i don't know about that guide. since when is maxell dvd media top class? i use my own personal guide: get a good burner like the benq 1655 or 1640 and feed it 8x Taiyo Yuden premium dvd media. verbatim is good for some people but i say why settle for second best? 8x -r and +rTY is king.

i reinstalled windows and it still happens. i even used windows xp pro instead of just plain xp and it made no difference.

i was afraid that would be the answer. thanks.

I have this wierd problem that I thought only occured when overclocked. Today it happen at stock speed. If I run my computer for a couple days straight 24 hours a day, the second core stops working in multithreaded apps. I never thought to run Orthos when I discovered this was happening...

nevermind. i figured out i had to enable view hidden files and folders to find the application data/mozilla/firefox folder. even after I deleted this and reinstalled it I still retained the bookmarks and passwords saved so I guess this wasn't the profile folder. doesn't matter cuz now...

Suddenly web pages have been loading slowly for the last couple days. I've run different spyware and virus programs with nothing coming up. So I think my firefox needs to be reinstalled from scratch. Bittorrent speeds are as fast as usual so I don't see what else it could be. I even...

well, i can't do that if i can't login to windows. i tried the two programs i mentioned and after I rebooted and tried the new password it still wouldn't let me login. i give up. i think i have to start over with a fresh install. sux.

i'm gonna try winternals erd commander and then dreampackpl. one of them should work. i have all important stuff backed up on another pc. i'm guessing the antivirus deleted an important file that was infected and it wiped out my password. i just wish I could find some instructions on how to...

I have a major problem. I dowloaded something with lots of viruses so I've ran Kapersky's overnight. Today, to be sure it was gone I rebooted into safe mode so I could run it again along with smitfraudfix. I used the msconfig cuz f8 doesn't work. Now I can't log on to my computer or get back...

i had a 3700+ san diego and a 1900xtx with 2 gigs of ram. guess what? i still had lag sometimes in new games @1600x1200 with eye candy on max. i returned the video card to compusa and sold the rest on ebay. i now have a core2duo 6600, 2gb ram, and x1950xtx and no more lag even though I'm...

is there a way to turn this dam overdrive off in the ccc? i click on the padlock and it doesn't close. it remains unlocked and I can't figure out how to make it run at the old default settings. i actually get worse than stock results with this overdrive and I gotta shut it off somehow without...

i have an antec p180 case and I leave the sidepanel open. Company of Heroes with everything on max. gives me a min. fps of 19 @1600x1200 res. I wouldn't mind bumping it up to 25-30 without messing with the eye candy. How much of an OC is safe without risking damage to my card? I downloaded...

yay! it worked.

thanks for the detailed instructions. funny thing is I haven't experienced any problems so far except one which probably isn't related. I played Prey for about an hour to break in my video card and it looks fantastic. Although, the game froze while loading into the main menu when I started...

it seems to work fine. i assume it's normal for the pc to say new hardware found every time i reboot until the official drivers come out. thanks so much.
