    Is there a multiple remote desktop application?

    I use Network Monitor for Employees Professional. Check it out.

    Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2

    I've had pretty good luck with it so far -- much better than Beta 1, which I uninstalled after only 1 day.

    Video Editing App

    For someone a bit too budget-conscious for Adobe products, and doesn't have the time or desire to take classes in their often user-unfriendly apps, I like the Ulead Video Studio app. But you didn't say what kind of vids you were making. For avi, you can use a freeware app called virtualdub (or...

    Temperature monitor

    If you have an Athlon processor, I would recommend a small free app called VCool. It will both cool your cpu and allow you to monitor both your cpu temp, system temp and fan speeds. I use it on all computers with Athlon processors and it is a real gem.

    Undecodable movie

    As far as the vbr avi goes, that sounds like the audio encoding, which is common for lame mp3 encoding. You can get around that by using Nandub instead of Vdub. However, the corrupt data is probably an insurrmountable problem. I would try avipreview and see if you can open it in that. If...

    CPU Cooling Software is it a Myth??

    It's possible that VCool will not support your chipset under any circumstances, which would be truly unfortunate. However, version 2.0a is pretty effective on mobos not supported by 1.8b. You need to experiment with setting either the cool bit or halt detect to see which gives you cooling...

    CPU Cooling Software is it a Myth??

    In order for VCool to work on most computers, you need to enable the idle loop and set the cool bit. Here is a screenshot of my settings. Note the temps and fan speeds in the on-screen display. I consider that a pretty cool operating temp. Good luck.

    CPU Cooling Software is it a Myth??

    I use a program called VCool. It is only for Athlon cpu's. It works with Via and Nforce2 chipsets. It is GREAT!!! It cools my cpu (Athlon 2600) from about 42C to about 32C on a KT400 board and from about 52C to about 38C on a KT600 board. I do a lot of video encoding which really heats up...

    dvd to vcd or svcd

    I am an avid DVD ripper. I rip about 3 DVDs per week. I swear by DVD2SVCD using the CCE SP 2.50 encoder. If you set the amount of time per CD you want and the size of the CD, it will automatically calculate the bitrate to make it fit on the number of CDs you select. I can fit a 2 hr 20 min...

    DVD drive disappeared!

    sounds like a driver problem to me. either wrong driver got installed or a driver conflict. I'm curious to know what software it was and what the message is for the drives with the question marks in hardware device manager. System restore might work. Also, uninstalling the software. Lastly...

    Wolfenstein ET

    I must be a real ET junkie - I usually get between 800-1200 xp for a 6-map campaign. The key is to work your way up in a category and then move to a new category. Medic is the easiest way to start building up xp and reach rank of lieutenant. My favorite is field ops because my reflexes are...

    Wolfenstein ET

    I really like this game because you get promoted to higher rank with more goodies the longer and better you play. I play regularly at the earthquake gaming servers and the McP server. I have tried servers that use custom maps and some of them are quite good. But this game does not start...
