This is really too bad... they were excellent sets (imo) and for the money, you couldn't complain. I had them priced low to mid $3K. Sigh... Mike

I knew this would happen... I've been putting off buying one of Toshiba's beautiful 72" sets and now they seem to have vanished. Did I miss the boat? I just checked Toshiba Canada's website and they no longer have RPTV's listed at all. I'm in the middle of building a home-theater in my basement...

Hi all; I'm wondering if anyone has had any problems with their SA 8300 PVR after hooking up an external harddrive. I've recently added a Maxtor 300GB SATA Harddrive and now have seemingly random pauses during playback. If I rewind it and play the same segment again its ok, so it appears to be a...

The continuuing saga of pain and agony... trying to share a printer on the main machine now, as my Linksys printserver doesn't seem to work anymore with XP across the network. The printer is shared on my PhotoFixer XP Pro machine; other computers on the network can see the PhotoFixer machine...

Hi Vince, sorry for the late reply! I had an older copy of Serv-U hanging around; may not have all the new fancy features, but it sure does the trick. Mike

Hi everyone; thanks for all the replies! I've added my user name / password to the machine I want to connect to; as soon as I did, it disappeared from the Network Places list... ??? When I go back to that machine and remove the name, it reappears on the list. I'm surprised, Microsofts...

Hi Chad; It seems that after SP2 has been applied, none of the "Sharing" property boxes look the same. I can no longer find anything to do with Permissions. The menu only has a checkbox to turn on sharing and what the shared folder will be called. No other options as to who can see it or...

Hello; I've been fighting with "home networking / file sharing" for ages, it always seems to be a problem or tempermental at best. Again, today I need to copy a file across machines and am again fighting with getting it working, so far no luck. I have 2 computers hooked up to a Linksys...

Hi Jason, thanks for the reply - I've checked out the post and made some Doom config adjustments, but no change in frame-rate. I'm still having (what I consider) sluggish video rates in complex rooms. I've found one setting on card software that allows Image Quality to be changed; ranges from...

Hello all; like many, I've always been a die-hard Doom fan, and am now once again in my glory with Doom 3. I recently purchased a new system; P4 3.0Ghz 1GB RAM 160GB HD Soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum Pro nVidia GeForce 6800 Ultra (256MB) Now, the game runs OK - I'm in High Quality...

Thanks for the information! Mike

Hello all! If I have a 4-port Wireless Switch, and all 4 ports are wired up to machines, how many Wireless connections can be accomodated? I haven't purchased yet, but I was looking at Linksys series of Broadband devices. Thanks in advance for any answers!! Mike

Hi John, thanks for the reply. I have 2 x 256MB of RAM in this machine, so I decided to test if one of these may have a problem. I pulled out one of the memory modules and have not had the error since (knock on wood). Going to let it run like this for a while to make sure, but so far so good...

My ThinkPad T20 is recently displaying an error indicated that svchost.exe is referrencing some memory and complaining it cannot be "read" lately, which causes all drag-and-drop functions to stop working, plus any javascript, and certain window pop-up functions. I have to reboot the machine...

I want the "Official Box-set". No! Wait! I want the "Directors-Cut Box-set!" Hang on... No... I want the "Ultimate Collectors Box-set!" NO! I'll get the "Special Edition Box-set"... Yeah... Oh hell, I'll probably end up with all of them like usual... each one adds 3 mins of...

Hi Lew; "Made in Heaven" (1987) with Timothy Hutton et al. Thanks for the reply - 2 to keep on my 'waiting' list most likely then...! Mike

Hello all... I'm curious if the following titles have ever been released on DVD: "Shirley Valentine" and/or "Made in Heaven" Thanks! Mike

Hello - Does anyone know of a version of Solitaire that has LARGE graphics? My grandfather, 88, is still using his computer - or at least trying to - playing his favorite game of Windows Solitaire. The problem is, he's having a very difficult time seeing the cards. I've decreased resolution...

Maybe I should start a new fad... "Collecting DVD Misprints". They must be *fairly* rare... anything 'rare' is worth money (except meat). Hmmm hmm ...ummm. Naw. :) Mike

Just out of curiosity... ...I just bought "The Man Who Wasn't There", sat down one night to watch it, and to my surprise, when I put it in I get the movie "A Troll in Central Park". The DVD case and the DVD itself are TMWWT... Is this a misprint or some screwup, or am I missing the point...

Thank you SO much... Just learned something new about Win2K... Drive is up and running! Man this place is awesome! Thanks again! Mike

Hello all! I'm back to this forum seeking more help! I have just installed a PC with Windows 2000 - no problems there. The problem is... this machine has 2 HD's installed; C: which is the primary drive housing the Win2K OS / formatted NTFS. The second drive, D:, which had to be blown...

PS... Todd, I'm using Windows 2000

Thanks everyone for your replies - a lot of good information, but unfortunately, EasyCD Creator refuses to cooperate. I uninstalled the 5.0 version, and then the older demo version. With a clean setup, I then installed 5.0. During the install, ECDC said that DirectCD was not compatible with...

Hi John; What exactly is "Direct CD" ? When I installed EasyCD 5.0, during the install, it says that a "newer version" was already installed. Not sure if that's from the demo copy, or what. I assumed it was from Windows 2000, like DirectX or something funky... Mike

Thanks for the replies guys... Kevin; Good idea about the uninstalling - I read that somewhere else now too that things go berzerk if you don't de-install any previous versions first... that EasyCD 5.x doesn't "upgrade" per say... will give it a shot. Chris; I've tried both Track-at-once...

Hi John; Thanks for the reply - Nero is next on my list to try. I'm curious though why a demo copy of EasyCD would work fine, but not the full-blown version. A lesson in "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" I suppose. Thanks again! Mike

Hi All; I've just installed EasyCD 5.0x on my machine at home, and spent a late night creating shiny new coasters for my coffee table. I've created a "Data-CD Project" containing a number of MP3 files (some in the root directory, and some in a folder). The disc itself is a 700MB disc, like...

Hi Jim, thanks for the reply - Do you know what model would be considered similar? I'm not familiar with their line... I would *guess* that perhaps CN32X81 would exist, but didn't find one of those or anything like that either. Any ideas? Ideally, the one thing about their TV is that you must...

I'm busy trying to impress the fact that my parents should get a Pronto remote, as they are suffering from the quagmire of remote-control-overload with all their components. They have a Toshiba CN36X81 television. I'm seeking a Pronto .ccf file which contains the setup for this television (or...
