    Unlocker

    I'm running Windows XP 32-bit. I installed unlocker to try and get my utorrent program to work right (long story short I got that working, not with unlocker). I didn't find unlocker useful so I uninstalled it. I checked my msconfig and the program still starts up when my computer starts up...

    iTunes Clipping

    I was looking at my PatchMix DSP level meter and it shows that iTunes at full volume clips the music. Just thought some people out there would be interested in knowing this. So I would suggest upping your volume not using iTunes.

    Home Recording

    When I record (I'm using Audacity) the music levels at zero, however when I compare the volume to the music industry's music it doesn't even compare with how loud it is. Let me sum that up: My music at zero = too low volume compared to major label music If I level it any higher I get...

    Overclocking DDR Dual Channel Ram

    The first thing I suggest is downloading Memtest. Have it on your computer even if it's not already installed on your BIOS. If it is on your BIOS I suggest just using the pre installed one even if it is not the newest edition. This just saves some time and frustration. First find out how...

    Resale policy for Office 2007

    I have a copy of Office 2007 that was purchased with a Dell about 10 months ago and I was wondering what are the legal ramifications if I decided to sell it on eBay. The original reason I purchased the copy was not to sell it.

    Need some crucial updates

    I haven't logged-in in like 2 years. Last I heard you should absolutely not get Vista. Dual core basically acts like a terrible single core. And Mac wasn't for professionals anymore. Is it all still true?

    Freeze Up Trouble

    Basically my computer has been acting up the last 6 months. My computer will lock up about every half hour or so for a few minutes.

    Is a extended warranty for ipods advisable?

    So many people that I know have had issues with their ipods freezing and such. So I was thinking that an extended warranty would be a good idea. Your thoughts please. Oh yea I would be getting the 60gb version, so I'm guessing hard drive based storage = more problems.

    Ebay charging me $15 for returned automatic payment

    Ebay has given me a $15 charge for returned automatic payment, or something of the sort. Basically Ebay tried to pay itself automatically the fees I owed them for auctioning, which were a whopping $1.65. My bank declined the transaction. So now ebay wants me to pay them a $15 "banking" fee...

    Dual Core Concept

    I was thinking about dual core CPUs and how much harder they are going to make programming. Would it be possible for an operating system to do the processor allocation, so that programs would only have to deal with "one" CPU? It seems like such an operating system would be quite a task to...

    Computer crashes in BF2, PSU possible cause?

    My friends computer (3400, DFI-UT 754, 9800 pro) crashes after playing BF2 anywhere from 5-20 minutes of gameplay. There is no overclocking on this computer. PSU is 400w HIPRO, and I'm think that this might be the problem.

    How to confirm if my motherboard is dead

    I have a DFI Lanparty Ultra-D. After I installed a new CPU things stopped working. At first I thought it was the video card since the diagnostic led on the mobo said VGA error. But I am fairly certain now that it's not the video card and in fact the motherboard. I have tried 2 different...

    New CPU, now computer won't boot

    I had a 3000 e3 venice working perfectly fine. Then I put my new 3000 e6 venice in, reset the CMOS, and now it won't boot. It just goes to the pretty little DFI boot picture and doesn't go past that. I'm very concerned, suggestions apprectiated. Is the chip DOA?

    P180 fragility problems

    The sliding side door has these very flimsy clips that help secure the panel to the case. I bought the case last week and 2 of the damn things already broke off. Would Antec let me RMA for a new side panel? Other than this slight thing this is a great case.
