Hi everyone, First of all i apologise if this is in the wrong forum, this problem is a mix of a few sections and software seemed the best place to put, please move if this is not the case. Now to the problem, anytime i play youtube videos or play games, i get a lot of choppy playback and bad...

Hey there. I'm thinking I'm going to purchase a new hard drive to Install Windows 7 on. My idea is to simply swap the jumpers on my existing primary hard drive to make it a slave drive and not worry about backing up my existing data. Seems simple enough, which makes it scary that I can't...

Hi, So I thought I'd start a 'what game are playing Right Now'? Thread. I know this is a 7 games forum and this is just a little light relief... I tend to revisit my games many, many times and I usually have a old favourite like FEAR running as well as a current title. Often though, I'll be...

I'm thinking about picking up one of these boards in a couple weeks.. I just wanted to know if anyone else has one of these models and if it's worth the $230 CAD?.. ;) I've done the usual countless hours of research but I always find the best research is other people's opinions/experiences when...

Edit: Please disregard. There is a new feature in Windows 7 called ClickLock that was the culprit. I can now enjoy my W7 experience again.

Now that 7 RTM'ed .. I am bit disappointed and i am having Postpartum depression :( No more leak builds ... no more wait .... no more "one more thing" .... Will .... this is live ... moving on ...

Ok, so I decided to try the 64 bit version as well. This is a Gateway 3 GHz dual core with 3 GB of ram and lots of disk. This is what I found: 1. Install process was much slower, taking probably twice as long 2. Way less stuff worked, both hardware and software 3. UAC was on, and...

Don't want to make this too long winded so i will try to be concise.I'm a construction guy by trade but have been interested in computing my hole life and it's been an intense hobby for about the last ten years.I am certain that i'm in possesion of the skills to do almost any...

What do you consider the fastest browser based on your personal experience? I'd probably say either Firefox or Chrome.

Hello. I'm trying to access music stores via WMP 12 and it seems to connect to the internett just fine, but on the page where a list of the music stores are supposed to show nothing shows up. There is heading that i think says "categories" that appears for a split second before disapering...

One more "how weird can he be question", is there a way to force all windows to open maximized? I know MS has a reason to default all windows opening half-size (they call it normal), but I wish they would provide a place for us to choose how we want it. Please disregard if I have played...

I know this has to have been asked before, but apparently I can't phrase search questions correctly. (lol) If I want to upgrade from RC 7100 to RC7145(?)(making up a number there), do I get this from an ordinary update, or do I have to download the entire file, or what? If I have to download it...

I would like to know what others are experiencing with shut-down time. My machine was getting slower and slower (5 min. or more) until I did a Defrag using the embeded application instead of using Power-Defrag which had worked for me in the past, but not lately...

When i attempt to open explorer or computer, nothing displays and alll of the icons are circling as if looking for data. This has happened 3 times, and a boot always corrects the problem. Anyone have a similar experience?
