I should have given more info in my original post. I am not a gamer, but I do some video editing and don't really need the power these have. I know there are mini PC's with cheaper prices/slower processors, but I have always wanted a higher end PC, (but not the ultimate jet-engine PC). Since...

Anybody have any experiences with either of these two companies that produce mini gaming PCs? I am looking for good or bad experiences. I have listed the companies and the computer I am looking at buying. The prices listed are also a link to the description. GMKTec NucBoxK4 with 2TB SSD...

I have a Win 10 PC at work, and a Win11 laptop at home and would like to access the work PC from home. If I leave the work PC on with AnyViewer running, I am able to access my work computer from home. I also set up WOL, which works well. The place I am stuck is logging in to Windows. Is that...

I would like to be able to have a monitor with 3 inputs: VGA, HDMI, and DVI-D and have the monitor detect which input is active. There would only be one input standard working at one time. This monitor would be on a stage, so we could not push an input button or have a remote (unless it was on...

I don't know where to even begin looking for this. What I need is low cost, or better yet, free software that will do the following: A user would log in to a database or website and leave a message. The software would then email a copy of the message to a list of users that have their email...

I bought an MSI laptop a few months ago. It was advertised to have an nVidia Geforce GTX 1660 Ti graphics card. I have an external monitor that I use connected with HDMI and that works just fine. I am using Win10 Home, but a few days ago I wanted to experiment with a few Linux live USB distros...

I have a 2 year old desktop computer. Nothing fancy, i3, Win10 Home, 4GB memory, 1TB HDD. It has started to take 1 to 2 hours to boot up. Sometimes it boots up no problem. Other times it takes hours. I'm not sure where to start looking and am not even sure this is a hardware problem or software...

Just looking to see if these companies are reputable. I know there is a small percentage of people that will bad mouth a company if they got mistreated, but would like to know if either have a good or bad reputation for things like slow shipping, poor customer service, etc. I probably made it...

I am looking to upgrade to a new laptop. There are two laptop companies that I have heard of and need a "thumbs up or thumbs down". The two are Computer Upgrade King and Pro Star. Also, if there is another that needs to be in the discussion, I would like to know about them too. Later today I can...

B00nie, the WLS approach sounds like it might work. My application is in a church. The stage has a VGA connection that goes from the stage to our soundboard, but there is no audio in VGA. When we have guest speakers, they usually bring their laptops to use on the stage. We have an HDMI to VGA...

I need to get audio from a computer (via 3.5mm audio jack) across the room at 55 feet away into a sound board. Running an audio cable would be easiest, but am not able to do that. Any ideas? Wifi, BT, or something else?

I was thinking more along the lines of a hosting company called Hostinger. Does anybody have any good or bad experience with them?

Looking to possibly replace InMotion hosting. I'm not unhappy, just need to find an equivalent that saves me some money. I am paying $166 per year for hosting, backup, one domain, domain privacy. In addition to those things, I need unlimited storage, at least 2 mysql databases, and FTP access. I...

I have decided to get in the attic and run a cat6 from the main router (AC1200) to a second router and use it in AP mode. I am looking at two routers to buy and both are about the same price. Which one is the better router? Both are TP-Link. AX1800 (Archer AX21) $100 or AC2600 (Archer A10) $110

Our current setup: AC 1200 Router RE230 Range Extender (RE) Our church has a router located in an office and the wifi signal must go from the office, through a cinder block wall, and reach to the far end of a big building 75 feet from the wall. The current router just barely reaches, so we...

I experienced something that I have not seen before. I have a desktop with Win10. I have a small tally light that is plugged into the computer's USB for power. The computer has USB 2.0 and the tally light uses a USB-C connector. When I shut down the computer, the light stays lit. If I want the...

I need to start program 1 then pause for 15 seconds then start program 2 and start program 3 Have all this run without the user seeing the command window (invisible mode) and start this batch file with a hot key

I'm not sure why, but it started to work this morning. I searched in DM yesterday and it did not show up, only did today. Thanks for the help.

I went through each and every section and did not see anything that looks like it might be a camera.

Forgot to mention in my original post that it was on. I went back to privacy settings and turned the camera off, then back on again. I also turned all the apps on as well ( I had a few turned off). But still no camera.

