For quite awhile now I've been using Media Player Classic HC combined with CCCP codec pack. It works great, does everything I want. However, every once and awhile I run into a file that was just encoded wrong/funny that MPC HC doesn't play right, usually too fast, or no sound (rare, but it...

I'm thinking of upgrading my wife's laptop from Vista to Windows 7 and wanted to know if all the settings would be carried over? Most importantly she has remote access to her work computer, that I have no idea how to set up again, and want to make sure it would be carried over during the...

So I downloaded a movie recently in .mkv format, that had 2 audio tracks. The movie soundtrack in DTS 5.1, and a commentary track in AC3 2.0 When I try to play it in MPC (cccp is installed) the movie plays fine, but with the commentary track. I right clicked>audio>there's only the track listed...

I have an external hard drive hooked up through USB. When I first plugged it in (as with any USB device) Windows (in this case win7) installs the driver, and puts the Safely Remove Hardware Icon for when you want to remove it. But what if I never plan on removing it? Is there a way to get...

If I have 2 different size drives, 200GB+300GB, is there a way to combine them so they look like 1 big drive? I seem to remember reading somewhere awhile ago that you could, but they had to be identical drives, not sure if I'm remembering that right though. And if by chance 1 of them craps out...

A friend of mine was complaining that her desktop would randomly shut down, she thought it was a virus, I said I'd take a look at it for her. Did the usual scans, there were some viruses, and a lot of adware. Cleaned it all up with spybot, ad aware, malwarebytes, nod32 and ran ccleaner and...

For well over a year I've had my main PC that I use as my media server and store everything on it. I enabled sharing on the folders I want, mapped them as network drives on my other 2 PC's, and have been able to access them with my other desktop and my laptop (both connected wireless) through...

I'm building a new system before the end of the year, and I'm stuck on the RAM. What's the difference between brands. Even between the more reputable/recommended brands (Corsair, Crucial, OCZ) when timings are the same they can have $80+ in price difference, for what seems like the same thing...

Ever since installing Vista/Firefox 2.0, my Google personalized home page wont auto log-in when I start Firefox (worked fine with XP). The really weird part is that I can hit refresh or home, or open a second instance of Firefox, and it will log in every time. Its almost like its not reading...

I bought a second hard drive mainly for storage. Before, I had these media files on a (storage)partition of my main HDD, and since I've now moved over the larger files off the main HDD to the new HDD I'd be nice to have some extra room on my "games" partition. I know the Partition Magic will...

I wanna put a VHS tape onto DVD, through my computer. My video card has an composite input, but I was wondering what program to use. I assume there are different quality of MPEG 2 encoders, just wondering if there are any recommendations for a good encoder so I wont lose much quality, as well...

Yesterday after a reboot, my MSN Messenger account wont sign in on my desktop. My girlfriends will sign in no problem. I can sign in no problem on my laptop, and I can sign in to .net web sites. No error pops up or anything, it just keeps "signing in", left it for about 2 hours today, and...
