Well, it didn't work. I got the can't find HDD error. This is the driver I used: Driver I selected Regular PNP driver on the screen I talked about. I used nLite to directly burn the DVD. Any suggestions, darkop EDIT: I tried doing the textmode driver option and selecting them all. The new...

Hey guys, I am trying to downgrade my HP laptop to XP (model number dv6936us...chipset 965 express). I have located all the drivers I will need to install to get all the components working with XP (wireless adapter, Nvidia driver, etc). I know that once I try to install XP with the original...

Well Im glad I looked cause there is a really good deal on a 4870: Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 100259L Radeon HD 4870 512MB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards And it comes with a HDMI adapter, but please explain how it works...

Yeah but thats a 3450. I wanted to get him something with a little more power like the GTX 260 or at least a GTX 9800. Honestly, now that I am looking for this stuff to build a media/gaming rig, it seems like it is either or but not both. What I mean is that you can't have both. All the gaming...

Hmmmm...Ok. Ive never built a media center either so I am new to this, too. I originally told my uncle I would build him a sweet computer but then he asked it to be HDMI compatible and I was like uh-oh :P. But anyways, if I could convince him that it will need more than one cable, I mean it...

I looked at all the graphics card but none of them had a HDMI port and how would the DVI to HDMI converter work...I thought DVI was only display output...not display and audio like HDMI. thanks, darkop EDIT: OK Ill be honest with you guys now. I am building this for my Uncle and he is bound...

hey guys, Im trying to build a media and gaming computer. Im trying to build a gaming computer that I can plug into a LCD TV via HDMI so I can play downloaded movies and blue-ray movies on. The only thing is I only want to plug in the HDMI so it needs to have audio on it. So I can't just use...

I think I should get a newer model since I have to experience the inconvenience of using one of my old 17" LCD's for the next week or so. On top of that, I'm out on Christmas break until Jan 5. Once I'm back in school, I can forget about playing any computer game for the next four months...

Hey, Just a little while ago, I was surfing the internet and my monitor just switched to a completely blank white screen. I rebooted my computer, but now the monitor will display nothing but a blank white screen. I can't see the boot up screen, windows loading screen, or even the actual monitor...

Hey, I got my new laptop a couple weeks ago with vista home premium 64-bit. I followed some performance guides and disabled things here and there and uninstalled a bunch of HP's unnecessary software they load onto the system. My computer is nice and clean now and runs smoothly, except that my...

Thanks, I actually forgot there was a USB hookup to the back until you pointed it out. I just wanted to be able to print with my laptop instead of having to turn on my computer every time. I had an extra USB hook up so I just used that to hook up my printer to my laptop = problem solved. :)...

Hey, I have an old HP printer: HP 932C I don't want to pay alot of money for a new printer, so I was going to see if I could somehow make this old printer wireless. I think Im supposed to use one of these: Printer Networking Basically I just want someone to better explain how or if this...
