I don't want anything with too much crap I don't need, but the small utils I've tried often don't have a log file or report where it's easy to locate actual outages as opposed to 1-2 bad pings... Also, whatever you think is important... Thanks!

I tried searching for "serious sam", "serious", and "Serious" just now and not no results for any of them. Double checked spelling!

Or on ios? I recently played XCOM (EU and EW) and I'm playing Pillars on PC, and I've always been curious as to how they work with a gamepad or on an ipad in the case of XCOM. XCOM seems like it'd be fine, and I wouldn't be surprised if they simplified the game partially for this reason, but...

Or does it wait until they've all been moved, then erase them? I was trying to copy a folder with about 4000 files from one drive to another and I accidentally started to move them when I meant to copy. I immediately noticed the mistake and hit cancel, then copied it. About 100 or so files...

It gave me the "CACHE MANAGER" bsod while installing to a "new" refurbished hdd. I've installed this exact copy of Windows 7 many times before on a different hdd with no issues at all. This is the worst error I've ever gotten while installing Windows, going back over 20 years... I ran every...

The forum search can't seem to process the term '3DS' so I went back and found old threads manually. I thought having 1 large thread might work better maybe? I have some old questions but I'd mostly like to focus on current 3DS news, including sales, hence the title. First old question: I...

Here's my wireless setup: Broadband modem with built in wireless router is on bottom floor of a 3 floor house. Last year we added a Cisco wireless extender (RE1000) on the middle floor, which helped (particularly on that floor.) It's an open concept house on the top 2 floors, but the...

Firstly, the drive has bad sectors, but I patched them with Seatools DOS. It qualifies for warranty replacement, correct? Second, their packing instructions have me a bit concerned. I bought it OEM so I don't have the original box. I was gonna put it in a static bag, put that in a foamy...

Does it have to be actual vram or can it be system ram that's been allocated to an onboard gpu? Also, is there a way to change how much is allocated? If it matters, it'll be a Win 10 machine. Gonna be stuck with onboard gpu in the near future :(

Someone I know took their iPad mini (1st generation I think) in to get the screen fixed, and they wiped it without asking. I have no idea whether it was a quick wipe or something more permanent. She has an itunes backup from April, but we'd like to see if anything since then can be recovered...

I'm looking at getting one of these and updating the rosters with a community mod...I don't care about graphics and the last one I played was 2005. (Would have been nice if EA Sports hadn't made one during the lockout season...)

My main hdd (Seagate Barracuda 2GB) had 8 bad sectors detected by Seatools DOS. I repaired them, but I regret that now because I'm gonna start copying the important data to another drive and if I'd left them unrepaired, I'd know if any of my important files were corrupted cause I'd get some...

To be more specific, for which socket will AMD/Intel keep producing CPUs for the longest? I'm making a budget rig and wondering which one will allow me to put off upgrading the CPU the longest before it gets to the point where it's a pain to even find a CPU that isn't pre-owned... I understand...

EDIT: (On certain packages) I have Rogers, which is 1 of 2 big telecoms in this area. I believe the rest of them piggyback off of those 2 networks. (Canada has other big telecoms but not here.) Recently, people in this house wanted unlimited monthly bandwidth. The only way to get that was...

Current rig: i5 @ 2.8Ghz NVidia 250 1GB VRAM 4GB RAM Socket LGA1156 MB with P55 chipset I'm trying to help someone upgrade their rig and they're adamant about replacing all of those parts, despite being on a budget. Personally, I think they should only upgrade the GPU and RAM, but they're not...
