    Windows 7 Wireless Card Issue(s)

    Finally upgraded to Win7 the other day and I must say it has been a complete and total nightmare so far. I'm running Home Premium 64-bit and I've got a Linksys WMP54GS v1.1 wireless card. For the first day and a half the internet worked fine, then after a reboot suddenly the card would no longer...

    Games like Chart Wars

    Did anyone play the game Chart Wars in any of its incarnations? I remember it was a fairly fun game to play despite its many flaws and was wondering if there was anything out there similar to it these days. A Google search just brought up a failed attempt at creating a new one a little over a...

    Windows Vista default programs

    Mods: Not sure if this belongs in OS or Software, so feel free to move if necessary. This problem just started popping up within the past 2 months. For some reason my MP3s no longer open with iTunes. For a while they opened with this other program that I used for transcribing files, but I...

    Random Powering Off

    I've noticed within just the past couple days that my computer randomly powers off. I've never been in the room to see it happen (just now I was taking out the garbage and came back to find it off). It's done this 3 times in the past 20ish hours. I'm only inferring here, but I'm fairly sure that...

    Desktop Defender 2010

    I tried searching for this in several forums and couldn't find anything on it, which surprises me since a Google search turns up a lot. Anyway, I got hit with this on my desktop today and it's really frustrating the hell out of me. I figured out it was a scam right away and ended any...

    How many CSU students?

    I'm just curious as to how many currently enrolled CSU (California) students there are on here. After everything that's gone down this summer (two tuition raises, capping max units at 16, all campus faculty/staff taking 10% cuts, furloughs, etc.) I'm wondering if people are pissed at other...

    Another Firefox 3.5 thread

    As far as I can tell I'm having different problems than other people so that's why I started a new thread. I only looked over a couple though so forgive me if I'm mistaken. It started yesterday, little things that at first I thought were due to SETI taking all my CPU power or something. I'd...

    Diablo 2 Issue

    For anyone out there still rocking this game, I've got an issue with my level 32 barbarian. For some reason it won't unlock the Whirlwind skill, despite it only requiring level 30. Anyone know what's up with this?

    SETI crunchers

    I'm sure someone has posted something like this before but I was thinking about this the other day and decided to ask the community. What's your reason for crunching SETI and not some other project whose results will have more immediate effects? There are other projects such as Folding that seem...

    Name that NES game

    I used to play this game on NES when I was young that I can't remember the name of but I remember it being one of the most fun games I played and all my friends and I would always play it to see who could get furthest. It was similar to Adventures of Lolo in its style where each level was a...

    What exactly does sd4hide do?

    I'm curious as to what in the registry changes when you run safedisc4hide because I can no longer run Diablo II and I'm almost positive that this is what did it. I built a new rig about 10 days ago and install D2 from the install files downloadable at the Blizzard website. It ran fine when I did...

    Question about photons

    I realize this isn't a hardware related question, but back when I used to look at HT I remember the questions being about anything so I figured I'd post here rather than in OT for better quality of answers. My question may be stupid/simple but I didn't get a chance to ask yesterday in my...

    Using Remote Desktop w/Vista

    I'm not at all familiar with remote desktop other than one time I saw a professor access his home computer from class to pull up our lecture. I was wondering how it works and if I can use it with Vista. At home I'm running Vista home basic x64 and on my laptop I'm running x86. The main thing I...

    Problem with SETI@home

    I'm relatively new to SETI@home (did it for a bit back in 05ish but never knew if I had my account linked to the team). I had shoulder surgery today and the timing couldn't be any better since I just put together a new Phenom X3 rig last night. I was super excited to get BOINC installed and S@H...

    XP or Vista?

    I'm getting ready to slowly build a new rig and I'm not sure which OS to go with. I'm using Vista on my laptop and other than the annoying administrator popups every time I do anything, I can't really tell whether or not I like it yet. The new system would be mostly for gaming and basic use. Not...

    Anyone else getting a Germany gmail error?

    For some reason within the past 24 hours I've started getting an error when I type in gmail.google.com. It says that in Germany you can only access gmail via the mail.google.com link and it's called Google Mail, not Gmail. I'm not in nor have I ever been to Germany. What the hell is going on?

