  1. Well I need to do it because I have problems with both of my connections. See when I am trying to play games and stuff my wifi card cant do it. I have a packet loss problem which is the cards fault completely. ( Iv treid everything for it). So I went and baught a linksys router. Now the linksys router has some strange problems where I cant resolve DNS anymore. Kinda weird and very annoying. It ususally starts happening when I use bittorrent. So I have a eithernet connection to the router and a wifi connection to my modem. I might mention that my modem has a wifi router built in. So what I would like to do is surf the web with my wifi connection and do bittorrent and gaming with my eithernet connection.

  2. Iv been using studio 10 to try burn some family videos into DVDs but the damn program freezes up when it reaches the end of burning the disk. Iv looked at some reviews and they have all said the program was very unstable and I have to agree with them. But now im stuck. That was the program that came with my video capture card and I dont want to go out and pay another 100 bucks for somemore softare. Do you guys know of any free dvd authoring software? It can be really basic. All I need to do is maybe insert a title and cut some parts. I would be using windows movie maker but it cant burn to DVD.

  3. Well I want it to go directly through my lan using remote desktop. It says it cannot even see the a terminal server even though I set up my PC to accept remote desktop. If I can get remote desktop to work it would be great. I will see what I can do with the ports though I dont see how messing with my router will help considering im inside the network.

    Also I think I need to add the user in here...

    So I go in and press Add to add a user and I get this box

    As you can see I can add the user name right? So Now I have a question . Do I add the laptop name or the user name of the account on the laptop. Also I need it to look for the user on the netowork not on my PC (therig is my PC) but there are no ther options.

    Is this even necessary to make it work?

  4. Ok guys I just rememberd I could use remote desktop to view whats on another computer (see my other post if you dont understand). I need to use remote desktop. Only there is a problem. My PC is running XP pro and I have it set up so it accepts incoming remote desktop connections but my other computers do not see a computer hosting a terminal server. They do see eachother and they are on the same workgroup but no terminal server. So I just rememberd something which I did last year... Somthing quite stupid actually. I went around my computer disabling and uninstalling outlook and windows messenger and all sorts of crap. Im pretty sure I did some stuff manuallly like acutally going to the folder and deleting stuff. (Ok I know REALLY stupid...I know that now but I didnt then). So um other then an entire reformat how do I get windows messenger and stuff back. Iv been messing around and I think that may be the reason its not working. Also remote asistance is not working. If I send out a remote asistance through windows messenger to my laptop and I accept itit gets stuck at "attempting to connect to MYMSNACCOUNT". So how can I reinstall windows messenger.

    BTW I was using Windows LIVE messenger to send the querey and stuff cause it seems that doesnt use the origianal program at all.

  5. Ok so here is my setup. I have a PC upstairs connected to my network and a laptop in my basement connected to my projector. Its connected with wi-fi on the same network as my PC. My question is how can I send video output from my PC to the laptop downstairs. Is there a program to just take what I see on my screen and send it downstairs to the laptop so I can display it on my projector. OR do I need some sort of hardware?

    BTW I dont mean like streaming video through VLC. I mean like if I am displaying a webpage on the PC I want it displayed on the laptop downstairs. Or if I am doing a power point upstairs I want it to show it downstairs.

  6. It could just be faultly. My old 500 watt PSU powerd powered parts of my system but couldnt do the entire thing but my new 500 Watt PSU does it just fine. A rail might be damaged or failing. PSU's are weird things sometimes...See if you can borrow sombody's or maybe buy one and then return it if you are still having problems.

  7. You need to reset cmos. There is a jumper on your motherboard near the battery. its on pin 1 and 2. move it to pin 2 and 3 and turn on the computer. Then put the jumper back to its original posistion and reboot.

    (Knowing you I think you might have known that already.)

  8. My parents have alot of old tapes of me as a baby which they want me to burn to dvds. I have a camcorder which can play these tapes but Im kind of at a loss on how to connect a camcorder to my PC. Im guessing I will need to buy a converter of sorts that can take AV cables and spit out the video through a USB cable. I dont have a video capture card in my PC. The tapes are the old sony HI8 ones. So um what do I need to buy. Im going to just use Windows movie maker as my movie edit software because all I will need to do is add a tltle here and there and then put the movies onto DVDs.
