    Can not create DirectShow Player

    Just recently I've started getting this error. I can download the vid and it will play, but not view it in Firefox anymore. It seems to have started after I installed Microsoft.NET Framework. In IE it works. In 'about: plugins' everything appears OK. XP Pro, media Player 8 w/ WMP 9 encoder...

    Westell 2200 and IP passthrough

    Picked up a Bellsouth Westell 2200 to use with my SBC account. All is good and it now handles the PPPoe instead of XP as was the case with my twitchy Speedstream, plus it also has NAT/router capabilities. With Zone Alarm off for testing, I'm now stealthed at all the port checking sites. The...

    Mozilla/Firebird and plain text

    In either Yahoo mail or Excite mail I can only compose in plain text. The fancy/HTML option is not available as it is with IE. Am I missing something or is that just the way it is. Thanks

    problem after Windows update, I think

    Well my computer started to take a very long time to open a program after update KB828028 (I think). Clicking on a desktop icon, or 'open' when right clicking. I uninstalled the update and used System Restore to get to previous day. Still way slow. Virus checked (on-line also), ran...

    Digital Vibrance Control not available

    I've got a Leadtek 280LE , TI4200. For some reason I can't get a color adjustment/Digital Vibrance Control to show. A friend has been raving about how Digital Vibrance Control has made his stuff look so much better. At first I thought it was the Leadtek utilities and drivers, so I...

    Odd behavior with Mozilla

    Figured I'd take the plunge and give Mozilla 1.2.1 a whirl. Seems very nice, the pop-up stopping works well, and some pages seem to look a little nicer. One thing though, when closing it, or closing an open window, I get a burst of noisy disk activity (not a very pleasant sound, as I normally...

    Omega NVIDIA and ATI drivers

    Folks might want to try these pre-tweaked drivers, I've been using his 1182's (which I think are 30.82 based) with my GF2 GTS and am very pleased with the look (I used his quality setting). He also offers a few tweaks/tips. http://www.omegacorner.com/

    IE 6 now opens links smaller windows

    Seems like since I installed the latest MS IE6 patch (yesterday), that when I click on a link here or elsewere it doesn't open in a full window anymore. Very annoying to have to maximise them every time. Running XPpro. Hope it's an easy one. Thanks

    Sun vs MS Java

    As most have done I installed Sun's Java, when XP decided not to. Since SP1 now includes MS's is there a good reason to not stay with Sun?
