    Hm uninstalling drivers? I downloaded the newest drivers and installed them. But how do I uninstall the old drivers first? Does that really make a difference?

    Got a monitor problem.

    I would appreciate any help with this. I have a 19 inch widecscreen HW191D monitor. Had it for about 2 years now, always worked well. Recently, when I turn on my computer, it has a hard time coming on. The computer will start fine, but the monitor stays blank and says "Check Video Cable." At...

    what are some good indie developer websites (with their game demos)?

    I've found a few really nice ones that come with great game demos. The best of which I'd say is http://www.spiderwebsoftware.com/. They made old school top down rpgs, and their demos are massive - like 20 hours long. But they only make 1 game a year, which is understandable. So I'm curious to...

    having trouble hooking up DVI support w/ monitor

    yeah my :: does have a __ inbetween it. the cable does plug into both the monitor and the video card fine. I have an ATI 9550 128 MB, so it's new enough where DVI should work. Just when I plug it in I get the 'cable not connected' message. A friend of mine said I could bring the monitor to his...

    *help plz* What's a good 19' LCD flat-screen Monitor?

    My old 17' box monitor is finally dying out, and I thought since it's xmas (sale time in stores), I'd get one of those sexy LCD monitors. Probably be nice to upgrade to 19' too. I play a lot of games, so that's what it'll be for. 200-250 is my price range. I looked around, and saw there are...

    any cheap and good pc speakers?

    I'm looking for some nice but cheap speakers for my pc. Doesn't have to be surround sound - I'm used to just 2.1. My current set is on its last leg. I'm looking for the 30-50 price range, though that's not set in stone. If anyone can just mention a quality brand name, that would help too.

    Gamestop has DragonWarrior 8 demos that they give out with preorders of the game now. But when the clerk saw how disappointed I was on learning the demo was not free, he shrugged and gave me a copy. Praises to the good people of the world! Maybe you'll be as fortunate as I was. BTW, not sure...
