My uncle did something to his computer. Has no idea what he did and is pretty much completely computer illiterate. The problem is that when he loads a photo disk into his computer. When windows pops up that list of "What do you want to do with this" there are no choices. Every other type of...

Don't come into this subforum much but now that I got my father a notebook (Dell E1505) I believe I will be fixing many things. Anyway, this computer uses the built-in wireless card, so the network card for a hardline will go unused. There will be a day when it actually is used but that is...

Now the uninstall begins. Someone get a timer out, I first powered up 10 minutes ago. Specs on the laptop since I have time while I do Windows Updates. Dell Inspiron E1505 Intel Core Duo 1.6 60GB HDD DVD/CD RW (Dual layer) 512MB RAM (on one stick) 15" Widescreen with True Life Free...

In the past few days (don't remember it happening on Friday) I have notived many pictures are not loading. I have an example but it is not 56K friendly because there are almost 100 pictures. LINK HERE None of the pictures load for me. The standard NASIOC forum layout loads fine though...

I have noticed that occasionally there are threads that have 4 or 5 stars (actually I have never seen a 1, 2, or 3 star thread). I understand we can vote for a thread, but how many votes are needed for it to be "rated" It seems that if I vote nothing matters, then I come back a week later and...

Well I am pretty sure it is the PSU. It started a few days ago, restarted the Comp and when Windows came back the screen had a bunch of artifacts. I restarted believing it was my Video Card overheating and it was fine again. Yesterday I went out and when I came home it was off. I hit the power...

Basically I know nothing about Digital Cameras. I would want an SLR but can afford a point and click. But its for my girlfriend so the price, somehow, goes higher then what I would spend on myself. What I want: Great picture quality. I do know that a great lens will deliver more in terms of...

In the last few months I have noticed 2 or 3 of the other forums I frequent start using IntelliTXT linkage. For those of you not in the know (neither was I 5 mins ago) this is the IntelliTXT website. They are the wonderful company who fills you normal paragraph with hotlinked words and pop-ups...

Right now I am transfering 14gigs to my Xbox Media Center (backed up movies, nothing illegal) and searching here seems uneffected. I know that my Xbox only can recieve at 100mbs, but my NIC and my Router (D-Link Gaming Router) are both Gigabit. But I am only getting 50mbs through CuteFTP...

I have the MX Cordless Duo and I think its time to go wired. I think I am going to get the MX518 (for the 2 side buttons) and don't feel like spending money on a new keyboard. Anyone have any recommendations on a cheap keyboard? That is gamer friendly. Gamer friendly = doesn't have keys...

From the Front Page... The Article Printer Friendly Version Please read it all if your going to post your opinon. This is truly a hilarious article and worth reading. It seems to me that it is written by a some-what well read 15 year old white kid from the Suburbs. But it is...

Okay I am not sure how to put this exactly. I am getting good preformance from my card in Quake 4 and I did the config chages to make it run at 1680x1050 to fit my Dell 2005fpw. My question is what is the next resolution down from 1680x1050 that will keep everything in proper scale? I just...

I had a long trip this weekend (4 hours each way) for a wedding so on Thursday night I bought this at the Apple Store. I am not a great writer so I will just say how it does in real world use. I got this over the Belkin and the other models because its black and I am shallow. It matchs my...

Anyone have a dead AMD (A64 would be best) or Intel (p4 only) CPU they want to sell for really cheap? I would like one with all the pins, but other cosemtic problems don't bother me. The faster the better. As stated above I'm looking for a "Really Cheap" deal. Heat under ninethreeeleven. I...

I just went in the Ati Video Card Section to get the newest drivers (well to see what they were, becuase I forget) and the Stickey is gone? Is there a reason, or can you guys put that back? That is the only thing to remind me to get the newest drivers. Thanks

I want to do a reinstall of Windows, I just remembered that I have downloaded (from Steam) Day of Defeat. How do I save the game files so that I can either: 1. Download it again for free (since I already paid) 2. Put it on my hard drive from a disk Right now I am making a DVD to put all...

I love this game. Bike Park I think my high score is aroun 10000. You can get bonus points for combining tricks and twists. Do a tailwhip + 360 and its like 3,300 points.

Well with the recent news of Intel and Microsoft coming out and backing HD-DVD I think the debate has to start. For those not fimiliar with the basics I will list them. Size: Somewhere around 50GBs (dual layer) for Blu-Ray Somewhere around 30GBs (dual layer) for HD-DVD Media: The...

Okay I was screwing around with my font and no some stuff looks wierd. Could someone please go into (in FireFox) Tool/Options/General/Fonts&Colors and tell me the defaults for Proprtional (and its size) Serif Sans-serif Monospace (and its size) Thanks in advance. There should be a...

