    Solution for switching between wireless headphones & soundbar?

    Finally got a chance to look at everything . . The audio cables are RCA cables. I don't see any other way to connect either the soundbar or headphones to the TV. The headphones charger (also the receiver) also has inputs for an RCA cable. The TV (An older Vizio 27 inch) has two inputs for...

    Solution for switching between wireless headphones & soundbar?

    I'm looking for help on something I could buy to handle the switching of audio output from my TV. I have a soundbar but sometimes I want to use wireless headphones. There doesn't seem to be a way of using both options without manually unplugging/plugging the cables in the back of the TV. Is...

    Office 2007 installs "successfully" but doesn't work?

    This is a work computer. I've never seen anything like this without error messages or anything in event viewer. It just "installs successfully" but there are no shortcuts on the desktop or anything. The only way to try and launch a program is to navigate to the .exe files in Explorer or open...

    Do you lose OnDemand if you switch to Windows Media Center?

    Thanks for the help. I guess the cable box is staying. WMC's channel guide is so much more slick though. I wish there was a way to have it all!

    Do you lose OnDemand if you switch to Windows Media Center?

    So I want to set up a good HTPC that will connect to my digital cable box and get all the channels in WMC. It seems pretty straight-forward but I'm wondering what will happen to the interactive stuff like OnDemand? Would I still get the OnDemand "channel" and be able to view everything or...

    Why is L4D2 lagging on my new HD6870?

    Well the 60fps from yesterday seems to have vanished and now in some levels I'm getting 40-50. WTF?? How could that even be? Does my GPU just have 'off' days or something? Damn this thing is starting to annoy me. Maybe it just isn't as good as I imagined.

    Why is L4D2 lagging on my new HD6870?

    Nope, hooked up through DVI. I'm at a loss. Guess I'll just try another monitor tonight.

    Why is L4D2 lagging on my new HD6870?

    Just put on the FPS through the console during gameplay, and fps does not seem to drop past 60 . . maybe 59 here and there. Even during times where it seemed a bit choppy, it remains at/around 60. WTH? Could this be a monitor issue or something?

    Why is L4D2 lagging on my new HD6870?

    My PSU: Antec NEO ECO 620C 620W Continuous Power ATX12V v2.3 / EPS12V 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817371031

    Why is L4D2 lagging on my new HD6870?

    Its just a single GPU. Nothing is overclocked on my entire system. I ran through one of those online PSU calculators and with all my components it recommends about a 400w PSU. I have 620w. I would rage if I have to buy a new PSU.

    Why is L4D2 lagging on my new HD6870?

    I uninstalled the previous drivers and installed Catalyst Software Suite Version 11.6. No other hardware changed. PSU is 620w. Is it normal for the card to be listed as HD6XXX?? I have a MAC OS install that sees it as an HD6870.

    Why is L4D2 lagging on my new HD6870?

    I just swapped out a 5830 for a 6870. The 5830 ran L4D2 perfectly at high settings. Now with this new 6870, I get this slight lag every once in a while. It doesn't effect the game much, but still, this makes no sense. Its almost like a sudden slight drop in fps. It mostly happens when things...

    Renesas USB 3.0 Driver "Device Cannot Start"

    Windows 7 Pro 64, Asus p8p67, i5 Sandy Bridge I've tried everything from deleting and re-installing the drivers to going into the Renesas program and disabling the power-save feature. USB 3.0 is already set to 'on' in bios. For some reason, this yellow exclamation point is always on in Device...

    Question about SSDs/HDDs

    Thanks! I got it in my head that there'd be some kind of speed issue with the files loading through Windows on a separate drive.

    Question about SSDs/HDDs

    I've got an 80gb SSD and a 1tb HDD. I'm gonna be running a bunch of stuff off the HDD because of space limitations. Will the programs run slower than they would off a standard HDD with Windows and the programs installed on the same drive?
