    Virgin+ optical audio out into creative gigaworks s750

    I Have a set of creative gigaworks s750 7.1 speakers for my htpc which don't have a digital audio input, just the 4 3.5mm jacks I've just got a virgin plus box which I want to connect to the speakers properly, ideally without the PC having to be on all the time but I think the only way i can...

    Image transparencies for internet use

    I've had a good search but can't find how to solve this. I am sorting out a new layout for a site with CSS, positioning the company logo over the banner image. The logo was made in photoshop and exported to PNG, its rounded and has hollow bits and looks great when I checked it on IE7...

    Dodgey 1800xt?

    Hi Guys, I'm having really random problems with my 1800xt. I keep getting the "tartan effect" all over my screen sometimes and then either vpu recover saves it or the pc crashes and restarts. This mainly happens in games (doom 3, ut2004) but also on my desktop sometimes too. It will get...

    Is my dell TFT dead?

    i can see the desktop fine for a second or so, and then it goes blank. the power light stays on green though whereas it would go orange if it was on standby. The actual screen quality is fine for the second that its on, am I right in guessing its something to do with the cathode being...

    Is my dell TFT dead?

    The dell tft I've had for about 2 years now comes on normally for about a second now when I turn it on and then goes blank. It will keep coming on for the same amount of time if i turn it off and on again - just wondered if anyone knew what the cause of this could be and if its fixable? I...

    Name that maxtor hard drive utility...

    I've just got a 250gb sata2 maxtor drive and I remember when I got my other three maxtors I used a maxtor program that let you adjust the drives for speed or quiet running. Now I can't find it anywhere or remember what its called, any ideas? Thanks Dave

    Registry key for muting pc speaker channel?

    I've done that, theres obviously some kind of earthing problem because it made it a lot better but there is still a buzz. The pc speaker channel in windows is the one that plays any pc speaker interrupt sounds etc throught your main speakers rather than the case one. Cheers Dave

    is the iTrip legal?

    All the wireless FM transmitters for ipods etc have sounded crap in my experience. Far better is one that plugs directly into the arial socket at the back of the head unit - perhaps these are also legal because they aren't really broadcasting anything, its just straight down a cable. The...

    Registry key for muting pc speaker channel?

    Just set up my new Asus AN32 SLI deluxe machine and the pc speaker channel in windows is chucking out annoying static in windows. Not a problem originally because I just muted it in the volume control however I got sick of the tacky ASUS sound program and changed to the Nforce ones. On doing...

    Can someone recommend me some bands?

    City of evil is an amazing album! Either listen to it and blank out the singer and his lyrics (because instrumentally its like audible viagra) or just love the whole cheesey package! 2006 is the year of the cheese metal with Dragonforce leading the way and Avenged Sevenfold following closely...

    **Baddass' Guide to Wireless Networking and FAQ**

    Another thing to be added to the interference factors is the fact that frequencys of around 2.4ghz find it hard to travel through water. If you put a glass of water between 2 antenni it will probably break the connection. My friend had a problem where everytime his bath was filled with water...

    Watercooled Case Gallery

    A well deserved bump and my new offering: In the H'aloominum rad box is a mini heater core that leaked which is why the water is white because i put radweld in it (stops leaks, corrosion and lubes pump as it says on the tin). I still need to spray the radbox black and add uv...
