    Question about pc game pads

    I got a Nyko airflo ex to play grand theft auto: San an for the pc, and it works pretty good for that game, manual aim is a bit tought though. I have found that this aiming problem is evident in Counter strike also, and battlefield 1942. For precision aiming, are gamepads just not sensitive...

    What is up with my Computer!?

    OK, I apologize for my noobishness, but I have had A LOT of trouble with my computer lately. Apparently, Sygate Personal Firewall started up with out me ever knowing it. There was no icon on the bottom right telling me it was on, and no pop-up came up asking whether I wanted BF 1942 or Soldat to...

    What is up with my Computer!?

    I cant connect to some games, but can with others. Is it possible that hardware is blocking my internet signal? Such as Diablo 2 will connect to servers, but battlefield 1942 and the downloadable game Soldat wont. I try them on my brothers laptop, and they work perfect. WTF? I just got...

    Selling my computer

    Damn, and after all of the repairs I have had to put into it. More than $500 getting it fixed multiple times. Thanks for your input, not sure if I'll sell it based on the little amount I'll get back.

    Internet incompatability problem

    I use Sygate Firewall, but I have turned it off once or twice because it was blocking my brother and my crossover cable connection. I have tried pinging routers that I no longer have and have gotten no packet loss. How would I ping a website? Also, it had been running fine for a week...

    Internet incompatability problem

    My ISP is Falcon WIreless. It is Radio-internet. A Dish picks up a radio signal from an antennae and automatically assigns it an IP, so there are no modems attached. From the dish a CAT5 cable runs into my house and ends in an RJ-45 male plug. That male plug plugs into a femal power adapter...
