Ok, I've been bothered by this for nearly 10 years and I have tried and tried to figure it out. There was this old neo-geo game in the arcade where you were ninja/samurai type guys. It was a side-scroller action game (i.e. double dragon, etc.). I remember your guys could get these power-up type...
I'm looking for a few new DS games, but I have no idea what to get. I'm not sure I want animal crossing or nintendogs (they seem to be really popular). Not sure they are my style of game. I really like rpgs like lufia and FF. I also really like puzzle games or games like Dr. Mario. I will have a...
For some reason, when I booted my other machine today, the login accounts are missing and I only have the option to turn off the computer :( Not sure exactly what happend. I can't get in using safe mode or last known good configuration. I really don't want to have to re-install or repair the OS...
Anybody get this yet? I really liked the first one, thought the second wasn't as good, so what are some of your thoughts on the third installment? I'm thinking about getting it today to celebrate finishing my last term paper, so is this game worth it?
Well, this started as a game specific problem, or so I thought, but now it seems to belong more in the hardware section :(

Any help would be truely apprecated. Could this be that the dvd drive isn't getting the juice it needs? I think I may...
It seems like every three minutes or so, BF2 will crash. I can't even get into a game, or see the server list for that matter. I don't get any error messages. Two times I actually got it to hardlock instead of crash when I was going to check out my listed video options.

BIOS is recognizing my seagate SATA 120g drive (only HDD) as a SCSI drive. I have it plugged into SATA 1 on the mobo. So, when I get into windows installation it wont recognize the drive. Im not trying to set up a RAID, so would I need to still install the RAID drivers or are there seperate SATA...
I'm basically swaping parts from 3 different systems at the moment and was wondering if it was necessary to reformat the hard drive when swaping it out to a new mobo/processor combo. Can I just repair the OS and have it be fine? I'm really too lazy to back things up for the three systems and...

My machine runs fine until I hop into a vehicle; however, it seems that when I do get in a vehicle it's a hit and miss whether I will start getting choppy lag-like effects. Even when I don't get these effects, when I jump out of the vehicle it will make my game choppy. When I Alt-Tab out of the...
The specs say that it has a max 75hz refresh rate, but when I click the "show modes that this product can use" box in the display menu, it only shows 60. Would it be safe to uncheck that box and run it at 75?
Ok, I just got an Antec case with a 350w psu, a chaintec vnf3-250, and an amd 3200+ socket 754. I salvaged an old (had a p4, so not too old) hp machine for the HD, CD RW, DVD Rom, and floppy drive. I've hooked everything up correctly and when I power it on, only the fans run. The only light that...

Ever since I've got this card, it has given me nothing but problems. First I was trying to play a music video and the colors where all weird. The reds and greens where really dominant, and the blues where almost nowhere to be found. Now I can't even play DVD's. I tried loading the 61.76...
Seems to me that formula shouldn't work, but it does for some reason on my computer :( With my Radeon 9800se I got really good picture when watching any type of media format in windows media player. Now that I have my 6800 the RGB is all out of whack. The reds seem to be horribly predominant...
What's a safe oc for an eVGA 6800nu if I am using the stock cooling. I have 6 case fans and there are 2 spaces between the vid card and the next pci card...one of the case fans blows right on top of the card. I'm not sure how to accurately check the temps for video cards, so if somebody could...
Ok, I have a sapphire radeon 9800se at the moment. I was about to purchase a 9800 pro or xt but what would you guys say to getting this card instead?
eVGA 6800
What are the drawbacks? Would I see a lot better performance between this and the 9800se and the 9800pro? Also, will this...
Ok, for overclocking your RAM, if i have ddr400 ram, I can't go above 200mhz for the speed, correct? So I would have to OC on a ratio? Just checking if I have my info right, if not, I'm getting too old...
Just wondering what all the 7/29 bios updates fixes. As of now I haven't noticed anything to be a problem except my CD/DVD burner is registered at ATA33 and for some reason my middle channel on my 5.1 system isn't putting anything out. Should I download the new bios, or just stick with what I...
Ok, I have a creative audigy 2 ZS platinum and creative SBS 560 5.1 surround speakers. I just popped in thief 3 and I'm only getting sound from the front L and R speakers, a faint sound out of the sub, and no sound out of the rear and middle speakers..just a bit of static. I thought it might...
