    standalone DVR for antenna input?

    This is for a situation in USA to pick up digital broadcast over the air using antenna then into DVR then out to digital-ready TV. Replacement for VCR. Would be nice if it also could accept standard digital cable input as well in case we move to that down the road. Twin tuners would be nice...

    IE7 script errors with Find

    I'm not positive, but i think this started a week ago when i upgraded my Norton A/V 2006 to Norton A/V 2008. IE7 in Windows XP Home SP2 ... was fine, then suddenly frequent errors when loading pages, and hitting Ctrl-F or choosing to Find from the Edit menu causes a looping script error...

    running 16 bit Windows app in XP - share.exe error

    thanks for the info .... i notice now that Virtual PC 7 is out and now free at MS ... i threw away the Win95 media for that machine a couple years ago, but have a copy of Win98 or ME lying around somewhere - i'm thinking that since both are pre-NT architecture hopefully the app would run in...

    running 16 bit Windows app in XP - share.exe error

    I mentioned avoiding VMWare in my first post thinking for sure there was a simple workaround to get file locking happening in the WOW system in XP. Having not purchased VMWare for this environment, if i get just the player, where do i get the Win95 image? I was under the impression you had to...

    running 16 bit Windows app in XP - share.exe error

    Nod, tried that, no luck, i think because the share.exe is only good for the that instance of the command shell it's run in, whereas my app is a 16 bit Windows (not a DOS) app, and doesn't run in that shell, even if invoked from there. Either that or just running share.exe doesn't do the job. In...

    running 16 bit Windows app in XP - share.exe error

    I have a 16-bit Windows app with a few .ddb database files and a handful of dll's that go with it. On my Windows 95 PC that i'm getting ready to retire (even tho it still runs fine) the program runs without a hitch as long as the dll's and db files are in the same directory with it. I do not...

    troubleshooting RAM upgrade problem

    Actually, i got a response from Kingston t.s. which gave me PSD timings that differ from the 3-3-3-8 that they have on their datasheet and product pages and that my BIOS and CPU-Z read from SPD. But their [non-published?] 2.5-3-3-8 did the trick and all 4 are posting at 400MHz and "Normal"...

    troubleshooting RAM upgrade problem

    I guess my main question now is how safe is it to try upping the voltage on the DIMMS from the auto SPD read of 2.5V to manual +0.2V = 2.7V to try to get all 4 to run at 400MHz (originally tried +0.1V = 2.6V with no luck)? The datasheet on the Kingston HyperX KHX3200AK2 chips says they're...

    troubleshooting RAM upgrade problem

    Breakthrough - i took the frequency down to 333 from 400 without changing anything else (voltage still at 2.5V) and now all 4 sticks are registering and system appears to be stable (haven't done anything rigorous yet). As far as changing T1 setting i'm not even sure where to look for that ...

    DVD/VCR recorder combo: Samsung vs Sony ?

    1. If this isn't the right place, where would be a good forum to get some qualified opinion on the pros and cons of the Samsung DVDVR320 versus the Sony RDRVX515 DVD/VCR Recorder Combo machines? There's about a roughly $125 price difference most places i've looked (Sony more expensive). 2...

    Video camera: Mini-DV or DVD?

    I just got a Canon 2R200 (using miniDV) for Christmas, and i'm just now getting around to trying to get the video uploaded to my PC. But, while the camcorder has a USB output, it seems to only be for uploading stills from the memory card, not video from the tape. It has a digital video...

    am i a victim of 6-bit color on LCD monitor (Samsung 930B)?

    Hmm, i see the Profiles under Desktop Management in the NVIDIA dialog ... Is that what you mean? I think i finally figured out what the problem was. Even though i initially dropped the brightness and gamma in the NVIDIA color correction settings, it was the reduced brightness there and NOT...
