    Using LCD monitor with DTV converter box

    You guys are right. It won't work that way. I guess I'll have to get an USB tuner and use the monitor along with my laptop.

    Using LCD monitor with DTV converter box

    I have an extra Samsung LCD monitor with built-in speakers and VGA and DVI port. I'm wondering if I can use a DTV converter box to watch TV on this monitor. Basically, I'm looking for a VGA to RCA (yellow and/or red, white) adatper. There are many on sale online but they're designed for...

    **** 12 MILLION POI for Mio C230 ONLY ****

    You have to create folders and put these map files in /miomap/maps on your SD cards. Remove maps on your Mio after that. You can leave the base map there. It will combine maps from both locations. Btw, if anyone still have the Mio c310x, these maps will also work with v3.3.

    Defrag issues

    You should install games on a separate drive. It runs faster that way. It could be that the built-in defrag tools did a worse job than it should. Try Diskeeper. It's rated top for hard drive defragmentation.

    Command, utility to view services in Windows

    Anyone knows a good utility or a command in DOS prompt to view more information about a service used in Windows? I ran msconfig and it tells service name but I need to know what files that service uses and location of those files. Thanks.

    HDD cache question?

    Yep.... when the 8MB came out vs. the 2M cache for HDs, it made some difference because back then people were switching from Win 98 to 2000 and XP with NTFS which allows large files over 4GB. Also back then, SATA drives weren't available. Nowadays, HDs are so fast so the cache plays less roles...

    Bigger HDs run hotter?

    I'm using mobile racks for several PATA IDE drives I have here. One is an old IBM 7200RPM 2MB cache, the other, a Seagate 160GB 7200RPM 8MB cache. Within 5-10 min w/o using, temperature as reported by the mobile rack's LCD is around 35C on the IBM, while the Seagate would show little over 40C...

    Any good HD partition & cloning software?

    Please recommend one. I need one that can boot from CD and let me delete, creat resize and make image of partition or entire hard disk. So far I've been using Partition Magice for partitioning but the software is old. Norton didn't put out any version since v8. I've used Ghost, Apricorn EZ Gig...

    Vista Activation changed motherboard

    MS is getting aggressive on copyright protection. This means you have less rights as computer owner. The Vista DVD you get with your system will not activate if you change your hardware, motherboard or CPU. HD or memory change is okay. Good luck calling them. Unlikely that they will let you...

    Windows Vista & 4GB memory

    It turned out I checked the memory after Vista went into standby (it switched out to the login screen and required me to log back in). If I check memory right away, it shows I have about 1.6G free. So basically there's no difference in performance and memory usage if I run 3GB (2+1) instead...

    Vista won't let me partition properly

    Your HD died, how? Try using the manufacturer's tool to low level fomat it. That will wipe out everything and possibly fix any bad sectors too. Then use a partitioning tool like Norton Partition Magic to partition the C: first, leave the rest blank. Once you get Vista installed on C: you can...

    Inspiron 6000 - 4gb possible?

    2GB Max. I just tried the other day. Put in 2x2GB OCZ 667Mhz and it immediately switched off after powerring on. I took one one out, and put in one 1GB from Crucial for 3GB, it turned on but BIOS only showed 2GB. Same thing happened if I leave only one 2GB in. So max per slot is 2GB, max total...

    Windows Media Player WMP 10 upgrade

    Thanks for all replies. I also used Winamp, and Classic Media Player (in k-lite codec pack). They are also great programs. I wish MS could bundle DVD playing capability into WMP w/o forcing you buying a separate codec. I could play DVD w/ my old WMP9 but that's because I have an old ver of...

    Vista and XP dual boot

    Thanks for all replies. Luckily, my Lenovo model was sold with either XP or Vista so they have drivers for XP online. I've divided my HD into 2 partitions, C & D. So XP will go first to C: then Vista to D: later. Should I make a small E: partition for data? If you already have Vista on...

    The Keeper, Thanks for your info there. That's pretty useful. indigo196, Yah, I wish I can run 64bit OS on this Lenovo. It seems to run faster than the original Business Lenovo installed w/ all those trial things. Now I remember, free memory reported was about 1000MB on that too. So...

    Installing Vista SP1 on a fresh Vista install.

    I would do drivers later. If you it first, SP1 may override some. If you do later, Vista will stop OEM manufacture installer from deleting any built-in MS drivers. Actually it may not matter, but if you put SP1 first, it may have new generic driver so you dont have go download from your...

