Hi Skip (and everyone) - I think I've put this one to rest. The good news is I found the answer on ATI's Web site, although I had to register the X1300 before I could get the answer. The bad news is the answer itself... ATI says the X1300 and X1600 are incompatible with some Dell desktops...

Hello experts - might I ask you for some help, please? I'm trying to upgrade the video card in a Dell Dimension 4550 desktop (2.66 GHz processor, 512 MB RAM, AGP and PCI slots only) running Windows XP). It worked just fine with an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (until that card's fan went out and the...

Yes, the folder remains "disappeared" - that's the whole point. Refreshing doesn't help either...

Hi all, I'm hoping you can help with a perplexing, and annoying problem... I have a 80 GB Seagate IDE hard drive (3.5"), bought last year, installed in an external USB enclosure. It works great, and I regularly use it for backing up and transferring data. The problem is that, all too often...

Hello all, I've run into a bizarre problem with a friend's computer (PC, about 2 years old, WinXP, DSL Internet connection) and Internet Explorer. If I type a Web site name (google.com, www.utexas.edu) into the address box, IE just sits there doing nothing and never connects to the site. If I...

Hi rimmy, Also try www.videohelp.com - in my humble opinion, a veritable treasure trove for all things related to video on PCs. They have quite a collection of software tools. Cheers, --Michael

Hi, I just had to do a similar thing for a financial report - several vendors, each having several account numbers, each having separate charges, and the report was supposed to print all charges AND a sum for each account number. All you need to do is group your report by Day, then by Hour...

Bradarad: I did indeed check the Sound CP - one of my first stops. It's what made me realize the actual input was working properly... but didn't help with the software. BUT! Everyone: I wrote to Griffin and received a helpful response that finally solved the problem. To wit: -----------...

Jason- Kludgy solution? I don't know how to extract embedded sounds from PowerPoint... but in a pinch you can always capture them. By that I mean... play the sounds and record them right back into your computer. In Windows you can do this by opening the Recording box (accessed from the...

Hi bsquared18, You are right, MPEG is an acceptable format for PowerPoint, and actually often works the best of all. I've heard similar stories before, though; it seems that PowerPoint can be finicky when playing movies back. My solution to this type of problem is to convert to another movie...

Hi all, I'm hoping you can help me on a problem that's rather stumping me. I'm trying to print from a Windows XP system to a LaserJet 2200D that has a JetDirect 600n EIO server plugged into it. The computer and printer are both serviced by a Linksys router. The problem is, basically, I...

I do indeed have the latest version of Audacity(well, unless a newer one came out in the last week). I know Audacity can do stereo tracks - that's not the problem. I can't seem to get it to RECORD in stereo! Say I start Audacity and create ONE new blank track in stereo. If I then click the...

Thanks for your replies! jimoblak - I'm definitely sending a stereo signal. My problem with Audacity was that it didn't matter whether I set stereo or mono - any time I click "Record" it would add a new track with mono. (It'd never record to the track for which I set options!) chiph - I...

Hello O Experts, I am helping a friend of mine set up his iMac (flatpanel, OS 10.3.9, 128 MB RAM) for recording audio. He purchased and installed an iMic for this purpose. We are having problems with the device, however... First, the input audio will not "play through" to the speakers -...

Hi SuaveRick, To your first question: Based on my own experience, I would say you should have no problems. I've used an old Fujitsu Siemens laptop to run my image processing code (in Matlab) overnight... several occasions of the thing operating at 100% for up to 16 hours at a time. No...
