Figured I would start a computer thread for any Gamelive folks that want to brag,complain or get help. I know plommer is good with computers but I don't know who else is. I have built quite a few computers from scratch over the years and can usually figure out what is wrong with my stuff without having to take it in.
MrQuincy's Spring Computer Tip
Now that spring is here I suggest that it is time to clean your computer. By this I mean, turn it off, unplug it, take the side cover off. Next step, take it outside and open that new can of 'dust-off'
that you just bought at your local computer store. Do not use a vacuum cleaner or an air compressor..spend the $$ on the real stuff. Now go to town on that fucker. If you have never cleaned your computer, you will be thoroughly amazed at the amount of dust that is in the fan and in all the nooks and crannies. Your computer will love you for it as they need all the fresh air they can get.
Now then,
I am happy to report that I have recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate on my seldom used desktop computer just in time before they stopped supporting Windows XP.
The best part about changing the operating system was that the new Windows 7 driver package for my older Video card finally has the HDMI Audio out option...
This means that I can now use my PC to stream video and audio to my HD TV and I don't have to go out and buy a dedicated USB compatible VCR or any other input device for the TV...bonus. Youtube/NHL streaming here I come.
