    FRAPS codec issue

    I am trying to record a short clip of a game I am playing and it seems to record just fine. However, when I try to replay this clip, it ends up crashing Windows Media Player. On the other hand, when I import it into Windows Movie Maker, the video works just fine in there. I do not have any codec...

    Wondering if I should get an amp

    Well through gifts I have accumulated an Alpine head-unit and some Rainbow IQ speakers. I'm wondering if I spend a little extra money on an amp or just install the system without one. What do you audiophiles think? Are amps worth it for car systems? Will the headunit be sufficient to drive these...

    Logitech DiNovo Laser

    I really like this combo with the dinovo kb and mx1000 mouse, but after reading some reviews, it seems like this model is plagued with a tedious setup, connection problems, shorter battery life, and latency issues. Why can't they stick to FastRF or at least get the BT version working just as...

    Accessing root/title menu in MCE2K5

    My current setup includes MCE2K5 with the nVidia Purevideo decoder. I did not purchase the remote so I am wondering how I would be able to get to the root/title/chapter menu of a DVD in Media Center without going through all of the previews and once it has started playing. I am able to access a...

    My 6600GT exploded...

    Well the story goes like this... I purchased a Chaintech PCIE 6600GT dual dvi version which seemed to work fine although the temps always seemed to run a bit high. I did not overclock anything and everything was running at stock speeds. It would run all the 3dmarks just fine and never...

    USB Bluetooth Adapter and USB Wireless Adapter

    I know they both use the 2.4 GHz frequency(B+G) so I was wondering how much impact one would have on another. I know some laptops come with both built-in wireless and bluetooth so I don't know if it cripples the range of either. I plan to have these plugged into a stacked USB port on my desktop...

    Limited or no connectivity with WXP SP2

    Pretty much what the title says. I am using a Belkin F5D7050 Wireless G USB adapter. No firewall installed with the exception of the SP2 firewall(which I have tried both enabled and disabled). I have also tried using the wireless utility provided with Belkin and the windows zero config with...

    Belkin Wireless G USB Adapter @ CompUSA

    One of the rebates(Belkin) expire on 10/30 so get it if you need it. The Belkin rebate requires the original UPC while the CompUSA one just requires a copy. Both will accept a copy of the reciept IIRC. Link...(to the past) Edit: added link :P

    Credit card gave me $20 to burn

    Or else they take it away. I was thinking about maybe a Muvo TX FM 512MB from buy.com with a coupon so that it would be <$100. Then again I could get a 512MB MMC card for my cell phone. Yet again there could be the option of an NEC 3500A. I don't know. Any suggestions of anything else? I'd...

    Creative Muvo TX FM vs Sandisk MP3 Companion

    Pretty much what the topic says. I know the Muvo TX FM has radio so I guess a more equal comparison would be the Muvo TX. However I was wondering what the audio quality was compared to each other and possibly other alternatives out there. What about battery life? I've heard the Sandisk can...

    Ultima VIII: Pagan

    I remember playing this game a long time ago but unfortunately, it is a DOS game. I really want to play it through this time but the only problem I have is getting the sound to work. The installer for the game only offers certain IRQs and I/O in which my sound card does not fall under. Switching...

    Sandisk Cruzer Micro MP3 Companion

    I know this product just came out recently but I was just wondering if anyone here has it and could give some opinions about it. For example, how is the music quality and battery life? Is it easy to navigate? I am trying to decide between this or getting a 512MB MMC for my cell phone which also...

    D-Link DI-514 will not renew DHCP

    PQI 512MB USB2 Flash Drive for $73AC

    Saw this on Techbargains and also take a look there for the coupon. Basically what the title says. It seems alot thinner than other flash drives I've seen but I guess it begs the question of whether or not it is sturdy enough. It comes with a regular USB port adapter and an extension cable...

    Clearing USB Device Name/Numbering

    Multi-channel sound on a laptop

    I was just curious if any laptops out there are capable of outputting multi-channel sound. For instance, for 4.1 it requires 2 plugs, and for 5.1 and above, it requires 3 plugs or a single digital one. I know somewhere I've seen some software that changes the layout of the Line out, Line in, and...

    Klipsch ProMedia 4.1 $119.99 @ eCOST

    Did a search and havent seen this posted yet, but it seems like a warm to semi-hot deal. Note that they are refurbished though. I also checked on the Klipsch website to see if they had any refurbished ones left but to no avail so this may be the cheapest deal for these speakers around.

    MONSTER CABLE XGL400 CVAA-10 GameLink? 400 X @ WaveStereo for 41.86+S&H

I don't know if these cables are significantly better than the $20 micro$oft ones, but it's a lukewarm deal if...

    Intel Socket T - Pentium V

    This looks pretty interesting and more info can be found here. Since this article is a little dated, I've heard new information about it such as the pin count being around 900 (but less than the A64) and the launch period is around May 2004. In addition, I've heard Dell is working closely with...
