So I am at a house trying to set up a network with 3 xp machines and one win 7. The printer is connected to the windows 7 machine via usb and and works. With my laptop if i put in the ip address i can enter the windows 7 machine. I can ping the 7 computer from all three computers. But when on...
I got one of these as a recycle deal. Months ago, I installed xp and had it up and running, with lack of internet (couldn't find the ethernet driver to save my life). It sat idle until two days ago when I fired it up for an HTPC (It does run the 42 inch tv on the onboard video...) but the...

I was asked to work on a toshiba satellite that shows an initial toshiba bios boot screen for a sec then goes black. I think its safe to say the screen is good and when i hook up an extra flat panel it works fine. Updated everything, used ESET NOD32 to scan for virus's reseated the ram and...

My neighbor gave me a laptop to work on since the person who worked on it before "messed it up". When I got it i attached the drive to my sig comp and found that EVERY SINGLE FILE was in folder. So I did a Nod32 scan and fixed 6 virus's which was part of the problem. Went to go place the files...
So I installed Painkiller Black Edition on my computer (in my sig) and when I start it i get a quick burst of sound and a black screen, then I get a weird blue screen that takes up most of the left upper portion of the screen. Installed the patch for Painkiller (1.61) updated my gpu driver...
I just built an HTPC and I have the weirdest issue. I will be watching streaming video online, and the computer will just freeze. If I reboot it it works just fine. For example two days ago I watched a movie on one site with no problems, went over to Hulu to watch a tv show and about 15 minutes...
ok so i know i should know this, but am used to the front panel being a single block to connect to computer, not seperate wires.
here is how they come out of the case (some free case don't know what kind)
Ground-gray wire (simple enough)
mic in-red
micpower-black
this is where it gets weird...

So I am looking to build an HTPC for a friend of mine and am having a hard time. I need to keep a 600 dollar cap on it somehow, but this is hard considering he has two HD sources (foreign satellite and local cable). So this is what I have so far.
Intel E2200 Core2Duo CPU
Asus P5KPL-CM Mobo...

was going through all kinds of hell trying to find the answer to this one. I have a base computer (the one in my sig) that holds my files. As you can see I have both Windows 7 and XP on each with extra partition or hdd for data storage. was having some major issues networking but believe it to...
So I bought a WD Green terrabyte drive on Sunday because my computer was locking up after about 10 minutes or so of using it. Restarts were the same way. Instead of testing which one was the culprit (or for fear of loosing everything no backups bad hippy!) I ran like hell to worst buy for a...
Thanks in advance for any and all help

OK so this is a HTPC build that I am currently pricing out. The original goal was to be as close to $500 without sacrificing quality. The below build came out to 700 dollars but handles everything I wanted to throw at it. Would love some input as I am exhausted at pricing this out...
So I had an idea and have no idea if it is possible or if so how. But thought that a program might be able to be built to do this. Please help this non programmer.
1) Could a program be made to split two audio sources on your computer to two seperate channels? (instance in mind game on...
So as I was about to fire up my new COD World At War, I wanted to have my music playing on the four surround speakers i have set up (2 2 speaker and sub setups) and my game only my headphones. I have a HIFI audio chipset built into my motherboard (Creative Sound Blaster X-FI) on a MSI P6N...

Ok I apologize in advance for my brashness but I am about to throw this computer through the wall.
Doing an XP downgrade on the afformentioned laptop. I have installed all the drivers except two. One is an unknown usb device which i believe is the webcam. Since the webcam works I am able to...
I was thinking about the iphone and how you can hook it up to a receiver (at work) and though well hell what kind of phone would give me access to my music files on my computer (via online access) so I could play them anywhere? Don't want to be laden with multiples mini computers in my pocket so...
I am looking at a Toshiba Satellite A305 with a mobile intel(r) 965 express chipset family video chip. When I hook it up to my 42 inch widescreen HDTV it only allows 1024x768 resolution. When I set it to allow higher resolutions and set it to the resolution native to the HDTV 1900x? (can't...
So here is the deal. My g/f got me a copy of convertxtodvd and I installed it with no issues. It seems to convert just fine it just won't burn. It keeps throwing an error message. The tech guy with no information told me I had bad media. I used a pirated copy of this program in the past and...
So i was gaming the other day and crashing. So after a few things updated the driver to one that had been released 2 days prior and VOILA! My computer was gaming like a champ again (at least its better than I am) So I was curious, why is that. The game wasn't a new game and I am confused as to...
Been wanting to change my OS for awhile now and seems that for a gamer Windows is the only way to go. I am not a huge gamer but do play from time to time and don't want to be bothered with the dual boot option. So is there an alternative for PC's that will handle games?
I have to say I am...

Hello. I did a downgrade for a Toshiba Satellite A135-S2356 from Vista to XP. After fighting with the drivers I was able to install all drivers only to find that the resolution changed from the proper setting (can't remember the res at the moment) to 1024x768. I was able to change the res to its...
Hello. I got a flat panel monitor for free that is causing issues (imagine that). It is a HP vs17e 17 inch flat panel. When I hook it up to the old Dell computer the bios and the desktop are off to the left about two inches. When I hook it to the computer it originally was with (or so I think)...
Just curious. I have a EVGA 260 gtx and it peaks at 55 c under load and was wondering if I took the plastic casing off the card would it help or hinder. It looks to me like the fan is mounted to the board and figured with two fans on the side panel one positioned for the gpu if it would help to...
