    Backed up MP3s to DVD now they won't play!

    I backed up my MP3s to disc, reformatted, copied the files onto the fresh install and BAM! They won't play. At all. On any software. The files still exist, they're the same size, but they just won't play. Any ideas? I'm dumbfounded!

    MSN Messenger problems, please help

    A friend of mine has been having problems with her MSN. For some reason, she cant logon at all. She tried and tried, even entering her secret question, yet it always said that she had tried to enter the password too many times and is locked out. No matter how long she waits, it gives her the...

    Create an NTSC DVD from a PAL?

    Players arent expensive i know that much, but this is for my parents. They dont want another player, they hardly watch movies. I realize that it might take a lot of work to do this, but i'd be willing to do it, if anyone knows how to do it. I dont particularily want to buy a 2nd copy of...

    Create an NTSC DVD from a PAL?

    I've tired doing that in a program, but it didnt make any difference. In DVD Shrink, i could choose region free, or what region i want the movie burnt in, but when i tried the disc in a player, it still said a problem the video. It needs more than just a region encoding, I need to change...

    Create an NTSC DVD from a PAL?

    I've got some PAL DVDs of my own that i want to make copies of for my parents to watch. The DVD player they have only supports the NTSC signal, so they can't watch these DVDs. Is it possible to make copy these discs and make them work? I've searched around, yet some of the answers i've...

    Audigy 2 ZS and Z680

    I just recently decided to pick up an Audigy 2 ZS and hooked it all up to my Logitech Z680 speakers. As i did a speaker test, all the channels said they worked correctly, yet my bass sounded very very quiet. Before when i was running onboard audio, I couldnt come close to max sub volume or it...

    Dumb Printer Problem.

    Ok, this is going way out on a limb here, but maybe someone can help me. Ive got a Canon I320 printer, and had used up the colour cartridge on it quite a while ago. It sat with no colour in there, and then finally i picked up one today and now, one of the nozzles doesnt work. I cant get any...

    Video Editing Question

    I've got a buddy who doesnt know a hell of a lot about computer parts. He just recently bought the bits to put together a new computer. He wanted it for video editing, as thats mostly what he will use it for. He said he asked around, and from what he heard, people told him to get certain...

    CL 2 ram compared to CL2.5?

    Ok, I'm sure this has been discussed a lot before hand, but i couldnt find a thread just discussing it, so i thought id bring it up. How much of a difference is there between ram rated at CL2 compared to CL2.5? I'm about to buy 1 Gig of ram, and well, i'd like to get something that runs well...

    BF Vietnam Soundtrack...

    IRC, the first official videoclip contained a CCR song. However, the song isn't on the official soundtrack EA were giving out when you preorder the game. What was the name of that song, and will it be included in the game?

    Ipod, Nomad Zen Xtra, or Rio Karma

    229 bucks for a 4GB player? Seriously, thats like throwing money away. I can get a 30 gig Zen Xtra for like 350 Canadian. Sure the ipod mini is awesome, but still, rip off for the size of it.

    Ipod, Nomad Zen Xtra, or Rio Karma

    I've spent a fair bit of time reading up on some of these MP3 players, and i'd have to say i think the Zen Xtra is probably the best of the bunch. If you're just looking to play music, the creative has the best sound quality out of all of them. Now, that is only if you get yourself a good set...

    Are you metrosexual?

    No, it isn't. You're claiming that "gay" and "pink" are mutually inclusive. Being a football fan doesn't make you heterosexual, so why should a pink shirt make you homosexual?

    Game voice software: MS Game Voice, Roger Wilco, or Teamspeak?

    Ok, my question here then would be, is there any way to have the sound of his voice come through my headset, yet the game sound come through the speakers? That would be ideal, but i don't think it works. Anyone?

    DVD video just doesnt look right?

    After playing a movie, and pausing it at an exact moment where a reviewer of a movie at IGN did, and where he took a screen capture of it, i'd say they look very similar, yet the colours look a little more vibrant on theirs, and the image is slightly sharper. I'm not quite sure what this would...

    No, i am running the desktop in 32 bit colour. But it does kind of look like the colours are in 16 bit in the movie. Not fully, just somewhat.

    DVD video just doesnt look right?

    I've been playing DVDs on my PC for ages now, and i've always noticed that they just don't look right. Almost like the colours are a bit bland. I'm running a Radeon 9800, so i know my card should make them look nicer than that, shouldnt they? I'm also running them on Win DVD platinum. Anyone...

    9800 and Overclocking.

    Well, see, no one is really answering my question. Sure i know it can overclock a bit....thats not what im asking. I want to know if it will damage it in the long run. As for overclocking, the Samsung 3.3ns ram supposedly doesnt just plain overclock as well as the 2.8, but if you flash it to...

    9800 and Overclocking.

    Well, becoming obsolete to me, might be different to someone else. I'd like this card to last me a while. Plus i dont plan to use any other fans or memory coolers on the card. Just stock.

    9800 and Overclocking.

    I recently bought a 9800 non pro and was thinking of flashing it to the pro. I have the Sapphire card with 3.3ns ram. My question is, would overclocking damage the card in the long run? I dont plan to push it any further than stock pro speeds, but i just dont want to have a damaged card in a...

    *** Official ASUS P4P800/Deluxe (865PE) Thread ***

    When i try to install the Intel Application Accelerator, it wont allow me. Says i dont have an 800 series chip. LoL. Bit odd. I tried using 2.3, and 2.2.2 (the one recommended for HT) and neither worked. Any clue what it could be?

    *** Official ASUS P4P800/Deluxe (865PE) Thread ***

    Try out some other games. See what happens. If the system runs for three hours with no problem, i hardly think its the system. But i could be wrong. Just try some other games first, then see. Also you could try running ASUS probe while the game plays, and then after an hour or so, go and check...

    You shouldnt have any problem with that ram at all. Check out the memory guide for the 865/875 boards from anandtech. That ram runs great with the board. http://www.anandtech.com/memory/showdoc.html?i=1828&p=2

    So how exactly do I set my video card to run at 4x? Shouldnt it automatically detect it? I havnt tried running it in Safe mode for a long time, but i did have it running in there at one point.

    A mess of computer problems.

    It can only run at 4x, so i am running it at 4x.....i think. The video card now runs fine in my old system. No problems. Yet not the new system.
