The laptop is 1080, but I usually game at 4k on the TV. However, I will probably leave my desktop with its 1080 video card attached to the TV, and use the laptop almost always by itself. I bought the laptop I was looking at with the RTX 2070, I7-9th gen, 32GB RAM, 1 TB NVME SSD, 1 TB standard...

I can't decide if my new laptop should have a 2070 or 2080 (not max-q There's a decent price difference, but from what I can see the performance difference isn't that great. I'll be using the laptop mostly on my lap, but occasionally on my desk hooked up to my 4k 43" TV. I have a laptop right...

Thank you for the replies, I really appreciate the time and effort. I've done some more research and I agree that C# is going to be my friend going forward, even if it means learning it pretty much from scratch.

I've been away from programming for a very long time. The last stuff I did was VB.Net and WinForms. I want to get back into it, but with C#. Are WinForms still viable? Or should I put my time into WPF? I'm talking Desktop programs, not web programming. I might even write stuff for the...

What I ended up doing was finding a website that showed me how to replace the sticky keys program (which appears when you press shift 5 times) with a command prompt. Once there I was able to enable the admin account, sign on as admin, turn off UAC, and now I can get into the computer normally...

When I click on the username, it says "Welcome" and then immediately logs off. I am pretty sure it's because I changed the UAC settings to the third highest setting from the bottom setting earlier, as the problem didn't occur prior to this. I can't get into Windows and I need to urgently. Is...

Well here's what I am trying to do. I'm going to make a program that stores commonly used phrases/blocks of text etc. On the left will be a description of the phrase, and there will be a text box on the right that contains the full text. I wanted each description to be 'ghosted' so that you...

You could just wait 3 days to play it :P

For the life of me, I don't know why this isn't working (VB). I have a singe line textbox that is disabled by default. When the program is running, and I click it, I want it to become enabled so I can edit the contents. I can't seem to make it enabled when I click it. I've tried .MouseClick...

I guess I will have to get this on the Xbox and then PC later. I can't wait!!!

I've almost got it working, but I won't be back in the office until Friday ;) I'll update this when I get it working. I could play with it at home tonight, but I'm not in the mood :)

Oh and I did at first suggest that this be done on the server, but the System Admin wanted me to do it locally.

Thank you PTNL. I'll play with this, but I have no idea what code to add. I imagined being able to add something like Msg.SenderEmailAddress.Contains ("@mydomain.org") to see if the sender's email address contained a particular domain, but it didn't like that.

I didn't see how I could do this using the rules functions that Outlook provides, so I'm turning to VBA to achieve what I need. I basically need Outlook to look at each incoming message, and if it's from an approved Domain (of which there about 10), let it go into the Inbox. If the message...

I changed my power settings to where nothing ever gets shut off.

I tried that, after you mentioned it (after i re-enabled all cores), but it didn't change anything.

Also, my windows experience scores are the same as they were before I made the changes.

The problem never happened outside of a game.

I believe I have resolved it. Someone sent me a private message, and his suggestion seems to be working. I did ask him if it was ok to post it here, and no response yet, but I don't see the problem, so here it is. I went into msconfig, clicked the Boot tab, and the Advanced button. Here, I...

I saw no mention of speed stepping.

Well I didn't see the option to disable HT in my BIOS :(

Ok, I just did some research on Hyperthreading, and whether I should disable it or not. It seems like i should give it a go. I'll report back after I've done some testing with it disabled.

I've continued playing in a window, while monitoring the task manager, and the stutter has occurred a few times but when i glance at the task manager, everything seems normal. The CPU usage doesn't go above around 20%, ram usage is around 800mb, and the disk activity for this game is 0. I...

Hmmm, well, I am playing Deus Ex at the moment, and the stutter occurred, so I did an Alt Tab to task manager to check the CPU usage, and it was normal. But, I think that's because when this game detects that it's not the active window, it goes straight to pause mode. So, I tried running it in...

I bought a new laptop yesterday. It's a Toshiba Satellite P875-S7102. Specs: Intel® Core™ i7-3630QM Processor 8GB DDR3 1600MHz memory Windows 8 Full specs here if you need to know more: http://us.toshiba.com/computers/laptops/satellite/P870/P875-S7102/ I bought it as a replacement...

I want to get my wife one of these but I can't decide which one. I can't afford the Nexus 10" or that would be my first choice. She has a Kindle Fire from last Christmas but she wants an Android tablet. She's fed up with the Amazon-only crap. She says the Fire is too heavy to be lugging...

I could just buy the 250GB external drive too, right? I would imagine the Xbox doesn't care if it's external or internal.

Can I just plug in any external Hard Drive vis USB?

Thanks Dalearyous for the quick response! :)

I work at a Courthouse, which is one of 5 in a Circuit (5 counties). We're upgrading our website with a CMS, but I'm not sure which one to go with (Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal). I'm "ok" with Wordpress, but I've never used the others. There could be many users editing and creating content. The...

Ok thanks guys, I'll go with the $199.99 bundle and add Kinect. :)

This looks promising: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Games-Promotions/Xbox+360+4GB+Console+With+Kinect/pcmcat277800050003.c?id=pcmcat277800050003 I get a 250GB XBox with Kinect for $149.99, and sign up for the Xbox Gold service for $14.99/month (which I am sure I would want anyway).

Don't forget I also want Kinect which is another $100 or so.

I want to buy us a new or used Xbox, but I don't know whether to get the 4GB model or the 250GB model. I don't really care to download movies etc on it. It will be used just for gaming. I also understand I could buy the 4GB and add a HD to it later, correct? What kind of HD? 2.5"? I have...

Yeah see my previous comment. I got a netbook with 2GB :)

I bought her an Acer Aspire One netbook, 11.1", 2Gb of RAM, Dual Core from Walmart for $268 last night. I played with it a little today and it's pretty good. She'll be happy with it. The resolution is 1366 x 768.

I'm considering getting a Netbook for my daughter's 12th birthday (next week!) I'm looking at one for $228 with 1Gb of RAM, Dual Core, which looks sufficient. Is 1Gb of RAM enough? I'm getting it for her because she loves to write, and this will be a perfect place for her to keep her stories...

I was thinking of a Google calendar. I would just have to make a new Google account and give them all the username/password. Thanks.

I have about 7 people who want to set up a shared calendar, for their private use only. Each one will have the freedom to edit and create appointments. We use Exchange, but the problem is that one of the users is not on our network, so we can't use an Exchange calendar (so I'm told by our...

Sorry, the key has been used by me. I have played the game, for maybe a week or so. Can I just deactivate the key on my computer/account with Blizz?
