Why? 🙂

Just hit the Windows key and the "R" key at the same time on your keyboard. 🙂

So, what exactly does it say when you try to install that new driver? I mean, have you actually tried just grabbing it through the Manager 🙂

Just run GSpot and it should tell you exactly which codec you're missing. You might as well just grab the latest K-lite codec pack while you're at it. 🙂

Could you give me a bit more detail? What kind of video are we talking about, and where did it come from? 😕

And where do you think that extra GPU power connector should go? I guess it goes straight into your current power supply, assuming it actually has enough juice. 🙄

Maybe try checking here:

Right-click on the desktop> Screen resolution. 🙂

The HDD is your hard disk drive. Once you've unzipped everything onto your local C: drive, just right-click on Setup.exe and follow those steps I mentioned earlier, then go ahead and run that Setup.exe. 🙂

So... I have this PC 🙂

Maybe try downloading the audio driver for Windows XP and then running it through compatibility mode:

I guess you just open the file you downloaded (if it’s a zip or rar, just extract it to your hard drive first) and find the specific driver you need to install (.exe file). Right-click it, go to Properties, then Compatibility, and check the box for "Run this program in compatibility mode for:". From that dropdown menu, you can pick either Windows Vista or Windows XP > Apply > OK, and that should be about it.

What kind of laptop (brand and model) or motherboard are we talking about if it's a desktop?

Samuel Bishop4 said:My new laptop already came with Windows 7 pre-installed, but I didn't get an installation disc with it. How can I burn a recovery CD just in case my OS crashes? I want to be able to boot from a disc if things go wrong since there wasn't a physical disc included...
please help, thanks

rustywalker1 said:So, I tried opening a zipped file today and it just wouldn't work. It keeps throwing an error that looks something like this: Can't find any archives. I guess they just vanished into thin air. Maybe?I set it up on my brother's machine too, and everything seems to be running fine for him. It's just a game issue, I guess. I used WinZip to handle the files. 🤷

Try opening it with WinZip. I guess people are still talking about 7-Zip. It’s fine, I suppose. Just another utility in the mix.. 🙂

So, I found out that the DVR-MS files on my computer will play just fine using Zoom Player, though it isn't exactly free software. 😢

Justin Reed said:The extension is .rar

I mean, I get that, but what I don't get is why the properties show it's taking up 1.85 GB when there isn't a single file inside. It just doesn't make sense to me. I even tried mounting it with something like Daemon Tools, but nothing happens...

It's a total fake. Next time, maybe check the .nfo or .txt files included with the torrent before you hit download.🙂

So, what kind of file extension are we actually looking at here? Is it .zip, .rar, or... something else entirely?🙂

Maybe try unpacking that using 7-Zip.

Drew Harris2 said:Whenever I strip the subtitles from a movie—they’re usually white—I often find they’ve got this faint, semi-transparent gray background attached. If the scene gets too bright, that background blends in and makes the text basically unreadable. Is there a specific subtitle editor I can use to change that background color? Like, maybe to solid black? I’ve messed around with a few different programs, but I haven't actually found an option to do that yet.🤷

You don't really need to mess with the background color. Just change the font color instead. You can pretty much do that in any standard media player—just switch it to yellow or orange and it should be perfectly legible. 🙂

Actually, most of those same players will let you set a custom background color too, if you really want to go that route. 🙂

Well, what you downloaded has to be an image file. You need to burn that image onto a DVD using some burning software—maybe Nero, for instance. You’d basically select "Burn image," find your Windows 7 file, click Open, and then click Burn. That should do it, I guess.🙂
