I'm looking for suggestions on how to setup dual monitors on an executive desk that can allow me to still talk to someone seated in front of the desk if needed. I don't mind having to move the monitors in order to view someone in front of me. It's a large excecutive desk, classic rectangular...

Moved to a new home and one PC will not have ethernet access. I built the PC back in December 2020. It has a ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING motherboard and the router is a TPI-Link AC1750. Looking for suggestions on a wifi card. Let me know if you think I will need to replace the router too or I...

I am needing to upgrade the living room TV. Looking for something at least 70", but not anything 80" or above. I looked at the following for guidance. I've never owned an OLED, so not sure if burnout is a common issue. I was hoping to stay under 3K for purchase, so any thoughts on that...

I know new hardware is being released next month and prices should drop. However, I'm not looking to build a top of the line system so I don't think waiting is going to make much difference and plus I could use the computer now. Something in between the mid to high range. Around $1500 or so is...

Ideally I would purchase the Dell XPS 13 (2015) if I had the budget to do so, but my budget is ~ $600 (slightly flexible). I desire something lightweight, portable, reasonably good battery life, good keyboard and reasonable performance. Windows preferable. I do not need a touchscreen, DVD...

My wife purchased this for my mother for Christmas. If I connect this to my computer to put music on it, will it not work on my mother's computer once she connects it to it? All I want to do is put some music from Amazon on it before I wrap it up and give it to her. Any issues with this?

So basically the other day I updated my email address in addition to deleting some old subscribed threads in the user control panel, and now I don't see the general mayhem forum. When I updated my email address, I received a URL that went to my spam folder, however Kyle went ahead set the...

This will be for a family friend/neighbor who is simply looking to replace her desktop with something simple. She has no special needs in terms of software or hardware and just wants to use it for e-mail, internet, etc... I really don't know anything about notebooks, so feel free to educate...

The other day I noticed that my monitor (Acer X223W) showed up as "Analog" in the ATI Catalyst Control Center. (I'm also using Windows 7 Pro - 64 bit) On the monitor, I made sure the setting was correctly set to "digital" and not to analog. I'm using a Radeon 5850 as my video card and I'm...

I'm wondering if any of you know of an iphone application where you can build customizable flowcharts, but when you're done creating the flowchart you can use it in a manner where a series of prompts run through the flowchart, rather than just looking at the image of the flowchart? Hope that...

I'm looking for an inexpensive, but decent printer with wireless capability, esp one that has an easy wireless install. This one looks interesting. Anyone have experiences with it? Brother MFC 490-CW

I'm in need of a printer. I plan on hooking it up to my desktop, but I would like to be able to print to it using my laptop (wireless). It will be for personal use only and I don't have any special needs except that it needs to be cheap. Basically the cheapest printer I can do this with is...

the original purchaser's user name/password in order for someone to play it after buying it used? Or it had some weird requirement like that in order for the person who bought it used to be able to play it. Was it Call of Duty 4, The Witcher, or World in Conflict? I think it was COD4, but...

My dilemma is that I'm in med school and it's like living Groundhog day over and over in a bunker without much time to do anything else but study. As a result I don't have the time to research stuff as much as I would like and I need some help. With that being said, my CRT monitor is dying...

Hey folks. I have a problem which I think most of you can probably solve, but as for me I'm clueless in this area. The problem is that my wireless connection won't allow more than one person to connect at a time. This is true 90% of the time; it's rare that two or more can connect at a...

My school issued us a laptop that doesn't have an internal CD-ROM drive. Instead they gave us an external one. So here's my dilemma: my friend/fellow student and I are looking at picking up one or two bargain bin games that we can play online together. However, we don't want to lug...

Title says it all. Keys still work, but some of them don't respond as sensitive as they used to . I've already popped them off and cleaned them as much as possible. Is there anything else I can do? This happened two days ago and it seems dry, but I'm wondering if someone has had a...

Hi First off, I think this is the correct forum to post this in. If not, my apologies. To make this short, my brother saw a device that plugs into a USB port that monitors computer activity. Now where he saw it, I'm not exactly sure. He is trying to identify this device because he...

A buddy of mine gave me a couple of setups to compare, so I picked the one that seemed to match his needs and budget. He does have options though and a budget of around $1500 - $1650. Seeing how it's been a little over a year since my last build, I might be out of the loop in the hardware...

I've been reading so many forums about digital cameras that my eyes are about to bleed. I'm doing this because I want to buy one relatively soon, but I'm not finding one that satisfies me. This would be my 1st digital camera. I started off thinking the sd800 IS would be a shoe-in, but...

I became interested in purchasing a digital camera so I took one of those leisure learning classes that teach the basics about cameras. From what I know up to this point, I would probably like a Canon and I'm willing to spend around $300, up to $400 if need be. I don't mind a camera...

I will come out and tell you that I know absolutely nothing about networking or servers, so I apologize in advance for any knowledge that I seek that might be commonplace. At work (physical therapy clinic) we have a network with 9 computers on it. Over the last week we have had some entry...

Howdy folks - I don't have any knowledge of photography, etc...so I need your help. I have to submit a lot of photos with my medical school application, but they need to be 2" x 3". My co-worker brought her digital camera to take some pics of me yesterday and then sent them to me in an...

Howdy I cannot seem to get the front audio panel to work on my Antec P180 case. I've read the manual over and double checked the connections, but still nothing. I have an Asus A8N-SLI Premium mobo with an Audigy 2 sound card. All I want to do is use my headphones. I'm not sure if this...

I'm looking for a screensaver that depicts quotes, but more importantly one that allows me to put in quotes of my liking.

So a coworker came to me today and stated that he was using his laptop on his carpet floor and then heard a weird ticking/crackling sound. After that his mouse quit working. I asked him if it sounded like an electrical crackling sound and he said, "yeah, that's it". Any suggestions on where...

First off, I appreciate everyone taking the time to provide their opinion. With that said, I have a budget of about $2000 to work with for a new system. The computer will be used primarily for gaming. My wife does some GIS work on the one I have now, so I don’t think that it proposes a...

I've noticed this fan has a regular 3 pin power connector, but it also has another single cord connector. I've heard that it might be a tachometer? I'm just curious of two things with this fan. One, does the tachometer need to be plugged in for the temperature regulation to work? And if...
