probably not much help, but a few months ago after heaps of research, I was dead set on the Panasonic 76CM 100HZ Widescreen TX-32F250A. I decided to hold off a while until the price dropped. But now I'm probably going plasma or LCD.

have you got the PC yet? what about a thin client running CE or linux?

do you mean it hangs on the "welcome to outlook screen". if so, let it run. even if it takes an hour. if not, forget about the import. for now... instead, go into file --> data file management and get the path and filename of your primary pst file. probably something like \docs &...

your PST file is too big. anything over 2gig will corrupt as yours has. you can truncate it with this but you will either need to split it into 2 files or do some serious archiving.

why not restart..

Wow. thanks for all the awesome tips guys. I'm really looking forward to the weekend and trying out some of the methods described here. Parents SLR finally turned up yesterday so I'm madly reading up on it and memorising all the settings. If I get some nice shots, I'll post them up some time...

wow... say it isn't so...

wicked. I'm going to give DSL a crack and see how it goes. will let yas know...

Lo all, I'm looking for a simple, light weight distro to install on some old PCs to use as MS RDP thin clients. I prefer the isntall to be as simple as possible, as I will be sending my lacky off site to run the installs. Any suggestions?

Hey guys, I got a suprise invite to Indy last week, which is basically 3 days of champ and touring cars on Australia's gold coast. I'll be positioned at a high vantage point in a trackside apartment with a balconney over hanging the track so I should have a pretty good view. Unfortunately...

My new TV room. I moved house 2 weeks ago and now have a little more space. Just need to update my TV. My SD Box, Yamaha HTR-5830S and HTPC. (VCR, some junk and flat mate's Xbox are nicely hidden behind the doors). The room again. (They are my flat mate's pics on the wall). Yamaha...

my gigabyte to gigabyte sysprep didn't work. Think its just chance. by the way, I think sysprep clears your desktop and your documents. make sure you move anything from there you wanna keep.

not quite sure, but this site might be a good place to start looking. :)

I think that is a problem with your codecs or a dud video as explorer is generating a thumbnail icon from the first frame of the video. try changing the icons from thumbnails to a list view or something. worked for me...

The MSI has optical out, doesn't look like the Foxconn does. Something to consider...

toying on something like "Distracto"

do you guys make up names for your HTPC boxes? I've been racking my brain trying to come up with someting so i can make up a fancy logo sticker thing, but not really getting anywhere. any ideas?

Well I stand corrected. factory restore seemed to fix it. cheers. ;)

oops, i forgot about this one. if you can get mbm to export a file, you can create a very simple batch file to upload it. obvioulsy you can add the batch file to your scheduled tasks. here's some info on ftp in batch files http://www.robvanderwoude.com/index.html there's plenty more on google.

could be symptoms of hard drive failure, but generally that shouldn't cause CPU spikes. :confused:

you should also check your wake on lan / modem settings.

I have trouble finding work for my support guys. Our 60+ workstations are banned from the net and all mail is filtered of viruses and media files. but, I still run symantec corporate without question. Prevention Prevention.

how often? have you got any temp monitoring software on your pc at present?

Ah, of course, and they need to stay as admins right... interesting... could you deny execute permissions to everyone except the local admin to the file \system32\mmc.exe ?? just a thought...

or as I've seen, create a batch file on the desktop and execute it. proxy?

My girlfriend bought a Benq Joybook lappy not too long ago from a big aussie retailer (that I personally dislike)... anyway, The hard drive started making squeeling noises, and I told her to take it back ASAP and get it swapped out. anyway, she let it go for a little while, and it eventually...

Gaim can. http://gaim.sourceforge.net

Colleague of mine keeps running off to meetings and leaving his outlook open. Because we are running POP3, this means that he doesn't get new messages to his phone. Is there some simple way that we can set outlook (XP) to close after say 30 mins of inactivity. I looked at the exitwindows.scr...

how does max payne go with a controller?

I'm trying to put together a nice little range of games on my HTPC, that can be controlled by a game controller only. (more specifically a PS2 dual shock). I already have a few racing games of course, but would like to have a few different styles (adventure, RPG etc) to suit different people...

You do use it. it forms part of your windows explorer system. best thing you can do is make sure its up to date and hide the icons on your desktop. Also there are some crappy sites that refuse to work unless under IE, so hold onto it.

I love the features of the web browser... where have I seen those before?? :rolleyes:

i had this problem once with a ps2 k/b. just tried another k/b and all was well.

1280 x 768 need to scroll on the front page. :(

Yo, I posted a while ago my plans to UPG my mother board, and i've now scheduled it for the weekend. I had it all planned out in my head until about 30 seconds ago when I realised that my bootloader is probably going to get pretty messed up. Currently I run a dual boot setup with XP on one drive...

Have you guys change the default wheel settings at all?

I was tipped on here to play this game last week, so I ordered off ebay new for $AU10. I was out snowboarding on the weekend, so only got to install it last night. As the others of said, damn lucky i bought my momo force wheel a few weeks ago, even for simple things like left foot braking etc...
