  1. Hey guys. So I've been trying to update my Command Center so that I can change the colors of my lighting scheme. I had Command Center installed when I first got my computer and it worked fine. When i tried to update command center to (I think) A05 I got a fatal error upon opening only the FX portion of command center. I figured it was just a bad update and waited a while for the next one. So now I'm left with the same error and I'm not sure what to do or what could be causing it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  2. Nope, it's on a laptop. I had the same problem back when I was on Vista also.
  3. Hey guys I'm having some trouble with my Alienware m15x laptop. When I connect it to my 26" Samsung HDTV, everything works fine, unless I type above a certain speed. It doesn't lag at all, but when I try to type at my normal speed, it ignores a lot of keystrokes. It only does this when I use the TV as the only display, and it works fine if I duplicate between the two. Any ideas?
  4. Oh, that's a little disconcerting, but thanks for the info, Pete!
  5. Hey guys, so I recently started having trouble with my AIM. It disconnects me randomly. I used to get the problem a couple years ago, but it was my entire internet connection and was a problem with the router we had. It's not a general internet problem this time though, because when it disconnects, my regular internet connection is completely fine. Everyone I've talked to says they can't see when I disconnect and they don't disconnect either. I tried reinstalling several times, to several different versions, and the only thing they had in common was that I used the AIM Ad Hack version, but I'v
  6. Whenever I try to send a picture to anyone, even HP Snapfish I get this error. I also get it when others send me a picture and I try to retrieve it. Google couldn't help me, any ideas?
  7. Seems like she's been slowing down lately, when I'm saving files or going through the start menu it lags before it brings up the side menu with a drive churn. Also my games have been lagging more than they ever have and programs are slower also, do I just need more RAM?

  12. This is what I have looked at: Graphics Card Sound Card Power Supply RAM Any suggestions?
  13. I kinda expected something like that. Is there a difference between 1stick of 1GB or 2sticks of 512MB? And also I have no idea what specs to look at on a video card.
  14. Well I'm pretty lenitent but no more than $180. I don't need all that much power anyway so I think that should be plenty. As far as ram goes, should I spend a bit more and just replace the 512's and up everything to 4GB? or is that overkill? Maybe 2GB is enough...
  15. I think I can solve both problems by getting a stick of ram and a video card Now, how do I choose a video card? I don't need one of those brick-sized beasts that are $500. I just need to choose a decent card to keep this thing alive lol.
