I run Vuze frequently at college and have port forwarding setup that that the NAT test passes fine. I just took my computer home over the break and now I can't get it to pass the NAT test for the life of me. I setup port forwarding on my netgear router but that didn't fix the problem. I then...

I'm an avid L4D player and I use a couple auto-fire scripts that make use of the "wait" function which waits one frame before executing the next command. Because the length of time spanning the "wait" function is dependent on my framerate, the rate at which I can fire my weapon is also dependent...

I'm in the process of setting up a small computer lab in a University building. I plan on setting up one model computer with Windows XP and using Ghost Solutions Suite to make an image from it and distribute that image to the other computers. The computers are all on the same domain and the...

As part of my job I manage and maintain a small computer lab of 4 computers. They were all set up by a previous admin who no longer works here. They are setup to login automatically to a limited account. Users are able to temporarily save files to the hard drive, but they are wiped clean...

I'm currently running an E6600 @ 3.6Ghz, 4GB ram, paired with an 8800GTX which I am looking to upgrade. I only have a 22" monitor, so 1680x1050 is all the resolution I need. I've done a bit of research but unfortunately a lot of reviews focus on 1920+ resolutions which doesn't apply to me...

My sister's laptop will not boot into windows. It gets to the loading screen, with the scrolling progress bar below the Windows logo, and it get stuck there. The screen doesn't freeze, though. The progress bar just scrolls forever without any hard drive activity after 10 seconds or so. Safe mode...

I don't know if any of you guys experienced this, but the RC1 service pack for vista expires today so I had to uninstall it. Once I did, my system immediately had serious performance issues. Windows update alerted me that I now had ~20 new updates to install, so I did. After about four restarts...

My buddy has recently started getting into counter strike source but the integrated graphics on his laptop can't quite cut it. He's low on cash but hoping to build a desktop that can play CS:S without issues. I have a 7800GT laying around that he can use, what do you think would be the cheapest...

I've got a wireless adapter on my desktop and the wireless router is in the next room. Internet works great, but I get lots of choke (30-50) making the game unplayable. Is there any way to fix this or am I forced to string an ethernet cable over to the router?

I've got an E6600 running at 3.4 ghz paired with an 8800GTX. I plan on playing Crysis, etc. Also plan on running Vista x64 So do I get two of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148090 in order to have 2GB running at 1066+ for $112 or this...

Turned the system on this morning and no signal on the monitor. Fuck. I swapped out the video card, reseated the ram, unplugged all the hard drives, cleared the cmos. No dice. I've been running my E6600 at 3.5ghz at 1.5volts and it ran pretty hot (idled at around 50, load around 65). Could...

I've got a PC P&C 510 and it works great with my E6600 and 7800GT. However, I'm seriously considering replacing my E6600 with a Q6600 and my 7800GT with an 8800GTX. Will the 510 have enough juice to keep this beast running? Thanks.

My Specs: E6600 @ 3.4ghz 2GB DDR2-800 7800GT (with beta drivers) Creative X-Fi Vista x64 The max playable setting for me (30-40 fps) are 1440x900 quality set to medium. Is this normal? I was hoping to do 1680x1050 but its just too choppy (15-20 fps). Any way to improve this beyond...

I have 2GB (2 x 1GB) sticks of Crucial Ballistix Tracer rated at PC2-8000 (DDR2-1000). I can't get it to run at DDR2-976 without a BSOD. Attempting to run at DDR2-1029, the system wouldn't POST. The only speed its stable at is DDR2-776. Specs: Asus P5W DH Dlx Intel E6600 OC'd @ 3474mhz (FSB...

I can't get iTunes to work with Vista x64. Is there an equally functional program that's compatible?

Asus P5W DH Dlx E6600 2GB Ballistix Tracer DDR800 PC P&C 510w 7800GT I'm starting to overclock this E6600. With my CPU voltage at 1.5v and my FSB at 335 (3015mhz) this system is relatively stable, but whenever I reboot the computer shuts down completely for about three seconds and then...

