    Two USB devices not working, others are.

    Tried a hub, no change. Grabbed a spare hard drive, fresh install of W10, devices working. I may just go that route soon.

    Two USB devices not working, others are.

    The devices do not show up. I didn't expect to see D2 as it's brand new but not seeing D1 seems strange. Tried Device Cleanup Tool as well, which shows non-present devices, nothing. Shut the PC down, disconnected all USB devices, booted W10, shutdown, connected only the KB/TP and D1, no...

    Two USB devices not working, others are.

    Device 1: iFi nano iDSD audio interface, USB2 I've been using it for over a year, including Saturday night. On Sunday I rebooted the PC, nothing else, and now it's gone from Windows 10. Uninstalled/reinstalled the driver, tried five different ports, front and back. The kicker is that the...

    People who experience stutters, in GTA V or any other games

    I had the same experience after disabling the page file on my rig. Played GTA, still seeing usage.

    Somewhat quiet upgrade from GTX670 4GB?

    Looked at some 970s on NewEgg tonight and I see coil whine mentioned left and right. My setup is for audio, with a side of gaming, and I hate noises like that. Fans are fine, so long as they're quiet during normal operation. 1080P gaming, rig in sig. Any suggestions?

    Are new vinyl pressings better than long ago pressings?

    Actually, the new remasters are much better than 1. What a joke that was, sonically.

    I wondered about the legality of all that. Anyway, your loss as it's well done.

    windows media player won't play cd

    Four days and no replies? Really? Are they burned CDs or factory pressed? How about trying Foobar2000? I don't play CDs these days, I rip them to FLAC first using Exact Audio Copy. There are guides out there for setting the software up. It's a pain the first time, but very easy after that.

    Dual Subs ?

    Two or more subs are generally preferred. 1. Lower distortion. Assuming you don't use two to gain volume, though you may with a room that big, they would each be working less to produce the same level. 2. Better acoustic interaction with the room. Not sure I can explain this well, but it...

    Dolphin Emulator?

    Thanks for this thread, I hadn't used Dolphin in a while. Just made it to world 3 in Newer Super Mario Bros Wii. If you like NSMB Wii, be sure to check it out. 1080p, with 2-4x internal resolution, depending on the level. I could just leave it at 2, but some play fine at 4. Same thing...

    Steam page shows 3 announcements coming

    Oh snap, it didn't quote the post before. Don't use this board much. Anyway, that was one of the best replies I've ever seen. Sorry for crapping in the thread.

    I'm working with 400+ computers that I would like to print in Draft mode. I've done a good bit of searching and haven't found a solution. Any suggestions?

    Thank you Codemasters...

    For GTAIV, get Xliveless. A simple DLL that bypasses GFWL, Rockstar Social Club and puts the save files in a normal place. http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=388658 That, plus patch 1.0.4.0, plus a noCD EXE, plus ENB, plus texture mods and the game is actually pretty damn...

    Finally getting around to rooting my Droid, which ROM to choose?

    Which recovery are you using? I believe there are some issues with the most recent CW. I used SPRecovery to install everything and it worked flawless. Also, it's in ROM Manager, but that didn't work for me and others. SPRecovery is the way for right now. There's a thread at droidforums.net...

    Finally getting around to rooting my Droid, which ROM to choose?

    I'm running Sapphire 0.8.4 right now with P3Droid's 125-1100 kernal, and Alternate Dark theme (includes ADW Launcher). Best setup I've had on my Droid yet (Mostly ran BB, also Cyanogen, UD and a couple others). This rom is built from the ground up, including the vendor setup (most people use...

    Yes, plaguing the forum with another videocard upgrade advice thread ($250)

    Thanks for starting this thread. I have a 8800GTS 512mb and I'm looking to spend $200-300. Finding this was awesome! I recently picked up a BenQ W1000 1080p projector. It rocks, but it doesn't play nice on my desktop at 1920x1080 60hz. I have to run it at 50hz or the image quality is...

    Swype for SmartPhones, anyone else try it yet?

    So close to buying a Droid...

    I think the physical keyboard sucks on the Droid (owner here, first smart phone though, so no ties to physical or SW keyboards). There's no spacing between the keys and they're small (big hands here). A gamer version with a d-pad and some buttons or just an empty space for a cleaning cloth...

    That was my pain as well, though on a lesser scale. My conclusion: shipping overseas sucks.

    International shipping questions

    I shipped an envelope w/ two CDs in one case to the UK the other day. I went through the USPS for $12.30. For a medium package, up to 1lb., I believe it's about $25. Snooping? Maybe, but doubtful. Depending on what you label the contents as. I labeled mine as "Gift - Used CDs", just as the...

    Thinking of switching Auto/home insurance to Ameriprise (Costco)

    While one pays for a broker, they are paying for them to do the dirty work among several companies. Brokers understand the business and the coverages and are often connected with quality companies that most have not heard of as they don't advertise like the majors. They also don't have the...

    What do you think of the Panasoning 42" Plasma for gaming monitor?

    42" plasma user here. I've had it setup as my PC monitor for almost two years. Many hours with the browser up, many hours gaming with a hud (GTAIV most recently). No permanent image retention issues. It's been great. I find the color reproduction to be wonderful (my goal is accuracy, not...

    bookshelves vs floorstander speakers for music
