    Looking for free, easy HD cloning software

    Thanks for the tips, I'll check those out. I got the HDD from a thrift store, so no luck on any included software. Both drives are WD. Thanks again!

    Looking for free, easy HD cloning software

    I've got a simple situation: a 10GB HDD that I have spend hours (more like days) getting just the way I want it. I need more storage, and 2 hard drives won't work. I need to clone the old stuff onto the new one (files as well as OS, settings, apps, etc), I just need the extra storage on a...

    FREE, full-featured Video Game trading site

    Each site has it's pro's and con's for sure, but for free, it doesn't hurt to be a member at all the good sites. I've secured half of my collection on GameTZ, but there is also DigitPress (forums and price guides), and specialized sites like NESWorld.

    FREE, full-featured Video Game trading site

    Interesting point, but you could also argue that, while missing out on that purchase, the 2nd-hand consumer is getting exposure to a franchise that they might then patronize frequently. Case in point, I got Zelda for N64 used for $5, and got so hooked on the series that I have preorded all...

    FREE, full-featured Video Game trading site

    There is a feedback system, so you can trade with people who have good feedback. If they are new, have them send first. I've always had good luck, but nothing is foolproof. If you buy items, it's as safe as eBay, I guess, paying with PayPal.

    COOLER MASTER Elite 330 Mid-Tower Case - $25AR @ ZZF

    It's hard to tell from the pics and description, but I think I know the answer: Does this come with fans or not?

    How to I convert RF (coax) to RCA/S-video

    Nice! Now if I can find a similar product in the $10-$20 range I'll be happy, since this is a temporary fix. I was hoping there would even be a cable or splitter solution, versus another black box sucking up AC. I do have a VCR, and I suppose I can hook it up out of the way. Thanks for...

    How to I convert RF (coax) to RCA/S-video

    Here is my problem: My TV has coax in (as well as RCA and S-video in), but no audio out. I am pulling network TV off the air with rabbit ears, and it's fine for what I need (which is FREE tv). My problem is, I have a surround sound unit, and I'd like to use it for TV, even if is is just going...

    Zelda: Twilight Princess (Game Cube) $37.99

    If I print this off, do you think BB would price match? I have a gift card I need to use.. Also, PriceGrabber is showing this at 28.99 from Deep Discount DVD, any experiences with them? http://www.deepdiscountdvd.com/dvd.cfm?itemid=GCX696307 (not up yet, but it's the link from...

    Green spot in the center of old home movies (VHS)

    I just got a DVD recorder to transfer old home movies to DVD from VHS. I popped in an old home video, and it's got a really distracting bright green blob in the center that never goes away. Any ideas? Is the tape damaged, or could the VCR be? Any chance of removing these? I tried another...

    Need help with some kind of IE virus/spyware/adware

    That' dmjxo.exe is what I think the problem is. During an AVG scan, there was a 'Reading Error" on that one item. Suspicious. All I need is the go-ahead to delete it.. Thanks for the tip on CWShredder, it came out clean, though.

    Putting together a huge slide show...

    I don't know if this will help with the clips, but I did a similar slide show for my sister's wedding. I just put the pictures on the CD, and used Windows built-in slideshow. I couldn't find a good (free) slideshow program to save my life. Have you thought about PowerPoint? Sure there's a...

    Need help with some kind of IE virus/spyware/adware

    I was messing around where I know I shouldn't have been, and I think I caught something. It's my trip to Singapore all over again! Just kidding, here is what's going on: I have scanned using AVG (I know, it's no good..), SpyBot, and Hijack This. I've found and deleted any viruses or...

    Please help me troubleshoot my Road Runner connection!

    That's what I'm saying, because the ping test is normal, they won't come out. They insist it's a virus or spyware, and if I tell them I've scanned, they tell me to try different software. I will try again, it seems like the only way. Thanks for the suggestions..

    Please help me troubleshoot my Road Runner connection!

