    Windows 7 Windows Updates, WNDR3700 USB HDD no longer shows up

    I have a Netgear WNDR3700 router (v4) which I got a couple of months ago to replace my dying router. It comes with a ReadyShare USB to Network device portal which allows me to hook up a USB HDD and use it as a network drive. The speeds aren't all that fast, but, for my current purposes it suits...

    Windows 7 Help with choppy live stream issues?

    Yeah, it was stuttering. I'll try whatever I can to get it doing. What I will say is that while my computer is FAR from top-of-the-line it seems weird to me that it should have performance issues streaming at 720p consistently. So, while I believe you, that seems like it shouldn't be the case, no?

    Windows 7 Help with choppy live stream issues?

    With the laptop, because of its age, it is likely a combination of Hardware performance and Network issues. I use Noscript on Firefox and every site has scripts, many of which I have no need to allow so I often get that message and it doesn't bother me. On Twitch it's usually advertising sites...

    Windows 7 Help with choppy live stream issues?

    And this is a "bad" connection which is choppy. However, the laptop is being slow right now so this might be a separate issue instead.

    Windows 7 Help with choppy live stream issues?

    Here's a picture of a "normal" stream quality, no choppiness. I just want to make sure I'm looking at the right info and such, as well as have a baseline.

    Windows 7 Help with choppy live stream issues?

    When I checked out the network thing in Taskmanager the line in it did go down quite a bit during one of the instances (the only one I have been able to check it for so far). It was at about maybe a third of the total space and then dropped to almost nothing.

    Windows 7 Help with choppy live stream issues?

    Thanks for the tip. No progress bars on Twitch, which is what I usually use. However, sometimes I watch recorded stuff and it will also intermittently have problems and the buffer bars are generally stuck or going slowly. By choppy I mean it freezes for a brief moment and then continues. It...

    Windows 7 Help with choppy live stream issues?

    I like watching live streams on Twitch.tv Problem is, I'm getting a lot of choppy play watching them even at 480p which is definitely not as ideal as 720p where I get the clearest quality. I was almost certain the problem was my internet connection. I have to use Comcast, which sucks, but I...

    Windows Vista Microphone Monitor

    So, I have an issue I'm trying to figure right now. I just recently bought a USB Headset for clearer recording of my voice when talking to others. However, I'm often using two computers: my main Desktop with Windows 7, and my Laptop with Windows Vista. Often, I'll play a game on my Windows 7...

    Windows 7 Folders don't display properly on HD?

    This problem is different than I presented it as, because I didn't look at it thoroughly. It appears that some of the folders I thought I deleted hadn't been deleted, but didn't show up in the shared network path, and that's why I thought they were gone. Sorry about the confusion!

    Windows 7 Folders don't display properly on HD?

    I have all of my folders on my D drive set to be network accessible by everyone on the network, mostly so I can share them with my laptop. It's not very secure, but that's not the problem I'm having here. I recently changed some of the organization of the folders on the drive, which included...

    Windows 7 Clicking on Start Menu and Taskbar Items Doesn't Launch Program

    I haven't had any issues with this lately, and I can't remember doing anything other than the .exe association. Though it may be that I did run it a couple times before it stuck permanently (I can't remember). I hope you find a solution though, good luck to you!

    Windows 7 Invisible Change Creates a Barely Visible Problem

    What is the invisible change? I wish I knew, but I can't see it, and that's part of the reason I'm coming to the forums with this problem in the first place. While I may not be an absolute expert on computers, I do know how to do a bit of my own research. However, faced with a problem that I...

    Windows 7 Building a Computer the Right Way

    Thanks again for all of the helpful advice. When I post again it will be with a somewhat flexible, but concrete figure for a budget. But, beyond that I'll try to shy away from posting specific products until I feel I have the funds to justify it, so it might be a little bit before this gets...
