Macs are great, but really since XP, windows has been almost totally problem free for me.

Re: Computer Help?

Turned out to be a problem with windows media player. Anytime i would click on a folder with a video file inside - this message would pop up.

reverted to the prior version of wpa, and everything is fine now.

thanks.

Computer Help?

I keep getting this error message popping up. Nothing will work, until I x it off, and I have to do it twice, before anything will work. Everything is ok for a bit, and it starts all over again. I've run a virus and malware scan, nothing shows there. Any ideas? http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q10...

Re: TV Advice

BB, Unless you have a butt load of components (like all 3 video game consoles, cable/sat box, dvd/bluray etc...most of the newer HD sets will have all the inputs you need. I wouldn't settle for less than 3 HDMI inputs though. My Sony 40" Bravia only has 2 :(. Thanks. I can't imagine that I would ne...

Btw - there was an article in the BND, that stated that prices on flat screens are expected to drop significantly after Thanksgiving.

Re: TV Advice

Those 4 to 1 connecting boxes are usually pretty good, my dad just got one for his widescreen LCD and it works fine. Don't know what brand or anything though- I would just go to Best Buy or something and ask someone. Be careful though, some of the people that work there are retarded. LOL... I've do...

Re: TV Advice

Well what did you decide to get?? Haven't. The more I've looked, the more I've talked to people - the more confused I've gotten. :) I'm just trying to take my time and not make a mistake. I'm in no rush. I have a 32" Sharp CRT that has as good a picture as anything they are selling, so it's not lik...

Re: TV Advice

One of the issues you really need to look at with LCD and Plasma is refresh rates with fast motion scenes (hockey and action movies) ++ This is why it is important to make sure the LCD you are looking at is 120Hz. When we were talking to the salesman, we asked if 120Hz was that important and he sai...

Re: TV Advice

I failed to mention that I had already decided on the LCD over Plasma, for a variety of reasons. Right now, I'm looking at a Sharp, a Sony, a Sanyo, and a Phillips. Anybody have any opinions of Vizio? I was told that they are made in California, but, haven't heard if that is a good think quality wi...

Not a problem, he's allowing me to keep enough money to pay for the tv, in return for registering 200 dead people to vote.

TV Advice

I'm going to be doing my bit in helping the economy by buying a new widescreen tv pretty soon. Anybody have any suggestions as to what I should look for, or what I should avoid? I'm thinking about a 46", with a price cap of $1,200. Also, in an effort to get away from running a lot of cables up to th...

I got directv last month, but didn't spring for the HD box or the monthly HD access.. I may do that next year (my package is 35 though plus center ice at 39/month for 4 months). I don't think not getting HD on local channels is a big deal if that is true. Least on my tv i just grab the TV remote an...

Agreed. To smear all cops because of one jerk, is silly.
