Finally Picked Build Parts?
Apr 27, 2012
i am getting the asus motherboard as i like the brand and i know its a reliable board for the price. i know the psu isn't a amazing brand but all the reviews are good. i honestly don't care for a case but its better then using my old one and its a 5 star egg and comes with a fan. the ram im going to install is supposed to be amazing for the price and is customer choice award. and the cpu im going with is a i3 2100 as that is all i need. i mean im upgrading from a pentium 4 should be wayyyy better i also have seen many many Internet videos with the i3 in the board i picked.$307 for pretty much a whole new computer? this is my first build so im going small :p i think its pretty good links: basic case 530w psu 8gb ram asus p8h61 motherboard intel i3 2100 @ 3.1ghz (i have a good dvd drive)(will put in good gpu in about 2-4 months)
(i have hdd and will order windows)overall:i am sticking with the asus motherboard and i3 processor (don't suggest another brand motherboard or cpu please i am settled )

i'm having a problem not with installing soundpools on my system, but with actually getting all of the samples recognised within the library of magix music maker. i know for a fact that it has something to do with it's inability to pick up on long file names that don't have an underscore for spaces on many of them.i did at one point see a video that explained how to use a program called advanced renamer to actually put the underscore in those filenames, without having to trawl through all of them and manually putting_the_underscores_in_cause_it_would_drive_anybody_barmy (the number of times i just hit the bracket key in that alone was almost enough). so i've tried looking through the forums on the ar website, and i looked for any useful 'how to' vid on Internet, but they're all about just clicking on 'adding styles' which isn't what i'm looking for. so i was wondering (as well as hoping and praying), if anyone with the voice of experience (if not expertise), could actually tell me how to do this with advanced renamer, cause i'm afraid logic isn't exactly my strong point.i get filenames in my sound samples from the soundpool in subfolders which are in turn in folders given a name to indicated their 'style' (rock, chillout etc).the filenames might look something like
grand piano a.ogg
grand piano c.ogg
grand piano f sharp.ogg
but they need to look like
grand_piano_a.ogg
grand_piano_f_sharp.ogg
i am using windows 7, and magix music does work on 7, it just refuses to handle long file names like it should. magix has been asked about this numerous times, and nothing has been forthcoming from them, so i really have come here as a last resort to finding out how to get this sorted out.

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bitGraphics Card: AMD Sapphire HD657otherboard: Intel DG33BUI've bought the graphics card recently, and after replacing it my system doesn't recognise there's a graphics card, I've changed the BIOS to PCE-I but it doesn't pick up. I can't install the drivers as the PC doesn't recognise that I have a graphics card in (I'm using integrated graphics). The graphics card itself seems to be working because the fan spins.Tried to update anything, though a program I used did say that my BIOS wasn't updated, though I couldn't find drivers to update it (using Welcome to BIOSAgentPlus) so any thought

I've been having problems with installing a fresh OS because my harddrive. When I began the clean installation process my hard drive started clicking periodically (which didn't happen till I started) I was able to partition around these bad sectors and get the OS installed. I am now sitting at a clean desktop with the computer running fine.However, I know that these bad sectors will cause problems later and I'm wanting to know what I should do now. Is there anything I can do to kill these bad sectors and ensure my hard drive to stay proper? I realize that this shows my hard drive is going bad, but I feel if I can get this taken care of then I can keep the hard drive a while longer.

I just installed a new version of Microsoft Office 2010 and had 2007 before.I installed it in addition to keeping the 2007, which is fine. What I want to figure out how to do, it to get all the folders of 2010 that are scattered around my "start" menu, put them all together under a folder named 2010 and then get that folder under Programs. Right now, some are on the desktop and other places.I don't really want to try messing around with it because I have a tendency to screw things up!

My current system was upgraded to windows 7 32bit from vista 32bit (I bought the windows 7 home premium upgrade disc when it was first released). I am going to build a complete new system. Can I install windows 7 64bit from the same windows 7 disc? Or do I have to buy a new windows 7 disc? Is there a way around buying a whole new disc?

I have recently purchased a Sony VAIO Laptop, running Windows 7 Premium. On my attached screenshot, you will notice parts of the pages are transparent, I can see my desktop and other images which are underneath. Is this normal on Windows 7 or should I return it to the store from which I purchased it?

I am looking to upgrade the following components
* Ram
*Motherboard
*Hard Drive(s)
I would like to keep my AMD cpu as it seems to meet criteria of the games i play, My graphics card is running smooth and does ok for it's self for the time being, But this will be upgraded to a 6870 in time to come. I would also like to stay on the AMD side of hardware.The problem is i don't know what i should look for in a motherboard. Also the same with ram, with boards i've looked at and ram ranging from 1666mhz the MOBO requires OCing. trying to find these parts as my main concern is Battlefield 3, it ran perfect on high but i just wanna give it the extra boost to ultra.

Im breaking my old machine down and since I have to repurchase windows im hoping to get something back for my old copy. I understand the oem version is linked to this 1 pc only and my question is 'what is considered as the pc?'Can I sell just the motherboard with windows or does it require the hdd or even more parts to work again?

I am currently running OS 7 Beta RC Build 7100. Were do I get this newer version, is there a big difference? And am I able to upgrade to the newer Beta?
I realize that October is fast approaching for the RTM but I plan to keep running the Beta for a couple of months past the Grand Opening.
Is it possible that all the updates that I have received equally add up to the newer build?

