    Recording software for Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1600

    I have a side project where I wanted to record some of my old VHS tapes to a digital format using an old Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1600 PCI card. I tried using the older Huappauge WinTV v6 software and the video is extremely choppy. I found VirtualDub and that seemed like it would work great. I...

    Computer Build - Dartfish Pro Video Analysis

    They are going to get a quote through a vendor and I am doing this so they can compare. I think they can get a way better deal with me building the computer. They will compare in the next week and decide what way they want to go. The IBM they have been using is way under spaced. The extra...

    Trouble Activating Vista

    I'm really suprised that the Vista DELL OEM disk will not work on your computer. Typically if a Dell computer has drivers for an OS (Win7/Vista) then that model computer will work with the OEM disk. http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/Product/vostro-1520 Your computer has Win7 &...

    Problem with Dell computer - won't get past POST

    What model computer? What version BIOS? You said it was 5 years old? Was it one of the Dell computers that was having capacitor leak problems? Look to see if any of the caps are bulging or leaking liquid from the top. Normally the caps that have problems are near the RAM or processor.

    All of a sudden my USB mouse and keyboard won't work

    Try a windows repair. Boot off the CD - Enter to install - Windows CD will search for previous versions and SHOULD find your load of windows. Do a repair install from there. Repair install should not make you loose any programs or docs, but its always good to do a backup.

    WIRELESS INTERNET ISSUES

    Have you tried moving the desktop closer to the router as a test? Power cycling router (unplug, wait 15 sec, plug back in)? Have you tried wired (as suggested from pradeep1)? I would try these tests before buying anything new.
