    Internet Explorer 7; NET Framework 3

    I am still using IE 6 because as they say if it ain't broke don't fix it. But I believe I need to update for at least security reasons. IE 7 at one time gave many people issues but I assume the bugs are straightened out, correct? Also, .NET Framework 3.0 along with the 3.0 Family Pack is...

    A Quick Question on RAM and 32-bit OS

    I know XP can only utilize 3 gigs of RAM. If your system can run dual channel in a 2x1 gig configuration and you add a third 1 gig stick does your system lose the dual channel aspect? What is gained or lost with 3 gigs? Thanks.

    Bard Skill Choices

    I didn't want to hijack RockLAX's thread so I started my own. My son wants to play a 3.5 Bard. Neither he nor I have played one before and the DM has never had a player roll one up before. The new campaign we are about to begin will be starting us off at 3rd level. He has 50 Skill Points to...

    A Quick Question on LCD TVs

    My wife suggested that we might consider getting an LCD HDTV for Christmas. Right now we have analog signal TVs which means that we will have to get converter boxes from our cable provider. Since LCD HDTVs are digital and not analog (right?) and I have cable, will I need a converter box? Sorry...

    Fallout 3 Has Gone Gold; System Specs

    I know there is plenty of angst over Bethesda taking up the franchise but I have got to say from what I've seen trailer wise it looks very interesting and the fact that it will provide hours upon hours gameplay is a plus for me. AND there is no DRM! System Specs as listed at Gamespy as of Today...

    Desktop Screen Help: Background Shows Multiples of the Same

    I recently built a second family computer from some solid left over hardware from a socket 939 system. I also utilized a Samsung 17" CRT that is 6+ years old and still chugging along. The system is rock solid. The only issue is that when we go to use backgrounds (the kind you can download...

    Configuring CD-ROM Drive from Slave to Single Configuration

    I have an old P3 system that I let my son use for internet browsing, email, etc. It has been rock solid for 6+ years until lately and I think the issue of not booting properly is that the master CD-ROM gave up the ghost. And so I took that out hoping that is all it will take. Here is my...

    Stumped: Why Can't I Burn?

    This one has me really stumped. My son has made a list of songs in several Library Options: Creative Media Source and/or Windows Media Player. They are in MP3 format and were downloaded from the internet (yes, they are fully legal; I won't allow otherwise). The thing is I can't burn from...
