This is kind of ridiculous, but I can't seem to find a set of 3 3.5mm audio cables (M-M) that are connected to each other and color coded to save my life. I'm looking for them to replace a set that came with my logitech computer speakers, which are now frayed on the inside. newegg and radio...

Long story short, dad's PC got a virus and I had to reload windows, but we can't find the drivers CD, the machine's ~a year old. the mobo is a DFI Infinity P965-s (called the P965 dark sometimes) for the life of me, I can't find the drivers for this anywhere on the DFI website. I did find...

I'm in the process of making a video, and testing out encoding a short clip in a few different formats to see what kind of quality/compression I'm looking at. I'm having a load of trouble with the x264 codec though. The Video is just a short 17 second clip, 1280x720 (both divisible by 16)...

I appreciate the input from everyone, and sadly I can't get any results out yet because I've hardly had any time for anything with two exams this week. By the weekend, I should have some time to iron this out and see what's up

I already own the crossover cable, my mobo came with two onboard NICs, and the power is paid for by the university, so the only real question is whether $20 + tax + shipping (I live in NJ, newegg has a warehouse here.) is a good tradeoff to save a little time. Being a college student, I'd rather...

Thanks for the help, I'm going to try the winsock fix. I'm pretty confident that the IP's were coming up 192.168.0.X every time I ran the wizard, and I disabled the firewall on the host and the client every time I ran it. The only thing I have that could possibly be blocking it is AVG Free...

followed that tutorial exactly, same result if it matters, when I got this working before, and when it works at home, my laptop sees "Internet Gateway" when things are working, and that's not coming up now. it comes up in the tutorial, but after running both wizards my setup doesn't look the...

I'm trying to share my internet from my desktop to my laptop via a crossover cable, and running into problems. Both machines are running XP (Home, which I've heard might be an issue, but I don't think it should be) the desktop has SP3, but the laptop has SP2. Desktop has a DFI board with 2...

I have an Audigy 2 ZS, and I've never had problems with it or IRQ conflicts. I also have a nice set of headphones, Sennheiser HD 555's. I've never used the onboard(Realtek HD) until just now, because I was curious, and I can honestly say that there wasn't a very noticable difference in sound...

I have 2 gb of this stuff (Corsair XMS2 Dominator) that's rated for DDR2 1066, but my mobo clocks it at 800 when everything is set to auto. My understanding is because 1066 isn't really accepted as a standard, the mobo goes with 800 which is the next lowest standard. I was looking around online...

=/ I guess that's what I was afraid of. thanks for your help

I checked the boot order a few times and even did a factory reset of bios options, no luck there. I forgot to mention, I ran chkdsk through the recovery console and it found "one or more errors". I did it again with the /r (tries to recover the data in the bad sectors) and it hung at 50%. I...

I have an Asus F3T notebook computer. It came with vista, but a few months back I reformatted and installed XP without any problems. It ran for several months with no crashes or hangs or any problems at all. A few weeks ago, I tried to run the Backtrack 2 live CD off of a USB flash drive and...
