    Saving as PDF on Word 2010 creates character misalignment

    Does anyone know why when I save as PDF on Word 2010, certain characters stick to each other and appear misaligned? My Word always saved PDFs normally before until recently. Here's a pic to demonstrate the problem: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/4685/pdfweird.png

    Windows 8 M2, beta for summer

    Why do you think the ARM version would come second? If anything, it would come first since there are a LOT more customers on Intel or actual computer units. I agree. The best gaming developers develop games on Windows, not iOS or Android. It will be amazing to see WoW ported over to a tablet...

    Windows 8 M2, beta for summer

    Why wait until you have 5 PCs? I do it with my 2 PCs already =) I'm guessing the ARM platform one will run first. Since ARM is single-core I would assume and probably not designed for extreme multi-tasking, it probably will be the one to have Windows 8 first, then a desktop version after.

    Please help me pick a 2.0/2.1 speaker

    Hi. I need new speakers for my room / dorm room. I will be living with other people all the time so I don't think I need crazy bass, although when I'm by myself I would like to turn it up. With my speakers, I would mostly be listening to music. I'm not a hardcore audiophile but I consider...

    How long should I run memtest?

    anyone know how I can adjust ram voltage from my BIOS? My board isn't exactly an enthusiast board. It even has an integrated vid card. I only have this board so I could fit it in my lian li p351 case

    How long should I run memtest?

    Thanks for all the help. Here's an update. Ran 3 sticks for at least 2.5 hours and no errors. I'm on my 4th stick, just 1 hour in and no errors. Any comments, suggestions or advice? By the way, when I first bought this RAM, there were 2 sticks that were DOA (not exactly, they worked but had...

    How long should I run memtest?

    I bought 2 pairs and I think I've mixed up the order by now =( @Idon'tcare - that's a good idea. I'll try short tests for each stick first and then if nothing shows up I'll go for longer tests. Thanks. -- But does anyone know a safe general amount of tests/passes to run? I'm on my 1st stick...

    How long should I run memtest?

    I have 4*2GB Patriot DDR2 RAM. Lately my computer has been blue screening and freezing up constantly. I ran a memtest last night on all 4 sticks and indeed there is an error. Now I am testing each stick one by one to find the culprit. How long should I run memtest on each stick? Running...

    BSOD all the time, suspect RAM problem, please help

    1) yes 2) I'll check again, right beside the battery said CLR_CMOS but there were no pins. Pins were top right of the battery under the GFX card. I tightened some cables, turned on the computer and it worked. Everything was reset but I don't know if CMOS was "cleared". I changed speed to 800mhz...

    BSOD all the time, suspect RAM problem, please help

    ok, cleared CMOS (i think by putting jumper on the two pins), set to 800mhz and 1.8V, what should I do next? EDIT: my monitor can't detect a signal from my graphics card now. also the graphic card runs at 100% fan speed too

    in cpuz its 5-5-5-10 how do i clear bios CMOS? I updated my BIOS last night so everything should be reset I suppose? I forgot to state I increased MCH voltage by +1. The ratio is set to manual and at 667MHZ now, I got a BSOD when I boot up this morning but not anymore. 667 a lot less BSOD...

    Why my evga 8800gts idle at 70, load at 85+?

    I can RMA it? They don't make the 320MB anymore maybe they'll send me a 512MB 8800gts xD?

    Why my evga 8800gts idle at 70, load at 85+?

    I'm using eVGA precision tool and already have the fan at max 100. Rivatuner doesn't play nice with 185.85 on Windows 7, and I've used the workaround but precision tool does the same thing without trouble so why not use it. Even at fan max 100, I'm getting 95+ on folding =o

    Why my evga 8800gts idle at 70, load at 85+?

    ya i'm really confused as to why the fan speed doesn't adjust accordingly, it should definitely be at 100% for anything over 88 imo. I was running folding and just hit 93! I paid 320 for this, I don't want it to break already!

    Why my evga 8800gts idle at 70, load at 85+?

    Why my evga 8800gts idle at 70, load at 85+? Stock heatsink, cleaned out the dust from the fan, using antec 900 so ventilation is good and have a wiring job done too Had this card for almost two years and behaviour was actually like that since I got it thanks

    Is 8GB of RAM overkill?

    Is 8GB of RAM overkill?

    Just wondering how you guys go over 4GB? That's kind of crazy and I multitask as well. I can easily have about 3-4 word documents open, about 30-40 tabs, sometimes TF2 running in the bg in case I want to quick play, take a break, then play again, and instant messenger, sometimes VM Ware. I still...

    Is 8GB of RAM overkill?

    Hi. I'm planning on moving to 64-bit OS, but still a bit weary since I've seen a few benchmarks and it seems detrimental to SOME 32-bit apps, and the benefit from 64-bit apps does not seem too high. I'm also not doing any transcoding or video editing either. Anyway back on topic, is 8GB of...

    Are these 8800gts temps safe?

    Well kinda confused now. Just shut down my computer, cleaned up the gpu fans, and opened up GPU-Z. Under sensors there seems to be two readings for GPU temperature that are "current". One is saying 65.8 and another says 72. Overall temps seem to have lowered, probably a dust problem, but why...
