    VGA to DVI...loss?

    I wasn't really thinking when I bought my graphics card 8 months ago now, but it has 1 DVI port and 1 VGA port. What I am thinking about is going dual screen. Is using a converter, VGA to DVI, totally pointless? Analog can't be up-converted to digital, can it? Will the (if there is) decrease...

    Desktop icons move

    I have these 8 desktop icons at the most bottom right corner of my screen. Whenever I log off then log back on, 4 of them that were in the top row have moved all the way to the top right corner of the screen. I don't know what is causing this, probably an awful Windows bug. If I turn off "align...

    Bum computer

    That's also a problem. The only other video cards I have are AGP, and my board is PCI-E. I'm just going to go ahead and RMA it.

    Bum computer

    That's a problem also, I don't ever remember my mobo beeping when it should have. I found it strange. Do all mobo's have err...speakers? beepers? Anyway, I have yet to turn on my comp after I turned it off two days or so ago. Will post when I do.

    Bum computer

    Ok. So I was playing a game, then my computer crashes. The first thing that happened was my monitor went blank, as if it were switching resolutions (I have a CRT) and then it said there was no input signal. I said to myself, "just a glitch" and hit the reset button on my computer. But instead of...

    Sluggish response when using console/tuner

    I have an ATI TV tuner box for my PC, and recently hooked up my Xbox to it to play it on my monitor. When I started playing a game, the FPS called Halo 2, my controller response time was EXTREMELY delayed. This never happens on my TV, and I noticed this was the same problem I was experiencing...

    Changed icon, but doesn't change

    I have a program shortcut on my desk, and with a recent update for it it got a new icon. Now, the day I installed the update it displayed the new icon, but today it displays the old one. I tried changing it to the new one again, but it stays on the old one. Do I have to delete something in my...

    Wireless signal drop out

    I have been having this problem for quite some time now. I am running my computer on a wireless connection, and every few hours or so, it will lose the connection for a second and then reconnect. At first I thought it was my wireless device. So i returned it and went back to using my other one...

    Router problems & Ventrilo

    I did try updating the firmware, once a long time ago, and recently when I reset. I do not think it works, since the date of the firmware does not change to the later one. Version numbers are still the same. I recently tried an older version of the Ventrilo server, 2.1.2, which works without a...

    Router problems & Ventrilo

    For the past month or so, I have been trying to run a Ventrilo VoIP server on a computer I hardly use. I have a router, so I have to forward ports for everything (of course). Recently I had reset my router to factory because I couldn't get into it via web browser. Then I added the port I needed...

    Computer boots BY ITSELF

    That's exactly what it was set on. I turned it off now. Thanks! I also turned off WakeOnLAN on my other port, but that one wasn't a problem.

    [Solved] Ethernet port...but wireless

    Well thanks for the sarcastic remark, but I already knew that. And no, that's not what I'm looking for. But I solved this problem already on my own terms.

    Samsung drives don't burn .CUE's?

    I have tried two trusted .CUE sheet burning programs with my drives, and none of them pick them up. One of the drives I have in this rig now used to be in my old one, and programs on there didn't pick it up either; they did pick up however, the second drive in there that was made by a different...

    Router not accessible

    Somehow, it just magically fixed itself now. Even so, I am fed up with my router, and would like to buy a new one that i can rely on 99% of the time. I was looking into LinkSys' WRT54G, made by the networking people themselves. Highly recommended?
