    WMP 10 Sound Tweak

    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...

    Internet Speed

    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

    Internet Speed

    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...

    Internet Slowing down because of Old Router?

    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...

    How do I Compress Video

    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...

    Won't detect Hard Drive

    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...

    Won't detect Hard Drive

    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...

    Can't share files and printer

    Lord, I must be retarded. I thought when I disabled ZoneAlarm that that was no longer a problem. I didn't realize that I had it installed because I uninstalled it on the d/t and didn't see it running on my l/t. I went to add/remove and uninstalled it on my l/t and restarted and now everything...

    Hi, I got the server service started on my desktop by running sfc /scannow. I'm exhausted as to what to do now. I run ping "ip", net view and ipconfig/all from both pc's, my desktop and wireless laptop and posted the links below so that maybe someone can see something I don't. Here's the...

    Hi, I tried everything you listed above and still have the same problem. I'm sure that was something that had to be done to get it working, but my problem now is that the server service will not start. I'm getting the same error messages when I ping or do net view on either computer. I went...
