Which PC speakers have digital optical inputs?

I know the Z-5500s have digital optical in but I'm looking to spend a little less, this is just a setup to run an Xbox 360 on and doesn't need to be the best but I WOULD like to utilize the 5.1 sound.

PS2 Mouse not working in XP

I definitely think it's because I didn't have it plugged in when the OS was installed. I did a repair with the XP disc and it didn't help. Now guess I need to decide whether to just live with it (probably won't be a PS2 keyboard port either) or nuke it right now while I don't have much on...

New build, Chaintech VNF4 board, I installed XP Home with this old USB optical mouse installed. Once the OS was up and running I remembered why I had shelved that mouse - doesn't work right. So, shut down, plugged in a PS2 mouse and...nothing.... doesn't work in Windows. I booted to some...

Need a device that will receive wireless signal and output to wired

Need help setting up a 74 gig Raptor

Not sure exactly where the settings you mean are, but I did disable IDE RAID. I have the size problem fixed now - I must have still had the RAID settings turned on when I installed XP and it got stuck at that 150 size. I went back and eliminated that partition and reformatted it - shows the...

Need help setting up a 74 gig Raptor

I bought a used WD740 from someone on the FS/FT forum here. He was previously running it in some RAID config so that probably has something to do with it. I just have the single Raptor on a DFI LanParty 250 GB. Drive tests fine under the WD Windows diagnotics but it shows in Windows as 138...

Password hacking - how do they do it?

Password hacking - how do they do it?

Well the password was something like a six-digit nonsense word and a four-digit number. This was not it, but something like trontey1422 - that's not even similar except in format, and I did some research after that and it looks like that would have been pretty easy. It wasn't a dictionary word...
