    HD Video issues

    In MPC Under Output-->VMR 7/9--> Surface it shows 3D surfaces(recommended) already checked. (And greyed out so I cant change it.)

    HD Video issues

    Unfortunately, GPU-Z cant read my core or memory speeds. The only program I've found that does is the AMD GPU tool. GPU-z shows what the defaults are, but not the current. And I've tried using RivaTuner, but cant seem to figure it out. Maybe something is missing. I guess there should be...

    HD Video issues

    Well, I can wait a few days until it comes out. What about tools to manually set my 2D GPU clock speed that works in Windows7? Or a tool that shows my GPU load?

    HD Video issues

    I don't think there is currently a trial available for CoreAVC. The web site has version 2 on it and the trial has been pushed from Jan 7 to "After Feb 15". I managed to find a 14-day trial of a previous version, but it needs a serial number and they aren't giving those out anymore. They...

    HD Video issues

    Lopri: I've tried it with the power profile set at High Performance. That doesn't help. The clocks go up to the 1.6Ghz mark when playing the content, so CnQ and the power profile are working properly. Athadeus: This laptop should be more than capable than playing 1080p. I mean an Atom/ION...

    HD Video issues

    I got a new laptop for Christmas: Acer Aspire 5517. It has Win 7 Home Premium, an Athlon 64 X2 TK-42 (1.6Ghz), 3GB PC2-6400, and an ATI Radeon HD3200 (RS780M). I've been having a couple of small issues on it and was hoping for a little help. I'm trying to play HD videos, but the sound...

    Wireless Video

    What devices did you try? Perhaps they have a better model. At least it's a starting point.

    Wireless Video

    That's exactly what I want. I can't believe that with all the wireless transmissions done, this isn't really possible. There's got to be some device that'll let me do it.

    Wireless Video

    It's easy enough to run a pair of cables from my PC to my TV, to send audio/video over, but is there something that allows me to do it via broadcast? All of the wireless solutions I can see have a sender module and a receiver module that broadcasts via the 2.4GHz frequency. I'm looking to find...

    Figuring Out Bluetooth

    I had questioned whether if this adpater supported A2DP and I'm brand spanking new to Bluetooth, but this guy (http://blog.raycasey.com/) seems to have had no problem with it working with this particular adapter. Though he did state: "A2DP profile to connect to my Sony Bluetooth speakers (but...

    Figuring Out Bluetooth

    I did install the drivers on the CD. I also installed the drivers off of the website as well. In Device Manager I see "Kensington Bluetooth EDR Dongle" with a Driver Provider of Broadcom and "Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator". Should I uninstall the MS one?

    Figuring Out Bluetooth

    When I view Bluetooth Devices I see: Audio Devices - Motorola DC800. Under it's Properties : Services Tab I see Audio Sink, Serial port (SPP) 'Dev B' COM3, and Unknown Service. And Under the Audio Tab I see Motorola DC800 - Stereo Audio Player, and Bluetooth Stereo Audio Device. They both...

    Figuring Out Bluetooth

    I'm posting this in A/V as I'm using it for A/V, but its as much a bluetooth question about an A/V product as anything. So here I am: I've bought a Kensington K33348B Bluetooth adapter for my PC and a Motorolla DC8000 Bluetooth Home Stereo Adapter for my home theater system. The DC800 has...

    PIO vs UDMA

    It seems to be working better with the new ULI driver. Unfortunately, it drops severely at about 85% which is about 137GB. I figured it had to be more than coincidence. An updated driver didn't help. I noticed a vague reference on a Linux system with this chipset that information past 137GB...

    PIO vs UDMA

    Denithor, Just to be clear: I'd tried everything on the page, but not in the replies. As I was scrolling through (envious of everyone who had found the miraculous solution to their problems) I noticed toward the end someone make mention of the ALI M5229 controller. I thought to myself...

    PIO vs UDMA

    Denithor, I've tried everything on that page, including the script. The script says it made the changes and to reboot. It has no effect. n7, I ran the short test without any problems. The long test is saying it'll take another 10 hours. Nothing I can do but wait. At this point all...

