You're not looking hard enough.

You're grossly misinformed.

I don't believe this is a major issue for most people. I don't think I've ever launched the 64-bit version of IE on my 64-bit machines (the default is the 32-bit version), and AFAIK, every other browser is 32-bit, so I don't think many people are running into this. Why do you need to run a...

I'm an MSDN subscriber so I was able to upgrade from Windows 7 Ultimate RC x64 to Windows 7 Ultimate GM x64 pretty easily. I just edited that one ini file and everything went fine. The only problem was that my VMWare network adapters were deleted, and the VMWare networking services were...

That's not normal behavior. I have McAfee Antivirus Plus, which includes the security center, and it is very unobtrusive on Windows 7. That free version you got might be an older version. On an older laptop, with XP and an older version of McAfee, it's slightly more intrusive (I can see the...

Does your Westell 327w tell you the status of the DSL connection, or better yet, log it? I can tell whether my networking problems are between the CO and my DSL modem, or between my DSL modem and my own equipment by simply watching the LEDs on the modem, and checking its logs. If I lose my...

I was bashing Bose in my post - I guess I just didn't do a very good job of it.

Since he said he doesn't care about sound quality, that would definitely include that company that spends 10x more on marketing than R&D, and whose products are endorsed on TV by luminaries in the audio world such as newspaper columnists.

CS4 was the first version of Photoshop to utilize OpenGL GPU acceleration. If you're running a version older than that, it's not going to utilize any of the 3D acceleration on your video card.

I would have thought someone with such a big stick up their butt would have a more enlightened attitude towards porn.

Get a couple cheap PCI video cards with composite video out, and run your computer with three displays.

In other words, there was a malware site disguised as a porn download site, and the OP downloaded the codec he thought was necessary to view the porn :D.

That's not digital.

Hitting the crack pipe harder today than ususal? Every laptop I've ever used in my life would work just fine with the A/C adapter plugged in and the battery removed. I'm typing this message in on my Lenovo T61 with no battery installed.

HP, Dell, Gateway - none of them make laptops. Some ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) in Taiwan designs and manufactures them, like Compal or Quanta. For the most part HP, Dell, and Gateway just spec the laptops. I believe Apple actually designs their laptops, and then hands the design over...

There might be some useful information in the event log. Read errors on your hard drive show up there. If I suspected hardware was at fault, I'd be running DOS-based utilities to check the hard drive (like Seatools) and memory (Memtest86).

I hate to agree with Smith, P., but that has been my experience as well. I've only seen problems when the drive was hammered on for hours, and was in an enclosure that didn't provide adequate cooling. The drive itself was ok, but the USB-SATA bridge was unreliable at high temperatures.

How is your monitor connected to your PC? If you have an analog connection, that might be your monitor's normal behavior when the source changes the horizontal scan rate (as a result of changing output resolution), and the monitor attempts to resync. Try switching to a digital connection if...

If possible, use the Event Viewer to see if you were getting hardware errors reading the disk. Otherwise, there are vendor-supplied standalone DOS utilities that you can use to diagnose the disk, such as SeaTools for Seagate drives. Other vendors should have similar diagnostic tools available...

Be clear, do you simply have a corrupted file system, or are the sectors on the disk unreadable, or do you have both problems? For the former, you can use a data recovery package; I've had good experience with R-Studio. If the drive is unreadable, try the freezer trick, that has worked for me...

Do you understand my application? My homes are 500 miles apart, and I need to create a secure tunnel using the public Internet with industrial-strength encryption.

Sometime in the next couple months I'll be setting up a wireless router with DD-WRT so I can create a site-to-site VPN. I need this so I can securely access my home network from my vacation home, and also have a separate network in my vacation home that appears to be part of my home network...

You mean ATI Catalyst Control Center. How anyone could confuse Adobe and ATI is beyond me.

What printer do you have? Just because there are no drivers to download doesn't mean the printer isn't usable in WIndows 7. For example, HP hasn't released a driver package for the OfficeJet 6500, but Windows 7 comes with a basic printer driver for it that allows me to print. If I want to...

If you did, you would not have written: "unless your[sic] running a application that is written for 64bit or 128bit you really don't gain any advantage"
