    reinstall windows 7

    My laptop got hit by viruses a couple of time recently. Both times I could Google and pin-pointed the exact virus. There were articles on how to "take it out" by editing registry and all that. I don't trust any of that. Many of those steps could not be performed when the virus has taken...

    reinstall windows 7

    How did Windows 7 come on that netbook? Does it have a recovery option? (e.g. for HP laptops or desktops, you can recover to factory default settings on Windows).

    Please to help with some advice

    I think you need to ask yourself the business question: are the risks you are forced to undertake if your cable modem service suddenly cuts out worth the extra costs of protecting yourself with a second source of internet connection? >> Is there a way to add a second line (T1, satellite...

    Should I replace or renovate my computer?

    It doesn't make much sense to renovate (or "upgrade"). You need to change the CPU, motherboard, memory, and maybe even power supply (likely). All you can keep is the chassis. Maybe even a hard drive or CDROM. Of course you can re-use the keyboard, mouse and the trivial peripherals. You...

    SIIG USB-to-VGA Pro adapter, better than Tritton SEE2 Xtreme UV200

    A year ago I was searching for a USB-to-VGA (or DVI) adapter that supports the 1920x1080 resolution. I only found one that supports it: Tritton SEE2 Xtreme UV200. At first I was happy... but... Problems showed later... somehow... when I have more than one UV200 on the same computer: 1)...

    Pictures of your trading stations

    Okay. I will not be surprised that some of the pictures (the posts) were duped. This thread contains probably over 100 desk setup pictures. The video featured maybe 30 40 50 of them I didn't count. Your statement said half of these pictures were photoshoped. 50%. I think that's an over...

    Intel SSD 320, 80GB, $70... <$1/GB, AR. Offer expires tomorrow

    Sorry I don't quite follow you traderharley. You can have both the SSD and the Spinner drive hooked up at the same time. But, I believe, whichever physical drive you BOOT FROM (maybe selectable from your BIOS, I don't know)... then Windows will assign it as the C drive. If you boot from the...

    Intel SSD 320, 80GB, $70... <$1/GB, AR. Offer expires tomorrow

    With the new SSD, you need to reinstall Windows 7 and your trading platform on it, as you said. You also would need to re-install all other programs (now on a different drive, say "D:" instead of "C:") on the SSD too, most likely. Unless they are simple programs. Because as you install those...

    You use one of these systems to use hand gestures to place orders... in the heat of the battle, the computer will sell for you while you mean buy, and will buy for you when you mean sell. Guaranteed! LOL :D

    Best way to get W7 to hold size/position of windows?

    I didn't like the Aero scheme in Windows 7 at first. (It is new with Win7). But it kind of grew on me. I am a keyboard traverser. That means I like to traverse with the keyboard whenever I can, and only use the mouse if I have to. I use "Alt-tab" to switch between different windows very...

    Dell XPS 13 looks like my next laptop

    To the question in the opening post: "as long as I can find a way to connect to a monitor I'm gold" Looks like you have 2 choices: #1) Use the mini Displayport. Get a mini-Displayport to VGA (or DVI or HDMI) adapter to connect to your external monitor...

    HDTV as Monitor?

    I was mistaken. I thought I didn't have such configuration but I actually do. Even the el-cheapo EVGA 8400 GS card has a HDMI out. Here is an excerpt from the 8400 GS manual, page 8: = = = = = Configuring HDMI for Audio Output (Select Models only): Connecting your HDTV via HDMI allows...

    Broadband Problem / Load Balancer

    Swan: Adding a switch in your home network may or may not gain you any advantage. It depends on your configurations. So far in reading your many posts, I have not figured out your configuration. If you have one and only one PC to do trading, then plugging it directly to your cable modem...

    HDTV as Monitor?

    RE: HDMI audio Per this wiki page: Dolby TrueHD bitstream capable DTS-HD Master Audio bitstream capable with HDMI 1.3 and above. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI If the video card supports HDMI as an output, then it seems logical that the driver should be capable to send the...

    HDTV as Monitor?

    Yap HDMI carries the audio signals in addition to video. I think it is more than the basic 2 channel though not sure if it does 5.1 or something like that. For the basic stereo, no problem. It would work if your laptop has a HDMI output port (mine does). Or your PCIeX16 video card has a...
