  1. Well, if you know anybody else that has an AT&T Modem, borrow it. If the modem is bad and she bought it, then she will have to buy another one anyways or stay with the slowness. Can you post a MBAM and a HJT log and let somebody look at it please. Do the logs in the Malware section.

  2. Found that my 4 or 5 year old Lexmark AIW will run on 7. Had to dig a little, but found it after just a couple of minutes.

    Well it showed in on MS, but it won't work. Puts it in the spooler but won't print. They have now taken it off their list.

    It is a Lexmark X75 AIW and the disc that came with is marked X74/X75.

    Oh well, I guess it is time for a new one. I can still use it on my XP.

  3. Now that some of you have your copies of Windows 7 and some of us are still waiting ... Do you want to personalize your Windows 7 themes? Check here for a variety of some great stuff .. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/downloads/personalize or maybe you wish to have some backgrounds on your desktop .. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/downloads/personalize?T1=backgrounds

    Enjoy.

    I just tried some of them on XP and what I tried worked for the backgrounds. They are really nothing special that you can't go to Google/Images and find some nice stuff that way also.

  4. Marty must be under the weather again. Haven't heard from him in about 3 or 4 days and e-mails are being returned. Hasn't posted on here since the 12th of Sept. I usually get at least 5 or 6 e-mails from him everyday.

    Saying a little prayer for the fellow. GET WELL SOON MARTY. We miss you. :thumbsup:

  5. Just one question... Can you not remove the HDD and transfer it? Or just install it in your PC? (some software out there should be able to convert it, I think)

    The real video geeks out there should guide you....

    Speaking as a retired Dish Network dealer, my dealer hot line was as smooth as any business could possible be.

    Continues as a resident user, never on hold, English speaking reps that I have the highest respect for.

    Zero doubt.

    We converted many Direct Tv customers that never went back.

    My experience.

    The HD transfer is next to impossible as Dish planned, only makes sense to mass produce movies, industry wouldn't like that.

    Dish does offer for a one time charge of $39 ? to use the USB port for an an external HD for additional storage.

    BUT requires the receiver to play back the external HD.

    Btw only Dish has the download ability to change the receiver software for upgrades.

    Remember back when TVIO tried a copyright infringement, so Dish just changed the PVR functions to their advantage and blow TIVO off haha

    I have had Dish since they first came out. I upgraded at Christmas to HD with 1 regular HD receiver and 1 DVR receiver. Every time that I try to do a PPV or DOD, I have to call them. They sent a new DVR and that didn't cure the problem. They ALL do not speak good ENGLISH. Only if you get pushed to somebody higher up do you get an AMERICAN the speaks good ENGLISH. I am speaking from experience and not hear say.

  6. Not everybody feels that way towards him. Just expressing our opinion.

    Your opinion is a valid one. However, I don't think it is appropriate to politicize a tribute thread in Open Chat by bringing up Senator Kennedy's past misdeeds. We prefer that politics is discussed in the appropriate forum.

    This thread has become a bit partisan and political which is fine. I'm moving this thread to the World and Politics forum.

    Should of been there to start with.

  7. No I did that to correct a spelling error (I'm anal like that). I said it was onboard from the beginning. Besides, look at when I posted. I made the last post before the edit.

    I know what I read when I did my post. Why would I have posted what I did? Certainly not because I am good looking.

    Realtek has both. Why would you even have mentioned this?

    I am not going to worry about this as it doesn't do the original poster any good. I guess next time, QUOTE is in order.

  8. Welcome to the boards. These boards are not maned. People log on and off all day and night. We try to help as soon as we can. Please be patient...

    On board sound or a slot sound card. If a slot card, Shut PC off, remove card completely, turn pc back on. Shut PC off replace card, turn pc back on.

    Look in the device manager and see if it shows and YELLOW ! or ? by ANYTHING especially something with the sound card.

  9. I have had Dish since the first went into business. Have had no problems with them. Brother has has had both and prefers Dish over Direct. Direct does have the NFL package that Dish doesn't offer if that is a concern. Friend went from Cable to Dish, Had a problem. Took them a couple of days to get it fixed and they gave him a couple of FREE movies for his inconvenience. When his year was up, he went to Direct and had nothing but problems. He said that the only thing that they gave him for FREE was lip service. He was gone from them in less than a month. Went back to Dish and hasn't looked back. Probably good and bad about both. I just upgraded about last Christmas to HD. Haven't had any problems with it. I even take one of my receivers and have an extra old dish, camping with me. Works just great. Don't have to pay the extra 5 bucks a month for an extra receiver that only gets used 5 or 6 times a year. Dish is a lillt cheaper then Direct.
