    Dell U2211H and U2311H IPS Monitors

    I just received my Dell U2211h yesterday. It is replacing an Envision Pro Series 20" 1600 x1200 LCD which I believe to be an 8-bit panel (I don't know the type) since it has none of the TN characteristics. The picture quality on my Envision is very good and I'm also familiar with the Dell 2007FP...

    Windows 7 is basically Vista renamed

    Phexac, great post! I also have used Vista from the start and it has gotten better as it matured. It has worked well for me, but my hardware has always been mid/high performance. The people I know that complain about Vista, either have weak/old hardware or have never used it. Recently I helped...

    Pc for <$500

    Check out the Dell outlet store. About six weeks ago, I picked up a inspiron 530 - E4300 - 2gb ram - Vista Home SP1, for $279. I added a HD 3650 for $50 AR. For $330, I'm real happy. The store deals change frequently, so keep checking if you don't see what you want at first.

    Senate proposal incentives

    John McCain gave a speech saying it is unacceptable if "pork" would be added to the original bill. Then, after the pork was added, he says he will vote for it anyway. Sounds familiar doesn't it: "I was against it before I was for it."

    Coating on pin/pads of Core 2 Duo CPU

    This is my 1st venture into a C2D so everything is new to me. I have a E4300 that I might try the 800mhz->1066mhz pin/pad mod on (Dell so no BIOS adj). I was looking at the pads on the bottom of the CPU and noticed what looks like a thin plastic coating over the pads. What is that stuff...

    DEAD: Dell Inspiron 530 for $239+ship (Pent E2180 + 2GB + 250GB + DVDRW)

    For Vista, what drivers did you use? I saw that Dell has 530 drivers for Vista and Foxconn has drivers for their G33m02 mobo, used by Dell. Which to use? Any problems? I would like to get this machine with an E7200 to move up from my old P4 and add a good video card later, but I'm using Vista...

    Happy with Vista! Am I in the minority?

    I've used Vista for the past year and am happy with it. I just had to get a few new drivers and program updates, then everything worked great. The many Vista forums and Tip sites have been a help learning about Vista. The UAC was initially a pain, but TweakUAC running in silent mode solved that...

    Vista Update problem.

    I had the same problem with that update and so are a lot of other people. Doing all of the help suggestions for the error code you get doesn't help. I found the solution through a google search. Download the Framework 1.1 SP1 from Microsoft then install it manually and it will work. I didn't...

    Are 19/20 inch LCD screens at 1600x1200 usable?

    Here is a LINK to how Vista scales the DPI. Hover over the different DPI settings to see the effect of changing DPI settings in Vista. If you're not using Vista, this feature alone might make the upgrade worthwhile. I use Vista with a 20" - 1600x1200 and couldn't be happier with the window...

    Are 19/20 inch LCD screens at 1600x1200 usable?

    I'm not experiencing any truncation problems. In 1600x1200 @ 120 DPI. Maybe try changing the icon H/V spacing. As for an 800x600 jpg, I DL'd a picture to see what it looks like. In Picasa and Win Photo gallery, it measures 8"w x 6"H.; looks good to me. If I want it any larger I zoom it up...

    Are 19/20 inch LCD screens at 1600x1200 usable?

    Yes, the 20" 1600 x 1200 screen is very usable. I found that if I use the settings for DPI, set to 120% or 125%, everything looks fine. Just setting the font size for icon, menus, etc., did not adjust other things in proportion to the font size. Try setting default font sizes back to 96dpi ...

    Show of Hands--How many of you have disabled UAC Control in Vista?

    I turned it off. When something is designed as "one size fits all", it causes problems. UAC is not a bad idea, it's just that there needs to be a way to make exceptions for software that I ok. Let me decide, I don't need or want a computer "nanny."

    Should I just get a Dell?

    IMO, I don't think you can go wrong with a Dell. I've been building my own for years, but if I had to upgrade, I would consider buying a Dell system. I don't know if this is still the case, but in the past, Dell has used Intel motherboards. I think it would be good to get your own videocard to...

    Everest & Vista

    Several of my programs do the same thing. I searched for an answer, but all I found was to turn UAC off, which is what I eventually did. There should be someway for the administrator to ok sw it is safe to run and get rid of the pop-up. It seems that this is a common complaint and something...

    Cannot get vista to install on my 7200.10

    A few days ago I installed the same HD on my Asus P4P800 with the Vista OS. I had 2 P-ATA HD's before and wanted Vista on the new Seagate 320gb 7200.10 S-ATA as the boot drive. I disconnected the P-ATA drives and installed the new S-ATA drive. I put the Vista disk in and tried to boot from it...

    Vista bsod

    I had the same problem. It was being caused by the Zoom modem driver that Vista was DLing from the MS website during install.

    Vista Install Complications?

    I had the same problem. When I did the install, I made the selection that connected to MS updtae site. It turned out that the probem was being caused by a Zoom modem driver that was being installed by the update site during the install. I reformated and installed without letting Vista go to the...

    So what drivers are you missing to make Vista Fully operational

    Need: Lexmark P4350 All-in-one - Lemark says Vista drv. will be ready soon Zoom 3025c Fax Modem - MS update has a driver which causes a lock up at Vista load. Zoom doesn't have a Vista driver available. I keep it disabled. On-Board SoundMax works ok, but missing the SoundMax control panel.

    Having contrast and brightness problems lcd

    Try some of the software from this site. The old Nokia program and the TFT program are both good, but there are many others that you could try. With the LCD's I've used, I find that just lowering the gamma setting in the videocard settings usually can get a good picture without doing much else.

    Anyone use the Vista speech recognition tool yet?

    Thanks for sharing your experience. I'd like to try it, but need a microphone, preferably a desktop model with on/off switch. From what I've been reading, the mic quality is critical for accuracy. Were you using a headset or desktop microphone? edit: I picked up a Logitech 980186-0403...

    WINDOW ULTIMATE DOES NOT FINISH INSTALL

    Mine crashed about the same way after I did the MS updates. If it wants to do any MS updates automatically, don't let it do it. Install them one at a time manually. I had to do this and I found that it was a modem driver installed by MS update, that was crashing the system. My guess is that one...

    XP/Vista dual boot question - XP on later partition

    Diminishing Returns from More Technology

    I've been running Vista dual boot with XP for about a week now. Xp has worked great for me, but Vista is my preference.

    The real cost of Vista for the layman. (2/20 - Need help with Media Center and TV card please)

    If anyone needs an Office Suite that appears to run well on Vista, they can DL the freeware Open Office Suite - ver. 2.1. It beats paying $$$ for the big name suites and it is excellent quality. Get it HERE. I'm running it on my Vista setup and so far, I'm pleased with the way it's working.

    vista connects really slow to my network...

    I just know enouch about routers to be dangerous, but here is a thought. I use a DSL modem that has a firewall built into it and it is my understanding that routers also have a hardware firewall. Vista has the firewall defaulted to "On" and there is a message saying that using 2 firewalls can...

    Can't get ATI Radeon Drivers installed

    I installed the Vista 7.1's on my 850XT without problem. I recall reading that the Vista 7.1's support back to 9500 cards. Maybe some old files not removed are wrecking the install or it might have something to do with the .NET Framwork needing to be installed for CCC.