I get alot of shit from the lawyers in my office and the secretaries about how barren my office walls are. It's true, they're this ugly yellow color with a bunch of screws from when artwork was previously hung. I am looking for some framed posters or prints of computer and technology related...

I ordered an iPod and have been looking at buds for a while so now its time to put the order in. I have looked at Shure E3 and E2 and Etymotic ER6 but can't decide. I have no where to turn to in my area to give either pair a listen, so I guess I have to go with user reviews. What I am...

Well I put my order in for a new iPod today, after getting my results back from his "Engrave My iPod" Poll. I went to the education store, and typed in my school, SUNY Albany, which I graduated from 3 years ago. Figuring the worst they could do was ask me for a ID card (which I still have) I...

Thats the jist. Just got it last night from thier site, latest released build. Now I personally have never used Ubuntu. I have used RedHat, SuSE, DSL, Lindows and Linspire and a few others but mostly whatever my then college roommate would give me to try out. I am shocked at how well...

Are there any driver issues here? Or should I go ahead and get it and just play away. Any issues with the normal iPod? Or is that using pretty much the same drivers? NOTE: I HAVE XP x64, I do not have an iPod, I want to know if I am going to be able to use it with XPx64?

Well, this time of year brings many things with it... fall, hurricanes, high oil prices, and fathers across the county dropping off thier little darlings right at your doorstep. It is college time. For those of you going back to school I found a site that has a bunch of $6 posters, and...

Background: My office has 1000 envelopes with a our return address printed on them. We have 5000 blank envelopes that go unused. Being that we are about to run out I want to make Word automatically put our return address on as well as (the hard part) do it in the font Garmond in Smallcaps...

What cases are there out there with the PSU on the bottom or the side panel on the right side? What I mean are cases like the Lian-Li PC-V1000. I am just wondering because I really like this layout, but can't really justify the cost of those.

Anyone out there have thier setup on both XP Pro and XP Pro x64? I built my comp and x64 was my first OS, so I can't tell how I would do other wise. I have a AMD A64 3700+ (754) oced to 2.58 (stock it 2.4) I cannot go over 2.6 or it will crash at the Windows splash screen (load screen) But I...

Can some mod or admin give me a breif overview of thier duties here? I am just wondering what the difference is. Purely out of curiosity. And what are your powers. Sometimes I see Admins post in threads that are bound to be locked but then a Moderator comes in and actually does the locking.

Well we all know that BestBuy has huge markups on network cables, but if your in a bind this is how you go there and get Cat 5 (at least 20 feet, probably 25' but I don't have a long enough ruler) for $14.99. Geek Squad 25' 27.99 (its Cat 6) but BB doesn't sell any Cat 5 and $27 is too much...

Is this possible without a KVM? Speakers are Klipsch Pro Media 2.1, computers will both be using onboard sound, although I dont think that should matter. This is about getting same sound qualtiy but not having to have 2 sets of speakers. And I dont want a KVM (with audio) switch as I cant...

I can purchase the Upgrade for much cheaper than the retail and get more flexibility between systems than the OEM. As I understand it the Upgrade is the same as retail but you need to prove you had Windows before. Can I "upgrade" to XP Pro from Win 95 (good disk) or Win 98 (some scratches)...

I just found this game sitting at my old computer desk, along with Half Life, HL: BlueShift, HL: Opposing Force, and another from the C&C series. I stopped playing this because my computer (old Dell Comp) was limiting the game. It was a dell with onboard video, for onboard it played the game...

I just noticed this and thought it was different from times gone by. Have the Sub Forum Header links always become yellow when you hover? I say sub forums headers because I don't know what to call them. I am talking about the links for [H]ard|Forums Information, [H]ard|Ware, Bits & Bytes...

Well I had a nice paragraph or two about this but fogot to hit submit and now its gone. Short story. Cousin wants this, avid Armstrong fan and does basic read/write/surf/burn tasks. No games, no benchmarking and nothing really intensive. Is there a ton of mark up here? Specs seem good...

Heres the short story. My fathers Dell is going nuts, it might be drivers, it might be codecs it might be viruses but it will not stay on for more than 5 mins outside of Safe Mode. The problem is that he can't find the Windows disk. :rolleyes: Dell currently doesn't give you a disk...

Okay I have the new FF64 running (using it now) and it works well. I dont see much in terms of a speed increase in sites overall, but on this site its much quicker. Let me explain my observances. I notice that it likes to load text first, which is great on this site, but on other sites it...

My father has a Dell Dimension 4500, starting last Friday it started shutting down randomly. No warning just powering off. It would do this under hardly any stress, we were just typing in the security code for the wireless adapter, which is externally powered so thats not an issue. The only...

I saved a bunch of my files from my BF2 directory on my flash drive before I reinstalled Windows for unrelated reasons. Now I cant remember where they go. And I really dont feel like reprograming all the controls with their shitty setup. I use almost none of the default controls and I am not...
