Video on 2 screens

I use an NVIDIA GForce FX5200, with s-video out to play videos on my TV. I was wondering if there was anyway to have the video display on both my monitor and the TV. Right now when I set it to clone, I have to choose one or the other as the primary monitor, and that's the only one that shows...

Trackpoint or Touchpad?

Newer Toshibas don't seem to have it. Touchpads aren't the end of the world, but I've had both and I prefer the trackpoint.

Trackpoint or Touchpad?

I am looking into buying a new laptop and I would prefer one with a trackpoint instead of the touchpad. Does anyone know if any brands other than IBM have laptops with trackpoints?

VNC Question...

Using really long cables, I hooked my desktop up to the TV in a different room. I have been using Real VNC to control my desktop with my laptop. My problem is that when videos start playing it bogs down my laptop because that's a lot of information to go over network. Is there any option in...

Visual Basic - Check if a process is running

Is there any way from Visual Basic to check if a process is running? I need to see if wscript.exe is running, because wscript.exe runs a script that runs my main program at a random time.

Switch for front led

My case has a color changing led in the front and at night is very bright. It connects to a standard 4 pin power molex. Is there any switch out there or any switch I can easily mod so that I can turn this on and off whenever I please and not disconnect it from the power.

Why wont my new comp work?

I helped a friend build a computer a while back with the exact same video card and the exact same problem. The computer turned on fine the first couple times we tried it, and then wouldn't turn on again. Once we plugged the video card into the power all was well. Beyond that, try running your...

Spilled water on my laptop, fixable?

I've found the best way to dry out a laptop is to keep the monitor open and then put it on a flat surface with the keyboard facing down. I did this when i spilled water on mine, and have had other people do the same. If it still doesn't work after that, you probably just need a new keyboard...

IBM Thinkpad 390E bios questions

When you're in bios go through the security settings and make sure all the passwords are disabled. If you do need a password try and find out what it is from the person you bought it from. At my school they made all of us get the thinkpad 390E's and we were told that if we set a bios password...

Networked DVD Players

This definitely looks cool in theory, but I do not know anyone who has had an Oritron DVD player last more than 6 months. IMO they are the worst brand for dvd players, and if you buy it you will be wasting your money.

HELP!! Overheating problem

If your temp dropped a few degrees just by opening your case it is highly possible that you don't have enough of an airflow going through you case. Make sure you wires are clean and you really should have at least a front fan AND a back fan. Side and top fans don't hurt anything either.

Is this too hot?

You are running at about 70 degrees celsius. I believe for Athlon XPs under 50 is optimal and at 85 you will fry your processor. Here is an idea fan setup... front fans pull into the case back fans blow out side fan pulls in top fan blows out At the very least you should have front and back...

Win2k auto logon

When you install Win2k, it asks if you would like to enter a password every time you start up or just have it automatically log in. Does anyone know how to change this option without reinstalling win2k?

Win2k Pro Error....

Either your memory is fried or you have a software problem. Last time I was getting those errors, scandisk and defrag clear everything up. Apparently it's bad to have a 100 gig hard drive 94% fragmented.