I used to have access to my laptop's integrated camera. It has been a few months since I have used the camera in Zoom, but today it does not show up. I have Win10-32 Home and assume it might have been removed somehow when Windows did an update. I have done all the things I know to do. Device...

I need to have audio go from a laptop (via the 3.5 mm headphone jack) to a Yamaha sound board that is 45 feet away. The soundboard has input via RCA jacks. If I understand, I will have to get two Bluetooth devices. One to transmit and one to receive. I think the problem is that there is 45 feet...

All that worry and it worked out on it's own. That is, I swapped the motherboard (same chipset, but different brand) and put all the pieces back in without upgrading anything else. I booted up and it worked just like it did before the swap. I did have to update a few drivers, but it was no...

I will be upgrading my motherboard on my computer. I have W10 Pro that I think is an OEM version, since it was installed by a computer builder company. I think it is possible to do the upgrade without re-installing Windows, but it is time to clean the system, so, regardless, would like to...

Not sure what you mean by a super high end GPU. I have a GTX 1060. Also, the Gigabyte does not have a VGA port.

I am using an Asus Prime B360 M-A motherboard (LGA 1151) in my computer used to live stream using two cameras. I need to add a quad HDMI capture card to add more cameras. Capture card like Magewell P/N 11100. In order to do that I need to upgrade my M/B. It needs to have two PCI x16 slots (one...

I don't use my DVD drive much, but needed it today, but no luck. I have an MSI laptop, GE62-2QD Apache Pro (with the optical drive) and use Win10-64. In BIOS, the drive is recognized. In device manager, I scanned for hardware changes and I updated the driver. Still no change. That is, if I hit...

Yes, the Fn+F6 turned the camera on and loaded the drivers. Thanks for the help.

I have used my laptop (MSI GE62 2QD Apache Pro) for a few years and have never needed the built in webcam - until now. Device manager does not show any webcam and the MSI support page does not show any drivers for a webcam. How do I make it work? The OS is Win10-64 and the specs for the laptop...

How can I tell? Is there a test I can do to identify the source of the hum?

Sorry if this was not clear. I have a Win10 computer that has onboard sound as part of the motherboard. When this onboard sound is connected to the A&H MixWizard there is a loud hum when playing anything coming from the computer. I would like to fix this hum and there are three things that...

I bought a new computer system to use with a Allen&Heath sound board. I am using onboard audio from line out to a 1/4" jack on the sound board. The problem is that there is a humming sound (like a motor running) coming from the sound board. I may have gone too cheap with the motherboard, but...

I have WMP, but that didn't work. I installed VLC and now when Autoplay window opens up I get a line that says "play with VLC". So that fixed it for me. Still not sure why WMP did not work. I associated all the video extensions to WMP, but now had to switch them to VLC.

I am a new user of Win10 as I am setting up a computer for our church. I like Win10 so far, but cannot make autoplay work. I searched online and tried several things, but to no avail. I even started Regedit, but there was no key (NoDriveTypeAutoRun) present in the directory that it was...

I am getting a new system with an i7 9700k CPU. It is advertised as 3.6 GHz and 4.9 GHz in turbo mode. How will I switch between the two speeds and how will I know which one is active?

I guess I didn't tell the whole story. Our computer drives the 4 VGA monitors, an HDMI 34" monitor, and three 55" monitors located in another building. These are attached to the computer via a Decklink MiniMonitor which has an SDI output that goes to the other building and is converted to...

This is for our church. Our current MB has onboard VGA. That one VGA port drives 3 large screen monitors and one 19" monitor. The vid card (nVidia 1060) has a display port, HDMI, and one other. We are using the HDMI on the vid card and the one on the onboard. I have tried 3 or 4 adapters DP...

I currently have a Gigabyte Z97X-UD5H that is failing and need to replace it, but would like to upgrade a bit. I would like to get a new CPU, an i7 8700k (LGA 1151-300). The new MB needs to support the 8700k CPU, and also have good onboard audio (Realtek type) and have onboard VGA and onboard...

Since I am not a programmer and don't know javascript, I was hoping to get something a bit more specific. I have taken HTML code before and made it work, but didn't know where to start.

I am not a programmer, but need help with a website routine. I have a server that will have a video file (MP4) that has a link on the website. When a user clicks the link, the video plays. If the video is missing, the link will show a JPG file instead. That is, the server will have 2 files...
