    OpenGL 2.0, video cards, and you...?

    I'm looking to buy a nVidia Geforce 6800GT card and I noticed something. These are the two cards I'm looking at, and they seem to be almost exactly the same (even in price)... MSI: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-127-140&depa=1 EVGA...

    Is mobo on-board audio ok, or should I use my SB Live?

    Hmm, alright I guess I can give that a go. I'm not at home right now but I remember my subwoofer has two different connector types. One is a 3-wire cable connector that fits perfectly with my SB Live, and the other is a single 1-wire cable. Will the difference in wire count effect the quality at...

    Is mobo on-board audio ok, or should I use my SB Live?

    I'm putting together a new rig, and I'm wondering if I should bother grabbing my SB Live card from my old PC or not. I currently have 2 speakers and a subwoofer and I'm not going to upgrade to 5.1 or 6.1 anytime soon (if ever). Also I run Debian Linux (never Windows) and I'm not familiar with...

    IE has gone crazy

    After posting I updated Spybot and did another system search and it found a few things. I think that the problem is fixed. I'm using IE now with no problems. It was a program called ClientMan, and it was running when Spybot tried to remove it so I had to restart my PC. As I feared, it had itself...

    IE has gone crazy

    I left my newly built PC at home for four months while I went to school (first mistake), and my 14 year old brother convinced me to let him use it to play games and crap (second mistake). Now that I'm home, he has screwed up IE in a way I've never seen before. Pop-ups for just about every damn...

    My Win98 SE is messed up, please help

    Bleh, I can't even find my zip discs now, and I have a bunch (+2GB) of music videos and music (1GB) I want to save. I guess I could always transfer my files to a friends HDD and let him hold on to them for me while I re-format. I just haven't had good formatting experiences in the past, so I...

    My Win98 SE is messed up, please help

    I have an update disk. My computer came with Win95 and I updated it to 98SE (I think). I'm just hesitant about reinstalling everything because I don't have all the original discs and software and stuff since it is not a home-built PC. I have a Zip 250 drive, but I don't have the drivers for it...

    Be my hero! Please someone tell me it's OK for me to...

    Yeah I don't like that BS either. WinXP is expensive enough, but to buy it for two machines just sucks. Luckly I got my copy for $5 (:D) but I'm not willing to spend another $5 to get another copy! Actually I can't buy the $5 copy anymore. Is there any way to "de-activate" WinXP from one machine...

    My Win98 SE is messed up, please help

    I am trying to get my Dell computer back on its feet. I bought it in May 2000, its a PIII 800Mhz with 256MB RAM (in case anyone was wondering). I haven't been very nice to it (installing too much useless crap, and unproperly uninstalling the useless crap), and I think its really starting to hate...

    Network Security Information

    Hi, I'm working with my professor this Fall semester on an intrusion security tolerance project that I need some help on. First of all, I've done nothing related to network security before, but I am pretty fluent in C (took Data structures course last semester). Here is a description of what I...

    How can I get rid of Klez.E.Worm?

    I always get this e-mail virus somehow, even though I NEVER open any attachments. I know I have it because every now and then I get an e-mail from some random address saying that they wouldn't accept my message, because it contained this virus in it. I don't have any anti-virus software because...

    Codecs Codecs Codecs...

    I hate not having the one I need. Is there a site out there that I can download EVERY codec from? I'm tired of searching, and Windows Media Player always fails when it tries to download a codec for me. I know that there is a place that lists all the codecs you have installed in WinXP, but I...

    My case is vibrating!

    It's REALLY annoying. I've tried so hard to minimize the sound that my computer emits and now this has to crop up. Here is the case: Link. I think the vibrations are coming from the front of the case, but its really hard to tell. What could be causing it? I think I've heard of some type of...
