    ATI All-in-wonder 7500 audio?

    Kinda late response, but just in case you are still having problems I do have a couple of thoughts. 1) The AIW has three inputs (CATV, Composite, S-Video) if I recall correctly. where: CATV = Cable input with sound / video Composite = Video only S-Vdideo = Video only 1) I'm guessing...

    ATSC Tuner/Cablecard Questions

    Kahlil, You may be complicating things more than you need to. In simple term; 1) ALL TV's will have NTSC tuners, (can't be called a TV otherwise) 2) Some TV's have dual tuners (NTSC) and will be advertised as such 3) Therefore, any ATSC TV will have full NTSC tuning functionality...

    No color adjust on DVI? How common is this?

    I think that you are safe Bud. The Mits xx515's have seperate color memory for DVI, and I "assume" the same would be true for the xx315's. Maybe this is just a Plasma thing :thumbsdown: Although, the xx515 line seems to have the same problem (no permanent settings) with the Firewire IEEE-1394...

    Start up Problem

    Try this to see if you can narrow down the problem, by elimnation Startup items. I'd suggest that you try eliminating ALL of them first, then add them back one at a time. Eliminate ALL Startup Items 1) Start in Safe Mode (no networking needed) 2) Click: Start -> Run 3) Type: msconfig...

    HDMI, worth the $$$?... what about "cheap" cables...

    Jeff, My box comes tomorrow, so maybe I will have a definite answer. Meanwhile, $200 is a bit pricey for me. In the analog world my (not too precise) eyes/ears can agree that cables can make a significant difference. However, for these purposes HDMI = DVI = Digital, and bits is bits, so its a...

    Need help in connecting 6412 & VCR

    Hopefully you have figured this out by now, but just in case.. You could just use the Composite Video & Analog Audio connectors to connect these together. If you don't have them already, you will need two inexpensive A/V cables and connect them like this. Cable 1 DVR --> VCR Y VOut - Vid...

    TV vs. Projector

    :) Thanks for asking a good question Kevin! But, before you relax and spends you money on RP LCD.... I believe they have a replaceable bulb also. Although I'm not sure what the life expectancy is, I KNOW that it's not up to the CRT levels. Good Luck 53" Sony RP-CRT - 9 years and going....

    Video Problem

    Eric, your temps of 90/102 is that Faranheit or Celceius? Big difference, since 90F is cool and 90C is deadly. Also, is the machine shutting down, or is just the video shutting down?

    Can I install Microsoft XP disc that came w/ my laptop onto my desktop?

    No, MS licensing requires you to buy a new XP license/CD. Since you have to ask, then YES you will lose your saved data/programs. This is the safe assumption to take, so backup before doing anything. K

    Need help connecting Front Panel ports to MB

    First the obvious, -- Don't worry unless you really plan on using these ports. I find that I never use the Front panel audio ports, but thats just my setup. Second, you should have jumpers preinstalled between: L-Out -> Bline_Out_L and R-Out -> Bline_Out_R These route the sound to the...

    I'm looking for some advice on improving my hard drive setup

    Mike - a couple of suggestions. 1) I'm no writer, but it would help readers a bit if you would make smaller paragraphs. Maybe 3-4 sentences. 2) Remove the 120Gb, using the 20Gb as master and boot from WinXP Setup Boot Disks 3) Install XP to the 20Gb 4) Add the 120Gb (as slave) and do...

    Beyond TV 3.5

    I DL'd 3.4 a week before the 3.5 release, and was just getting to purchase it - but I anxiously awaited the builtin support in 3.5 for a serial cable box connection. So, when I got the email that 3.5 it seemed like a good idea to try it. Wow, I had nothing but trouble from day one. Part of it...

    Building PC. Need advice.

    Looking at your list of power eaters - (Video, Tuner, 1 HD, 1 DVD) - I doubt if you will really need 450w. But then again, power supplies are cheap insurance. (I'm running a AMD 2200, with 2 DVD drives, floppy and 4 HDs using a 420w with no problems.) Get a 350w minimum, and you will be fine...

    How to hook up a printer WIRELESS

    Sorry to hear you are still struggling with the printer. Contrary to contemporary logic, I find it best to seperate this into 2 distinct areas, and attack them one at a time. First, you have the PC to Linksys Print Server connection, and then the actual Konica printer itself...

    How to hook up a printer WIRELESS

    Glenn is correct, of course... you can use what you have and get it working. If you were not connecting a color laser, I'd let it drop. But you are spending $1k and deserve your monies worth. So, as it stands, any print functions will be limited to what the Linksys print server supports...

    Upgradeability of Slot-1 PII-350MHz CPU?

    If my memory serves me correctly, the problem will be the Intel 440BX chipset. I wasted money on my machine a couple years ago and regret every minute/dollar of it. Strongly suggest you buy a new motherboard/memory and save yourself some aggravation. Here is a place to start if you are...

    How to hook up a printer WIRELESS

    Interesting choice you made, since you have both an intelligent network (ethernet) ready printer and a separate wireless print server. ASSuming you already have a wireless network router installed, and functioning, then the answer to your question is YES. Existing router --(wireless)->...

    Old 300mhz laptop vs portable dvd player

    Good point on the battery, I've never gotten more than 1 hour myself, even when they were new. Anyway, I've had a Port Universal Auto/Air power adapter for many years, which has adapters for every major laptop, and works in a car's lighter, as well as on those finicky plane connections. I...

    Old 300mhz laptop vs portable dvd player

    Excellent idea, in theory. The only problem that I've seen is being able to find a cheap laptop that has a DVD drive, AND the corequisite s/w drivers. In general, if you find that it will give you decent playback. For example, my old Toshiba Portege (266 or 366Mhz) works just fine with the...

    Windows Media Player help, audio briefly halts during playback.

    John - You did the right thing! S:) The buffer setting just uses a bit more memory, and makes it take longer before starting the playback. This is neccessary on slower machines and/or network connections. Doe'snt really cause any other problems that I know of.
