Matt, I upgraded Flash last night to Version 11. I am not sure what Silverlight is, but I have Version 4 installed. I am not sure if all Windows updates are current, but I will check tonight. All that being said, my streaming worked perfectly well before but has now stopped functioning properly...

Hello all, I always get such good advice from HTF, so here goes... My Dell laptop used to stream video (hulu, etc) perfectly well. Then, I had an issue with the power not working, and Dell came out to fix it. Well, needless to say, after a month of not powering on, the laptop worked fine when...

Joe, I was just downstairs playing with the cable box. I finally gave up, and did the old "fail safe" and unplugged the box. That fixed the problem.... My cable company is Cablevision for what that is worth. I just saw that you suggested the same thing. I wish i had thought of that before...

Hi, I have the following set up - Scientific Atlanta 8300 HD cable box to an HK 7200 receiver. The cable box is connected via optical cable. I have never had a problem before, but starting today, there is no sound coming out. I plugged the DVD player in the optical port currently being used...

Dennis, Okay... This is all getting a bit too confusing for me. In any event, since everyone seems to think that I can get a new laptop for ~$500 to do what I need to do, I think that is the approach that I will take. So, now I need advice for what to buy. Again, I use my computer for internet...

Sorry in advance for being so computer illiterate... I have a 2 Gig USB drive (which I apready used with this laptop). If I plug in the zip drive and try to boot windows from a CD, what will happen? I just want to test if the problem is my hard drive or my mother board.

I am planning on buying an external hard drive anyway (for future backup purposes). Could I use such an external hard drive for this purpose? Also, could I use a 2 Gig UBS hard drive to test my current laptop to make sure that the problem is my hard drive and not my mother board? thanks

yes, there is a hard drive. But, perhaps the connection is shot. How do I check/fix it?

Okay... Here goes... I tried booting up my laptop last night, and wrote down everything that happened. Hopefully, someone can help! Upon turning on the machine, the screen said: Select an option and press enter: 1. Go to Windows 2. Boot from CD-Rom Select an option: If I hit "1"...

Thanks! I will try to boot up tonight and copy down all of the relevant information for posting tomorrow. Allan

1. Budget - We'll pay whatever it costs to get a reliable machine that does what we need. Ideally, the cheaper the better.... 2. This laptop remains in one location in our house for the most part, but does, at times, move about to different rooms. Also, it will be travel outside the house...

My laptop (a Gateway) stopped working. I will copy down all of the error message tonight and post a separate question seeking to fix it (in order to copy certain files I still need). That being said, it is an old laptop and thus it is time to buy a new one. However, I have no clue what to look...

UPDATE.... I followed everyone's advice and, as it turns out, somehow my wireless device driver was in fact missing. So, I reinstalled it off my drivers disk. Now, the Wireless icon appears again in the system tray. However, I still cannot get my internet to work again. (Also, my wired driver is...

This board is so great with providing assistance! I found a CD labeled "Gateway Applications & Drivers" (my laptop is a Gateway). So, I presume that the wireless and wired drivers are on it? Assuming so, will it be self-explanatory to reinstall them? thanks!!!

I don't know... Where would I find those drivers??? Would they be on the Windows XP CD?

Marko, I tried that and no wireless connections were listed. It is almost as if my laptop no longer recognizes that I have wireless capability. Is there a fix anyone can think of???

Hello, I was hoping someone here with computer expertise could please help me! Anyway, here is the situation. I have a laptop that was connecting wirelessly to the internet. A few nights ago, when I turned it on, the computer said that there was no operating system. So, I reinstalled Windows XP...

Hello- I have a new Time Warner HD cable box that has an HDMI output. Will an HDMI cable provide a better picture than component video cables? If I run an HDMI cable from the cable box to the TV, I assume I can also run sounds via optical cable directly to my receiver and simply turn off the...

Finally had time to bring the 7200 into the store this past Friday (Sept. 23). They said they will call me with an update in 5-7 business days....

Thanks. Update - Called the store I bought it at (Onecall) and they said to just bring it in to an authorized HK repair center. So, I am planning on doing just that....

Paul, My rcvr is still under the 2 year warranty, and I actually bought an extended warranty as well. (so, I am not worried about coverage.) Being that I am in the 2 year warranty period, would you recommend that I contact HK directly or the store that I bought it at? thanks

I was thinking it could be a fuse problem. Could you explain how to check it and how to fix it? thanks!

Hi all, I have had the Harman Kardon 7200 for about 1.5 years now and been very happy. Yesterday, however, the recevier stopped working. specifically, it will not turn on. I unplugged it, waited a bit, and plugged it in again and still nothing. I tried several outlets (which I know work) and...

I am thinking of buying a dog. My wife and I live in an apt. Thus, I am thinking of a small dog (< 10 pounds). Any suggestions? Also, we are both extemely busy. Although I love dogs and would him/her as often as I could, I don't think we could committ to walking every day, twice a day. Are any...

I looked through the manual and on-line couldn't figure out how to add a new sub-category for expenses. Specifically, under "auto", I want to add the subcategory of "EZ-Pass". Yet, when I go to "add a category", I can't seem to figure out how to add a sub-category (vs. a whole new category)...

I just watched the Pilot two nights ago and was shocked at how bad the picture looked. Anyone know why? Haven't had a chance to watch any other eps, but it is nice to hear that the picture improves dramatically!

I beleive that my computer has a DVD/CD R-W burner. I would like to save files to CD and then later on add files to that very same CD. Is this possible? If so, what sort of CDs do I need to buy? Are CD-Rs sufficient? thanks

I am need of a new set of headphones as well. I use them mainly for the gym and want ear-bud type headphones. I am looking at the Shure E2c. Anyone use those? They seem to get very good reviews and I can get them for around $60 (not too expensive). Thoughts? Also, the cord seems to be 62 inches...

I finally decided to get my finances in order using one of these programs (rather than a simple Excel spreadsheet I created). Anyway, I read the reviews on both on Cnet and both got some good and some bad reviews. Any comments on which to get? Also, I can get the 2004 version of Money really...
