    Internet Explorer 10 does NOT recognize Java 7u17

    Try installing the 64 bit version of Java. Firefox is 32 bit so your 32 bit Java works. With previous versions of IE, you had the option of running 32 or 64 bit, on a 64 bit system. With IE 10, you no longer have that option. I ASSUME that means your IE 10 is running as 64 bit and can't see...

    Audio file conversion and burning utility all-in-one?

    foobar2000 will do what you want and it's free. You will need to add the burninate plugin to write audio CDs, and various command line encoders (exe files) if you want to encode to mp3, FLAC, aac, etc. It can read any audio format as installed but can't convert except to wav, as I recall...

    Crucial 5000 Hour bug fix firmware released!

    0309 is working for me now but it was more challenging than previous updates. In the past I kept the drive connected to its Intel SATAIII port but this time the updater couldn't find the drive. I switched to a SATAII port and it still couldn't find any drive. Finally I switched the drive mode...

    Best way to manage SSD + HDD w/Libraries, etc.?

    Interesting, thanks, but I don't want to move the entire profile. My goal is only to move Library data folders such as Music, Vidoes, etc., which are potentially large, to the D drive, and keep the other presumably smaller non-Library folders such as Favorites on the C drive. In case anyone...

    Best way to manage SSD + HDD w/Libraries, etc.?

    I built a new Windows 7 PC with a SSD for the OS and HDD for storage. I prefer to keep the OS on the C drive and data on the D drive so they can be backed up independently, so having two drives is fine. My question is, is there any way to easily set things up so that My Docs, Libraries...

    Best FLAC conversion software and how can i lower bitrates?

    Go to http://www.rarewares.org/mp3-lame-bundle.php and download LAME 3.98.4 using libsndfile 1.0.21 to your preferred folder. It's the command line encoder foobar2000 needs; it doesn't have its own encoder. Point foobar2000 to the encoder and you're good to go. Foobar2000 will run the...

    Intel-made Z68 board for overclocking?

    The currently available Intel DZ68DB has overclocking. I haven't tried it yet. Too late for the OP, I know.

    I was recently considering getting a ZR24W and discovered it's out of stock at many online retailers. Could it be discontinued?

    Easiest Program to Recover Deleted Files?

    Try Recuva. It's freeware. Includes the Ask Toolbar which you can decline. There's also a slim version without Ask.

    I know you don't want to install new software but GSpot is a single exe file which will tell you what you want to know.

    CD copy, altering CD text

    One way to edit CD text: 1) Extract audio using Exact Audio Copy or other program, to image + cue sheet. 2) Edit CD text in cue sheet. It's a simple text file. Might have to Google for correct format though. 3) Burn new audio CD from revised cue sheet. EAC can do this, as can Imgburn and...

    convert .mov to .avi

    Avidemux is Windows (and other OS) freeware that should do the trick. Can also edit, apply effects, etc.

    Recommend free WAV --> MP3 batch conversion utility

    +1 for foobar2000. It will use every core you have running the LAME converter, which you have to obtain separately, and then point to in foobar2000. Simply add all the files you want to convert to foobar2000, right click, and convert. Done.

    Picture and Image editing program

    Maybe try XnView and Faststone Image Viewer. They are more for browsing photos on your HD but might work, and are simple to use.

    New BIOS out for Intel DG33TL!

    I got one of these cheap from a Retail Edge reseller. Perfect for my needs. Intel's cranking out a new BIOS every couple days lately. They're up to 0372 now. I'm a couple iterations behind. 0345 works fine with an E8400 and XPSP2. 0326 is the minimum for a Penryn.

    Intel DG33TL MB problems

    Problem was the Seasonic S12II SS-330GB power supply. Apparently it doesn't like very low power draw systems. I put the cheap old InWin PSU back and everything works fine. Nothing wrong with the MB at all. A few people have reported similar problems in Newegg reviews. Posting the answer...

    Intel DG33TL MB problems

    I got one of these cheap to replace a previous Intel DG965RY board which never gave me any problems. Using all the same hardware, this DG33TL board is driving me crazy. The PC is always connected to power. I shut it off every night in WinXP SP2, and it goes into standby if not used for over...

    How's the audio quality on Intel DP35DP?

    I have an Intel DG33TL board which I believe uses the same onboard audio as the DP35DP. I ran the Rightmark Audio Analyzer loopback test. Bottom line is that the onboard audio is adequate for A to D conversion but not great, probably fine for casual listening of your LPs. If you want really...

    gigabyte ga-p35-ds3r and S3 standby with USB

    Google USBBIOSx and see what Microsoft has to say. You'll need to edit the registry. It worked for me on an Intel board, may not work on yours.

    Maudio Audiophile 2496 for DAW motherboard HELP

    "Best motherboard" is a very open ended question. What are you looking for? Stability? What features? Intel boards are very stable but no overclocking. I assume you know that there are no Vista drivers for this card.

    *** Official Intel DP965LT Thread ***

    Hello, Still working through some weird issues on my DG965RY, trying to determine what's leftover from installing programs with bad RAM vs. what are "normal" issues. My latest issue is Desktop Utilities. It works normally in the SysTray when I boot into my admin account. When I boot into...

    *** Official Intel DP965LT Thread ***

    Hello, I have a DG965RY board. I had a problem with bad RAM; couldn't get programs to unpack and install but replacement RAM has fixed that. One weird problem remains: Disk Cleanup never works, always has to close with an error. Anyone else experiencing that? Also, Desktop Utilities...

    Question about bad RAM

    To close this out, the replacement RAM seems to have fixed my problems. Everything appears ok except what I had burned to CDR using the bad RAM. With the new RAM, the downloaded and previously burned Nero 6.6 update had numerous corrupt files when unpacked. Unpacking it straight from the hard...

    Question about bad RAM

    Hello, I'm in the process of getting my first ever build to work. What a nightmare. I've had numerous problems installing Windows and programs, getting "corrupt file" and CRC errors. Eventually I got most things running but could never unpack a large downloaded program file; it would always...