    Here is the situation. Two wires got crossed in the wall and one side of my apartment lost power. When it was fixed, and I went through the power-up sequence on my cable modem and computer, it now runs slower than dial-up. There is a 15 to 25 second blank screen when I surf to any page, then...

    GameTZ is now FREE

    Exactly, it is more about trade. But also, if you just want to buy and sell, there are no fees on top of everything. The best part is that on eBay, you buy what they list. On this board, it's more dynamic and you can ask for additional items and work out packages, then save on shipping. Ebay...

    Need to switch hard drives on a Mac, don't have discs!

    One more question. Say I get the divx working on here, how can I use the IR port with some kind of remote control?

    Need to switch hard drives on a Mac, don't have discs!

    You think? That could make my day! I guess it's worth a shot. I'll dump another HDD in there when I get a chance. Any other thoughts? Another question, how do I strip down the OS without the disc? I want to get rid of anything I don't need to play Divx, but I remember from the old days...

    Need to switch hard drives on a Mac, don't have discs!

    One more question, is it possible to switch OS's like that? If I hook up 2 hard drives, can I just copy everything from one to the other and pull the original? Surely not, right? I'm glad you mentioned that, I just checked the Divx specs and you need at least 500mhz. Thanks for saving me...

    Need to switch hard drives on a Mac, don't have discs!

    I just got a cheap mac that I'd like to convert to a Divx box. Right now it has a 4gb hard drive, and I want to switch it out. The problem is, I got this machine at a Thrift store, so there is not OS 9 disc(s). Is there a way to get the OS off the machine (maybe over a network) onto another...

    Need help making my own parallel port to NES cable

    Ok, here is a question for the elctronics gurus out there. I bought an NES piano, and it has a parallel port. http://www.planetnintendo.com/thewarpzone/piano.html It originally came with a parallel to NES cable, but that's gone. I have an old printer cable that fits, I have an old...

    Need help making an old TV card work!

    I bought an AI Tech Net-TV98, it works fine and XP sees it. There are 2000/XP drivers on the website, but I con't get the thing to install or work. It's in the Device Manager with a yellow '!' as "Multimedia Controller" and "Multimedia Video Controller". When I Add New Hardware and point it...

    DEAD - Top Loading NES clone for $25.95 shipped

    I got one of these on eBay and I'm very happy with it. It played some of the later/rare games that I have, so that's a good sign. It does feel a little cheap and light, but it's amazing how small it is. CAUTION: There are two versions of this console floating around! Make sure you get...

    I have been a paying member of GameTZ, the Game Trading Zone, for years. Just today removed the fees and opened up the site. Considering the cost has been $5 for 2 months, this is a fairly warm deal for what you get. The best part of the site (besides the forums) is the item/offer system...

    awesome free game

    WOW! Thanks OP, you have no idea how long I have looked for this game! I used to play it on the Mac back in 8th grade (15 mhz Performa, geez) and I never could find it on the PC. I used to be the master, time to brush up. Thanks so much!

    Free USB Hub Power Bar AR

    This item makes my head hurt. I don't think I understand what it does, and I really should. If you are in a room that has one outlet, and your computer has one USB port, and you are so limited on space, then I guess this is the product for you. It's been said before: the price is right.

    *free*Knight Online

    VirtualLarry: The game itself is legit, however there are people within the game who can steal your stuff. I don't think the game download itself contains any viruses, or spyware for that matter.

    *free*Knight Online

    I was reading through the forums while I was waiting for my download to finish. Looks like there are a couple of fatal flaws, but still might be worth the bother, for free that is. For one thing, some of the game elements like 'manner points' are not in place yet. But more troubling, there is...

    Hard disk not accepting Windows XP

    Ok, I downloaded and ran Memtest86 (not 386) from a bootable disc, and it had "unexpected halts" for two different tests. Does that mean my RAM is no good? I know it sounds like a dumb question, but there were 0 errors at the time of halt, why wouldn't it just say "error"? Thanks all.
