    Yay flooding! (PC Build)

    Am I correct in thinking that the next step up from the GTX560Ti is the GTX570? Video card numbers seem to go all over. I did not realise that the K was the part that enabled the multiplier, so I'll definitely go for that combo, thanks. I had picked out the mobo because of my lack of...

    Yay flooding! (PC Build)

    The basement flooded and my computer had decided to be on that night, so everything got fried and oxidized except for the monitors and speakers. I just use this computer for gaming and music listening. I am intending to play Skyrim when it comes out. My budget is around $1000, but using...

    Desktop Issue

    This goes here? :) My desktop icons get hidden behind all of my desktop except a little area to the left. It's easiest to explain with this ten secondish demonstration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekjntyM6qDQ I have dual monitors set to extended desktop running on an ATI Radeon 4850 and...

    Fastest Way: Checking for Duplicates in an Array

    Is it possible to check for duplicates in an array faster than (N^2)/2? The only way I can think of to do so would be like so with an array of 5 elements: check 1 against 2,3,4,5 check 2 against 3,4,5 check 3 against 4,5 check 4 against 5

    Windows 7 Scripting

    Okay, since I wasn't very specific, three examples: 1) You have to rename 100 files in a way that can be define with an algorithm. For example, numbering the files or adding an X to ones that contain a keyword. 2) You need to access a context menu individually for 100 files, such as Right...

    Windows 7 Scripting

    Is it possible to write a script involving: 1) the menus you get when you right-click a folder 2) in dialog boxes prompting for textual input in Windows 7 If so, how? To give you a good idea as to my technical experience, I have advanced experience with Java and C++, and knowledge in...

    Rig help

    I'm in computer science and I'm taking an advanced graphics programming class in which we are using DirectX10, and my current video card only supports up to 9. Yes, I am reusing stuff. I only need advice for the processor, motherboard, and RAM. And I was kind of set on the i7 because my...

    Rig help

    So I had to upgrade my video for a class I'm taking, which required I get a new power supply. When I installed it, my motherboard decided it wanted to take a crap on me. So I'm pretty much building a whole new computer now. So far I have bought PSU -...

    IE7 Phishing Filter Issue

    Thanks, Chad, but that did not work. I actually have SP3 on my system, so I think that may have already been on on. Bgon, there is the same lack of options in that directory. Lol, corky, did you even read my post?

    Well if this would be better in the OS forum, I'd appreciate it if a mod could move it there.

    IE7 Phishing Filter Issue

    I am working on a system that must have IE7. It cannot use IE8. I need to turn off the Phishing Filter, but I can't do it through Internet Options or GPEdit, as evidenced by the pictures. Any help? IE7 must be available for use due to policies at my work, so the solution is not "get Chrome!"...

    System Build

    My friend is working on a system. She thinks she has everything picked out, but she checked with me to make sure everything was okay. I thought it all looked okay, but I thought I'd run it by you guys. She's a fine art major, so mostly she'll be using this for high quality photo and video...

    Processor Upgrade

    I'd like to upgrade the processor on a motherboard with an LGA775 socket. This rig is used almost exclusively for gaming, so obviously I don't need a quad core. Is the Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 a good choice? Do I have to watch out for anything besides matching up socket types between the...

    IP/Port Difficulties

    Hey guys, the network I am on switches between multiple ISPs, and obviously my IP address changes every time it switches from using one ISP to another. This IP address changing is frustrating as it makes online game playing almost impossible. Either I get kicked out of the game every 10-30...

    PS2 Wireless

    Surround Speakers

    Right now I have the Z2300, but I'm thinking about getting surround. I really like my Z2300, so would the Z5500 be a good choice? Are there any other models I should consider?

    Internet Provider Switching

    Apparently my college's internet is split between two providers and they switch back and forth at least hourly. Obviously this makes internet gaming impossible as it interrupts my connection whenever it changes. What can I do about it?

    Etherlords 2 Crashage

    I installed Etherlords 2 on my new computer, but it crashes before anything happens. (emphasis on anything) There's no error message, just that stupid "Send Error Report" XP thing. Comp specs: XP Home SP1 Athlon 64 3200+ eVGAm 7800GT GeForce (PCIe card) 2GB RAM Soundblaster Audigy2 ZS...

    Firefox Cache

    Firefox seems to have ceased caching images -- even small ones. As I'm on a 28kb connection, this makes for quite a hit on my web surfing speed. I put the limit it up to 512MB, but it still acts the same. Is there anything I can do about this?

    Favorite movie with only one word in it's title

    Half of my favorite movies are one-worders, and half of those have already been mentioned. Picking from that final quarter that're left, I'd have to say Clifford. Joke! I mean Signs. Btw, Bladerunner is terrible (sci-fi stinks). The day I watched it I learned that a movie isn't guaranteed to...

    Question About the Z-2300

    It was on newegg, but the rebate ended on the 24th. I'd check back at there periodically though because I've seen them offer identical rebates after the old ones run out.

    Question About the Z-2300

    Well, I was about to purchase the Klipsch, but then the Z2300 jumped from a $20 rebate to a $50, so I think I'll just get the Z2300 unless you can convince me otherwise. I don't need the speakers to be very loud anyway, even though I listen to techno/trance and play games. In case you were...

    Question About the Z-2300

    I have the Creative Inspire T5400, but I just use them as a 2.1 setup. How do they compare with the Z-2300 as I'm using them?

    Name your SINGLE best music album (seriously) that has not already been mentioned..

    Sheesh, everybody likes stupid pop...If you want something different, try Juno Reactor - Beyond the Infinite. I actually like all of Ben Watkin's stuff, but unlike other people I am able to choose just one album. I was getting all happy-feeling inside (besides the fact that half of you said...

    Need a Good Dial-up ISP

    I do! I've been trying Intergate for 5 or 6 days now. I came back to thank you for the suggestion (it=good), but when I saw tater's I decided to wait until I had tried his as well. So thank you both; I'll definitely be choosing one of them. :)

    Data Execution Prevention is Being Dumb

    I have this problem, except explorer.exe turns off as soon as my computer logs on, and if I turn it back on through task manager, then it just gets turned off again. Any other programs I run get shut off as well. Explorer.exe is definitely the culrpit, because if I turn on DEP for everything...

    Installing Firefox...

    I'm on dialup as well. If you like that kind of dialing that IE gives, use the New Connection wizard to create a new internet connection. It might even already be there (just look in network connections). Using the FlashGot and MediaPlayerConnectivity extensions (so far) has enabled me to use FF...

    Need a Good Dial-up ISP

    Right now I'm on Earthlink, and that charges $20/month for unlimited access. I tried People PC (or whatever it is) because I got a cd in the mail, but that consistantly kicks me off after 2 or 3 hours of connection. Does anyone know of something cheaper out there that leaves your connection...

    Shimmering: if it's so simple to fix, and the fix has been known of for sometime...

    ...Or maybe I wanted to try downloading a 70-series driver to try fixing my shimmering problem. How about you quit trying to increase your post count by being a forum vigilante?
