Hi everyone, Just a word of warning, I installed the windows 7 RC1 on a partition and it deactivated my Vista installation. So you might want to think twice if you are just going to install it to mess about.

I don't know if anyone in this forum is any good at illustrator. I'm learning my way around it after being pretty good at photoshop. Basically, you can make a normal rectangle and then add a layer effect of round edges. This makes the edges round, but can you make it so that this layer effect...

I have an nVidia 8500 graphics card and it has both a VGA output and a DVI one. I bought a DVI adapter on ebay so I could plug in a VGA monitor and when I tried to set it all up no output comes onto the screen. After a while it recognised there was a screen there, think it even came up with...

I've googled everywhere and I cannot find a solution. Loads of people seem to have this problem, but none of them post a solution that works for me. Basically, these are two brand new SATA drives and they work fine. I installed Vista from one them a couple of days ago and then installed some...

Hey everyone, I got all the parts for a new computer today and I assembled it and everything was going ok. I did have a bit of problems installing the CPU fan, but I think it's in place now. My cpu fan though is going absolutely mental. It was working fine, worked for hours, managed to install...

Hi everyone, I was going to wait until january to buy all this stuff, but I thought screw it, I want it over christmas really, and for a max saving of maybe £20 it's not worth it, so i'm going to buy it maybe this weekend. So if you could check over these parts and see if they'll all fit...

Hello Everyone! Soon i will be building a computer, and I haven't been keeping up with everything that's been going on in the hardware market so I need a bit of advice. I will probably be building this in a few months, maybe grab some bargains in the January sales. But I need to start...

I noticed that both the Intel Quad Core Q6600 2.4GHz S775 and the Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 3.16GHz 6MB Cache S775 1333MHZ are the same price. So which one will give the best performance? I don't play hardly any games, so they are definitely not my priority. I do a lot of encoding and...

Heya, I am usually pretty good with programming, usually work stuff out for myself, but for my A2 computing coursework I will be using VB.net and i've only used it for very simple stuff before. I can do everything I need, except for one thing. What I want is a TabControl, where I can...

Hi, I have never had satellite, so I have no idea how tricky it is to setup. However, I have read that it will be £80 to have it installed, which is ridiculous I think. So I was wondering, if installing the equipment is just a case of, screwing it to the wall of the house, look at where...

heya, I have a SE k750i and I received a blyk simcard. I am currently locked to O2 PAYG and I need to unlock the phone so I can run the blyk simcard. Atm it says 'please insert correct SIM' when i put the sim in the back. I would like to unlock it myself if it's easy rather than pay a...

If you don't script for Flash then you can probably ignore this. However, I am used to programming Flash Actionscript 1 and 2, and I thought it was about time I learned AS3. I noticed there was not much help out there for those starting out to learn, so I was really lucky when I found this...

Recently, after making no changes, the BBC has lost lots of signal. Sometimes it works fine (though that's becoming very rare), then it will go all jumpy and not work (even on a clear day) and then sometimes there is no signal at all. All other channels work fine, it's only BBC channels that...

I am thinking of building a computer in a few months time, and I want to plan ahead a bit now and start thinking of components. I want to try to make it as quiet as possible, so I was also thinking of water cooling, does anyone know about water cooling, because I don't know much about it...

Heya, I am just asking, since I have been writing PHP for about two years now, and I recently was introduced at college to Visual Basic. How do I get into more harder scripting languages. Which language would I need to learn to do stuff like write drivers for hardware and write extensions...

Does anyone know of a card where I can set it up like this: It needs to have two separate stereo output channels and two inputs. One input needs to be mono (mic) and the other line in (stereo). The card must be able to record on the line in whilst the microphone is playing out loud into...

I was looking at the price of RAM on ebay, and I can get a stick of 1GB for my computer for under £10 on a really crap brand that i've never heard of. Should I be warey of 'Extra Value' RAM, what's different to it from kingston or crucial or something?

My kaspersky is still playing up and I cannot fix it, it's starting to get annoying since it is knocking off around 3Mb of internet speed. So I want to move on if there is anything to move onto. I can't get kaspersky 7 which i hear fixes this since I cannot *afford* a key, does anyone...

I have noticed that everyone in this forum is always recommending different operating systems, and I thought it might be a good idea to bring all the arguments together into one topic. So vote in the poll and then reply with your reason why. I vote Vista, because although I run XP, if my PC...

Not that I need to know, I am just wondering since it seems to have been as a draft for years now? What's holding it back?
