I gave a Dell optiplex 945 SFF to my brother in law from my office. It was reloaded with fresh win XP 64bit pro by our IT. However on boot up it shows two choices on the start menu both for win XP 64bit pro. you have to select one or wait 30 seconds. Is there a way to set a default or other work...
I want to capture TV programs to my hard drive and burn to a DVD. All I want is a simple card or stick that I can connect to my cable antenna (comcast) not through a cable box and burn to a DVD.
I do not need HD since I am making them for my daughter in college who only has a standard dvd...
I'm new to this. I have lots of MP3s on my computer and would like to convert to an audio CD format and burn a CD that I can listen to in my car.
I have converters for CD to MP3 but can you go the other way? Preferably freeware.
Thanks

There are only two user accounts on my computer and all of a sudden we can't fast switch between accounts. When you start-log off-switch user and you go to the welcome screen and click on the other account, all that happens is a screen flash and you are back to the welcome screen. The only way...
My DFI expert with x2 3800, PNY 7900, 2x1gb corsair won't display anything. I put it in standby and now I can't get any video. I reset cmos and popped battery. When it boots I hear the post beep, everything spins up but no video. Tried different cards, monitors other slot etc but can't get any...
I've read a while ago you could mix thermal epoxy with thermal paste to create a removeable epoxy. Need to put heat sinks on a VGA card. Does anyone know proportions?
Guessing 1:1:1 of A:B:thermal paste.
Also what is good thermal paste to mix in. I have AS3, AS5, Silicone grease, and...
I have a new DFI expert that I set up using the nvidia raid drivers for a raid 0 with two sata drives. I did not use the nvida IDE driver because I never do out of zillions of previous recommendations. However, two different DVD burners seem flakey in the system and I was wondering if I should...
I built a new computer for my son with essentially all new parts and have it up and running.
What is the easiest way to get the dozens of games and saves etc from his old computer to the new one? I planned on doing a file save/transfer via windows but if my recollection is right it won't...

My old Apex combo died and needed a VCR for old tapes and found this unit. I like it since it's multi format on DVD's, has a display, component video out and is progressive scan. Funny, didn't see a better price on BF...
I just moved an evga nvidia 5900 into a computer (Soyo kt600) and I am getting the insufficient power message. Everything appears to be hooked up fine. This is the third computer I have had this card in and the first time the problem appeared. The power supply is a generic 500w that was mated...
I am going to upgrade from my old 4200 and have a choice of from the two used cards above. I have both on the table ready to go into two computers.
The card I don't use is going into a lite-use computer that could get away with less. I do some minor gaming so I'd perfer the 'better' card to...
Building a new computer. First time on a DFI nf4 ultra with a 160gb sata. Booted up posted fine used seagate tool on auto to prep the drive. Popped windows cd rom after reboot and it hung on detecting hardware. I checked everything and it looks fine. I put the seagate tools disk back in and now...
A friend of my son's had his epox 8rda and xp2500 go south. Popped capacitors on mobo and the processor is also dead. All the parts were about 2 years old. He wants to replace with new - good - fast and overclockable parts. This computer would be used about another year or two and then he'll go...
Cleaning out old word files and found a letter on the sony ps2 issue of Viewtiful Joe demo erasing memory cards. I submitted for one of the 'apology' games they offered and realized I never received it. Did anyone else? Wondering how much fun I can have on a phone with sony over this.
I have an internal 12-1 memory card reader and another usb reader that work on other xp home machines but will not work with one machine I need it to. Windows will not recognize it. How do I go about fixing this, I'm lost without plug-n-play.
I'm trying to install a foxxconn cr-g2h part 5503002 internal usb2.0 memory card reader in my main computer. Windows will not auto recognize. It will auto recognize and assign drives in a different computer. I've searched for drivers, inf's etc and can't find anything. Can anyone recommend a fix...
The card is new netgear wg311t wireless 108mbps. I installed in a new soyo kt600 mobo with an old xp2000 and windows home xp.

I have a shuttle xpc nforce2 that I swapped some parts around and installled a new 200gb Hdd cloned via ghost from an old 120gb. All the parts worked fine in the old computers. Moved the old parts to my "new" spare parts computer.
Replaced an xp2000/266 with an xp2800/333.(memory is 512 and 256...
Want to attach an old fairly heavy zalman gpu cooler to a gpu and want to remove it eventually.
I have heard about just using a dab of epoxy on the gpu corners and AS5 in the middle?
I have heard about mixing some AS with the epoxy but that just doesn't seem right?
Thin skim of epoxy?
Non...
Needed another 8 pin header for a usb front multi reader and found this at DVcentury:
select the 8 port option
Select the 8 port version for $.99 more. The card has 4 PCI rear external ports and internal 2- usb "A" ports and an 8 pin header. Appears you can use only the internal 2 ports or...
I put in a used geforce 3 vga card in a shuttle xpc. The vga fan is very loud and I want to use something silent. What fits in the xpc that works?
1. looked at the Zalman ZM80D-HP, but it looks huge for the xpc.
2. looked at the old Zalman zm17cu, but googling finds some reviews that...
Have xp2500 at 2.2 ghz in this computer which is pretty much maxed out for my cooling and system. I picked up a used xp2800 on rebuild I did, and have a choice of:
1. install the 2800 in this computer and will it clock higher than the 2500? Then move the 2500 to an XPC I am rebuilding.
2. or...
I want a wireless mouse/keyboard for my internet surfing daughter. She wants to sit on the couch and type or work on a large desk so wireless is the way to go.
Everyone recommends mx duo but is the the current best? (and by best I mean works well, doesn't eat batteries, doesn't lag, works...

Pulled a PNY gforce 3 card out of my Shuttle an35 ultra nforce 2 mobo for another build. Replaced with a new jetway 9600LE. ( from hot deals thankyou )
Didn't work, used nasty file remover to remove all nvidia, it did, including audio and mobo drivers - wasn't thinking. Reloaded drivers...
Anything usb won't work on boot up, if I unplug the device and replug into the same port once it is booted up, it is automatically recognized- even though it didn't a second before. Mobo is a biostar m7ncd and had a clean windows xp home load a week ago. If I plug into a usb 2 pci card and boot...
I just ordered a sonata case which I hope is nice and quiet. I'm probably going to order a vantec 120mm front fan from SVC and I was wondering about acoustic pads and if anyone has experience with this case or in general if the acoustic pads would work better. I'm interested if they work a...

I just bought a new netgear wgt624 b&g wireless router. I have two usb adapters Netgear ma101 B and syntax B. Both computers will drop out over and over again when the windows xp screen bubble appears "one or more wireless networks available". I then have to click on my "netgear" device from...
Not a bad deal on a decent corded keyboard if you can use the $20 gift voucher on a future purchase. I use a keyboard tray so I don't care about wireless and I buy a few games a year at EB Games so it works for me. I found this deal looking around other sites for a replacement for a Dr. Pepper...
I installed a new Shuttle An35n Ultra with onboard 6channel audio in my computer and inherited my son's Logitech z-640 speakers. He did not have any manuals or adapters. I don't know how to hook the logitech plugs to the onboard ac97 jacks and have been struggling for two days and logitech site...
