    Roccat Kone XTD issue

    Heard back from Roccat support. They report that it's a hardware issue, not software correctable. They will replace the mouse for me, which is a good thing. Cheers:D

    Roccat Kone XTD issue

    Just got the Roccat last week and so far I really do like it. Somehow, someway, I managed to change something I can't seem to get back. The mouse scroll wheel no longer scrolls by turning it. It used to sort of click or step turn but now is just smooth turning. Doesn't scroll at all in pages...

    New system....no video....why?

    There is onboard video support with VGA/DVI/HDMI connections. Using these doesn't seem to make any difference, still no monitor activity. I've also cleared CMOS. Mobo doesn't seem to have LED dx capability that I can find in docs or see onboard. If I removed all of the devices off of the...

    PNY USB stick not being recognized

    It's a new PNY 64gb Attache drive. My win7 box wouldn't recognize it from the gitgo. There is a 'connection' sound and I do see it listed in device manager as well as in disk management, but I cannot access it, nor format it. I cannot assign it a drive letter in disk management. I get...

    Video card in standby mode

    Yes. The way it's behaved, working some of the time, would suggest that it perhaps is a connection issue. I know I've plugged/unplugged all that I could. Something I should probably try is stripping everything out except the bare minimum required to boot, even pulling mem sticks.
