Is it possible to hear the audio while you are recording something? Right now when I hit record, it sort of mutes it. I figure it is just routing the audio to be encoded, but beats me.

Actually, I finally gave up on it. I reinstalled the drivers and the software, but still get the same error message. After I tell titantv to record or watch the show, Winfast says, "Sorry, the data is invalid"

Okay, I have the file type associations correct, yet the error message still comes up. So I decide to reinstall the drivers. The drivers presently on the system are dated 6/12/2002. I follow the instructions exactly off Leadtek's site, but XP tells me it can't find any drivers better (newer)...

Hard Drive not showing up

I've tried the drive in all positions. If I put it in the master position, it starts to boot up just as it would when it was in the old computer. Gateway GoBack comes up and bugs me about the computer clock being different, etc. So I think the info is still on the drive. I will try copying...

Hard Drive not showing up

I just took the drive out of a working computer, so the drive definitely works. I didn't know if jumper settings mattered, so I tried all of those. The drive was made in 1997, and I can't find any drivers. The older computer doesn't have a NIC, CDR, etc, otherwise I would just get the files...

Hard Drive not showing up

Okay, update. I went to the admin disk controls, and the drive doesn't have a letter by it. When I right click to give it a letter, that option is grayed out. It is a Fat32 drive, but can't XP read both NFTS and FAT32?

Keeping dust out of case?

What's the best way to keep dust out of my case. I've got a real dusty apartment, only had my computer a month, and it is looking pretty dusty. Some say put pantyhose on the fan intakes, but they have to be changed pretty frequently. Any advice??

Thinking about buying an NForce board...got a couple questions.

I could be wrong here, but I believe if you add a third DIMM, you won't benefit from the DualBank memory architecture. It will drop the speeds I believe. I have the MSI nforce with 512 meg of Crucial, and it is working fine.

Hard drive question

okay, I figured out what I was doing wrong. I had booted with the WinXP boot disk, and then tried to use the 98 boot disk to run fdisk, so that's why there was a dos compatibility problem. I finally figured out how to do it. I'm actually formatting the disks inside of Windows XP, and that...

urgent question about heatsink installation

Okay, I found out rat shack it open on Sun, so I'll see if they have the stuff. You just open the tube and squirt it on the die, or on the heatsink? Does it need to be smoothed out or anything??

urgent question about heatsink installation

I'm not going to be overclocking or anything. I patched it up pretty evenly, and all of the die will be touching the pink crap. Fingerprints on the thermal stuff won't hurt it will it? I would wait, but that's really an option :( Unless, I'm almost positive it isn't going to work.
