    Most likely reason my computer suddenly won't post?

    Just to put the cap on this thread: it was the Biostar motherboard - replacing it (and only it) with the cheap Foxconn in my updated sig has fixed it.

    Most likely reason my computer suddenly won't post?

    See sig I have a couple, but not compatible with current hardware. Anyway, borrowed a power supply and no joy - same results as with my Corsair. Pity, since at least the power supply is under warranty. Looks like the MB is the next thing to try, although I might think about upgrading...

    Most likely reason my computer suddenly won't post?

    The computer listed in my sig has been working without a hiccup for about a year and a half. Then, while I was using it the other night, it went down as if the power had been cut, then restarted itself, then faltered again, so I shut it down. After waiting a bit, I started it up and it was fine...

    USB HD appears in Device Manager, but not Computer

    I'm trying to get a new hard drive to work under Vista in a USB external enclosure. I have another hard drive that has worked fine in this enclosure, a Metal Gear Box. The new HD is a Seagate 500gb IDE (the enclosure is supposed to work with up to 500gb). When I plug everything in, the icon...

    Searching Contacts' notes field in Windows Vista

    Can anyone tell me how to do a keyword search of the Notes fields from my Contacts in Windows Vista? I want to search all my Contacts at once. In the old Windows address book you could specify which field you wanted to search, but I don't find anything comparable in Vista. Thanks for your help

    Vista Upgrade Question

    There is a well-documented workaround you can do with the upgrade disc to get it to do a clean install. Basically, it requires you to install Vista twice. This is one of many sites that spells it out: http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/winvista_upgrade_clean.asp

    Question re: 20 pin power cable

    Bit of a noob question here: I just noticed that the 20 pin power cable that attaches to the motherboard from my new power supply (a Corsair 520) has no wire for one of the pins - unlike the one from my old power supply which has wires going to all pins. The missing wire is white on the old...

    anybody else having problems running pirates on x800xl?

    I have an X800XL (AGP) and have been playing Pirates. The game looks great without the problems you mention. I've been playing with the patch for the game (it is available now) and the latest Catalysts (5.4) so you might need one or the other to fix the problem. I installed the patch before...

    Sapphire x800xl AGP for $316 at Newegg (now $310)

    Question re: HDTV Wonder - aspect ratio in DTV fullscreen

    Just to revisit this issue for anyone interested: 9.03s don't offer a cure. A widescreen display still seems to mean 16:9 to Multimedia Center. However, 9.03 does allow you to set the ratio in DTV to 1.85:1 which when it displays on my screen, brings it a little closer to what it should be...

    Question re: HDTV Wonder - aspect ratio in DTV fullscreen

    No, my version of CCC doesn't have any option like that either. There is in ATI MMC Configuration a place to tick "I have a widescreen display" as I mentioned earlier. Anyway, I guess I'll try updating Catalyst and MMC and see how that works. Thanks for the response.

    Yes. In the OSD you go into Image Settings and choose 1:1 scaling. This should make games display natively in the chosen resolution with black to fill in the unused pixels. This works with most games I've tried it on, although a couple insisted on stretching to fill the screen. The other two...

    Question re: HDTV Wonder - aspect ratio in DTV fullscreen

    I recently switched from a CRT to a 16:10 LCD (Dell 2005fpw). I switched the ATI MMC configuration utility to widescreen monitor, and when I run DTV (HDTV) in fullscreen it stretches the image vertically so there are no black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. In other words, as if I had...

    IS there some way to alter games to make them widescreen?

    Check widescreengamingforum. They have discussions on how to hack many games to widescreen and which games cannot be hacked.

    Questions about Dell 2005fpw

    The 2005fpw is made from an S-IPS panel. With all S-IPS panels, if you view from the side you will see the blacks turn purple, more so as your angle gets further from 90 degrees. This is not the same as backlight bleeding, although if you read threads here and elsewhere and look at pictures...

    Dell 2005fpw or 2001fp

    The 2001 is 16" x 12". The 2005 is 17" x 10.6." I got the 2005 because the time when I most want more screen area is when I'm doing something in wide screen, such as movies or HDTV. In these applications, the greater real estate of the 2001 just gets you bigger black bars at the top and bottom...

    Is a $600 2005fpw (20.1" Widescreen LCD) really worth it?

    Funny, I just switched from the M990 to a 2005fpw. I've had it for 3 weeks and had been going back and forth trying to decide if it was worth it (I paid $565) when I hooked up the old CRT and looked at them side to side. I was shocked at how dingy the M990 image was compared to the LCD and now I...

    Hitachi Microdrive 2 GB - Wolf Camera $99.00 AR

    Smartsam - Yes, this card works great at the 640 x 480/30fps setting. My understanding is that the limit for the camera (nothing to do with the card) is 1 gig per video clip which is between 8 and 9 minutes of video at the highest setting. I've never had a clip that long, but have filled up...

    Hitachi Microdrive 2 GB - Wolf Camera $99.00 AR

    I use this Microdrive in my Canon S1 digicam and have been very happy with it. And that is a very good price for it. Standard CF cards are slower than this and not suitable for the VGA quality movies the S1 and some other digicams take, so if that is an issue, consider the Microdrive. CF Ultra...

    DVD audio/video out of sync on Radeon 9800

    Any advice would be appreciated. I recently upgraded to a Sapphire 9800np and to Windows XP at the same time. I did a reformat and clean install. I find that when I play any DVD movies the video lags behind the audio by about a half a second. I'm using PowerDVD and have tried all the different...

    Help! Data output choking dial-up connection

    Thanks for the responses. To those interested in the outcome: it was a worm, probably Welchia, a relative of the Blaster worm. Oddly, it must have got right back into my computer after the reformat. The giveaway was a process called DLLHOST.exe in Task Manager generating CPU usage while the...

    Logitech Z340 speakers $23.97 at Target B&M

    This is a great price on a very good budget 3-piece set of computer speakers. The bass is especially impressive. I don't know if Target's sales are the same nationwide, but this is the price in MA this week.

    "Signal out of range" resolution prob with Radeon LE

    Thanks for suggestions. I'd already changed refresh rates, so I tried going back to Plug and Play Monitor driver, and that did allow 1280 x 1024! But -- more weirdness -- monitor wouldn't remember size and position of image when I changed resolutions, and I'd have to reset each time. Oh well --...
