    How do I match HD rotational speeds exactly?

    That's the problem...I have two identical drives, and the problem is intermittent...and a drive sync connector would be nice... any other ideas?

    How do I match HD rotational speeds exactly?

    From my physics classes I know that if there are two sound sources with very close frequencies, then you will hear a pulsation that is the exact difference of the two sources. In the case of my two hard drives, the rotational speed is specified to be 10000 RPM. If that is the case, there should...

    PowerColor Radeon 9800Pro won't load games past 8x6 resolution.

    That's weird...I upgraded from a Ti4200 to an Radeon 9800Pro, but didn't have any problems like this...hang on...did you install the latest version of your motherboard drivers as well? Since you didn't say which chipset you have, you either have to go to Via's site to get the latest 4in1...

    Capturing A Streaming Real Media Video

    If I'm not much mistaken, on the RealPlayer PRO there used to be a "record" button...dunno if its still there though...I imagine you're using the free version of the player

    PowerColor Radeon 9800Pro won't load games past 8x6 resolution.

    When you're in any particular game, can you change the resolution to something higher? Games often default to 800 by 600 when you install them. Try that, it should work no prob.

    Palm SDIO Modem?

    Hi everyone. I have a Palm Tunsgten E that really works well, but now I need to be connected the 'net while on the road. I have looked high and low but found no mention of an SDIO wireless modem or a cable kit that will connect to my Motorola V60 GSM phone...any info you may have is appreciated.

    Dialer Problems

    Did you try running msconfig (start >> run >> msconfig)? In the start-up tab you may find you culprit (and maybe other things that shouldn't be there)

    Can't see "Play Control" window but taskbar says its open

    Hi there. Just found the weirdest problem...I double click on the volume icon in the task bar, and the "Play Control" button shows up on the task bar as if the window is open, but I don't see it anywhere on my two screens. The only thing that I did before this problem is try to install a Compaq...

    SCSI HDD question?

    Sounds like your drives are toasted...I checked just to make sure, but your newer adaptec card has LVD SCSI on the 68pin connector, but the older one does not have LVD, so the drives should have worked on one or the other. If you get the same error with both cards, then it may be the cable (I've...

    Remapping Sound I/O ports on HP laptop

    Hi everyone. I would like to know if the following is possible and if so, with what means. I have an HP zt1260 laptop, 1.6GHz P4 with an 845 mobile chipset. The sound chip is an Intel 82801CA/CAM AC'97 Audio Controller. My problem is that the headphone jack is damaged (the outer ring of the...

    noise cancelling

    You have a nice idea, but I've experimented with this in my room for other purposes and found that the sound source and speaker have to have to be exactly opposite in phase from the point of view (pardon the expression) of your eardrum. The only way that's possible is with headphones, where the...

    looking for a good firewall for home use

    I've had a very good experience with Norton Internet Security 2002/2003. You can customize any aspect of the setup that you need, and along with Norton AntiVirus, I've had zero problems or intrusions for the past year (my machine's online 24/7)...mind you, I see from the logs that my machine...

    product key for photoshop 6

    Even if you don't have the serial number, you can copy the Photoshop6 folder from ProgramFiles onto a CD, then put it back on your drive with the new Windows install. It will still work once you run it (this used to work on a Mac about 6 years ago, good thing Adobe at least keeps this part of...

    Which is the best defragger?

    Diskeeper 7 works beautifully on XP, especially useful if you have it on more than one machine, as it has a network management interface (why go to different rooms/floors of your house to defrag the drives if you can do it from the comfort of your chair? =) )
