    Dual External Monitors on Laptop

    I've currently got a Dell 9300 that with GeForce 6800. This card has 2 video ports but only supports a total of 2 monitors (but my goal is to get it to support the laptop screen and 2 external monitors). Is it true that the GeForce 6800 Ultra will support 3 total monitors, 2 external...

    Computer randomly shutting down

    For nearly a year now, my custom p4 3.2 has been shutting down randomly and often makes a strange noise from the case (I believe it's the motherboard fan making the noise). I figured the problem was overheating so I checked all the temperatures and some were as high as 79C. I then replaced...

    AIM Text Highlighting Problem

    Sometimes when I highlight text to copy, I can't break the highlight at the point I want to, and have to highlight additional lines in order to break it.

    AIM Text Highlighting Problem

    Whenever there is a significant amount of text or a link in an AIM profile, when I begin to highlight any text, the entire profile will scroll down, not letting me highlight the desired text. Also, when I try to click on a link, often only the first few characters of it are clickable! Any...

    Intellimouse Explorer Sensitivity Problem

    I've already turned off precision and am using the CPL Mouse Fix to take away all acceleration. I like having a low sensitivity for long range shooting, but maybe this increase is just my imagination?

    Intellimouse Explorer Sensitivity Problem

    Hello, I'm running Windows XP with default drivers at 1600x1200 with a refresh rate of 85hz. I know refresh rate, Windows sensitivity, and acceleration should be the only factors affecting mouse speed. After joining a Counter-Strike game (this is when I first noticed and is not necessarily...

    No Constant 100 FPS

    The FPS drops whenever other people or shooting starts on the screen, but is constant at 100 if I look into a wall. This WAS working with my same configuration a few weeks ago. I reformatted after it stopped working to see if it was a virus or something like that, but no luck. I tried...

    No Constant 100 FPS

    In Counter-Strike, I was able to get a constant 100 FPS on my Sony monitor but can only get 100 FPS on my temporary KDS monitor when there is no action. Does this have anything to do with the monitor (the Sony is higher end and supports well over 100 FPS at the given resolution, but 100 is the...

    Outlook in Same Window

    Before I reformatted last week, I had an Outlook shortcut in my quick launch that always opened the same Outlook window (I could open it one time, then click on it again to restore the window, not open another instance of it). However, now, it opens a new instance every time. Anyone know how...

    Choppiness in Counter-Strike

    I'm thinking there may be some network issues at this college?

    Choppiness in Counter-Strike

    That doesn't seem to work either. I was thinking -- could this be some sort of latency issue (I'm currently at a college for the summer), like it has lag spikes every now and then? I say this because last night, I was in a server where I was getting terrible ping, and it seemed the same way.

    Choppiness in Counter-Strike

    I can try that, but I know my rate wasn't that high before and it worked. Is this possibly a monitor issue?
