    System Recovery boot menu problem

    I think Acer recovery is alt+f10, is that your brand? Other brands (in no particular order use some of these combinations) f11 Alt f11 f10 f12 Basically try everything :) And some bioses have a direct route to the recovery program that you need to select.

    Microphone problem

    A bit more information wouldn't go a miss - details of fault, have you tried plugging the mic into a different machine? Have you checked the audio levels (most importantly the 'recording' audio levels - if you are on XP/Vista)

    The Biased

    Although It doesn't affect us Brits quite as immediately I do have to say I breathed a sigh of relief when he was elected - watched a few documentaries about him and interviews, he seems honest enough. He's gotta be the lesser of the two evils though? A brilliant quote from the latest Chris...

    toothpaste/tooth brush

    Toothpaste - i like the stripy stuff! Toothbrush - whatever stands out so I don't end up using someone else's (A trick left over from my Uni days where day glo pink was mine - not so important now I have my own pad)

    So does anyone still know what the hell's going on?

    Well I'm keeping fairly on top of the latest tech - Job means I have to - although I'm sure that I'd soon let it slip again if my job had to change. Don't know if you'd class me as part of the old lads though ^_^ Do you have a budget for your new system, are you still set on AMD (as I still am!)

    Internet Goes Down HELP!!

    Kewl best of luck - BTW I set mine to 1000 and it really made a difference - just be careful you don't get a virus - your ISP would not be your friend if you have that much outbound capability and a virus starts spamming :D

    Internet Goes Down HELP!!

    Vista has an ultra gimped TCP stack, you may just be simply using too much - I upped mine from 10 to 1000 and now can leech from Usenet, Torrents while web browsing with no problems. I'll try to dig the link to the tool out later.

    Coax Input - Low bass compared to Direct 6ch

    I have that set - I only use the coax from a media player - do you have an optical link that you could make use of? Its likely because the coax is a digital link (as opposed to the direct link) the speaker system will be doing the decoding itself as when using the direct option the on board...

    Graphic card, AGP vs PCI? What should I buy?

    Welcome to HWF! It depends totally on what motherboard you have - you don't actually have a choice :) Let us know your full system specs.

    Rear speakers not providing sound

    Yeah make sure you are playing a full 5.1 track as many sound cards have to have some sort of 'speaker fill' setting enabled in order to utilise all the speakers. If you are having codec issues download the k-lite codec pack - i've used it for years and never not been able to open any sort of...

    8600GT Broken part but working well..

    It is a capacitor, it will be giving the gpu or the gpu's memory a good constant voltage. While your card may function ok without it you may find problems while playing games - if so they are dead easy to replace just find someone who can solder :)

    Red Alert 3: Can't connect to server, can't verify, can't play :(

    Only if the other computer has almost exactly the same motherboard chipset. Best to take your whole computer over to a different network :)

    Logitech Z-2300 2.1 Speaker setup!

    I think the sound quality vs the price you can't do any better - but they havent updated the design in a looong time (as they are still selling well) - you can see this in the plastic-y remote but overall it's a pretty sweet setup. I have them up on my ceiling giving surround for my projector...

    Logitech Z-2300 2.1 Speaker setup!

    I have the z5500's and love them, can't vouch for the 2.1 sets personally though. Don't buy them for ebuyer though, i had to send mine back 5 times in total (their incompetent technicians really - not Logitech's fault)
