Who makes the best memory.?

who do you think makes the best desktop computer memory between: kingston, ocb, corsair, crucial. can you rate these 1-4

The Best Answer:

It all really depends on price range, type of memory, etc. They all make pretty good sticks and there are many more – like patriot, samsung, g skill, etc I've installed all of these types of RAM you've listed and all have worked out well so far. I would recommend going to newegg and searching through the RAM you might want and reading reviews. You can sort by MHz and DIMM size, etc.

What is the best Video capture device to do a let's play

April 24, 2011 admin No comments

What is the best Video capture device to do a let's play?

Im 15 so i have limited cash i have like $100-150. But i want to do lets plays. im trying to record on my ps3 and i have a windows XP computer. Thanks in advance for any and all help i can get.

The Best Answer:

$100-150 is kind of in between. I would recommend the Dazzle Video Creator Plus HD (not really HD for some reason) or if you want to stretch your budget a bit I would get the Hauppauge HD PVR or the Blackmagic Intensity Pro. Both are about $187 and capture in HD (720p and 1080i) via component (HD PVR) and HDMI (Intensity Pro) input/outputs. If you don't have a very powerful computer then I would get the HD PVR since all of the stress is upon the box not your computer, but if you do have a powerful computer then getting the intensity pro may be a better choice unless you don't prefer one HD input over the other, and make sure you have an open PCI-E x1 slot open since it is an internal device.

So to recap –

Dazzle Video Creator Plus HD – $70-80 — Records in Standard-Definition, budget device.

Hauppauge HD PVR – $187 — Records in HD, a bit out of price range, good if you have a low-end PC

Blackmagic Intensity Pro – $187 — Records in HD, a bit out of price range, good if you have a fairly powerful PC and would prefer HDMI over component.

Why won't my CD/DVD drive recognize any disks

April 24, 2011 admin No comments

Why won't my CD/DVD drive recognize any disks?

I have an Optiarc DVD+ RD AW 764OS drive and use Windows 7. It has been working fine, but then wouldn't recognize that there was a disk in the drive with my Sims 2 game. I thought it was the game, but now it won't recognize movie disks either. I tried going in through Device Manager and uninstalling my drive and restarting, since I thought it would then recognize a new device; but it didn't seem to do anything at all (didn't seem to remove the drive even). I installed Driver Oracle, and it says my device is up to date. I also do the auto check on the drive itself, and it says that it's fine and up to date. What do I do; how do I fix it?

Additional Details

I tried the MS Filter Fix you posted, but he program won't run on my computer (keeps having an error, despite being reinstalled). According to the page, it is for people who have upgraded to Windows Media. As I mentioned, I have Windows 7.

The Best Answer:

Try the MS Filter fix.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929461
Edit:Try the manual fix.
"To resolve this problem, remove the affected filter drivers. To do this, follow these steps:
Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then click regedit in the Programs list.

If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password, or click Continue.
Locate, and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentContro…
Caution There can be many instances of the registry subkey that is mentioned in step 2. You must make sure that you are in the appropriate registry subkey before modifying the UpperFilters and the LowerFilters values. To verify that you are in the appropriate registry subkey, make sure that the Default data value is DVD/CD-ROM and the Class data value is CDROM.
In the right pane, if you have UpperFilters, right-click UpperFilters, and then click Delete.
Click Yes to confirm the removal of the UpperFilters registry entry.
In the right pane, if you have LowerFilters, right-click LowerFilters, and then click Delete.
Click Yes to confirm the removal of the LowerFilters registry entry.
Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.
Note After you remove the UpperFilters registry entry and the LowerFilters registry entry, you may lose functionality in certain programs such as CD recording programs. In this scenario, you must reinstall any affected programs. If the problem recurs, contact the program vendor to determine whether an update is available for the program. "

How do I make my facebook status visible to friends I've hidden it from

April 22, 2011 admin No comments

How do I make my facebook status visible to friends I've hidden it from?

I blocked my parents and some friends from my status because I was tired of what they had to say, but now I want my parents to see a post I've already made, but they weren't unblocked. When I click on the little lock above it, it shows who is blocked, but it won't allow me to click on it or change it. I've already made it so that my future post will be visible, but I was wondering if I can make my status visible to them when it's already been posted. Sorry this is a little confusing, but thanks in advanced. I pick best answers.

The Best Answer:

If it's a specific post that you've blocked from them then there's no way to make them able to see it again… sorry!

Can YouTube upload an Adobe Premiere 8 project document directly from the YouTube website

April 22, 2011 admin No comments

Can YouTube upload an Adobe Premiere 8 project document directly from the YouTube website?

