    VLC 1.0 Final released

    Oh nice, maybe I will actually like it now. :) The last one I downloaded was annoying as it made my mouse cursor lose its speed/acceleration setting whenever it was the forefront window, so I'd have to drag my cursor around my entire 19" monitor (not even that big) and run out of mouse pad space...

    diskmgmt.msc menu errors with video showing the problem.

    I bet this guy knows enough about computers to take care of malware... Registry corruption can be fixed with utilities, though, right? Or not 100%? OP, have you tried using "tuneup utilities" by any chance? Heard people recommend that software on this site. I'm betting you've already done...

    Dell XPS Gen 3 VERY Loud!!

    Wait, stop! Umm the heat sink itself can't be defective in the way you describe... the heat sink itself is just the metal part with all the fins, and it doesn't make any noise at all! What the person said about the 250,000 heat sinks being defective, was likely intended to mean the fan on the...

    Computer boot problems

    Okay I have just last week been through a rough time with my computer having crash-on-load problems too... Hmm unfortunately yours sounds different. Do you say that it crashes consistently at the same exact point? Same loading point, that is? My problem was two-fold, but the crashes were not...

    What is causing fluctuating cpu usage spikes when using firefox?

    Holy crap, it's been like an entire month! I'm sorry guys, I normally follow through with my threads all the way, but I got really slammed with summer school and then other things and and ... etc. Anyway, let me try to resurrect this thread. @AT, about your recommendation, I've got your...

    What is causing fluctuating cpu usage spikes when using firefox?

    @ AT and luke... But how is it internet related if it's precisely correlated with the cpu spikes? The cpu spikes (which I show in my screenshot) do not happen independently of my video stuttering; instead, they happen at precisely the same moments. I watch both, and they occur simultaneously. (I...

    What is causing fluctuating cpu usage spikes when using firefox?

    Alright. Well it's not so much that I'm worried... it's just that it's annoying because it often interrupts smooth playback of online videos, like YouTube videos. I try to watch them, and they freeze periodically and then start up again having skipped a second or two of footage. So I've been...

    China's computers at hacking risk

    This is just ridiculous... I never comprehended how bad this Chines censorship phenomenon is until reading that article. It's scary. Sinister, even.

    need a better network setup...

    Hmm AT, they already have 2 routers. Your setup would make one of the routers useless and would require buying 2 switches, if I understand you right? Isn't it possible to use what they already have by making one router act as the "main" router (connected directly to modem) and then making the...

    ISP claims my email is sending out spam?

    Yeah start doing all sorts of adware/malware scans. If you don't already know, the obvious thing to try, besides antivirus, is spybot. It's free.

    Can I have printer plugged into 2 different comps at once?

    Will there be any problems if I have it plugged into 2 computers at the same time? I have my desktop PC (winxp pro) connected to my mfc printer via the old-school LPT port. Meanwhile, the printer also has a USB port. So if I also plug in my mom's laptop (winxp home) into the printer via usb, and...

    What is causing fluctuating cpu usage spikes when using firefox?

    It's probably best if you start by just looking at the attached screenshot. See the cpu spikes in the usage history? I've been experiencing this type of thing a lot when browsing online. I have watched the list of processes, and I see that these cpu usage spikes all happen in firefox. I can't...

    Well, like the thread next to yours, have you tried other usb ports on that computer? Or do all of them not work?

    What is a good alternative website for photobucket?? Photobucket is *terrible*...

    I need some recommendations. I'm completely disgusted with photobucket.com. It is so terribly slow now... how could any website possibly be THAT shitty?? It's ridiculous... What is a good site where you can dump/store your images/photos? Thanks!
