Hi, Somehow the other day my kids upgraded to wmp11. I noticed that the sound coming out of my speakers wasn't near as good as it was. I've adjusted the volume and went into the advanced properties and everything else I can think of. I rolled it back to wmp10 and still haveing the same...

Hi, I ran a test on my PC at http://pcpitstop.com/internet/default.asp and it suggested that I adjust my "receive buffer size." I made the changes in the registry and changed it to 64240 KB. Now it's perfect. 75 feet away and getting 4706mbs on my laptop. Thanks

Hi, I am currently running at 5 megs(which I'm not sure, but I think that means megabytes per second?) through my ISP through a cable modem. I've always ran 3, but they bumped it up tonight as a promotion until December for free. I have two questions. How does this work? I go to PC Pitstop...

Hi, Just to give an update. I was about to buy another router because I was getting nothing but low connections when I decided to go back to this thread. I check for a firmware update, and there was one. However, all it changed was the layout of the settings page when adjusting them...

Hi, I have a movie on my desktop that I was trying to burn to DVD. I downloaded from a friend and it says that it's a 660mb divx file. But when I open it up in Nero 7 it says that it's going to take up 4.37 of 4.38gbs of the DVD. Well, when Nero transcodes it, it says there's not enough room...

Thanks so much for the suggestions! I'm going through them all now. Thanks again CntComplain

Hi, I have a Lynksys 2.4ghz, model 802.11b wireless router. It's about 4 years old or better. My internet speed on my desktop is about 3mhz. The internet speed used to be wide open on my laptop, but for the last while it has been slowing down and says low connection most of the time. I'm...

Hi, Went through the list and noticed something. When I plug the USB HD in, instead of showing up under Mass Storage Devices, it's showing up under disk drives as a WDC(plus bunch of numbers), lol. That's bout the best way I know to say it without actually putting them all here. Anyways...

Hi, I've tried everything above. Both PC's are running XP. When I plugged the HD into the laptop I checked and seen it's formatted as FAT32. Also, the J: drive is what the external HD is showing up as. My built in CD burner was showing as E:, which is what the External HD used to show as. I...

Hi, I forgot to mention that when I double click the "local disk" volume it says that the drive needs to be formatted. But like I said earlier everything is fine when plugged into other pc.

Yes, cdogg. As a matter of fact, plugging into my laptop is the only way I can access the files on it. It shows up as an Iomega HD on my laptop! I was just able to log back in and check the responses, so I'm gonna try some of the suggestions by linney and will let you know what I find. Nero...

Hi, I have an iomega external hd. It picks up fine as "iomega" on my laptop and as of a few days ago, it always worked fine on my desktop. Now when I plug it into my desktop it shows up as local disk and when I click on it, it says drive needs to be formatted, but as I said earlier, no...
