What I used to have are available just about anywhere - I got mine at Walmart. Something like this: Now I want something that is almost identical, but instead of transmitting to an FM frequency, it just has a 3.5mm audio out... but I can't seem to find anything like it... :confused: please...

Hey CF! So I used to have this cool little dongle that would plug into my truck cigarette lighter. It would take a flash drive or a 3.5mm audio input and broadcast it to a FM frequency so I could listen to it on my radio. This was all good and great, but the playback quality was kind of...

I use them primarily to cleanup broken entries left behind by programs that have since been uninstalled and processes that only are run once (IE updates). Limited value? I disagree - I have seen first-hand how much a corrupt registry can slow down a computer, especially in the startup process...

Well, you've got a point there. However, it's been my experience that many users are just not comfortable with anything except for IE (even though I can hardly tell the difference between IE and Firefox as far as layout - Opera and Chrome are a little different)... and even if it takes a few...

Thanks for the input guys. kobaj: In my experience, Auslogics Registry Cleaner detects a ton of stuff CCleaner ignores. It's fast and it's free. I don't see why I would leave it out? I didn't want to get into disabling Microsoft Services, as this was made to be a generalized guide, and you...

Hey CF, If you've been repairing computers for as long as some of us have, you have probably come up with your own methodology for what you do when a user complains of a "slow computer". Any regulars to this site know that several times a day a noobie will post up, begging to know why his PC...

Rubbish. Disable the onboard video. Hook the VGA (or whatever) up to your graphics card and reboot. If you still don't get video, you can reset CMOS by either moving the reset CMOS jumper over for five seconds and moving it back, or disconnecting the power and removing the CMOS battery from the...

I've never played Steam games, so I don't know for certain. But I know I have to re-route my ports on my router to my desktop web server every time the power goes down. So I did a quick Google search for Steam port forwarding, and got over 300K returns, so maybe there's something to it... If...

Isn't there some sort of port forwarding you have to do via your router to play Steam games? Maybe when the power was cut, and everything came back on, your computer was assigned a different IP by the router, and therefore, you need to change your port forwarding settings??? Maybe... Otherwise...

Hrmmm... Yeah, I don't know about that. I don't see the point - and that's probably why there isn't any software out there to do it. I guess you could use VNC, enable audio and then minimize the window. That might work. But anyway, the cheapest and easiest solution would be to just buy a cheap...

You could use something like this to convert them to avi: http://download.cnet.com/RM-to-AVI-VCD-SVCD-DVD-MPEG-Converter/3000-2194_4-10384997.html and then use this to clip the avi files: http://download.cnet.com/SolveigMM-AVI-Trimmer-MKV/3000-13631_4-10617085.html Let me know if that works...

Why can't you just play the music from computer A on computer B via the network? I do that all the time at my house. If you have set up a simple Windows network, then you should be able to access the files on computer A from computer B, and vice-versa. You're worried about using too much...

Unplug the iPod from the PC. Go to Start-->Control Panel-->Add and Remove Programs and uninstall everything Apple. Then go to Start-->Control Panel-->System-->Device manager and look under Universal Serial Bus Controllers for Apple Mobile Device, right click it and uninstall it (if it's...

You can right click on the Start menu and go to Properties-->Advanced and change the appearance of your Start Menu there. Then you can go to Start-->Run and type "msconfig" <enter> Take a look at the Startup and Services tab and look for iPod related items and be sure that they're checked...

That is the latest version. Can you link me to the game? Also, have you tried it in other browsers? Or reinstalling IE8?

Interesting. What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Having the same song playing in different rooms or - ? :confused: I mean, you can open up a music file on a network share from any computer with access to that share. But since you're asking for some sort of "virtual sound card" I assume...

Thanks! :rolleyes: (Boy, the smugness just doesn't stop with this guy does it?) I wouldn't say "massively." Anyway, I install parts as I get them. Currently, next on the "to buy" list is a new HDD - I've got Win7 64 Ultimate running on an old Seagate Barracuda 7200 IDE drive. So that's the worst...

Trojan100, As stated above, you can only run one OS at a time, so no worries about eating your processing power. I've ran a few multi-boot systems in the past, and it's a great way to learn a new OS while keeping your familiar, dependable OS in tact for general use. However, I've found that...

I don't think so. I think you're missing a step or something isn't setup right. But, if you know the IPs of the computers, then you can ping one from the other and see if they can even communicate that way, just to be sure. Do you have file and print sharing turned on both computers? Vista...

Or even disable the other adapters (for now)
