First off, I have this laptop: Samsung Chronos 700z5b-s01ub http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/pcs/NP700Z5B-S01UB-specs It's running Win7 64bit. In about 4 days, it will be 5 years old. Malwarebytes reports zero malware and except for this screwy bluetooth issue, it seems to be running fine...

My current setup has been working fine, but it's only a/b/g 10/100 and I want to go 10/100/1000 and n band for faster network transfer speeds and advanced support with our newer rigs. My setup currently is all Lynksis based and I've been using it for years, but it doesn't like 2TB drives, plus...

I'd prefer one with templates to make life easier. It's for my bro. I don't really know why he wants such a program, but he does. Free or pay program recommendations welcome. Thanks.

OK, here's the deal, it's time to get rid of my old car (1995 Saturn SL2) and get another beater. While in appearance, the car "looks" OK, it's actually totally beat. Here's a pic taken with my cellphone just a couple minutes ago: The crap on the door is just dirt. I can't take it to car...

Wanna hear MY idea for the greatest game ever? No? Well too bad! I'm gonna tell you anyway. :evil: This game would be called something like Cutesy Death Fest, or Death to Cutesy. It would be an M rated game....possibly even Adults Only. Actually, there isn't a rating strong enough to rate this...

We have a Vista setup running a Core 2 Quad Q6700. Previously, we had it set up with DDR2 800 RAM....we discovered a bad stick that was preventing the system from booting. We removed the stick and the system worked. Now we bought better RAM (DDR2 1066) and the computer is resetting before it...

Does anyone know of a program that will convert a movie DVD that is PAL to NTSC format? A friend bought a DVD from Amazon called Vivaldi: 4 Seasons, or something like that and he didn't realize it was in PAL. He can play it on a PC, but would like to convert it to work on an NTSC system. He...

OK, all of our PC's (8 total; 7 XP and 1 Vista Home Premium) have extra drives in them for storage, except for the laptop, of course. With the Vista machine, I can see into the XP machine's storage drives and push and pull files from them no problem, but the XP machines can't look into the...

My brother and I are setting up our first Vista PC. It will mainly be for recording HD stuff from TV and to compliment our 52 inch Samsung LCD HDTV. Might play the occasional game on it, but it won't be it's primary function. Specs: Asus P5Q-E motherboard Asus 4670 video card 2gig RAM...

....to know the number you're dialing from. I KNOW there's a number.......I remember using it years ago. You dial it and an automated voice will tell you the number you're calling from, but I don't rem what the number is anymore. Here's why I ask. Our phone line is dead. Our DSL (on the...

What's a decent sound card for an MCE2005 system? I don't want an expensive card, just one that works without problems and does 5.1 adequately. The problem we're having is we get an occasional stutter in movie playback using onboard sound and we believe it's the onboard sound causing the...

Not sure which forum would be appropriate, so I used this one. Sorry if it's wrong...... I did a Google search and the few places I checked out all want $40 for a replacement screen. Anyone know of a place to get them cheaper? The model of Ipod is an A1136, which is a 5th gen Ipod video...

Are the power/serial connectors for a laptop sata drive the same as a sata drive for a desktop? If not, what's different?

Even though it's essentially useless these days, how much do you think an unopened original version of Windows 3.1 OEM would be worth to an enthusiast? From what we can see through the shrink wrap, it appears to contain the five 3.5 disks, the manual, a smaller booklet next to the disks and a...
