    Audio questions

    I have a set of Klisch 4.1 speakers, but as they are all set in front of me while at the computer, I want to take the two rear satellites and run them out of my TV (Vizio E420VL). To do this I would need to convert the bear ends of the speaker wire coming out of the satellites to RCA's, and not...

    I want the Win 7 Black Theme

    Before I finally registered my copy of Windows, it had told me that my copy may not be genuine, and my theme went black. Well, I remembered to register and it went back to normal theme, but I want the black one back and now I can't find it. Any suggestions?

    Win 7 will run in safe mode, but crashes otherwise

    Hey all, I've been battling a problem for several months now, but have been too busy at work to really sit down with it. My computer will run fine in safe mode, but otherwise usually won't even get into Windows 7, or if it does the little blue thinking circle/cursor spins reeeaaallly slowly...

    Win 7 Resolution Problems

    Weird problem here. I'm triple booting (just because I haven't erased XP) with Win 7 RC, Ultimate, and XP. In RC and XP my resolution of 1920x1080 looks fine, but in the Win 7 Ultimate it's leaving about a 3/4 inch border around the desktop of unused space. I've tried reinstalling Catalyst...

    HDD will format to FAT32 but not NTFS

    I've been running the 32 bit Windows 7 for a couple of months, but since I have 4 gigs of RAM, I decided to try the 64 bit version. I made the ISO of it, and went to install, but when I told it to format the partition where the old Windows 7 had been, it said it couldn't, but it cleared the...

    No internet in Windows 7

    I just did a clean install of 7 and all is well, except now I can't connect to the internet from Windows 7. I'm getting an error code 10 "This device cannot start" from Device manager for my Nvidia Networking Adapter, even though it works fine and shows no error in XP. It shows the proper driver...

    I recently installed Win 7 on a formatted partition of my HDD, and all went well except my Nvidia networking adapter won't work. In Device manager it's got the yellow exclamation with the error code "This device cannot start" code 10, despite the fact that it does show the correct driver...

    Can't find my Windows 7

    I recently installed Windows 7 on a formatted partion of one of my hard drives, and the next time I restarted, I had the option of booting into it or my original XP. I've since had to reinstall XP, and now I don't get the option to dual boot. I can still see it on the partition from XP, I just...

    Can't get 720p or 1080i on Olevia 242v

    I just got the Olevia 242v, hooked it up to Dish Network HD through an HDMI cable, but even when viewing an HD program, the display reads 480p @ 60Hz. This is the first HDTV I've owned, so I don't know if this is normal, or is there some way I can force it to display one of the higher resolutions?

    Do I NEED a dual core processor?

    I'm looking to ugrade my old rig (see below) and am wondering, would I be dumb to not upgrade to a dual core processor, or if I would be fine with a single core processor. Since I graduated , I don't use my computer for anything but playing games or surfing. I've got young kids, so I'm on a...

    Does Memtest86+ failure always mean bad RAM?

    I've been having some stability problems with my system, and narrowed it down to the RAM I think, as running Memtest86+ showed several errors, but what I'm wondering is, does a failed test have to be the sticks of RAM (I'm using two sticks of 512 MB Corsair Value Select DDR 400), or can it be...

    Changed PSU, now no P.O.S.T.

    I just switched out my old PSU with a new Antec Neo 550. I made no other changes to the system, just switched the cables, but when I tried to boot the system, I got no video signal and a series of repeated long beeps. My MB is an MSI K8N Neo Platinum with the D-bracket which shows (if you are...

    Can't get MB to recognize AGP 4X

    I don't know if it is the BIOS that isn't allowing it, or if something in the video card is telling the MB that it doesn't support 4X. The video card is a GeForce 4600, the MB is an ABIT KR7A-RAID with the latest bios update. I tried re-flashing the BIOS, but with no change. I previously ran...

    No option to enable AGP 4X on KR7A-RAID

    I've had my computer for a couple of years now, and I recently formatted and reinstalled XP Home, but now when I go to my BIOS settings, under AGP Mode, the only option is 2X. It has never done this before. Have I done something to disable this? Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks

    My MB is an ABIT KR7A-RAID, and my video card is a GeForce4 4600. In my BIOS, under AGP Mode, the only option is 2X. I've had it set to 4X for a long time, but recently reinstalled XP Home, and now it won't let me set it to 4X. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Help!! Can't get KR7A-RAID to power up!

    I got my motherboard today from Newegg.com, but I can't get any response from the board.

Is there any way to...
