I have no other PCs that would take DDR RAM and none that would take a Socket 939 CPU either so I can't really test them :(. I did try to clear the CMOS, forgot to mention that - there was no change. I can't actually get another look at the capacitors until I next get to see the PC which might...

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...

Sorry, I always miss out on the basic stuff when writing long posts :P. I'm using Windows XP Professional SP3. I did have a look at that solution but there is no Task Scheduler Library so it must only apply to Vista.

I see. I had a look through the WMP11 plugins I have and there are only 4, none of which could be to do with this problem. :(

Dell's BIOSs are notoriously rubbish for having next to no options, including nothing useful about the video card unfortunately. I just tried the the verifier - it says I need to contact my laptop manufacturer for drivers. Incidentally, the drivers I installed (8.9) aren't even the latest...

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...

I don't think there are any? When you click a link to a video file like that it usually just opens WMP11 and streams in that.

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...

For future reference, www.google.com/ncr takes you to google.com and prevents redirection to other countries' versions of Google. :)

Hmm it seems to be related to Explorer somehow. Currently, everything's fine until I open an Explorer window. Then things start going strange and right-click functionality disappears virtually everywhere. More examples of the effects: http://www.aotplaza.com/Files/Tek-Tips/MSPaint%201.PNG...

I just had it happen again when I opened Media Player Classic - nothing happened when I opened it so I went to see if the process had started and I got this when the Task Manager appeared: http://www.aotplaza.com/Files/Tek-Tips/Task%20Manager%201.PNG

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...

OK well I decided to try to install a different random free DVD codec before installing the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack and then unticking anything to do with MPEG2 in that. Now it works properly. O_o Maybe one of my codecs automatically updated itself (and was subsequently included in version 4 of...

Well...I reformatted and reinstalled my Windows partition because of various other annoyances and the problem STILL exists. I don't get it. I did all the basic stuff (installed all drivers, updated to SP3, ran Microsoft Update, installed anti-virus, etc.) and then installed K-Lite Mega Codec...

Well I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack a few times and now I can't get any picture at all from DVDs no matter what I set to be my MPEG2 decoder. :/ I think I need a codec killer or something but I can't find any.

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...

Nither of those things work. Yeah that thread went a bit weird because I was talking about two things at once. Basically I did not find a solution to the problem before I had to go home. However, I have confidence that once the router arrives (and thus I will no longer have to sign-in all the...

No, ADSL is only always on if you have a router (or maybe a decent modem - my cable connection at home is just a modem and that's always on). The ADSL modem here is rubbish and requires dialing 0 every time you logon or connect it. Both IE7 and Firefox have the same connection settings. By the...

It is a crappy little modem that just connects by USB.

OK the problem did not exist in Safe Mode because the drivers for the modem were never loaded (the connection was not in Network Connections). SFC /scannow seems to have fixed the problem, although the original problem with the modem still exists. This is not a huge problem though because if...