First, the specs: DFI LanParty NF4 SLI-D 3700+ OC'd @2.8ghz 2gb G.Skill DDR PC Power and Cooling 510w 2x 7800GT SLi During finals week at college, I started getting a ton of BSOD's from windows Vista. IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL as well as some errors from ata100.sys and other random stop...

Q3 2007 promises a number of highly anticipated games. I'm not sure which one I'm looking forward to the most. The only thing that is certain is that I have some upgrading to do.

I tired booting up with F8 and its still giving me an error when I try to install an unsigned driver. Are there any other methods to disable it?

I have two hard drives: a 36gb raptor and a 250gb WD. I was dual booting vista and xp for a while with xp installed on the 36gb and vista installed on the 250. Yesterday I decided to lose XP for good and start fresh with Vista. I installed it on the 36gb drive (reformatting the drive in the...

I've seen 6 foot cables at circuit city for $120, but one search on froogle yields a lot of these: http://www.svideo.com/hdmihdmisp3.html Only $10 for an HDMI cable? Is it too good to be true?

The subwoofer of my Promedia 2.1 was pushed hard against the wall, mushing the preamp input plug to the side (the six-pin plug that goes from the main satellite to the sub) and effectively ruining it. The metal part popped off, exposing six thin pins on one side and six thicker pins on the...

I downloaded a bunch of episodes of Prison Break and want to watch them on my TV rather than my computer. Burning them take forever and only 2 episodes fit on a disc. I'm looking at the back of my cable box (comcast HD digital cable box) and its got 3 USB ports, 2 firewire ports, and an...

I downloaded Prison Break Season One and when I play it the video plays at a slower rate than the sound is playing. So not only do the word not match up with the lips, but the lips are moving slower than normal. Is there any kind of video editing software I could use to fix this? Or is there...

I'm a freshmen at the University of Illinois and I was startled to find my internet not working this morning. I called the tech dept. to be like WTF and they said I had gone over my 750mb/ day limit. I asked if there was any way to extend this limit. There is not. Is there any way to get...

I've got my 360 hooked up to a 22" widescreen Westinghouse. It looks awesome in 1080i. But now I don't have any sound! I have a sweet set of klipsch speakers right next to my monitor. Any way to get sound out of those? Any way to get sound at all?

I just got that $400 22" Westinghouse LCD. So far so good, but when I play HL2 I get some pretty major tearing when I move quickly. But when I enable Vsync, the game gets all jittery and unplayable. Any ideas? FX-57 2GB DDR @ 280mhz 2x 7800GTs in SLI

The title pretty much says it all. I'm looking for a widescreen LCD under $500. I'll be using it for gaming and movies. I have absolutely no tolerance for ghosting. Here's results from my initial newegg search: SAMSUNG 215TW Black 21" 8ms Widescreen LCD Monitor with Adjustable Stand 300...

I know you all won't believe me, but I actually did buy BF2 and I lost the manual that contained my CD key. It'll cost me $10 plus shipping to get another from EA so I would rather have yours since you don't play it anymore. :) I have the DVD-ROM version if that matters and I have many...

I've got some AT A900's and Some Klipsch Promedia 2.1s. How can I switch between them without going around back and futzing with the plugs?

I'm building inside of an AeroCool ExtremEngine 3T. All was going smoothly until I tried to slide my video card into place. The metal tab on the end (that you put the screw through to hold it down) is hitting the edge of the case before the card is able to slide all the way into the slot. If I...

I'm buying some AT A900's and I've got an X-Fi. I know nothing about amps. Should I get one? Which one would you recommend? I'm willing to spend probably around $100 unless I really need to spend more. Links to a store would be appreciated... I have no idea where to buy this from.

I came lurking in here today because my headphones broke and I need a new pair. After doing some reading, I'm leaning toward the AT A900's. I will be plugging them into an X-Fi and they will be used almost exclusively for gaming. My question is pretty general: What is the purpose of a...

I made the mistake of walking through a door while quicksaving. The game crashed and I lost about 10 hours of accomplishments. I really don't want to do it all over again. Is there any save game editors out there that can get me back to where I was?

I have an XFX 7800GT, which Newegg no longer carries. Can I add another from a different company?
