I have a NEC DVD+-RW ND-6500A dvd+-RW drive and recently I found brands of DVD's such as sony and fujifilm that my drive can't write onto. Can someone tell me where I can find out the way to differentiate the supported and unsupported types or better list all the supported brands.

Thanks.

Well....I've had problem with a change of master Drives....

I doubt it(actually I don't remember) but....If a HardDrive that for some reason isn't available and claims it needs to be formatted....Would it matter if the new Master is NTFS when the old one was FAT32?? would it affect the (probably ntfs) slave drive???

It's weird because even if i switch the old Master back in there....the slave drive still isn't available...


any ideas???

Will Far Cry run on an ATI Radeon x300 graphics card with 128 mb of video ram? My PC meets all of the other "Recomended Requirements" as far as cpu speed, amount of ram, etc. I just hope it plays okay on the graphics card I have....

My computer came with a 4 conductor cable for modem, it wasn't long enough so I bought a longer one. The longer one is only 2 conductors. Does this make a difference as far as speed goes? I used to use the 4 but I moved my desk and now need the longer one. It just seems slower than it used to be. Thanks

Hi all i recently bought the world of warcraft burning crusade, and it seems like weird. Everytime i alt tab the game to get to thottbot.com to check up on tips, the IE the doesn't seem to load its only when i alt tab back into the game and alt tab out again is the IE there,and i can't type a thing or click a thing once i alt tab,the only thing that works well is when i alt tab to play the game. Secondly its weird once i finish playing the game and log out, my screen doesn't go back to its desktop screen...eg...u see the desktop bg and my computers bla bla....instead there is a blank screen with lots of line in between and grey in color. Some sort of static lines...like when ur graphic card is corrupted or something. This problem never occured in the older world of warcraft only in this expansion pack. Thanks a mil.
I'm running on 128mb Nvidia geforce fx. 1gig ram and 80 gig hd.

Price vs. Performance, should I get an X-Fi, or should I save up a bit more and get a nice pair of surround speakers?

I do want the Logitech Z-5300E 5.1's, because they seem to be excellent speakers for the performance, judging by the reviews on Newegg.

Thanks.

I've got an ancient dell (manufactured with Win98 but I installed XP on it, thats how old it is) and lately I've had problems with the display. When I boot up (or attempt to anyway) I see nothing on the screen. The monitor detects that its plugged into something because if you unplug it, it'll say "check cable". If its plugged in, and the computer is off, the LED light will blink. If it's plugged in and the comp is on, normally it would be solid. Now when I turn it on, it blinks as if the comp is off and I get nothing. All of the hardware is stock (except for a dvd-drive, sound card, and a new hard drive which has been working ever since I got them). I never installed a new graphics card, I use the one that is built into the motherboard's chipset which I assume is now broken. So.. that being said, does anyone have any ideas? Oh and I know its not the monitor because I've tried two others and they both do the same thing.

my options are a 320GB SATA2 segate baracuda 7000.10 with 16MB of cache. it is 180$
or a250GB SATA2 segate baracuda 7000.10 with 8MB of cache and it costs 140$
or a 250Gb Seagate 7200.1 ES ST3250620NS SATA2 Hard Drive which has 16Mb of cashe but is designed for servers that go 24/7 and is really reliable but costs 175$.
All have a 5 year warenty and use perpendictular technology and are all very high qualitty but the 175$ is slightly higher quality. with my old HDD i managed to use up 130Gb in the first 6 months but i didn't run out of space for another 5 months. i'm only getting a new hdd as my old one died. i am just a kid with no formal income. also being a kid it is the holidays fo another few weeks (its summer down here) so the hdd will be used a lot so i don't want that will die from ovr use and it needs to be vista compatiable ( i think they all are)

Sometimes, my computer won't boot up. It ALWAYS turns on but sometimes nothing comes on the screen, its just black, even though its on. I ran full tests of PC Pitstop and it says that both my processor and memory are performing very poorly and indeed my computer does perform slow. Also, there is a message that the timings are too tight when the computer does boot up and gives me the option to enter the bios or continue but if I loosen the timings, the computer never boots. The computer has never been overclocked or anything and does not have any viruses or any malicious programs. The computer is only about 1 years old.The computer used to work fine but I think some hardware might be failing, any ideas?

Ok my computer recently crashed and I lost all of my saved settings and files and everything that was on my computer so I am now trying to get everything up and running. Before my computer crashed I had a cable modem (Toshiba RNDIS Adapter PCX2600) I am trying to install it and I need the Found New Hardware wizard to pop up because in the instructions that I downloaded along with the driver for it I need that wizard to pop up in order for me to install it corectly. The instructions say to go to the device manager and uninstall the adapter then to go to "action" at the top of the screen and scan for hardware changes and then the Found New Hardware Wizard is supposed to pop up this way I can manually put in where the driver for this device is located. Please Help- I also can't figure out what is wrong with my sound. I have no sound coming out of my speakers. I tried to download the driver for it but I keep getting some error message that the file is corrupt. Please Help!!!!! Thanks
