    Can't setup a new connection

    Reinstalled my brother's OS after one incident due to a stupid friend clicking links and downloading a mass of viruses.

    I can't enable Trimension through WinDVD

    Well, for starters the button is greyed which I don't know why because I do remember using it once. I tried google to see if someone else was having the problem. Hardware acceleration are both unchecked. Does Windvd just remember your preferences and makes you unable to change these settings?

    Having some problems with enabling onboard sound

    I've never used onboard sound, always had a card to output through my stereo. The board is an Aopen MK89-L and it's not working with me. I've setup the bios to use onboard, installed drivers, and even checked if maybe the lineout was muted in the volume settings. Everything is working fine...

    What is this vector based drawing that Vista will use?

    I was reading through a topic discussing future displays. One post mentioned that eventually resolutions will be done away with since everything will be vector-based. Could someone explain what this means and how it pertains to removing resolution settings? Thanks

    I have a question on hard drives

    Is it the data rate transfer that really handles the speed of the drive or is it the level of RPM's of the drive? I was always confused because (correct me if I'm wrong) I heard a while back that we don't even use up the bandwidth of IDE. Thanks

    Would it be practical for me to jump into HD-DVD?

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I always thought that higher resolution was intended for watching movies on large screens with loss of video quality from stretching. I understand that HD-DVD isn't just about video but I was questioning if the quality increase would be worth it. I know that's up to...

    Monitor settings randomized?

    I downloaded a 1080p video demo to get an idea what the next gen dvd will look like.

    My keyboard is going and a new one is on the way but I want to keep it clean and last longer. I despise cleaning keyboards since grime doesn't come off without a little force and I fear that may damage the keys. What would you recommend for a plastic covering I can take off and wipe down?
