Have you tried replacing the cables? Maybe they're just bad. It could be pinched somewhere or something. Also, make sure they're at least Cat5e cables. I would also try reinstalling the drivers on your Vista box. Maybe they just need to be updated.

obviously a spammer. are there any admins around?

S939? Man, I'm still rocking on a SocketA (I don't really play games).

I agree with the other posters. I would sit tight for a little while as your system is still pretty fast.

TR still looks fine. Just go straight to the news page: http://www.techreport.com/news.x.

In the top right corner of the TR website, there's an icon that looks like a double ended arrow (i.e., <-->). This enables TR to use a wider margin. Works pretty well for me.

The cartridges on those printers won't really be much better. One option, albeit a little pricier, is to purchase a color laser printer. Something like this might work for you: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6828112053.

The Microsoft keyboard is nice but I think that's way more than what the OP wants to spend.

I recommend Firefly (http://www.snapstream.com/products/firefly/). Works with all the applications you mentioned above. If you want something even cheaper, you can get the Firefly mini (http://www.snapstream.com/products/fireflymini/). Personally, I prefer the regular Firefly remote since it uses RF...

This is pretty old news. From what I remember, it's actually a Cisco issue and not an iPhone one.

None of the above. IMHO, the best fries are either from Popeye's or Red Robin.

I would check out Miri Ben Ari. She plays the violin but uses hip hop samples.

I love my Firefly remote: http://www.snapstream.com/products/firefly/. It's not as fancy as a Logitech Harmony but it works with pretty much any application including Media Center. I also like the fact that it uses RF instead of IR.

As funny as the name sounds, what I recommend to download is the software called G-Spot (http://www.free-codecs.com/download/GSpot.htm). Once installed, it lets you analyze the video and it will tell you exactly what codec was used to encode the video and audio. Once you figure that out, you can the...

Is she going to use Windows Vista? If she is, you should also consider setting up ReadyBoost (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReadyBoost).

The only way that I can think of creating a nested RAID is to combine hardware and software RAID together, which nullifies any performance benefit. Basically, you can setup a hardware RAID 5 array in your controller card and then setup a RAID 0 array in windows with the RAID 5 array and the remainin...

It's unlikely that there's data on the iPod that needs saving, I mean it's used mainly to listen to music, most of which would be on the owners PC anyway. If it's not past it's warranty you could just send it back to Apple Not necessarily, if the owner was upgrading OSs or otherwise reinstalling th...

Image the drive, copy the image to a good drive, and then do a repair install of Windows. That should get you up and running without trying to recover the keys (except for the Windows key). If you don't have your Windows key, yeah, you would have to call Microsoft to get another key. I think you'll ...

The built in firewall in Vista is not too bad. Is there a reason why you don't want to use it?

aristheo

Flip the cables. It's probably backwards.

aristheo

Or you can just go to Craigslist and look for people that are giving away CRT monitors.

How soon do you really need it? If I were you, I would wait until the MCSE exams for Windows Server 2008 (aka, Longhorn) comes out, which I think is sometime next year. In the meantime, you can study for other things such as the Vista MCP or the CCNA.

Why not just make the xml file read only?

aristheo

For a basic machine like that, I would have saved the cash and gone with a x2 3600+ instead, as I doubt they would be able to tell the difference. Totally agree. I'd spend a little more money on memory. Since you're using onboard graphics, part of the system memory will be used by the onboard video...

aristheo

Probably not. If it was, it would explicitly say it's 64-bit.

aristheo

Yeah, Norton really bites (and that's putting it lightly). I'm currently using AVG and I'm very happy with it. It's very lightweight, automatically updates, and not very intrusive.

Whatever tuner card you pick, make sure it has a hardware encoder. I've had really good luck with the Hauppauge PVR-250 and PVR-150.

aristheo

Have you tried memtest or DFT? Random crashes are often caused by hardware problems such bad memory or a failing hard drive. I would also check the event viewer logs to see what happened right before the BSOD occurred.

The one disadvantage of PVA panels is the slower response time. I'm not sure if one can even see the differences among various response times. That's always struck me as the least relevant statistic about a motherboard. But hey, everyone wants fast, fast, fast these days, so it's probably important...

Just like what Flying Fox says, the newer LCD's uses TN panels, which can only display 6-bits per color. The older LCD that you have probably uses PVA (I forget the exact type) that can display 8-bits per per color. The difference is 262,144 colors versus 16.7 milliion colors. The one disadvantage o...

If you're really undecided, I would buy the TV from Costco then. That way, you have 90 days to decide if you like it or not. There's no restocking fee or anything like that as long as you're within the return policy.