    Portable Hard Drive Question

    I bought a 1TB Free Agent Extreme last week because I needed something that I could store all of my video/film stuff on for school. It said Windows on the box but I figured I could just reformat it so that I could use it on OSX (which is what's in our editing lab). I went in today with some...

    Linksys Adapter Not Working

    Back in town for the weekend and of course the folks are having some computer issues. I actually reformatted this laptop and threw fresh drivers on it last time I was home and apparently that didn't help. Uninstalled the drivers and put new ones on but still the same problem. When I open the...

    Weird Firefox Issue

    This just started a couple days ago. For some reason FF won't keep me logged into anything anymore. I never used to have to log into the forums, Gmail, Facebook, etc. because I could just always stay logged in, but a couple of days ago I noticed I had to log in to everything again. I thought...

    Help attaching a new 1/8" plug to speaker cable

    The plug on one end of the cable got bent to the point where the speakers wouldn't work anymore. I asked the guy at the store if it was easy to do and he said yes so I came home without thinking twice, but now I don't know what I'm doing. I've got a new plug with screw-on housing and don't know...

    Firefox Woes

    I don't know what happened exactly, one minute all of my bookmarks are there, then a blue screen later they're gone. When I opened FF I noticed two tabs opened as though it upgraded so I just exited the one before even reading it but now I can't find my bookmarks anywhere. It's like they were...

    Webhost question

    I'm looking for a webhost for someone because he doesn't really realize what a good deal is and I came across a place called Lypha Networks that supposedly offers unlimited storage/unlimited transfer bandwidth for 6.95/month. It's been a while since I've bought any hosting, but is this still...

    Question about microphones and macs

    Not really sure if this is the right forum but mods feel free to move it if I'm in the wrong place. Just let me know where you put it. I've got a regular 1/8 inch mic and I'm trying to record my acoustic guitar in Garageband. Yes, I know this is totally ghetto, but I don't want to put a...

    Southwest Commercial Rant

    I can't take it anymore. I first saw this commercial close to a month ago and from the first time I saw it I wanted to blow up my television. It's the one with the Asian-American little girl singing My Country Tis of Thee. It's supposed to be cute because she's singing off-key and and isn't...

    YAFBT: I hate trades

    Some guy is offering me Troy Tulo and Adam Dunn for Jimmy Rollins. Tulo and Dunn have both been slumping but Rollins is injured for probably at least another week or so, and who knows how an ankle injury will affect his hitting. (For those of you who will say that an ankle injury has nothing to...

    Wonder Years

    So I heard an awesome cover of the theme song for some commercial and I decided to check YouTube for some old clips when I came across this. I'll probably never be able to watch a rerun of this show the same way again now. Edit: The video response is kinda funny too.

    ESPN Widget

    For some reason my ESPN widget has never really worked properly. It will display the same information regarding games for sometimes up to a few weeks, which is cool if I wanted to remember what the score was with 7:14 left in the 4th quarter of the Kings vs Lakers, but not if I want up to date...

    Calling Movie Gurus

    I didn't see it more than a year or two ago but I know it came out well before I saw it where this group targets some bank in New York that supposedly keeps all the gold reserves of the world and has more gold than Fort Knox. I can't even remember the full plot anymore, just that one of the...

    It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia

    Anyone else think that the waitress chick from the coffee shop that Charlie has a crush on is not cute at all? I've watched like 8 episodes of this show now and keep waiting for her to change her hairstyle or something so she doesn't look so bad but it never happens.

    Question for anyone who has/has seen The Lion King

    Don't ask me why, but as I'm writing a paper for my history class I got this movie stuck in my head and I remembered the dialogue between Timon and Pumba before Can You Feel the Love Tonight comes on. I never knew when I was little and I can't find it in the script (the one online is a draft and...

    Remember the king of BSODs?

    So there was a man in a not so far away place who once purchased around $600 worth of new computer parts. Upon setting up his rig the first day he started BSODing, beginning down a dark path which he would not return from unchanged. For those not familiar with the story, here are the basic...

    Garage Band Jam Packs

    Does anyone have any experience with these firsthand? If so, which ones? I'm just curious as to how many effects and loops they come with and curious about how good they are. I don't want to drop a bill on one of them and be unsatisfied.
