    VGA to DVI...loss?

    I wasn't really thinking when I bought my graphics card 8 months ago now, but it has 1 DVI port and 1 VGA port. What I am thinking about is going dual screen. Is using a converter, VGA to DVI, totally pointless? Analog can't be up-converted to digital, can it? Will the (if there is) decrease...

    Desktop icons move

    I have these 8 desktop icons at the most bottom right corner of my screen. Whenever I log off then log back on, 4 of them that were in the top row have moved all the way to the top right corner of the screen. I don't know what is causing this, probably an awful Windows bug. If I turn off "align...

    Bum computer

    Ok. So I was playing a game, then my computer crashes. The first thing that happened was my monitor went blank, as if it were switching resolutions (I have a CRT) and then it said there was no input signal. I said to myself, "just a glitch" and hit the reset button on my computer. But instead of...

    Sluggish response when using console/tuner

    I have an ATI TV tuner box for my PC, and recently hooked up my Xbox to it to play it on my monitor. When I started playing a game, the FPS called Halo 2, my controller response time was EXTREMELY delayed. This never happens on my TV, and I noticed this was the same problem I was experiencing...

    Changed icon, but doesn't change

    I have a program shortcut on my desk, and with a recent update for it it got a new icon. Now, the day I installed the update it displayed the new icon, but today it displays the old one. I tried changing it to the new one again, but it stays on the old one. Do I have to delete something in my...

    Wireless signal drop out

    I have been having this problem for quite some time now. I am running my computer on a wireless connection, and every few hours or so, it will lose the connection for a second and then reconnect. At first I thought it was my wireless device. So i returned it and went back to using my other one...

    Router problems & Ventrilo

    For the past month or so, I have been trying to run a Ventrilo VoIP server on a computer I hardly use. I have a router, so I have to forward ports for everything (of course). Recently I had reset my router to factory because I couldn't get into it via web browser. Then I added the port I needed...

    Samsung drives don't burn .CUE's?

    I have tried two trusted .CUE sheet burning programs with my drives, and none of them pick them up. One of the drives I have in this rig now used to be in my old one, and programs on there didn't pick it up either; they did pick up however, the second drive in there that was made by a different...

    Router not accessible

    I have now reset my router at least 3 times, triple checked settings, but I still can't get into the device by browswer to configure it! You would think resetting it would fix most problems (which it usually does, for me), but no. This time it had to stop letting me in completely. Any ideas...

    [Solved] Ethernet port...but wireless

    This may seem like an odd situation...because it is. Here's the story: I originally got an MN-740 game adapter off of eBay, for exactly what it's meant for. Then I built a custom PC, and wanted Internet on it of course, but upstairs where there's no modem. So I took the MN-740 off my game...

    Modbin/Modbin6/CBRom

    I was wondering if anyone knew anything about these programs, and how they work in hand with BIOS modding. I have downloaded my current bios, but none of the Modbin programs open it. I don't have the first clue how to work Modbin6, but Modbin 4.50.80 only picks up .BIN files. If I'm correct, to...

    Computer boots BY ITSELF

    This is really starting to weird me out a bit, because every time (or 95% of the time so far) when I shut my new custom built pc down, it stays off for about 5 secs, then comes right back on. And I don't even touch a thing. What is going on, how do I solve it? I'm not sure if this theory is...

    [Sort of resolved?] CD in = no computer functionality

    Ever get that problem where you put a CD in your drive, and it keeps constantly reading it for no apparent reason, locking down your PC? No? Well that's the problem I have. And I would like to know how to solve it :)

    Reset defaults?

    I was wondering, since I hit "Load Optimized Defaults" on my motherboard (though it didn't appear to do anything), how can I restore the "true" defaults on my motherboard?
