I need a tool that will pull the information from the video card. I.E. Serial number, model, revision, etc. Anyone know anything about doing this?

Title pretty much explains it. I did some googling and I can't figure out how to do it. You can't touch the file in Vista it won't let you do anything to it.

I have 10k+ MP3s with the majority of them being 320kbps. I would like to cut them all down to 192 not only to save hard drive space but so that I can store more on my iPod. I bought ALT MP3 Converter, but this program kept crashing. So I emailed them about it and they told me I might have...

I've been using Avira AntiVir for quite some time now. It's a free program, but recently they started doing this demo license thing and I have to go redownload the program every now and then to keep my free license or whatever. I'm tired of doing this. So now i'm looking for a good, free...

Not sure which thread this should go in. I bought my Logitech G5 about 2 weeks ago. Already the pads on the mouse are wearing down. I can feel plastic rubbing on the mouse pad. Feels like there is grit under the mouse. It's scratching my func pad. Anyone else having this problem?

What is the best core for the athlon 64 X2 processors?

I believe my HD is dying...Here's the story. Everything was fine until about 3 days ago. I moved the directory that some of my MP3s were in and then they wouldn't play anymore. They queue in Winamp when I load that directory. But when I try to play it skips over them like they aren't there. So I...

About 20 of my MP3s won't play, it sees them on the playlist but when I try to play them it just skips over them(winamp). The path is correct, I know that. When I checked in the directory they are there. I can't delete or overwrite them it says "access is denied." They aren't read only, checked...

I'm a little confused about the new dual core 64 CPUs as far as compatibility goes. Does the motherboard have to support the dual core cpu. Or will it work as long as it supports any 64 bit cpu???

My system keeps locking up. It seems to only do it when I read/write a lot of data at once on the hard drive. Usually only when I open World of Warcraft is when it does it. The system will get slightly laggy then appear to be fine. Then a few seconds later it will completely halt. It won't do...

I have a AIW 9800 Pro 128 with the arctic cooling vga silencer rev.3. The CATV part of the card gives off a decent amount of heat and I don't even use it. I'm wondering if there is a way to disable(turn off) the CATV part to reduce heat.

I have a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-104 dvd burner. I'm using TDK 8X 4.7GB DVD-R. Some times it will work, sometimes it won't. I use DVD Decryptor to burn my DVDs.

Can bulging/leaking capacitors cause the processor to run hotter then normal? When I play World of Warcraft the screen will mess up and I can't see anything.It didn't used to do this. I figured the CPU might be overheating. I applied a new coat of thermal paste and it doesn't do it nearly as...

For about 6 months now 4 or 5 of the capacitors near the AGP slot have been bulging. And a week ago I noticed one SLIGHTLY leaked this stuff. This hasn't been a problem until about 3 weeks ago. When playing games the video card will mess up and lines and crazy random patterns will run across the...

I have a Radeon 9800 Pro 128 AIW. It works fine, just occassionally it will overheat and the screen goes all crazy(only in games), until recently. Now I play a game for 5 minutes and it does it(WoW and CS:Source). I bought a new cooler for it, should be in soon. I'm just wondering why it does it...

I have a Radeon 9800 Pro 128 All-In-Wonder no OC. What cooler do you all recommend? I play WoW and source most commonly.

A friend of mine has 2 sticks of 512 one is Roseline, and the other is generic. Both of them work when installed individually. But when they are both in together it only reads 512, in POST and in Windows. Tried rearranging them, still. They're both PC133 SDRAM.

Found this on another forum, thought you all would enjoy this :D Guide to Leet Speak And yes, it's really Microsoft.

Is the software out there(preferably free). That will monitor and log all user-end operations that go on. Such as websites/pages visited. Programs run, how long, what time, what happened in program. If the burner was used, what was burned.I don't need one that will monitor system processes, but...

Hokay, I have two monitors and a PCI video card and an AGP video card. What I want is for the desktop to show through the AGP card. But...when I open a game I want the game to show through the AGP card and the desktop to still show through PCI card while playing the game. Is this possible?

OK, no flaming. Just enjoy the humor in what I did. I have a cold cathode light on my rig and four fan speed controllers in one of the 3 1/2 bays. I'm only using 2 of the 4 fan controllers. So I was trying to find a use for the other 2. I decided to connect my cold cathode to it, hoping to be...

Having heat issues in WoW. So I figured i'd get a new cooler. Anyone heard about or used the Thermaltake Giant III ? Looks really nice, people are saying good stuff. But I want to hear it from you all. Thanks in advance.

My class was throwing away extremely old PCs. I selected a case to mod out and have fun with. It's one of those old PCs with the tubro button. I shall call it, Turbo Compy! All I have to do is decide on a color. Either a Metallic Green or Metallic Red I think it will be. Any...
