    $500-$750 Budget: OS X

    My home computer is a15" Macbook Pro, 2.16GHz Core2Duo, 2GB RAM. I currently use Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 system simply connected directly to the MBP audio/headphone out. I am really interested in upgrading. I figure a place to start would be a good external amp & non-computer speakers. I'm...

    MBP: Can't Play Movie DVDs

    I am on the second day of owning my very first Mac (MBP; 2.16 C2D; 2GB RAM). Anyway, I have tried to play 6 movie DVDs (all of which play just fine in my Dell laptop) on my MBP--I insert the DVD into Superdrive, DVD player pops up, just sits there so I press the play button on the controller. On...

    [req] Can Someone Edit this .png to be used as a dock icon?

    I just need to have this image changed--I'd just like a transparent background behind the foreground image of the headphones/globe (instead of the grey background).... That way I this could then be used as a dock icon. Any help much appreciated..

    [Req] Can Someone Make me a 1920x1200 version of this Wallpaper?

    I don't have PhotoShop (& I can't get Paint.net to even start on my machine--so I can't learn how to do this type of stuff); I typically just use Irfanview to re-size/crop wallpapers (I use a widescreen monitor, so many regular resolutions are too small/not properly proportioned). But, this...

    Can Someone make me a couple simple Background .png's?

    I am just looking for "banner-type" png's like this: I would need the ability to angle them like in the attached image. It would be nice if I could have white, black & blue ones. I don't think I'd necessarily need to have them angled--I would like to be able to use them in all four...

    How Can I Create different-colored Versions of this .png Icon?

    I'll be blunt: I have little to zero artistic ability, and I also don't have Photo Shop (wouldn't know how to use it even if I did). I'd like to have multiple color variations of the .png icon below. As of this very moment, if I had a black, gray & blue one, I'd be relatively happy. Can anyone...

    No "Paste" Option In context Menu when trying to paste hyperlinks...

    Whenever I want to compose/reply to a message w/ an included hyperlink, I can't use right-click, paste in the message box while using Firefox. The context menu simply won't show a "paste" option. I have no issues on any other forum site I visit w/ Fx. I can use Edit-paste from the Fx menu...

    Anybody Use Y'z Toolbar & Y'z Shadow??

    I just started using them a couple days ago to add more eye candy to my notebook. I want them, of course, to load at Windows startup (XP SP2). I copied each of the .exe's into my startup folder, but when I boot, I get an error dialog for each w/ what I believe is some Japanese gibberish, & in...

    Sory if This is the Wrong Forum...But, Which Live Linux Distro?

    I know ZERO about Linux, but I'm intrigued by the idea of having a live boot CD. It's just that there seem to be way too many choices. I've heard good things about Knoppix, but, at least version 4.0, seems too bloated, & isn't it in German? All I want is the ability to boot from CD/DVD in a...

    Autoruns..How to Disable Startups??

    I DL'd this utility from sysinternals, & when I start it, it shows all startup programs. BUT, when I uncheck the box to disable something (IntelWireless LogonNotify DLL under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify), then close Autoruns, the box doesn't stay...

    Crucial: Trying to Understand Different "qualities" of RAM...

    My understanding is that the Ballistix line is Crucial's "premeire" line of RAM. What about the "plain Jane" RAM that can be purchased off their website--the "upgrade" kind? Is that equivalent to "Value RAM"? Are different designations only related to the ability to overclock? Example, I...

    .Jpeg Editor???

    What's a good way to re-size pictures? I want to be able to re-size a bunch of differently sized images to 300X300. I have Photoshop CS8, but don't particularly know how to use it, to be honest. Or, is there a freeware program available that would allow me to do this. I've tried the XP...

    Firefox: How To......?????

    Sorry if the answer is posted elsewhere, but I couldn't find it. I'm trying to convince myself to start using Firefox as my default browser. I just don't like (or more correctly, am not used to) the feel of Firefox. If I could change one thing to make my browsing better, it would be to make...

    Acronis True Image: Thumbs DOWN!

    :( I just DL'd & purchased TI8 from newegg on 6/16/05, and I have to say, my first impression was "WOW, this is great!!." The gui is terrific, & personally, I found it to be pretty intuitive. I created the bootable CD, and I stored my first image on an external HD (Seagate ATA in a AMS Venus...