    PIO vs UDMA

    There are only 2 drives, the HDD and the DVD. The DVD is showing UMDA-2 I think. The HDD is showing PIO. I've checked and I'm working on the correct drive.

    Hard drive going out

    Is the drive warm when you touch it? Is it making any weird sounds? Is the BIOS not detecting it or the OS just not loading? If Windows is just not loading, it could be a corruption in the OS. If the BIOS isn't recognizing it, it could be a dying drive.

    PIO vs UDMA

    You may be thinking to yourself, "Hey, I remember these problems when XP first came out and MS fixed it with a SP or hotfix" or "Yeah, I've had to fix that in the past. All I've had to do is ...xyz". Well, this one is a bit more of a ah heck. First, a little back story: For those of you...

    Budget ~$200. MB+CPU+MEM

    ECS has posted a list of current boards that support AM3 procs. (l=ECS List] http://my.ocworkbench.com/bbs/...hp?p=441038#post441038 [/l] It gives credence to AM2 boards supporting AM3 chips.

    Budget ~$200. MB+CPU+MEM

    Thanks, I'll try to remember that. Actually, maybe a bookmark would be better. Back on topic. I know the NVidia GF9300/9400 Intel Chipset is new, but there have been some good reviews on it. Paired with a low-energy Core2Duo would provide a compelling solution, but you give up a few...

    Budget ~$200. MB+CPU+MEM

    From what I've read, AM3 chips will work in AM2+ boards as the memory controller will be compatible with both DDR2 and DDR3. I could be wrong, but I've seen alot over the past few months that allude to that. Also, how much video power do you need? I just built a 4850e/790GX/4GB DDR2-800 and...

    Onboard NIC disappeared

    At my work where we have 500+ machines, we get calls once or twice a month with this problem. For us, unplugging the power and ethernet cable from the machine for 15 minutes (less time may be fine) and then plugging the power back in, loading the machine, and then plugging the cable back in has...

    MSI KA780G

    So I can run 1 analog and 1 HDMI? Is that a feature of the chipset or is it implementation on the board?

    Have you tried running the system outside of the case? Also, since you've tried switching the case, MB and VC, have you checked your Power Supply?

    MSI KA780G

    I'm guessing the reason I can't find much info on this board is that it is new. Does anyone know if you can run 2 monitors on it at the same time? It has both VGA and DVI, but I'm not sure if they can be run at the same time. Thanks Edit: It also has HDMI. Can I use it as well as the...

    Backup software...

    Isn't that a client-side application? I'd like a piece of software that sits on the server and handles the clients on its own. Right now I have Cobian configured and it does a pretty good job, but I'm looking for something a bit more robust and on an enterprise level.

    Just got cable internet service and redid home network.

    I'd check the latency on the second side of the network. Have each PC ping your Gateway with the -250 switch to get a good data sample and check if your latency is higher in the second part of your network. You can also use tracert to yahoo and see if there is a difference.

    Windows Media player

    What I've done in the past is open WMP, move it to the second screen, maximize it, and then open the movie from within WMP. That usually forces it to play the video in the second screen only and it works even if you go fullscreen.

    Backup software...

    Anyone have any experience with domain-level backup software? I'd like the software to sit on the server without client installations and backup in a routine manner to a disk local to the server or to a disk on a NAS. Any help would be appreciated.

    USB Issue

    I, like many here I'd suppose, use a wireless adapter to connect to my router. I have 3 adapters, 2 Linksys and a Belkin, that I've tried. My problem is that I cant have both a WNIC and and ext-HDD plugged in at the same time. Whichever is plugged in first works. Whichever is plugged in...

    790GX vs Radeon 9600(se?)

    Is there another global database like 3DMark's? Does Source have one? I have a hard time believing it's 2x-3x faster even if the clocks are that high. There are so many other factors. If it is, that'd be great, but I'd still like to find some hard numbers. (Even soft and squishy numbers...

    790GX vs Radeon 9600(se?)

    Now, I don't want this to be a "Rate My Build" type of post, but sometimes it is difficult to find comparables across different generations of hardware. My wife's PC is currently a P4 2.8 w/ 1GB DDR400 and a Radeon 9600(se?). I think it's an SE although it has 256MB of RAM. I'm trying to...
