I recently upgraded my laptop from Vista Ultimate 64 bit to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit and I am noticing frame pauses when I am playing video games on my system. One game I am noticing it a lot on is World of Warcraft. When I was playing it on Vista 64 bit everything ran smoothly, now when...

I am currently running Vista 32-bit on my laptop. I pretty much know what the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit is, but I don't understand the technical aspect as well. I followed Microsoft's lead to find out whether my computer is 64-bit capable or not, but upon following the instructions...

I've had Windows 7 RC1 for a few months now, and up until now it's been working flawlessly. Now when I'm doing anything, I click with the mouse, the window loses focus to another window. This is hard to describe but I've noticed that some of the open programs on the taskbar also disappear but...

I have the Windows 7 RC 64-bit installed on my comp, and I have been using WMP12 for a few months now with no issues up until recently.

Opinion on new Dell XPS m1330 webcam, poor audio, slow, overall opinion-bought June 2008 Vista Web Cam-Terrible:Better frame rates in better light though, but still sub-par performance. Audio: Also such lousy speakers in my new (June 08) XPS 1530. Like an old transistor radio if you are old...
