My wife would like to chat with family in India, has what I think is a good webcam (Philips 900NC) but her desktop PC is only an e-Machine with an Intel Celeron D Processor 330 which, despite having 768 kbps DSL, is way below what Skype recommends for video calls (CoreDuo only, apparently). Her...

Anybody...?

I have a few DVDs without subtitles that I'd like to modify - that is burn downloaded subtitle files into them. For example, the Merchant of Venice with Al Pacino (not to sound like an idiot but Shakespeare without subtitles can be a bit taxing) is a dvd someone gave me, which I ripped to my...

Thanks for the info...guess I should just install the Catalyst Control Center. BTW, do you know if the Catalyst Control Center would let me know if the card got too hot? I assumed that it would, but I actually don't know for sure..

Although I don't have a problem with my card overheating YET, I wanted to know if the standard ATI Display Driver - NOT the Catalyst Control Center - will inform me if my card gets too hot while gaming. I don't use the Catalyst Control Center because upon startup it conflicts with a...

Anybody...?

I was using ATITool for my x1900 XTX for about a year now, basically just to raise the fan speed whenever card got too hot, above 80 degrees F. But I started to experience performance glitches with the Cat. 7 series which, I recently, discovered, disappeared completely when I uninstalled...

Good to know, guess I'll just stick with my x1900xtx for now, see if a system format will take care of these issues....thanks a lot:)

I've been experiencing a lot of glitchiness with ATI's most recent drivers and was wondering what the Nvidia equivalent would be, maybe give them a try for the first time in several years. Thanks!

Gotcha, will do that as soon as I get home...thanks a lot:)

Sorry for being such a noobie moron but I thought Intel CPU chipsets were part of the operating system...? Or something that would be among MS Windows updates...?

I recently did a complete format and restore of my 4 year-old pc (been about a year and a half since I did it last) and for some reason certain games, Call of Duty 2 (not Call of Duty 1 but the expansion pack for it - United Offensive - also takes ridiculously long, each level almost three...

Tried FolderGuard, but was annoyed at how, once a locked folder was accessed, it stayed accessible until computer was restarted. Tried a few others but they didn't seem to work at all. Working from home, need certain folders with financial data to auto lock, and to always require a password...

Thanks, that makes total sense actually; since I was talking about commercial music, I'll stop wasting time looking...

I've run through several standalone apps as well as plug-ins for WMP and Winamp - and NONE of them actually remove vocals, although most do remove some other higher-pitched sounds.... Anyone know of an app or plug-in that actually CAN remove vocals? Thanks in advance:)
