A friend of mine is setting up a company and wants me to do an excel sheet for him. I took on the responsibility but now I'm stumped. Basically there's three people. And for each job they get a certain percentage based on who was present or not. If 1 person was present they get 60% while...

I installed Windows 7 on my main drive, and I'm having a lot of issues with ownership. I only have one User, which happens to be the administrator. It even says Administrator under my user, however, every now and then it says access denied, and I have to "Run as Administrator." I tried to change...

Hello, guys. I recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate to see if I liked it. I installed it on my 1TB slave drive, with Windows XP Pro on my much smaller main drive. I had to reformat XP Pro because I had a really bad trojan, and rather than having to deal with it, I decided to just format and...

Hey guys, I've been getting some serious popups lately. I looked in my startup and I've got a NvCpl program starting up even after I disable it. It says it's location is in the system32 folder which is what is making me nervous. I've read the NvCpl is normally a Nvidia control panel, but...

I've created an eCommerce website for my uncles company. I have my reasons for not trusting him so I need your guys' help writing up a contract that will have him pay me for one full year. My duties will include adding the items (probably close to 15,000 items), marketing and general...

Hey, guys. My current set-up is a main PC (2.66 C2D, 2GB of DDR2, 9800 GTX OC'd to 738 MHz IIRC) and, well, I don't like keeping it on due to power reasons. I have a much older much slower PC that I use for networking / using it as a server / downloading. Anyway, I was mulling over my options...

So, I have a torrent box built to run 24/7. Underclocked, Windows XP MCEdition, all that good stuff. It's S-Video linked to my TV with a headphone jack to RCA for the audio. AKA A basic set-up. The computer itself is pretty old. Asus A8N-SLI board 3200+ AMD 1.25GB of PC2100 RAM GeForce 7900...

I have a 9800GTX running audio off my mainboard, and whenever I watch movies the audio is always off by .5 seconds. (I also have a 24" Samsung monitor. I know for some home theaters the audio gets put off a little due to the delay from the t.v.. Any idea how I can fix this if I can? Like...

Hey. So, as I'm waiting for my new PSU I decided to dig out an old computer and make it into my torrent box. Anyway, it's an old P4 1.6GHz. My friend gave it to me a while back saying he didn't need it and the only thing bad was the HD. So I swapped the HDs and installed Ubuntu. It ran fine...

I'm putting together a system on newegg. And it will cost me about $15 more to go from E4500 to Phenom 9600. I have only a day or so to decide. Which should I do? I mean at first glance going quad core would be ideal, but I've heard bad things about Phenom and AM2+ in general. Ideas?

Are there any mysql dictionary database downloads out there? Free would be preferred but I woulnd't mind paying for it if it's not too much money. Thanks for the help

Namely the Xbox 360 controller? I'm going to be getting a new PC soon and would like to play The Witcher. I'm all for Kb/m but it looks like The Witcher would be a good game to sit back and play with a 360 controller. Does anyone know if the game supports the 360 controller?

I haven't had a new computer since mobile 2500+ bartons were the shit. And when that machine broke, I got a Celeron 1.3GHz hand-me-down. So it's time to upgrade. I'm thinking about putting together the following specs, wondering how you guys think it will play with COD4, BF2, HL2 and Crysis. And...

I've used Windows XP since it came out and I like it. However I feel like I want to 'upgrade' to Vista. Is it still unstable? I've read a few threads on the first few pages and it seems like everyone is raving about Vista x64. I'd be getting Windows Vista Home (since it's free), how is the...

I can't believe it's getting to the point where buying a PC from Dell is cheaper then building my own. So, I just might do that. Vostro 200 Mini Tower Core2Duo E4500 or E6550 for +$60.00 2GB DDR2 667 160GB SATA WinXP Home or Vista Home 19" LCD or 20" for +$30.00 Total: $449.00...

So, it seems XB360 won't read any files that aren't in the default folders, like My Videos, My Photos and My Music. This is a problem if you keep all your media on external HDD's like I do. I added the songs and videos into the WMP11's library, and it shows up on the PC but not on the Xbox...

As the thread title says, I have $800 to spend. Need all parts besides monitor and case. What would you do with the low budget of $800. Planning on using it for light gaming (COD4), Photoshop and browsing. Well?

Alright, o I did some more research and decided pretty much what I was going to build. However, before I make my purchase I want to put it past you guys, maybe you know of a cheaper, or better solution. LET ME KNOW :) Processor: Intel E6750 2.66GHz Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L Memory...

So, I haven't built a PC since the mobile 2400+'s were badass. :) But I'm planning on building one up in the VERY near future. I want to be able to play games like Crysis, Call of Duty 4, BioShock pretty seemlessly. Any input would be appreciated. A64 X2 5600+ Windsor - $139.99 ASUS...

So, I bought a Sharp Aquos 42" 720p HDTV and I hooked my xbox to it through component, but it's only coming out at 420p.. What can I do about that? BTW, I have the xbox output set to "HD"

Motherboard GIGABYTE GA-M61P-S3 Link Note: Very negotiable. GIVE ME SUGGESTIONS! Processor AMD Athlon 64 X2 3600+ (Retail) Link Note: While none of these items are set in stone, this is the one I'm thinking about changing most. It looks like it's the best bang for the buck in the AMD...

I'm planning on upgrading my system pretty soon. This is the motherboard I'm thinking about getting, it comes with a GeForce 6100 onboard. I've been out of the loop for QUITE some time. Is the 6100 any good? At the moment, the only thing I plan on using the PC for is Photoshop and World of...

Well, as the topic states. I'm about to spend quite a bit of money on a new PC. However, I want to be able to use this computer in 2 seperate rooms. I am able to drill holes in walls, so if it needs to be done, I can do it. I was thinking just going with Bluetooth devices (mouse and keybaord)...

I started a thread a few days ago about getting a motherboard and processor for under $150.00 but.. I think I'm justgoign to go all out and stop trying to just patch up my old stuff. I want to spend around $500.00 and I need the following items. Processor, Motherboard, RAM, Video Card. I want...