I tried uploading it from the "share" button in the Adobe Premiere 8 software, but Adobe always crashes like 20 min. before my video is completly uploaded, which takes about an hour and 1/2 to upload.
Would I be able to just go to YouTube.com, press upload, and select the Adobe project document? Or would I only be able to upload it from the actual software?

(I tried uploading to YouTube and it says document uploaded, and then it says "processing video" or something, but it doesn't show a progress bar or anything, so I'm not sure if it's actually working or not?)
Thanks :)

The Best Answer:

Omg, I had the exact same problem!
But no, you must make it a .WMV or .AVI or something like that first before you can upload it.
Sorry about it crashing.
Nothing would work for me, so I just got Sony Vegas instead.
It's A LOT better. (:
Good luck with everything!

Can i post a picture onto someones wall?

i found a pic my friend would find funny and i want to show it to her on facebook. can i post it on her wall? like the picture or does it have to be the link to it?

The Best Answer:

You can have the picture saved into your documents and then press the photo button on her profile page above where it says "Write something…." Then you upload it and press share.

OR

If you have the picture and you would like to share the picture from a website, then you can copy and paste the web page URL into the spot where it says "Write something…."

Can you do with display pictures on facebook

April 22, 2011 admin No comments

Can you do with display pictures on facebook?

is it possible to have two display pictures at the same time for different people, for example, one displayed to my friends (who can see all my dps of the past) and one chosen to show for rest of the facebook community who are not friends of mine, so can only see my dp.
I can't seem to find any way to do this but one girl added me and it appeared to be a graduation picture very professional, then when i accepted her friend request it was a party picture. and i found the graduation picture that was not recent in her list of dps. the next day she still had the party pic as dp but when i looked at her account from an account not in her friends list it was the grad pic again…
I know sometimes it takes a while for changes to be in effect but this was kinda weird, and I've seen it happen more that this one case, just usually im not such a stalker so I don't notice much. lol
Oh and don't tell me why dont you ask her, cause I dont want to look like a stalker freak lol
thanks!

Additional Details

*oops i meant can you do THIS with dps on facebook*

The Best Answer:

You can only have one display picture at a time. If you don't want certain people to see certain parts of your profile, then just go to account settings.

Question about Cyber bullying

April 22, 2011 admin No comments

Question about Cyber bullying?

So, this person who graduated from my high school last year made a Facebook page where people can send a slut*y picture of someone and a reason why they think this person is a slut to this page and the person who made the page puts up the picture and posts a rude comment about it. My question is: could the people who sent the messages get in trouble?

Additional Details

One of the pictures is of a girl pretending to give a bj, could THAT be considered child pornography?

The Best Answer:

Yes – and the slut*y pictures that are posted up of them could be reported as child pornography (idepending on how the picture is and if the picture shows the person under 18 years of age), hence, the person who posted them up would be in huge trouble.

How do you like the new IE 9 Anything Special about it

April 22, 2011 admin No comments

How do you like the new IE 9? Anything Special about it?

I just downloaded IE 9,
and I wanted to know what it's strength it compared the other browser.
I used Chrome to help in learn languages because it was WR extension,
I use FF4 for looking a blogs, and watching video
Is there anything that IE 9 excels in, that other are little weak?

Additional Details

I use Chrome, FF 4,
I want to use all Browsers… at the same time

The Best Answer:

Ah, well i downloaded 9 and here is what i got:
A little faster than IE8, but not by much
Too many toolbars
and medium load time
takes a while to render pictures

it succeeds in:
News/blogs/anything you can read
its okay with downloads (but i think FF and Chrome succeed with that position)
Great for google/web searches

But those are the notes i took, and if I were you, I'd go with FF4 or Safari.

In Facebook, how do I undo a "Recent activity" hide

April 22, 2011 admin No comments

In Facebook, how do I undo a "Recent activity" hide?

There was a place on my wall called "Recent activity". Under this heading, it would report, among other things, comments I left on other people's pages. I don't like this and regularly delete them. Today, when I clicked the little "x" next to one of the lines that reported a recent comment, I got two options which were worded something like "Remove" and "Hide all comment activity". I clicked "Hide all comment activity". For some reason now all of the link posts (e.g., posts to videos, articles, anything that is not a simple status) have disappeared from my wall. That is not what "Hide all comment activity" means to me.

The Best Answer:

From your profile page, scroll down to bottom and choose 'Edit Options' in the light blue bar. Then you should see something about 'recent activity' or something like that in there, uncheck that and click save. I had the same problem this morning, and apparently so did a lot of other people.
