    Logitech USB Mic not working in Vista

    I have a boring microphone, of the silver desktop Logitech USB variety that I've seen several people have. It's pretty good, and I used it in Vista RC2 to test out the voice control stuff to great success. However, after a long time of using RC2, it just.... stopped working. I am unable to...

    Why Vista?

    I was traditionally a begrudged Windows user, forced to put up with security holes and instability to run the programs I wanted. XP kept me from jumping ship by being merely tolerable; it was very stable except for drivers, mainly video. Security still sucked, especially until Service Pack 2...

    Disabling unnecessary services on Vista

    You mean Microsoft didn't actually put in several hundred MBs of services that have no real purpose?!?! Why not?

    Vista's DRM cracked!

    Since when does Vista have DRM? Vista nerely supports DRM, which is something implemented on MEDIA FILES to restrict content. Vista only supplies a secured path so that content does not shut itself out completely... And this guy is only talking about getting past the requirement for signed...

    vista RC2

    Remember, Microsoft has to pay for these codecs; they needed to test them in the betas obviously, but it would have been unreasonable to license the codec for every beta tester. Apparently they just bargained a deal with whoever supplied the codec that allowed them to include it as long as it...

    New Intel Roadmap! HT tech for 45 nm confirmed?

    A Reasonable Criticism of Windows Vista

    Sarcasm is a tone of irony. The definition of irony stipulates that there must be a third enlightened party observing one party playing a joke or trick on another, who falls for it because they are ignorant unlike the observer. WE are the enlightened party here, and the joke is VISTA! How...

    A Reasonable Criticism of Windows Vista

    Why Windows Vista Sucks: I've endured using Vista's Beta versions for over half a year now, so I am fully qualified to make the declaration that in truth, it sucks. Hard. Let's start with bloat, and boy, is there bloat. I have two gigs of RAM, and Vista has no problem wasting over half...

    XBOX 360 or Wii

    If you want cutting edge next-gen graphics, intense online multiplayer, and downloadable content out the wazoo... get a 8800GTX. If not, get a Wii. If you picked the graphics card... still get a Wii. Seriously, Wii is one of the most impressive consoles I've ever had, and it hasn't reached...

    Wii and it's 480p

    ...but that $300 figure for the 360 blissfully ignores extra and inevitable associated costs... Fore example, Dreamcast was for awhile free with commitment to sega's online service, so was the Dreamcast a free system? The fact is, Wii costs considerably less than the 360 at the expense of...

    Wii and it's 480p

    Don't be ridiculous; The Xbox 360 is for all intents and purposes $400, as no sane human should ever be allowed to buy the cut-down "core" version. Face it, the fact that the core SKUs make up such a small percent of the total shipments and isn't even present in some markets is a clear...

    Vista RC2 can't see anything on the local network...

    I've been a vista user since Beta 2, and a happy Vista user since RC1. However, a certain odd factor has reared its head... I can't see ANYTHING on my dorm's local network! (And they can't see me!) Where it is just browsing or setting up a game server, I'm out of the loop. However, access to...

    ATI Video Drivers for Vista Pre-RC1?

    The x86 Beta 2 drivers are giving me errors when I try to start the installer... I'm assuming the defualt drivers are not optimal, but has ATI produced anything for later builds than Beta 2? What about a manual install, all the files are there...

    Gaming @1920x1200 resolution. What kind of proc and video card would a system need?

    First, many games support widescreen, especially new ones. It is rare that one doesn't, such as Battlefield 2. Second, 1920x1200 isn't as extreme as you seem to have the impression it is. Some people play games at 2560x1600! I run my 2405FPW on a single X1800XT 512MB. It could be better...

    Can anyone keep ownership of their computer after Vista?

    Markbnj, thank you for your crystal-clear perspective on this whole ordeal. "The giant corporate legion of evil" idea seems to take reasonable examination and skepticism of businesses to a level of cult-like fanaticism. Talk about paranoia... Microsoft is hardly the kindest of companies, but...

    Your experience with Vista Beta 2

    Alright, time to finally put down my Vista impressions; this is as good a place as any. First lets talk about the eye candy. I'm not quite sure why people are so hostile about it... (Many were mad with XP too...) Sure, it doesn't make anything better, but it doesn't make it worse; it's like...

    Windows Vista Performance Rating (Built in benchmarking in Vista?)

    Based on what I've seen here, the RAM ratings seem.... weird. CPU: 3.4 (1.8 Ghz A64) RAM: 5.1 (2GB) HDD: 4.0 (70GB free) GPU: 5.9 (X1800XT) VRAM: 5.8 (512MB)

    error code 80070241 in vista

    Why a hardcore AGEIA pusher is turning to embrace ATI's solution.

    Let me first say that this thread is not for those who maintain delusions that either we don't need more physics processing power, or that mere extra CPU cores can meet our needs. There is no place for irrational fear of technological progression here. Let's take a look back at how this...

    Will any current cards support Direcx10

    Nah, I reckon DirectX 9's updates can only go so far. Remember that key to DirectX 10 is the revised driver model that Vista uses, something XP would never be able to emulate.

    ATI pipeline VS Nvidia

    Really long story short, those are just pixel piplines. Both cards have 16 texture units and ROPs, and both have 8 vertex pipelines. ATI's huge advantage only shows itself when a game is very much pixel-shader limited.

    Battlefield 2 (1.3 Patched) giving constant VPU Recovery Errors

    These huge pauses keep interrupting my game. The video card "restarts" (I can hear the fan stop and then start again) and I'm left without picture or sound for about 20 seconds. Luckily, thanks to VPU Recover to whatever, it does come back. However, usually it is the 3rd or fourth time that...

    Thinking of going X-box for Oblivion...but have a question first...

    *Chuckles while going back to Oblivion at graphical levels well-exceeding the 360* The 360 is only 1280x720, with HDR and 2xAA, and ZERO AF! And less draw distance! All this, for 30 FPS maximum and considerable drops in both GPU limited and especially CPU limited areas. A X1900XT with a...

    Ageia PPU...maybe not so great after all.

    (EDIT: I am assuming "it" refers to physics acceleration in general, and not just AGEIA's single product.) More or less, yes. Opposing physics acceleration is like having opposed 3D acceleration back in the day... Any person who calls themself a technology enthusiast and yet scoffs at new...

    Ageia PPU...maybe not so great after all.

    How stupid can you get; this is like going from Intel Graphics at 480x640 to an X1900XT at 1920x1200 with 6xAAA and 16XAF, everything on high with HDR. Yes, your frames may go down, but... DUH. The point of the physics card isn't to give us 2 extra FPS, it is to change gaming as we know it...
