    Looking for opinions on which LCD to buy...

    Hey all. I'm looking to place an order tomorrow here locally (Not ordering online) for a new monitor and I'm trying to grab the best one I can for under $700 Canadian. I've had several widescreen gaming monitors and the response time was just not good as they ghosted irritatingly in games...

    X-Fi Remote

    I got an X-Fi Fatal1ty and have the drivebay box with remote. The only program I can seem to use is the default one that shipped with the card and is absolutely terrible. I basically want to control Winamp and WinDVD & Stuff like that. Is there anything freeware or otherwise that's relatively...

    Audigy on 4.1 Speakers

    Allright. I got the Logitech 200 watt 4.1 Speakers. I hooked them up and turned on Winamp. It only plays out of the two front speakers. I sound tested my speakers and the back ones are hooked up and work just fine, but not in Winamp. Does Winamp only have 2.1 support? I want it coming out of...

    Windows Update problem

    This is strange. I've been able to install every Windows Update scessfully except the new (As of today) Microsoft Processor Driver Version 5.1.2600.28 It downloads fine, gets to the install bar, and kicks me back to the error page. There's no more info than that. "No Updates Were Installed...

    Audigy Problems

    Hey guys, thanks for reading this. Today for no reason, my Audigy (With latest drivers) started sounding like it was... Underwater? In a cave? I dunno. Sounds really funny though. I think somehow some EAX thing became enabled that I can't disable. I've rebooted and used new drivers about 3 times...

    I totally screwed up my system! HELP!

    Allright so I'm dumb. Failed overclocking experiment. I have an 700 mhz classic Athalon T-bird (the big fat ones) running on an ASUS K7V. I upped the cpu frequency from 100 to 130 and restarted the comp. Black screen. Nothing. Sometimes when I reboot I get two tones in succession in an...

    A few stupid problems

    Okay, first off I have an Intellimopuse Optical I bought specifically so I could use the two buttons on the side to go back and foreward on web pages. Now with the brand new drivers I got from the Windows Update site, the buttons stopped working. Without rolling back drivers or installing...

    Connection Sharing Question

    Okay, so we have 2 computers here at my friend's place. We have a net connection on one of them through a central hub. I was wondering how I can share it with XP. Not the normal "Go check the little Share Connection box" thing. It says there's only one connection. A LAN one to the hub which it...

    The Zer0

    Whoops, sorry. I guess I wasn't clear. They still are .mp3 files. The problem is that when I try to delete one or whatever it says "Are you sure you want to delete this system file?" That and they're hidden. I can't untick hidden because they're system files. I'll try the safe mode thing though...

    Virus!

    Okay, so my ex-roommate is an idiot and gave us a virus when he was here. To make a long story short, all my MP3's are listed as system files and are therefore hidden. I have the option to view them enabled, and I can see that they're system and hidden. How do I un system-ize them. I can't...

    A good warez/MP3 argument

    Okay, I've thought this for a while, but I just read an article on here and now I feel I must post. I'm reeeally tired, so if I bounce around, bear with me. Companies bitch all the time about people who download warez. Why? They say that it undercuts profits. Good call. Does it ever occur to...

    Damn viruses...

    My stupid, stupid roommate downloaded a file off KaZaa and game us both the LoveLetter virus. I reformatted after backing up my MP3's on his hard drive, then he did the same. My problem is that some of them have been somehow transformed into "system files." They're still MP3's, but they're now...

    Power Supplies

    Okay, I had another problem from before with my graphics card. Could it be caused by my power supply not giving enough juice to my system? It's on 115 right now, but I can switch to I think 225. Will it harm my comp or what?
