    Prank.exe -- Start-Up Script?

    A friend of mine gave me her computer to fix. I'm going to have it for a week or so (she's going home for the holidays), and I figured during this time I could do all necessary work... then maybe cause some trouble. What I'd love to be able to do is, every time windows starts up, an error...

    Rebooting, no video signal, switch DVI ports and it works?

    I tried to fit it all in the title. A couple weeks ago I went to a friends house with my computer, and I had a hard time getting my computer started. It seemed to be a power issue. When I got home the power issue was no longer there (leading me to believe that it was somehow his house and...

    A screen for advertising, displaying images and information, to students on campus

    I was instructed to come to some concluded idea as to what we could do given these parameters: 1. We want something that could be "reprogrammed" to display whatever we need at any given time. 2. About 36". 3. It probably won't be controlled by a computer, most likely a DVD player or...

    MMOs, the people who play them, and you.

    Howdy. I was hoping those in-the-know about new MMOs could maybe give me an idea of which are worth looking into. Sharing first-hand experience is greatly appreciated. I was thinking about getting into a game, but I naturally don't want to make a "wrong" choice. LOTR, Vanguard... what...

    Need opinions from the experts (College / Notebook)

    I realized lately that I would really like to replace my desktop with a notebook of some sort. My desktop is aging pretty gracefully (custom built, myself), but I'm here at school now and I've been thinking about parting out my desktop and purchasing a notebook. I've been out of the tech...

    Circuit City B&M, $9.99 for some kickin' games!

    First of all, YMMV. This was news to me when we pulled them out on the floor this evening after close to prepare for tomorrow, but this is basically how it works: We have a lot of games we're selling for $9.99. These aren't trashy games either, we're talking stuff like... Ridge Racer...

    Pittsburgh LAN Party Prizelist

    http://www.pittco.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=607 Some sick prizes right there. Especially seeing as I'm a major contender for both UT and CS (though, looking at the registration list, I'm going to have a couple major challenges). Sweet or what? Especially considering I'm only running on...

    New Monitor, Custom Refresh Rates, and My Concerns.

    I formally used a Dell m781s, and I was handed down a Compaq FS7550 in mint condition. The m781s supported 1024x768 @ 100hz (my desktop settings). It seems the FS7550 only supports 1024x768 @ 85hz. There's that little box that says "Hide Unsupported Refresh Rates" which I just clicked...

    ...of 6800GTs, Antec Sonatas, and God.

    I'm going to be picking up an AGP board with an AGP (obviously) 6800GT. It might be a Golden Sample from Gainward, it might not... either way, I'm getting an Antec Sonata with stock PSU... My question is... do I need to upgrade it? I'm rather sketchy on my PSU knowledge, to be honest...
