    Installed Vista, won't recognise burnt DVD-Rs

    I finally made the plunge and got Vista x64. So far everything seems to be working alright, except for any data DVD-R. Whenever I stick one in that has a bunch of data, Vista sees it is a new blank disc. A friend said he heard something similar before but doing a quick google search I...

    How do you do this? Flash video tooltip

    I'm trying to accomplish the same thing as is on this page http://www.revostock.com/ Halfway down there is a row of images under "Editor's Choice" and 'footage'. If you roll your mouse over the images, a tooltip pops up that plays video of that image. I checked the source and it looks like...

    SLI/Crossfire motherboards, extra PCIe slot used for add on card?

    Can the dual PCIe x16 slots on a motherboard such as the ASUS P5W DH DELUXE be used for something other than video or is it just for SLI? I need one for a x16 video card, and then the other for a x4 professional capture card.

    I think I'm done with Leadtek plus a question

    I've had three Leadtek cards so far. A Geforce 4 4400, 6600GT and 7800GTX. As of now, only the GF4 still works. The 6600GT died within a couple months. Luckily Newegg being so great, I was able to exchange it for full price, to get the 7800GTX. I got that July of last year. Today I...

    SATA drives slow down immensely once 50% filled?

    Ok I have never heard of this, but apparently someone on another board swears that it is common knowledge that all SATA drives lose their speed once they are 50% full and just get slower as the drive fills. Is there any truth to this? Aren't the guts of a SATA drive nearly identical to an...

    Slide down form fields such as "Search this Forum"

    I need to make something that acts similar to the quicklink "Search this Forum" as on this site. I have a button that once clicked, drops down a login form (username/password) over the current content on the page. If it isn't clicked, or rolledover for that matter, the form parts stay hidden...

    4x512mb or 2x1024mb sticks?

    I'm looking to upgrade to 2 gigs but wondering which would be the best route. I currently have Corsair TWINX1024-3200XLPT running at 2-2-2-5. I could get another pair for $200. Or I could sell those, and buy Corsair TWINX2048-3200C2PRO which can run at 2-3-2-6 I believe for $260...

    PS3 Launch Title: Unreal Tournament 2007?

    From our good friends at the inq, http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=28512 It's been said that the PS3 will launch in Japan first then state-side half a year later, or so. So if it turns out to be a launch title, think it will still come out for PC and Xbox360 at the same time?

    Got an Xbox 360 hands on preview yesterday...impressions....

    Out of the blue a week ago, I was contacted by MS through a forum, none-the-less, and invited to NYC to try out the Xbox 360 for a day. All paid, so who would say no? :D You'll probably start reading a few posts about this over the next couple days. Gotta say that I really don't know what...

    RMA dilemma, replace or refund and upgrade

    Since my Leadtek went down the crapper, and Newegg doesn't have any more they opted to swap it with an eVGA 6600 GT, or give me $180. That's only $40 below what I paid 4 months ago, and I'm willing to shell out another ~$200, max $400 total on faster card. So which would you do and if...

    DirectX failing on 6600GT

    My card has been working like a champ until today. I played a couple maps of BF2 then in the middle of one, both monitors shut off, pc rebooted, and now I can't play any games. BF2, Far Cry, Half Life2. All will load and display nothing but garble and funky triangles. I ran dxdiag and all...

    DVD Burning and Windows NT?

    At my work we use an NT based video editor and currently only burn dvd's using a standalone burner. I was looking at the system requirements of a few internal IDE burners and none list NT as supported. Is this the case for all? Most DVD burning apps list NT in their supported OS'es but no...
