I didn't realise you did your message frequently e-punk, evidently I rejoined 10 years ago as well when the "new" forum was up (taken from a reaction in your profile: " Dublex 27 Jul 2009 Love the new look of the forum. Thought I would rejoin after the email you sent, and put a sub down to...

Thought I would post here e-punk as I saw your message and thought I would drop by, especially in light of the recent news. I remember this site way way back when it was xp-erience (and possibly before that, my memory is a bit fuzzy) but it's been what? at least 10 or so years since my last...

Hello All, I've just recently got a strange problem in Windows 7, It reports the downloading speed is far lower than it is in reality - so I end up say in firefox with it saying its downloading at 100kbs a sec but it gets half way through the download then completes (and properly as well, as...

The question is pretty much in the title, but does anyone know if this will be possible without having to wipe the Win 7 Ult. Partition I already have? Would be useful to do to keep the apps / data.

Just saw this tool on a what looks like an italian website, it adjusts various reg settings like kill services timeouts and quickly disables things like Remote Registry Access and UAC. Its pretty basic, but useful if your a power tweaker and really want to get a quicker response time from...

OK, I have the following situation Currently I have networked through a BT homehub my old XP rig and my new Windows 7 rig. I can connect to the windows 7 rig through my XP rig, but not vice versa. What I have tried doing Making sure that both computers are in the same workgroup Giving the...

Has anyone else having a problem with the Realtek Drivers sporodically redecting the black jack port (rear quad speakers?) - its plugged in fully etc, its just annoying to have the what have you got plugged into the black jack dialogue box continuiously come up. I'll probably see if a vista or...

I just inherited this, upgraded the graphics card and put windows 7 on it, and it got 5.9 on the WEI score which I am happy with: Asus P5K Premium board Processor Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66 Ghz Memory: 4Gb Hard Drive: 750GB SATA II Optical Drive: CD/DVD Rewriter Graphics: PCI-E 2.0 Sapphire 1GB HD...

Greetings everyone, its been a long time :dead: I'm going to inherit my dads multimedia PC. Its a decent enough spec, Intel Dual Core 2.4Ghz or 2.6Ghz, 3GB RAM, Vista Home Premium 32bit (shame, but we can't all be winners - not a fan of Vitsa) and some silent running vid card that my dad got...

Hello everyone, First of all, I've been away for a little while, distracted partly by the wonderful world of IT and Parliament and by other life issues. But onto the point - this may sounds like a daft question, but do USB 2.0 8 port external hubs use up more power than USB 2.0 4 port hubs...

I'm thinking of doing a last grahpics card upgrade before I buy a new PC from a AGP ATI 1300XT to a ATI 1950XT or similar model, however, before I go ahead I thought I would check out other factors with the rest of you folks to see if its worth doing. Firstly, does anyone know if the jump from...

Not sure if this has been posted already, but here we go.. its just so funny that it was hard to pass up: The Husband Store: A store that sells new husbands has just opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of...

Anyone else looking forward to this - I upgraded my graphics card to an ATI XT 1300 just so that I can hopefully play it on my lowish rig. If its anywhere good as System Shock 2 was it should be great, and the moral stuff should be good as well - I always enjoy games that have you dealing with...

OK everyone, I suspended this decision when I got NwN 2 as it did support my old ATI FX5600XT ATI card, but as it looks like I'm not going to be able to play Alan Wake when the requirement moves up to PS3 minimum, which already is the case with SCDA, this leaves me with the following question...

Just a heads up if your thinking of buying this - it seems as though alot of systems are suffering from the following error when you try and install the game from the disc: the error 1330.A file that is required cannot be installed becuase the cabinet file E:\Defaul~1.cab has an invalid...

Is that more or less dangerous than 666? :laugh:

Is there anyone else here who is a field engineer who thinks that Dell's workgroup / general printer quality is crap, at least compared to HP? We used HP as a supplier until a year ago, and yes, we did have problems with NIC cards blowing etc. But we never really had problems with the general...

I was wondering if there are any plans to introduce a regular or frequent rank at 500+ posts before the elite rank at 1000+ posts. No, I'm not trying to create a 3 tiered ranking system so you could do Monty Python like "class" jokes (I look down on the user rank, but up on the Elite rank) -...
