Anyone still running Windows 7? in Software ·
If that specific LAN driver doesn't install on Windows 7, I guess you'll just have to download it some other way. Hey. If you're looking to get this installed on Windows Vista, here’s how you should probably go about it:

Open that file you downloaded—if it’s sitting in a ZIP or RAR archive, just unzip it directly onto your hard drive first. Once you find the specific driver installer (.exe), right-click it and head into Properties. From there, go to the Compatibility tab and look for the "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" checkbox. Check that box, then pick either Windows Vista or Windows XP from the dropdown menu. Hit Apply, click OK, and that should pretty much do it. 🙂
Which PSU should I buy? in Desktops ·
Benjamin King2 said:😲 Get away from that thing. An ASUS model is about a third cheaper and way better quality.

That Corsair unit was just leftover stock from some old business deals, so I'm just checking. I guess that means I should probably just stick with my current "Corsair CX550". 🙂

Benjamin King2 said:Looking at the specs, this thing seems pretty underwhelming. We're talking 70% efficiency, just one PCIe cable, two SATA connectors, and the combined amperage on the 12V rail looks weak... if it's cheap, it's probably just junk.

What's the deal with this "EVGA 450 W1" power supply? Anyone here actually used one? 🙂

You can find right here regarding that. 🙂

Benjamin King2 said:Nenene 😁 That’s basically just the number of pins in the print head. More pins usually means a denser, higher-quality print. If you're trying to churn out a multi-part form or something similar, a 9-pin setup probably won't cut it. Plus, a 24-pin model generally prints faster than a 9-pin one.

Yeah, you're spot on. I honestly forgot what those machines actually looked like 😁. A long time ago, I had an old unit that was loud enough to drive my wife crazy whenever it was running an HP LaserJet Pro—it was the predecessor to this one. Back then, we all just referred to them as 24-pin models, so I guess that terminology threw me off for a second. 🙂

It probably comes down to how you’re hooking it up to the PC. You might be looking at a 24-pin parallel cable connecting to a 24-pin port on the computer, or perhaps a 9-pin serial connection using a matching 9-pin cable. 🙂
Best wireless USB adapter? Looking for recommendations. in Computer Peripherals ·
Pick one of these two:

One option is an antenna with a cable, so you can just move it around until you find the best signal. Then there's also the choice to buy and set up a higher-gain antenna if you really need to. I guess. 🙂 👍

boldcrane6 said:Yeah, the filenames match, and I tried that thing you suggested—it actually works, the subtitles show up now. Thanks. 🙂
But the second I close the video and try to reopen it, the subtitles are gone again. So, what, am I stuck having to run this whole SubRip workaround every single time I want to watch something? 😁

Maybe just try renaming both the movie and the subtitle file to something super short, like XxXxX.avi and XxXxX.srt. Give that a shot.
🙂
Issues with Gom player in Software ·
Are you absolutely certain the movie title and the subtitle file match up perfectly? There might be some tiny discrepancy—a stray period, a comma, an extra space, or something else subtle that isn't immediately obvious. 🙄

Maybe try using SubRip. Once you've got the movie running in Gom, just hit ALT+E on your keyboard to bring up SubRip. You can click the folder icon to find the subtitle file sitting right there in the same directory as the movie, then just select it and it should play along with the film. 🙂

WinZip in Software ·
It’s pretty straightforward, really. You just jump into the WinZip options and set it to split the files across two DVDs:

Or, I guess you could always just use a little utility like HJSplit if you want to handle the splitting and joining separately. 🙂

Kyle Wilson14 said:Hey there.

I'm planning on setting up a Windows 7 Ultimate 6400 Build on a new PC, and I was wondering if I actually need a Product Key, or if Windows 7 just comes pre-registered and valid right after installation. I guess it's because about 8 months ago, I installed that same version of Windows 7 on my old machine and didn't end up needing a product key at all.

Thanks. 🙂

If you're using legitimate Windows 7, you're going to need the Product Key found on the actual DVD box. As for anything illegal regarding Windows 7 or a Key, we don't deal with that kind of stuff here on this forum. 🙄

Doesn't the text in that link say:

There isn't really much point in over-explaining things; you just use what makes sense for the hardware you're actually running.

I only dropped that link as an example to show you the three-year warranty period, but as for your hard drive, I don't have any news on that yet.🙂

You're right, I think I got mixed up myself. How old is that Seagate drive anyway? For a drive like this, you usually get a 3-year warranty. If it's less than three years old, maybe just try returning it to wherever you bought it. 😢

How old is that Samsung F3 Spinpoint hard drive, and where did you pick it up? 🙄

Maybe give Handbrake a shot. 🙂
