Hi all, A friend's PC that I built a few years ago is acting strangely. When the power cable is plugged into the power supply, the PC turns on automatically but half of the components do not turn on (the CPU fan at least is on, the DVD+RW drive, case fans and HDDs are off) and there is no...

Hi all, I have a Dell Inspiron 6400 with an ATI Radeon Mobility X1300 graphics card. Up to now I've been using desktop Radeon drivers (using the ATI Mobility Modder .NET program to allow them to install on my laptop) because the Mobility Radeon section on the ATI website just tells you to go to...

Hi, At first I thought there was something wrong with the links I was using to access my uploaded AVI files (example: http://aom.heavengames.com/Technical%20Help%20FAQ/Videos/Disable%20Automatically%20Restart.avi). When I go to this link in IE7, I get an "Internet Explorer cannot display the...

After using my laptop for internet browsing and music listening etc. for a few hours, I keep getting these weird bugs, mainly to do with Explorer. Things like Task Manager just not opening (a beep instead) or opening but with half of the buttons missing, Explorer opening without any buttons or...

Hi all, This must've started less than a week ago because watching DVDs in WMP11 was fine then. But now, they are all stretched. No matter what the aspect ratio should be, it is always resized to 3:2 (i.e. 720x480 square pixels). Right-clicking on the chapter and pressing Properties gives...

Hi, I've come to stay with my dad for two weeks and have noticed that on his computer no Microsoft programs that I can see work: - IE7's main tab always says "Connecting..." and the tab is blank. - Windows Live Messenger never connects and then crashes (no error message, just stops...

Hi all, I've never programmed in PHP but I do have a lot of experience in VB.NET so I've been able to make a great many changes to my phpbb3 forum using common sense and my general programming knowledge. I am stuck on two things however. I wish to change the way two of the BBCode tags work...

Hi guys, I wanted to find out why some of you use Fortran. I ask this because of a recent coding experience I've had. I have a six-week Computational Modelling project to do for my Physics degree (second year), and everyone's doing it in Fortran because that's what we were taught in the first...

I tried to install .NET 3.5 and it got to 100% and stayed there for over an hour. I needed to turn my laptop off to get some sleep (exams :(), so had to end task (clicking Cancel did nothing). Now all .NET programs crash upon launch. I have tried reinstalling .NET 3.5 and .NET 3.0 SP1 and both...

When I try to connect to ESO (the online service for the game Age of Mythology: The Titans), 95% of the time my connection, which was fine beforehand, loses connection to the internet (but not to the wireless network), resulting in the "limited or no connectivity" message, and me having to...

I have a BT Home Hub, and while it was fine signal-wise when I was in this rented house by myself for the Summer (although it needed resetting every day), since everyone else has moved in and all connected wirelessly, I get signals ranging from excellent to poor, seemingly randomly. Someone...

A friend of mine has this graphics tablet on a work PC, and they've all just been upgraded to Windows XP Professional (bit late!), and now this graphics tablet doesn't work properly. It "works", but the speed settings are all wrong (moving the device 30cm makes the mouse pointer move 3cm on the...

Using Windows Media Player 11 on Windows XP (on my widescreen, 16:10, 1280x800 laptop screen), anamorphic widescreen DVDs show with borders around all edges (at the correct aspect ratio though). It's as though WMP11 is set to "4:3 Letterbox" mode, and then is filling in the sides of the screen...

Hi, I recently ripped the entire Beatles CD Catalogue to WMA Lossless (after having them as 192Kbps MP3s for a year) for archival purposes mainly because the CDs are quite old (around 5 tracks in total had unrecoverable errors already according to Exact Audio Copy). Anyway, the files play fine...

Are all GeForce 8800 GTS Graphics Cards HDCP Comaptible? i.e. will they all play HD content correctly on Vista (assuming the monitor is also HDCP enabled)? Or are only some of them HDCP compatible?

Hi, I have a set of speakers with a standard 3.5mm plug, and I use them with my PC currently, but I'm getting a new monitor and will be able to use my GameCube with this monitor so I want to use my speakers also. So I need some sort of simple adapter preferably with a switch that will allow me...

Hi, this is a bit off topic, but I couldn't think of any better place to put this thread... Basically, I'm interested in trying out DVD-Audio, but obviously I don't want to buy an expensive stand alone player. I spent a long time searching for info on this, but I could only find snippets on...

I just replaced the GeForce2 MX 400 in my home PC with a GeForce 6200. I installed nVidia's latest drivers, and it works great, except that (and I'm assuming this is what's causing the problem), now when I open a DivX file in WMP11, the colours are screwed up. Basically, the colour information...

My friend who has a dual boot setup using Boot Manager of XP and 2000, tried to install Vista on a new partition. The install went fine, but Vista replaced Boot Magic with its own boot manager. This was a problem since it didn't detect Windows 2000 - only XP ("Legacy") and Vista. So my friend...

Hi, I have the following code: READ(5,*) StartNumberInput IF(StartNumberInput == 'X' .OR. StartNumberInput == 'x') THEN RootNumber = 4 ELSE READ(StartNumberInput,*) Initialx0(2) x0 = Initialx0(2) END IF (StartNumberInput is a character/string, Initialx0 and x0 are Real Numbers)...