    Windows Vista & 4GB memory

    I installed Vista Ultimate, then updated to SP1. Right after logging in, My Computer / Properties shows 4GB. I know it can only use 3.1GB anyway. Hitting Control Alt Del to bring up Task Manager and in Performance, I see only about 900MB free. It says total in MB: 306x, Cached 15xx Without any...

    Windows Media Player WMP 10 upgrade

    Okay, I've been using the old WMP ver 9 with my XP Pro. After validating my copy, they allow a download to upgrade to ver 10 which come with XP Media Center only. Is it worth the upgrade? Also, I've notice, sometiems when I play an mp3 file downloaded from the internet, my WMP would change the...

    Vista and XP dual boot

    I have a Lenovo w/ Vista Busines installed but it's so loaded with trialware so I plan to wipe it out and use my own CD. I also want to put on XP. The HD is 200GB so should be big enough. My question is which OS should I install first. Also, if you have a 3000N Lenovo series, which software is...

    Copying/cloning hard drive

    Thanks for your quick reply. I believe I can find TrueImage which is made by Acronis? I heard of that before. So did you have to install the app and run it inside Windows or you can boot from CD and do it there? And if you have to resize partition, what software you use besides the old famous...

    Copying/cloning hard drive

    Just wondering if it's possible to completely copy a 100GB laptop hard drive to a smaller one (so I don't have to reinstall everything)? I have one slow laptop w/ a 100GB but only use like 20GB on it. I'd like to copy data into a smaller drive like 80GB so I can save the 100GB for a faster...

    Looking for an External HDD...

    I agree with the above poster that if you buy them separately, you can easily change the drive inside w/o voiding warranty. Most pre-built one have only one yr. If you buy HD alone, you get 3 or 5 yrs. I've been using Apricorn, Vantec and they are very good. Bytecc makes one with out ext power...

    conflict between simultaneous use of wireless & hard wire connection

    It's often in the BIOS's power management section. After you turn on your laptop, it says something like "Hit F1, F2 or Del key to enter setup..." You can get into the BIOS that way.

    Discover static IP address settings?

    I assume you meant static dynamic IP which is assigned by routers are often done by ethernet port # for wired clients. For wireless ones, it goes by the client's unique MAC address. You need login access to the router to find out. If it's traditional static IP assignment, it's done manually or...

    Wireless - Limited Connectivity (Invalid IP Address)

    Not sure what cause exactly but try using the wireless adapter's software. If you have an Intel one, you can set up different profile, set one as primary so it will automatically connect to that first, then if unsucessful, it will try in order the rest. Are you in a dorm? I believe your...

    conflict between simultaneous use of wireless & hard wire connection

    Okay, so you're connected both by wire and wirelessly on same subnet and login to your domain? You get 2 IPs and other PC can ping them but at higher level, only one is used for applications (the first one assigned to your lappy, like a stack, first in first out) So if you look up active users...

    Wireless bridging or linking

    I've been able to set up using DD-WRT v2.4 RC1 on my Linksys using Repeater mode. So now the Netgear has one wireless client and connected to modem. The Linksys as wired and wireless clients. Both are on diff subnets w/ diff SSID and same encryption type. Mac addr filtering for added security...

    Wireless bridging or linking

I have to connect by wire to the Linksys. I changed to the Client Bridge mode like you...

    Losing network connection

    It could be the router. My friend got his die after 2 yrs and before that it was acting funny and had to be turned off for a while in few days. It could also be the onboard network card. Try to use a separate one instead. Of course, check all cables, plugs and jacks first.

    Wireless bridging or linking

    I have a Netgear v8 which connects directly to the modem. I want to use a 2nd router, a Linksys to link to it so I can connect by wire to this router or wirelessly to basically extend the range. I did some research and the Linksys can support WDS if I flash it with a 3rd party firmware but it...

    Is it faster to have 2 hard drives?

    Having diff. partitions on same drive only help you with management of your files and easier backup. No benefit in read/write performance or failure protection. Best way is to put OS on one drive, data on another drive and either back up this drive regularly or use a mirrored RAID array.

    I need some suggestions in swapping hard drives of two laptops. First one has a 100GB. This one is slower so not many programs installed. Second one has only 80GB on it but I'm planning to put lots of programs on it because it's faster with more RAM. Both drives are SATA so they should fit. What...
