 | Hey all. Not sure if this is really the place to post this, but I thought all you techies may have some knowledge about this: Is there a service that will cut MP3 files, CD's, etc. to vinyls? I have looked at a couple of cutting machines, but I don't …  |
 | There's a sort of interface (I think it has the word pear in the title, but not sure) that lets you stick OS X on a PC. But it's probably easier (and maybe more stable) if you buy a mac and install XP or whatever on that, and it's legal …  |

| | Sounds like a nasty virus or data corruption to me, but I'm not a software expert. Is safe mode when you hit F8 on startup? Because I know that there's a way to boot to last known good configuration by pressing F8 and selecting the option... But don't panic anyway, … |
| | It's amazing how somebody could do that... Just taking out 32 people for no good reason is, quite frankly, stupid and quite disgusting. As for his "theatrical" anger, I think he was styling himself as a revolutionary, a saviour. I think the idea was that he thought if he killed …  |
| | Hey all. I'm thinking of modding my case, but I have a problem: easily the site with the greatest choice (and the nicest interface) I have found is this: [URL="http://www.crazypc.com"]www.crazypc.com[/URL]. It has some really cool stuff there. However, it's based in the US, so there'll be customs charges. So here's … |
| | I have no idea what that is lol, but if that doesn't work, you could try hooking that HDD up to a different computer and copying the file over from a different computer running the same OS and service pack (or equivalent). Just be careful plugging a HD into a … |
| | [EDIT]: Sorry, fixed it: just had to quit everything else, like AVG and ZoneAlarm. Don't bother replying lol. Hi all. I recently started using WindowBlinds, and everything was working beautifully, until... I tried to change to a non WinBlinds skin. Whenever I try, Windows complains and closes Windows Explorer, and … |
| | Hey all. I recently bought myself a nice set of Point of View headphones. I installed all the drivers and stuff, and at first they worked fine, but after a reboot they started acting really strangely, and, long story short, I can't open the driver. I have repeatedly tried reinstalling … |
| | Only way I know of to disable onboard video is to use a GFX card.  |
| | Try telling him he's a perv and to mind his own business? If that doesn't work, try using Adaware and scan your rig with various antivirus programs. Also, whenever you're using Windows Live, use task manager to check for odd background processes, or just check now anyway. In the unlikely … |
| | Hey all. I recently started having LAN parties at my house, and they are ace. The first one I had was very small, just me and 2 mates, but now I'm thinking of having closer to 5 people. So I need some headphones before the 13th. I was thinking of … |
 | Of course it is true that an old game may not allow you to set it ot a widescreen resolution, but I would certainly not say that it stops me playing. It just makes it look slightly stretched. However, most newer games (all Steam games, to my knowledge) support widescreeen: … |
| | I had the same problem, right pain in the arse. What really annoyed me was there wasn't a pound sign, but there were signs no-one could possibly want to use, ever! Apart from those people who make bizarre smileys... |
| | Pretty good rig there mate :) I'm not sure how to do this, I'm happy to have my games slightly stretched... Try changing your monitor resolution when you play, if you can... Sorry I can't help you more. |
| | Yeah it sounds to me like zerbol's right. I guess you could also try using a different monitor and bringing the resolution down to your monitor's native resolution, then switch back. |
| | Hi everyone. My speakers are really showing their age: a set of 5.1's, about 5 years old. They crackle at loud noises (regardless of the volume they're set on), I need to crawl under my desk to switch one of their 2 power switches on, they buzz loudly whenever they're … |
| | That's just out of order: your parents take the PC while you're out, and the "professional" manages to screw up your rig. I don't know a lot about data recovery. Try plugging it into a different machine with a USB enclosure or something, or try taking it to a repair … |
| | Try putting the OS install disc in, I'm pretty sure (though not positive) it gives you the option of a reformat.  |
| | |
| | If I were you I'd go to a reliable repair shop - they might be able to recover it. But then again, I don't know much about HDD data loss... |
| | It sounds like something's not connected, burned out etc so the PC doesn't want to start up - when I forgot to connect the power to my GFX card, it didn't fry or anything, just beeped. But the only way to know is to look at a manual of some … |
| | Well it sounds to me like there's something up with your connection (although I'm no expert). But it could also be your browser: try switching to [URL="http://en.www.mozilla.com/en/"]Firefox[/URL] or, if you already use it, try switching back to IE. EDIT: Whoops, I didn't see the reply :P This post is basically … |
| | Well, for one thing, macs tend to cost more (correct me if I'm wrong). For another, I may be wrong here, but I thought that PC components don't work on a mac, and many monitors and mice don't work with macs also. Compatibility is another thing: many gamers like myself …  |
| | [EDIT]: This is written as if I'm talking to your brother. Mate, I really wouldn't bother with DVD's: all you need is an internet connection, maybe a couple computer mags (jbennet's book might help also, I don't know), and, preferably a friend who has some experience inside PC's (I had … |
 | Re: Mac Or Windwos I just posted which one I use. Although I have barely used macs, as a PC gamer, until more things are compatible with Apple and they aren't so f***ing uptight about their software and hardware compatibility and I can easily install Mac OS X onto PC components and I do … |
| | What exactly does the bit refer to, in terms of '64 bit OS' '32 bit OS' etc. If possible, tell me in tech speak and then simply explain it and what difference it makes to me, as I find that's a good way for me to learn about this kind … |
| | More diverse range than I thought. I'm from London, UK. So you're from Holland, Nick? I'm technically Dutch, a lot of family there, but don't speak it :P Well I can swear in Dutch... Quite a good swearing language, I reckon :) |
| | Re: vista launched Well right now the only bit of Vista that sounds really interesting (apart from the slick interface ;)) is the fact that your GFX drivers etc. can be run outside the kernel, so if they screw up then there's no need to reboot the whole shebang, just the drivers. As … |
