my sister bought a 40 inch samsung to game on. i guess some folks told her she had to have 120 hz to play games on, so she ponied up for one that did. she says her 360 is only kicking out 60 hz and since she dropped the cash, she wants it at 120. she says it's running 60 hz twice? i dunno. i have no idea about all that. can one of you give me a dummy explanation of what it is?

This is really starting to bug me. Okay first off the connection here is crap, a really big pile of crap. Second off when I first moved in my friend who has a mac always had to reset the internet on his computer because it would just stop working like every 2 minutes he would have to click the antenna symbol and turn it off and back on. Mine was fine for awhile, it still ran slow but I didn't have to reset it every few minutes now it is doing it to me. I've got no clue what the problem is, I keep having to unplug my wireless adapter and putting it back in. My xbox stays connected to live though, so even though our comps disconnect my xbox does not, even though it runs slo…

So today when I got back from school my internet wasn't working. My desktop said it was connected to the network but not the internet. I tried powercycling the modem/router, running Windows troubleshooting, rebooting both PCs, and using the Shaw (My ISP) support download. None of them worked. So when I got back from work it still wasn't working and I decided to phone Shaw support. I sat on hold for nearly two hours before someone came on, told me to plug the modem directly into the computer, and once she verified I had internet access told me it was not Shaw's problem and I need to phone Lynksis (who makes my router). So I phone Lynksis, get connected to a person as soon …

Anyone use this while streaming? I'm not sure exactly how to change my text color when I use it for in-channel chat? Its charcoal or some weird color that does not show up well in the chat window. Thanks.

I got a lap top, and I need to know how to make it where my F1-F12 keys do just that without having to press Fn. Like for instance my F1-F12 keys have other functions like F2 turns on/off the net, F3 shows the battery power so if I need to use my F keys in a game I have to press Fn as well. So is there anyway to change them just to regular F keys and if I need to use the other functions I can use Fn then? Because I never ever use those functions on my computer.

The last grand prize winner from the Annual Giveaway, won't be able to hold it this year. Besides the unfortunate geographical mess it would have been for this person to send out prizes, something else had come up, too. We don't need to discuss who it was. That isn't important at all. Things happen and some are unavoidable. We can focus on what should have been, but I'd prefer if we tried to fix it before it comes time for the Giveaway. So then, is there anyone here, who has an unusual amount of swag that's taking up room in their houses? Someone who wouldn't mind hosting, or co-hosting this years Giveaway? Also, the host(s) will be needing some contributors, too. We may …

Hey, so I've been having some issues with my laptop overheating and crashing, at times I'll have AIM, itunes, firefox, and word open so I've lost data in the past. So i brought it into Staples for a Free Pc tune up. After 1 and half hours of waiting, they said my software was fine, no viruses, and they dusted out my laptop fan. They said though that my laptop's fan doesn't shut off basically and to find out what was wrong would take a $70 diagnostic test. I'm a little tight on cash so I figured why not ask the computer experts here . Anyone have any ideas?

So I've been fiddling around with the live streaming to Twitch feature in Black Ops 2. I bought some cables, hooked up both my laptop and Xbox directly to my router to reduce wireless latency. Either way, and even if I completely disconnect my laptop so the ONLY thing connected directly to my network is my Xbox, I still get this crappy lagging stream that always says "buffering". http://www.twitch.tv/bollweevil12/b/372766852 EDIT: Can't figure out how to send the exact link, but if you go to the channel it's the most recent video, around 8 minutes long. I wasn't going for gameplay, I was just fiddling around. As I know some of you are really good with this, so I …

Hi All, I don't really know where to look, and am having a small issue on my work computer which is a mac. I have a network account (on our server) and a local account on this computer. I created my local account today (while on my network account) and logged out to go to class and came back and I can't log into my network account on this computer only now. I have tried logging into it on other computers on our network but this one is not working. I can log into my local account, but for some reason after I created that account (as a safety precaution) I am no longer allowed to log into my network account on this computer. I have been to system pref's and enabled all netw…

I just ordered a new pc and I thought it was a damn good deal, but some of my friends are trying to tell me they could build a better one for less. I got this for around $680 delivered after my discount. I looked through fry's and newegg trying to get the best deal and found I couldn't even buy the parts this comes with for that price. Please let me know what you think.

So if anyone has some useful programs …
