows media center when I try to watch TV (not very sharp, will desync, become laggy/jittery) and I want to know if there are any other programs that I can watch TV through. thanks

I called D-Link and they helped me fix my problem, yahhh!!!! All they told me to do was basically power-cycle my router and modem. So I now have wireless internet... feels good...

I found that when I let DHCP assign my IP address it starts with 169, so does that narrow down the problem?

I think I am getting a little bit closer to getting the internet to cooperate. In my router settings I added a DHCP reservation for my computer. I still am not recieving packets...

Here is something else I found out. When I give my computer a static ip and dns it will connect but I cannot access any website. If I let it auto configure ip and dns then it will go to acquiring network address and then I will get the "limited or no connectivity". I can send but not receive...

I changed the channel and set my network to no security/encryption and now I am connected, but... when I go into my browser, I cannot connect to any website. Looking at my network status I see that I am sending packets but not receiving, so how can I resolve this?

I have recently connected my stereo system to my computer via the aux function and it sounds a ton better than the crappy built-into-monitor speakers, but they are not silent when they should be. They are noisy (like noise in a photo), white noise. Is there a program or something that can get...

I recently bought and installed an EW-7128g PCI wireless card, but I have not been able to connect to any network so far. In hopes of getting it to work I set my network settings to no security and it still won't connect. The weird thing is that it detects my network and I am getting anywhere...

Uhh.... I don't think I belong here.... I got it to work... all I had to do was apply a little pressure and it popped right in.... I feel soooo stupid...

well, there are multiple unkown devices since I just reformatted my computer so it could be there but I am not sure. So if my card is actually detected, what can I do to enable it since the 'found new hardware wizard' does not pop up?

I just tested it on a second computer and once again nothing happened... I think the card may be dead... :(

I think it is in the device manager, what shoud I be looking for? Will the card show its name? I jsut did a reformat of my computer so I have a bunch of unknown devices that need drivers... I also tried another PCI slot and nothing different happened...

I bought an Edimax 7128G wireless PCI card after getting fed up with my WG111 card usb card. I think it is a Ralink RT61 reference card. When I install the provided and new drivers it still won't recognize that my card is plugged in. I even reformatted and the same thing happened... it won't...

i see what you mean... :(

Today I took out an 80gig harddrive from an old computer I had lying around and installed it in my rig. I used Paragon bootCD to format it into FAT32. Okay, My 289gig HDD is going to be where XP lives and my 80gig HDD is where OSX will live. OSX and its programs can only be installed...

I don't know the difference except when I see a thinkpad and an Ideapad in the same price range the ideapad has a MUCH larger hardrive, better proccesor, more ram, etc. Also I will be buying a laptop in the future (2-8) months and am wondering if these Lenovo laptops have a good...

After reformatting my HDD I got real fed up with my WG111 POS so I did what you said and bouth the Edimax card, the one with the longer antenna. Hopefully this works...

Well, Right now I am formatting my whole HDD using Paragon Manager and have a copy of WinXP media center edition OEM HP. If you have seen my HDD problem thread, that is why I am making this thread. I'd like to do this the right way with 1 partition for WinXp, another for Linux, and then 1...

Today I preformed a great purge. I got rid of ~100Gigs of data and then created a logical partition of 100.8Gigs. I call this partition my Z:\ Media partition. In order to clear up more space I moved all my pictures, music, and media related programs to the Z drive. Things still don't...

Well, thats what happens when you were born into the world of OEM computers... I don't think 80% of OEM consumers bother to do this either. So I should be wiping my HDD and reinstalling XP every 6-12 months?

Thanks for the advice JiimmiG, I think I want to do a proper XP installation and then setup a Ubunutu partition. No, since I erased the XP partition on my HDD I don't think I would have a copy of XP. But I remember seeing a free copy of XP w/o all the bloatware. I just can't find the link...

Because of my HDD problem I only have 18GB of free space. Is it possible to dual boot w/ this much space?? also, do you think that a linuxOS will detect all of my 300Gigs or does it have that problem that windows has were it only detects 128Gigs?? Could I use KDE w/ Ubuntu? thanks

my wireless card is a WG111

this option looks like it might be the only way... If I do so, I would like to try a Linux distro. Will Linux have the same problem??

Recently, I deleted a partition on my computer in order to resolve this problem unaware that it contains the install files for WinXP... oops... Because of my hard drive problems (see above URL) I think I need to reformat my HDD and I would like to be free from WinOS. I've tried Ubuntu before...

The windows install isn't that old, I am guessing 2-3 years old.

Well, I deleted the HP_RECOVERY partition and nothing bad happed. Now my C:\ drive has 298GB on it so i have ~18GB of free space, but I still haven't gained the ~175GB of free space I should have.

Just got off the phone with HP and their support sucks. Once you're out of warranty they won't help you and just want to sell you stuff... ughh...

I was also thinking about totally getting rid of the HP partition as I really don't think it is needed b/c the OS is on the C:\ drive not the D:\.

Not good at all... :( I used a registery tool , tool, but i passed its test... I don't know what to do, but i have a feeling that there is some sort of barrier in the way...

I did what Nenu said and it only comes up with 115GB of data...

cleanmgr did nothing since I already removed all temp files w/ CCleaner.

I have used CCleaner before and I just used it again. It only cleaned up ~2mb of data. I think there is a bigger problem than cleaning up files. I have defragged it using windows defrag and Paragon hardisk manager defrag (which did a great job), but still to no avail.

I am running XP w/ SP2. what do you mean by this?

I did a WinDirStat of both drives and it says that I only have 128GB total... Looking through the help threads I think that I have a barrier problem: Requirements to break the 137GB barrier
