Thanks. I see that on my laptop. Will try it on the new desktop when I get home.

I have recently put together a new system. The left front speaker in the Z-2300 2.1 set is audibly louder than the right. When I switch the hookups, it's the right speaker. So the problem is not with the front speakers. I suspect it's in the subwoofer (I assume there is some kind of processor...

I am trying to install the Sapphire Theatrix 550. Have tried from the CD and latest driver from ATI. Part way through the install, wityh an ATI image filling the screen, the system freezes. When shut down and reboot, the card is not installed and furthermore, the NEC DVD driver is corrupted, and...
