home-made round IDE cables?

Yes, that'd work. But is it worth the saving you make on not buying rounded cables?

home-made round IDE cables?

Yes, you can still do this and you wont damage anything, but you'll find that you can't squeeze in the cable close to the connections, so a lesser fraction of the cable will be round. That and rubber bands perish after a year or so in the system. It's not really much point. If you want to make...

Ti4200 / Philips ViVo 7108 prob...

I had a similar problem. Same chip but on a Leadtek card. All I did was get into the source properties (Just test the input win Windows Media Player, I find best control in there), and changed them around and them back again to composite (as that is what I am using). Fixed OK.

Sounds from Baracuda IV 80gig

My 60Gb B4 is running extremely quiet. But heat is a concern too. I have it encased in a plastic mobile rack too. It's not heatsinking on the case. Not as hot as my very noisey 30G B2....

Sound Blaster Live woes...

Windows XP Pro, Creative Sound Blaster Live about 2.5 years old now. Basically I use the Line in a lot. It's the way I can watch television while using the PC. You see, everything in my rooms hooks to my amp, and if my TV hooks to the amp directly, I can either have the TV sound on, or the PC...

Dead M/Board - Any tips on bringing back to life?

How far does it get? Does it totally not powerup? Are there lights? Are there sounds? Fans on? Do you have another of the same board that you can do a little BIOS switch-a-roo on?

What is causing restart of computer overheated card or driver??

What exactly is it doing? Does it just shut down right out of the blue? Does it shut down after a certain amount of time? When I put in my Ti 4200 my PSU (Aopen 250w) started being a hair dryer on me. Then after about 5-6 hours of being on the video would die, along with the K/B and modem. The...

Cow of a time with VIVO on Leadtek GF4 Ti4200

Cow of a time with VIVO on Leadtek GF4 Ti4200

I can absolutely assure you that it's come a hell of a long way. Talk about being thrown in the deep end, you should have tried the earlier TV out models. My only wish is that they'd ship programs that work with the hardware. I don't mind troubleshooting or trying options, but I shouldn't have...

Cow of a time with VIVO on Leadtek GF4 Ti4200

Hmm, well it looks as if I have found the source of the problems. It was that myVIVO thing. I formatted again and installed the Winfast Drivers then the 1.16 WDM drivers. Then it works under Virtual Dub and under Movie Maker. So to work out whether it's the myVIVO or the 1.12 version I...

So when will memory prices go up again? (hopefully never)

Actually the reason it was so cheap was because of the following two main reasons: 1. There is a slump in the PC sales market, and there was a gross surplus of RAM manufactured. Now they have got too much so they are cutting prices to ge rid of it. 2. Once a few companies cut prices the rest are...

funny problem with volume settings

Hi I am after an answer for a friend of mine. He is running Win98SE and whenever a wave is played (includes mp3's) when the sound ends the volume for waves defaults to min. So everytime he wants to play a sound or a song he has to put the volume back up. Any ideas? cheers KHAT
