    Hardware Radio Control Switch????

    You guys Nailed it! That was it! Never knew what that button was for- It's right next to the Hibernate button,and has some wierd lines on it that could mean anything. I usually enable the radio, as I said from the toolbar-where the icon is more obvious-by right clicking on it. My...

    Portable DVD Player Battery prob

    Thanks Chuck and all. No problems with the battery contacts. The player was pretty new,and wasn't used much-thats why i'm trying to figure out what went wrong. Your manual brings up my possible theory that running the battery all the way down may "kill it". Don't think that should be...

    Portable DVD Player Battery prob

    Thanks guys; Battery IS fully discharged,and will not recharge. The unit only charges when it is plugged in,and the player is turned off-there's a light that tells it's charging,but no longer will the light come on. Thats why I think it's a circuit problem too. Pretty sure i'll have to...

    Best Printer for Cheap Cartridges

    Couldn't stand the crappy copy's lately-so I went out and bought an HP Deskjet 5740 today. Have to give it time to see if it gunks up. First printer I owned was an awful HP-hopefully this will be better. I liked the looks/ergonomics better than the Canon's (probabley a mistake on my part)...

    Yes it's the GW-model # KF-60WE610. I got mine for about the same price-so i'd say you got a good price there. Hopefully we won't get too many folk that say they got their's for much less (I hate that-don't U?). CC

    50" or 60" Sony LCD

    HI Gang; About to pull the trigger on one of these today!!!! Reason for post is....the 50 and 60 use the same bulb I believe-Do you think that the 60 will be LESS clear with the bigger surface area??? With the 50 the light is more condensed (less surface area) thereby yielding a more...

    End of story!!! As I suspected there are cheap DVD player's that "will" play "data disc's". I did another search,and came up with some player's that decode data mpg's-my expensive Pioneer will not:frowning: Solution for me was to pick up a "cheapie" that will now allow me to burn all my...
