What Resolutions Will The Next-Gen Consoles Use?

Next Gens will support HDTV for sure since XBox currently supports it. I'd say most games will support 1080i or 720p, whichever you want to run them at.

Windows freezes when trying to install...

Three options here since you've changed MBs: Boot to safe mode and if it makes it try to reload mb drivers, etc Boot off windows OS disc and select 'repair windows'....that will try a hardware redetect and could get your previous installation to a bootable point where you can install the...

Web Hacker Help

Actually, that analogy is somewhat off since stealing a car is illegal. I'd liken it more to those who put a giant bowl of candy out at halloween with a sign that says '1 piece per child'. Then some kid comes along and takes it all. Not illegal, but still immoral. Nonetheless, i agree on...

Pot head friend broke his PC.

He overclocked his monitor. Wheeeeeeeee. LOL. Anyways, if this is serious: The refresh rate should be ok for the monitor when the pc is posting. The one he set shouldn't kick in until windows initializes. If you can't even see the PC post, the monitor may be dead. Will the monitor...

laptop problem

You'll need to boot off your OS installation cd and select to repair windows. Your system is blue screening and resetting itself before you can read it. The OS repair should replace the file you're missing.

SVCHOST.EXE hogs my CPU

Svchost is the process that manages execution of your enabled services in windows. Multiple svchost's are ok to run and can show processor usage for any of the services running under them......ie, tough to pinpoint the actual culprits.

First Build Booting Problems

You still may be able to use the existing install. When you get to the xp setup, skip the prompt for the 'recovery console' and keep going. Eventually, it will detect your previous install and ask if you would like to repair it. Select this and it will go thru and reinstall drivers, detect...

php newbie needs advice

Instead of learning php while implementing your site, i'd start with an established framework such as phpNuke (www.phpnuke.com) and build on that. Most likely what you will find if you do it yourself is that you'll manage to get some code working. However, as you learn the nuances and finer...

nVidia chipset with ATi issue? Myth?

OK........so by testing the ti4200 we've narrowed it down that it's not the specific video card. You said you ran memtest86 and it passed, so i'm inclined to believe the memory is OK, but you can put the pc2700 ram in the box. There are either bios settings to force the memory to run at...

internet explorer shuts down randomly but always at WWW.hgtv.com

I'd also run 'hijack this' and 'cwshredder' as well. I went to the site and didn't see anything obviously 'dynamic' (flash, applet, etc) that would make it different than any other page. I did see a 'javascript error' message being suppressed (i have them set to be suppressed), but I see...

Speakers became distorted all of the sudden.

Have you hooked the speakers into a stereo/walkman/etc to verify if they are working correctly independent of your computer? That will be the first step to isolate the problem.

dvd tray not opening

I second what stevty said. That's a good test. If it is the switch/button, try taking the front bezel off and seeing if you can spot anything obvious wrong with the button/contact (ie, dirt, grime, loose, etc....)
