    Switching Hard Disks

    Switching Hard Disks

    When I first made this build 2 years ago, I figured I would never need more than 160gb (my emachines only had 60gb and I had only used 30 :P). Turns out I'm wrong. With only 13gb left on this HDD, it is definately time for some more space. I have my eyes set on a 500gb Seagate drive at Compusa...

    DVI-I to DVI-D

    I just got my DVI cable. Boy was I excited. Till I realized that I got the wrong one. I ended up getting a DVI-I to DVI-I cable and I cant connect it to my DVI-D monitor connection. I am too lazy to wait 2 weeks for newegg to exchange a $5 product. Could I simply remove the extra pins manually?

    Ubuntu on Virtualbox

    Well I got it working in 32 bit yesterday. I deleted after a couple hours of trying to install the display drivers and trying to get the sound working. Really frustrating. I might give it another go though.

    Problem with vista thumbnails

    Lately, I've noticed that whenever a window is minimized, the thumbnails are static instead of realtime. If I don't minimize a window and instead put another over it, the thumbnail is still live. Its once I minimize a window that its thumbnail becomes static. The only program that I've seen as...

    Network and Sharing Center after SP1

    Ever since installing Vista SP1, I've been getting some errors in Vista. First off, once I log on, I usually get a 'stopped working' error for com+. That is just annoying at worst. But whenever I try to go into the Network and Sharing Center, I get nonstop 'stopped working errors' and I cant do...

    Cant decompress core files

    A couple months back, I compressed my whole hard driver (stupid i know :P). A month or so later, I decompressed my hdd again. I thought that was the end of the story. But recently, I noticed some compressed files in the Windows directory. I tried decompressing them but I got an error telling me...

    My PSU and the 260gtx

    i know, but if my whole issue is due to the probability that EVGA put little arctic on my card, i say its worth it. I can just picture how great air would flow from my fancard, to the accelero, to my 8800gt though....sweet.
