View 5 RepliesI just bought a new 64 bit computer with 4GB RAM and 3.1 GHz AMD Athlon64 AM2 Dual Core 6000+. Also got Windows Vista Home Premium 64 Bit. But my problem is that the sound is awful, it sounds like tapes in a cassette player when the batteries are running down, with added dropouts and crackles, especially when I minimise the media player when playing audio files, (i've tiried WMP, VLC, Zoom and WinAmp). Any videos I stream on the net also sound like this. AVI's also have poor sound quality and can also be "sticky" the picture not running smoothly.
My soundcard is fine, i've run different ones on the machine and they all sound like this, my amp, cables and speakers are working perfectly too. I never use more than 1.5GB RAM and about 20% of the CPU according to TaskManager.
After a few hours, I killed it. No errors, but no movement. Seems like a waste. I was only testing the conversion of an 8mg .AVI file.

I was trying to de-clutter my desktop and I got too happy. I accidentally deleted my recycle bin icon that sits on the desktop.
My question--is there any way I can get that back, or is it just gone?
I'm new to a x64 OS, I did have Home Premium (32bit) on my PC but upgraded yesterday. Since upgrading (clean install) I've notice that the boot times are longer and the shut down times have increased significantly. One of the reasons I moved to x64 was because of the faster boot and shut down times. A few other programs are taking longer to load/respond but I'm not sure if that's because they are 32bit programs running in a x64 environment....

Text was crisp and clear with the RGB connection but when I switched to HDMI (to get the audio also) the text got pretty blurry (graphics are still pretty good). I've tried adjusting the resolution, the Clear Type text, and the Smaller 100% and Medium 125% settings but nothing seems to help. I've also tried various adjustments on the TV to no avail.

my setup is vista 32-bit premium, audigy se sound board, intel 1.8ghz dual-core, 2gb ram and an msi micro-atx mb. i have loaded what i believe to be the latest sound drivers although things are actually marginally better with the on-board, realtek hd sound chip. btw, my download speed is reasonable at about 5mb/s.
After waking the PC each morning the mouse (MS Wireless Optical Mouse 2.0) exhibits poor scrolling. A significant amount of wheel rotation will result in a jerky and slow scroll. Before sleep it is perfectly smooth. I have tried disabling the power save option - no improvement. I am using the latest drivers from MS (6.31.230.0 dated 26/11/2008) Vista Business SP2.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a new computer with Vista Home Premium x64. I used a dual monitor graphics card in my old computer with Windows XP. Took the card out and install it in my new computer and updated the driver. But, performance is poor. For example I can't use Vista Aero. I would like to buy a new, relatively inexpensive dual monitor graphics card which is compatible with Vista premium x64.

View 5 Replies View Relatedhd(high-definition) video refers to any video system of higher resolution than standard-definition (sd) video, and most commonly involves display resolutions of 1280=d7720 pixels (720p) or 1920=d71080 pixels (1080i/1080p). and, when you want to upload these hd videos on Internet or play them on ipod, you will come across this problem - "i need to convert hd video formats for uploading or portable players, but why the output quality often gets bad after conversion?" this article can help your resolve this issue -convert hd video and not lose the quality.
this hd video converter supports hd video output and all resolution parameter of the hd video in the settings have been changed from 1280*720 to 1920*1080. so, you just need to select the output video format from the hd video column (mp4 for ipod, wmv for uploading, etc.) and adjust the resolution to 1920*1080 and bit rate to 10000 kbps or 8000kbps.(this hd video converter also supports setting resolution parameters manually, so you can type the data by yourself). after parameter adjusting, you can edit the video effect or start to conversion directly.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have recently had strange pixilated images mixed in with our photos when playing music and selecting slide show, our photos appear along with random images, they are not coming from MY PICTURES folder as i have right clicked when the odd pic appears and they are coming from random folders that i can't find.
I thought the strange graphics were coming from itunes or Tom Tom so i have uninstalled them both...but the images keep coming. How do i stop media center looking and producing these annoying images
All the pictures in my Pictures folder have disappeared, leaving behind a bunch of empty folders. I did not delete them, and I have no viruses according to AVG. It appears that this happened to a few others on this forum, but no solutions were presented. I noticed that the Read Only button was checked on the main folder, so I unchecked it, and I watched the status window un-apply "read only" protection from all my actual pictures files, so it seems to me that they're still there but invisible.
I performed a system restore, and Recova is in the process of performing a "Deep Scan" for my pictures (the quicker scan did not find the files). Has anyone solved the problem of the disappearing pictures? Is this a Vista problem, or perhaps a problem with an update?
When I take print screens and put them on paint to save them the quality is rubbish. Is there a *free *program that you can take print screens with that does not decrease the quality?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI prepared my first slide show using Windows Movie Maker. It looked wonderful as I previewed it in Movie Maker. I used my own photos, which I shot in RAW with a Canon 40D, processed in Adobe Camera Raw, and made final adjustments in Photoshop CS4. I converted the files form .PSD to .JPEG, each being about 1.5 megs, though I could have had them be significantly larger.The photos were sharp and the colors were accurate when I viewed the previews in Movie Maker. I then saved the project to a DVD, usingvWindows DVD Maker. The photos lost their sharpness and the colors became muted. Additionally, some of the Movie Maker Effects looked trange. How do I get the .MSWMM quality in a more portable format?
I published the movie as follows: (1) Clicked ?Publish to DVD?, (2) Clicked ?Options?? (3) selected ?Start with DVD menu,? ?16:9,? ?NTSC,? DVD burner speed ?Slow,? ?Next.? I then clicked ?Customize menu? and made some minor changes to the foreground only. When I expanded the dialog box to full screen and clicked ?Preview;? the photo quality was quite good. (4) I clicked ?Burn.? I did not see any options to save at higher quality levels. As noted, the photo quality when I viewed the slide show from the DVD was not good. I am using Vista 64-bit. I have a Dell Studio XPS 435MT desktop with 8 Gigs of RAM, an Intel Core i7 processor, and an ATI RADEON HD4670 512MB graphics card. What can I do to get the same quality that I saw in the .MSWMM previews, but in a format that others can use, like a DVD?
While being satisfied by the cool effects and new interface of Windows Vista Codename Longhorn, many of us testers are what you would call "gamers." The lot of us would like to know if gaming on the default Vista Supplemental drivers would mean loss of graphics quality compared to using up to date drivers on a XP OS. For example, I installed Vista and then installed my trusty game, Battlefield 2. I tried using the new nvidia Vista drivers but the game kept crashing when I start it up. So I reinstalled the Vista Supplemental drivers and it happened to work. Quite interesting. I am able to run the game on default vista drivers and not the nvidia vista drivers. Coming to conclusion, would using the vista drivers result in loss of quality and graphics compared to using up to date drivers on a XP system? Or you can also rephrase it; Would gaming be better on the Vista Beta or XP? Does anyone know if SLI works on Vista?

I then click the balloon, and nothing happens. I know it's not a problem with the CD, since I have other pictures on it, and it's not full.
