    DELPHI SKYFi XM Radio $44.97 AR and FREE first month + FREE activation.

    Just to add a little more confusion. I went to a different Best Buy last night and managed to get the price adjusted on the home adapter I bought Saturday by using my original $50 email coupon. Just for fun, I went over to the car audio area and asked the sales guy if there was some sort of a...

    DELPHI SKYFi XM Radio $44.97 AR and FREE first month + FREE activation.

    I bought the three piece package at Best Buy last night but I had some trouble getting the coupons applied to both adapters. Their system would only allow two coupons to be used. So today, just to check, I sent myself another XM e-coupon and -- SURPRISE -- for the Delphi, it now only lists...

    A video capture issue - PLEASE help.

    Is this just occuring in the capture window or does your captured file also look chopped? There are a lot of switches to set for preview and it depends on the application. What do you use to capture? If you have a PAL syustem you might have something set for NTSC the you haven't seen yet. You...

    UNINSTALL Via 4.25?

    4 in 1 seems to have dorked my system too. I get lots of crashes, hard lockups and video dropouts in ME. I finally just gave up and quit using the damn thing. ABIT KA7 with Classic Athlon 700. I'm too disgusted to go through a complete reinstall.

    SB Live! and stereo hookup questions

    That's because the digital out is "digital" and has to go to a "digital" input where it would be decoded. You can destroy your amplifier or speakers by feeding it that digital signal as it is pretty damn hot. Your stereo is probably "analog" unless you have a Dolby...

    Unstable KA7

    I thought I "Had to have" the gart drivers to get the ATI to run. It was locking under 98se too. The video dropout is a new thing. I'm wondering if I am having a thermal cutout -- maybe the processor. The heat sensor is on the heatsink --but if the contact was poor the chip might...

    Unstable KA7

    My KA7 is giving me fits. It's got a 700 classic Athlon, 256 meg of Infineon (2 128 sticks), a yamaha 8/8/24 burner and an ATI rage fury pro. The OS is win ME. Not overclocked or tweaked at all. Box stock. Most Bios is set at defaults. It was just locking up and seemed to be related to changing...