I have a lot of files (songs) which names are of the following type:
xxxx - yyyy
Where x represents the artist's name and y represents the song's name. Now, I need a way to bulk edit these files so that everything left of the hyphen is removed and later on the hyphen itself so that the filenames only consist of the song's name.Is there a way to bulk do this? I have over 660 songs.

I need help choosing parts for building a Desktop PC! I will use it for gaming, programming, watching HD movies, and I want to watch 3D (if my budget can). My budget is $1,500.I want my processor Intel, and i7 if it is good!These are what I choose for RAM and Storage: [code] I want to add WiFi adapter, and I want the Mobo to have so much PCI slots.I don't mind if the Mobo is so big, because the case I will choose is Full Tower!

I am running 64 bit Windows 7 Professional, with service pack 1 installed. This worked at one time, before I upgraded to Professional and added service pack 1 (or at least I set up the backup one time). I tried to change the time to run the automatic backup in "Control Panel - System and Security - Backup and Restore". The link inside the window named "change settings" didn't do anything. So I turned off the schedule thinking that might let me change the settings. Now neither the "change settings" nor the "turn on schedule" links do anything. Now I have to do the backups manually. I am a firm believer in backing things up to a network drive every night.I run 4 different automatic malware / spyware scans every night and I am usually clean except for a couple of tracking cookies.

I noticed something was wrong when I could not login on Skype when the input boxes did not show up.I noticed the gadgets, which have been installed since installation a year ago, suddenly were hardly visible and are non-functional. The option button is also missing.The machine is a Toshiba laptop, with all update functions active, ie drivers should all be up-to-date. I'm running Windows 7 64 Home Premium SP1.I tried switching off aero, but that did nothing. Changing resolution and graphics settings also did nothing for me.

I've been trying to change the motherboard and cpu in my current computer. After hooking everything up, the computer runs till the windows 7 loading screen, then stalls and restarts. Upon restart I'm brought to the "windows has failed to start" message and attempting to repair through that yields no results. I hooked my old parts back up to make sure the hard drive was still good and it is. With the old parts everything boots normally.
The new parts I'm putting in are;
-AMD fx 6 core 3.3ghz processor
-Asus M5A97 motherboard

Several topics are out there, but I didn't manage to find any solution, so I'll ask againI noticed this because I couldn't connect battlefield bad company 2 to the ea servers (to sign in).now, no need to panic I thought, things like that happen, but it has been going on for a week, so I started to investigate.While trying some EA domains I found that Support Home Page wouldn't load up on my windows 7 64bit (sp1).now this site does load up on my dual-booted linux... as well as on any other pc in my network. In fact, I even tried my mobile network on windows 7 but it simply wont load!So I went trough this list of things I tried out:Removing ESET internet security (nod32) using the special uninstall tool Turning off windows firewall Resetting windows firewall to defaults flushing dns cache reset host file renew LAN connection reset tcp/ip stack microsoft fix it firewall repair tool Several network solution finders in windows Direct connection to my modem Restore windows to earliest point I could find now I dunno... but that seems to sum up all possible fixes I'm aware of.(just a month old), and apart from this thing it runs fine.
Windows tool: "Source (customersupport.ea.com) is online, but doesn't respond to connection attempts".Well windows is right about that...I can resolve (nslookup) the address from cmd, I can even ping it successfully!For now I installed a squid proxy server on my linux router to connect to every website, but that still doesn't fix my game.More-over, WHAT could this be? because I'm completely in the dark here

I rebuilt my computer with a new MOBO, CPU and RAM. I kept my old HDD with all files and the OS (Windows 7 Home Prem 64 bit). When I fired up the new system, it would not load Windows 7 (although the logo would start). It now tries to repair itself with no success. Does this mean that I need to rebuy Windows 7? If so which package (upgrade)?

My company bought about 15 pieces of desktop pc from dell.I created an Windows 7 image using Dell pre-installed Win7.I have used this image to clone 14 pieces of the dektops and there was no issue.However, the last one I encountered "Windows 7 Build 7601 This copy of Windows is not genuine" when I powered on the machine. I don't even have any chance to login to windows to activate it by using its OEM Product Key. Please the screenshot as attached.

I try to boot the new pc, the fans just starts and go off. Like the whole computer turns on then off, happens in like 1 sec. The motherboard is P8 Z68-V Pro.

However, the time has come to undertake some upgrades to bring the rest of the system up to speed with my SSD and as such I have ordered a new motherboard, CPU, RAM and graphics card.The SDD (a OCZ Vertex 2) with my OS already installed on it (Win 7 x64) will be joining these new parts but I would be grateful for some advice on what the best way is to migrate this drive over to the new machine? I've only ever dealt with new blank drives and fresh installs.Is it at all possible to transfer the SSD over without needing to reinstall the OS - being mindful of trying to limit the amount of writes I make to the SSD.Obviously the first thing that comes to mind is that there might be issues with drivers, configurations, etc. for other components in my existing machine, any way to remove all these and reset the OS to scratch? Or am I best formatting the drive (SSD wipe tool thing?) and reinstalling the OS from scratch? If so should I format the SSD inside my current machine or can I do it afterwards, once installed inside my new machine?
