For a while, I've been trying to make a video on my webcam to send to a friend, and whenever I get into the webcam program, it says my webcam isn't plugged in, no matter how many times I take it out and put it in.
I've tried re-installing it, and it didn't work.
and when I talked to my friend on MSN messanger, I sent him a 'view webcam' request, and it worked!
Any help? ;~;

It started off were it would take a couple pushes of the power button for the computer to boot up, it would usually just flash the lights then shut down. Now, I don't get even get that which leads me to believe that it is the PSU except for the fact that the motherboard is still receiving power because the LED light on the motherboard is still on. Any input would be appreciated.

what's the difference, is one better than the other?

2007-05-02 16:03:01 · 7 answers · asked by Rach81 2 in Printers

Ok, went to best buy, this is what I bought:

Westinghouse - 19" Widescreen Flat-Panel LCD Monitor
5 ms response time;
700:1 contrast ratio;
300 cd/m² brightness;
1440 x 900 maximum resolution;
150° horizontal and 130° vertical viewing angles

was about $209 after all tax.

Then I went into Office Depot looking for a new desk and ran across this:

SAMSUNG C906BW 19" WIDESCREEN LCD
The wide 16:10 aspect ratio
2000:1 contrast ratio
1440 x 900
ultra-fast 2ms (G to G) response time
And exclusive Magic technologies

After mail in rebate would be about $209.

So question is: is it worth it to return the westinghouse and get the Samsung? I've been told it is a better brand.... Does the 5ms vs the 2ms really make a difference? OR any of the other differences? just want some thoughts basically on if it is worth it. thanks :)

i would like to ask is it worth it to buy lcd monitor for my pc use? I heard they say that the lifespan of lcd is 50000 hours is this true?

I also heard that lcd is so bright that it strains the eye, is this true?

How does an lcd get dead pixel and how to prevent it?

Is it true uninstalling your videocard will get rid of the dead pixels? Is it necessary to have a new videocard to use lcd cuz mine is only nvidia 2.

Is it ok to use an analog to digital adapter for the dvi of the lcd?

What is the use of widescreen anyway? Do you know of any wallpaper manager that can enlarge to fit a whole widescreen lcd like 1400*900?

Thanks for reading my questions. i know its so many. But thanks a lot

Hey I have a macbook.

For some reason the screen is dimmed every time I turn it on, and it dims again after it is on for about five minutes.

I can turn the brightness back up. But I have to do it all the time.

I've changed it in preferences & energy saver.

What is making it dim & how do I change that?

Thanks in advance.

What do I do to get it out of the computer. It was a small PSP 512 MB and someone accidentaly let it slip in. How do I get it out and also if it cost money, how much and who is doing it.

I was just wondering that is it safe to use a 400 mHz 256 MB RAM strip with a 333 mHz 512 MB RAM strip. The 512 is the primary. the 256 is already in. Lately my mouse have frozen several times, it never happened before. Anyways, does using RAM strips of different speeds cause any damage like file corruption (like those with a crapped out processor) or hardware damage? I have an Intel (R) 845GVSR motherboard (prety crappy - doesn't support PCIE) that supposedly only supports RAM strips with speeds of up to 333 mHz. Yes the 256 RAM strip is recognized by both the BIOS and the OS (WinXP)
