thanks, but im just going to save up the grand it costs for a really good large IPS.

Basically I am looking for a new monitor. I do PC gaming AND also color correction for video work. I'm kind of torn between these sets:

I'm trying to copy about 160 GB worth of media files from one external drive to my internal drive. The process gets so far then I get an error saying "item not found" "could not find this item, it is no longer located in blah blah blah directory". it is however definitely there.

Got a new system set up over the weekend. Sunday night everything was fine, i was doing some overclock testing on my graphics card and running Furmark. I then played Deus Ex Hr. Everything was going off without a hitch. I shut things down for the night and in being the system was just set up, I'm ...

OK I'm not sure how exactly Win 7 works, but if I do a reinstall, what data will I lose off the partition? Not sure if it just reinstalls system files and also deletes data files or what the deal is.

velvta

Just wondering what the scoop is on that and if theres ways around it. I really dont WANT to if I can avoid it. Someone mentioned changing to the IDE/SATA mode to Compatible until the latest IDE drivers get installed via the OS, then change back to AHCI if I have it, wondering what anyone here has ...

velvta

Well I would like to play games like the latest GTA, Witcher 2, and I want to be ready for Skyrim and really I just want to not have to upgrade a GPU for another 3 years.

Also youre right about Nvidia, checked out some benchmarks on Tom's and it shows the gtx560 beats out the 6870 slightly but ...

velvta

The thing is that I have read about how some people feel that the 6870's aren't "worth" it compared to the 6850's, so with my budget personally, when there's a $50 difference in price, and supposedly not a huge difference performance wise, you start adding cost in with the calculation to figure out ...

velvta

hey guys thanks for the chatter, informative stuff. My CPU is old but I will definitely be upgrading it and the mobo within the next 6 months to whatever processor falls in the $150 range. Thinking ahead to that, the 650 watt still ok? Who exactly are the type of people that would need to go bigger ...

looking to get a radeon 6870 gfx card, thought that seemed like a decent inexpensive PSU. Ill be powering that plus 2 hard drives, dvd burner, pretty much all thats in my sig

So im trying to boot form the Win 7 install CD to get into the recovery options and such but when i do, i dont get the option to do so, it just goes right to a screen asking me where to install windows. Any clue what I'm missing?

velvta

k guys thanks

velvta

curious to know your reasoning for Nvidia preference.

My PSU right now is 500w, I realize I'm cutting it close if i dont upgrade that along with the card. If the card upgrade right now will even increase performance in games by half until the bottleneck with the CPU is fixed I'd be happy really. I ...

I have an Athlon 64x2 3800 CPU at stock 2.1 ghz. My gfx card is a geforce 7800gt.

I am looking to upgrade to a Radeon HD6850 gfx card but wondering if on modern games if I'd see less benefit than if I kept the very old card I have now but upgraded the mobo/CPU.

It's really one or the other for me ...

So out of nowhere my screen got much more washed out like someone cranked the gamma. I tried messing with the graphic card settings but it didnt fix anythign and the increased gamma is basically set in stone. Rebooted, and whent he monitor shut off there was a small bright circle in the middle of ...

32-bit & 64-bit drivers for Windows 7 and Windows Vista are available for the following products: AA_Micro, AA_Micro II, AA_Amigo, AA_SRM, AK-R8, Riviera and Montego DDL. All other "Turtle Beach" and "Voyetra" Hardware and Software Products (including the Video Advantage Capture series) were ...

I use a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz. The device hasnt been supported in years and I was wondering if anyone can help me with finding a way to get the drivers working in windows 7 x64?

So I have Win 7 and XP, and I thought that I would be able to boot into XP and use programs like Chrome, Firefox, Thunderbird etc without any issues but I guess not. For example i ran Thunderbird from the XP drive it's installed on while running Win 7 and it basically runs like it's the first time ...

This free space on the same partition as current operating system. Anyway...NEVER do an upgrade, always do a clean install.

Hey Tony, want to clarify what i'm doing this for. i'm basically looking to just do a windows reinstall. It seems with win 7 and correct me if I'm wrong, but "upgrading" to ...

Telling me there's not enough space on the drive to do an upgrade. WTF?

I can watch these files reappear soon after deleting them.

hey some kind soul on the forums for the game went through a painstaking process to narrow down what the deal is and I finally got it running. Thanks though.

Ive turned off my antivirus thinking maybe it was interfering but still nothing ...

for exampel I want to find lets say all entries that have "bobs program" in the folder name or entry and delete them instead of having to go through and delete them singularly using the search, anything that does that?

ok well heres the deal... got that easybcd software and set it so that theres an entry for a windows xp on drive E, and chose to restart the system. Not only did it completely reset my bios settings to default for some reason, but when i choose the windows entry I made, the only thing that happens ...

For dual boots...I used to always install the older OS first, newer OS last.

right well thats pretty much how it worked. I had this xp install on e for years, the c drive xp on as well but that wasnt the drive that booted up, i booted from e drive. So I just installed win 7 on c drive so yes the ...

velvta

so what I wanted to do was have a dual boot scenario with XP on E drive like I had been using then have win 7 on c drive as the new main OS. When I installed win 7 i told it to format and install on c. E as far as I can see is untouched except for now when I go into the BIOS and chooe the E drive to ...

Intel is by far cheaper and faster than AMD at this time.

And I'd stick with Nvidia for a graphics card, the driver support is just much much better at the moment. The new series is getting ready to release also which should drive prices down some more on current models.

any clue as to how long ...

because that will do that when you restore,it will cause a double entry

if that's the case,then just delete one of the bookmark folders

where does ff keep the bookmarks folder? cannot find it.

i dont think theres any real reason to repair the install. can just work from recovery console.
