I have a TV tuner that plugs into my laptop, it has an adapter that can connect to it with the red, white, yellow and also a black plugs, but are all only 1 cm long in wire length, can I hook this up so the picture displays on a TV?
If so what will I need..?
It also has cord that plugs into the USB Remote receiver with a little red transmitting marboby on the end if that helps...
As you can tell I have no idea what I'm talking about so It's hard to converse....

According to my Windows Update history, the drivers for my Dell Inkjet 720 have been installed (though dated 2006). But I couldn't find any Windows 7 drivers on the website.

Does this sound like a driver issue? If so, would the Vista drivers work?

Lets say I bought a 4-Port USB Hub and plugged it into 1 of my USB's on my MacBook. On the computer would it appear as 1 USB or 4 seperate one's?

Previously, on my Windows XP install, I could use these buttons to control iTunes no matter what program had focus.

But after installing Windows 7, I've noticed that the buttons only work when iTunes has the focus. I installed the software from MS's website and didn't see any additional software or drivers to try. Anyone know how this could be fixed? This was one of the features I loved about the keyboard!

So I decided to buy a new router today since I wanted to get an N one as my old Linksys-G was getting ready to die after many years.

I got a D-Link DIR-825.

Everything was super easy to setup, its a great unit. Also, a sweet extra on this router is the ability to plug in a usb hard drive, printer, or other device and share amongst all of us here!! awesomeness

however, I'm just wondering about the enhanced speeds I am getting.

Wired was 100.0 Mbps ---> Now it's 1.0Gbps (Which is SIKK in my opinion)

and Wireless was 54.0 Mbps ---> Now it's 130.0 Mbps (Which is a nice boost but I saw people getting more, like 300.0Mbps and even as high as 600.0 Mbps.

Are my upgraded speeds normal? Should wifi be able to go higher?

Any insight is appreciated..not that I'm unhappy, in fact, I'm quite impressed and so far satisfied but obviously if I can go higher--I'd like to. ]]> Computer Accessories Laquer Head http://www.computerforum.com/163791-bought-new-router-questions-speed.html http://www.computerforum.com/163772-what-happened-zboard.html Fri, 13 Nov 2009 16:42:22 GMT I'm really confused their websites has been down for a long time now.

This one guy said one had to be the master and the other a slave,but I don't know how to do that.

I seen these connectors in there,2 white ones on the spare HD and 1 green one on the CD Drive.
How do I arrange them to where it'll work? Or is that the problem? ]]> Computer Accessories stewartlittle http://www.computerforum.com/163756-cd-dvd-not-working.html http://www.computerforum.com/163503-what-mouse-mouse-pad-get.html Mon, 09 Nov 2009 20:36:55 GMT I've been using a Microsoft Intellimouse 1.1 since the days when a Geforce 2 MX was shit hot and Half-Life 1 was graphically astounding. It's time to move on haha, has treated me well though, still clicks and scrolls like it did from day one.

I'm also looking for a new surface/mouse pad. My more recent Everglide Titan mini-mat has worn down a fair bit and I want to go a bit larger :)

I'm looking for a mouse with at least 4 buttons (including left and right click), must be wired, either symmetrical or suitable for left-handed people, nothing too whacky in shape and if possible a button to immediately change DPI up and down.

I use quite a low sensitivity now, so maybe a lower DPI is suitable? I don't really know or understand DPI though.

If your familiar with source games, I tend to use 3.0 sensitivity for games requiring precision (counter-strike, half-life 2) and usually 5.0 for faster paced games (left 4 dead, team fortress 2)

For the mouse surface, I really don't know. Something reasonably big but not massive, nothing too thick and I don't really have a preference over material, cloth has treated me pretty well though.

I'm British so if you want to link me please use UK sites, I have a budget of around £60-70.

Can anybody offer any advice, these are the items I have seen so far:

http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mi...s/164&cl=gb,en
- £75

http://www.antec.com/Believe_it/product.php?id=MTE5Nw==
- £60

I prefer the look of the second one as it has a standard looking remote control but would also like a wireless ketboard and mouse that can run from a distance of 5 metres.

Thanks in advance..... ]]> Computer Accessories shudder http://www.computerforum.com/163407-htpc-remote-help.html
