    Wireless headset for presenters

    Sorry my explanation wasn't very good tbh - was rushed of my feet all day without food. I shouldn't have mentioned echo cancellation (got that on my brain atm :p) What I should have said is the main problem you'll find is that a bluetooth headset is also more 'sensitive' as it picks up much...

    Wireless headset for presenters

    If it has sufficient power then yes you could do it this way but I would not recommend it. A sound card has very limited capabilities when it comes to processing because you need to have some kind of echo cancellation or you will have to turn your speakers down which of course defeats the...

    Jade Goody - Doing good or a moneygrabber?

    I do feel sorry for anyone dying of a disease whist still young and I have sympathy for her family and kids however there are many other people out there not as fortunate. Now correct me if I'm wrong but she already pretty well off certainly more than an average person and I'm sure her kids...

    Yes it is 100% free, it's the pro version that costs and has a 30day trail, they do try to get you to download the pro version but that link is direct to the free version ;) If you don't want to sign up or to be sure it's the free version use these alternative links clicky, clicky.

    Broadcom server adapter

    Erm not quite it's bit difficult to explain but it all depends on topography: Server (1000mbps) > router (1000mbps) > client machine 1 (1000mdps) = 1000mbps connection Server (1000mbps) > router (100mbps) > client machine 2 (10mbps) = 10mbps Server (1000mbps) > router (10mbps) > client...

    Broadcom server adapter

    Yep basically it would be connected to a router or hub and if all the NIC's (network interface cards) on the network, including the clients (PC's), support up to 1000meg than that's the maximum data rate you can theoretically get on each PC, if one of the components say the PC's NIC only...

    Broadcom server adapter

    I trust you mean one of these. The speed is not really determined by the number of users it's more to do with bandwidth used (amount of data) and what type of infrastructure it's connected to. It supports 10/100/1000 Mbps so it can pass up to 1000 meg of data per second, it (on it's own)...

    Outlook Question

    You could probably change it through the auto correct options, you haven't said which version but iirc it's in tools > options > spelling > auto correct and remove the entry in the list. I can check this for you as I haven't got Outlook at home, I can check at work tomorrow if you that doesn't...

    New monitor

    Ah well now according to the specs it supports: Which is a little odd because for example my Samsung 226BW's native resolution is 1680x1050 (widescreen) so according to your graphics card is doesn't support that only 1920x1080 in widescreen. Now I'm not saying you have to upgrade your...

    New monitor

    That's always a good idea but I've got a tip for you that some people overlook - this also applies when buying a new TV - sorry if you plan to do this but I think it's worth mentioning. They very rarely setup the screens correctly, they often have the brightness and contrast set way to high to...

    New monitor

    First off I do rate NEC monitors highly, we buy the pro versions at work but I do think, especially the consumer versions, they are very expensive (very good but very expensive). IMO Samsung are making some of the best screens out there, I have a 226BW at home and it's fantastic. We recently...

    Aside from Access/Excel etc are you into electronic technology

    Total geek and proud of it :p Been into computers from a very young age been building my own since I was about 18 (when PC components were kind of affordable - 4meg of RAM was £125 back then). Used an abused every version of Windows since DOS (including 7 do some beta testing), I use PC for...

    This device cannot start (code 10)

    I have to say I have never come across any IRQ conflicts with the later versions of Windows especially from 98 onwards though faulty hardware could I suppose cause a problem. Did you try resetting the BIOS by removing the battery ? It will detect your hardware again and you might not need to...

    Windows 7 public beta available tomorrow

    Got it and installed it on Saturday (after the stalled launch) and first impressions are pretty damn good. Install took about 25 mins (I did have BSOD during setup which probably delayed things) still a bit annoyed that even when I selected my location as UK it did not default to that time zone...

    Windows 7 public beta available tomorrow

    UPDATE: clicky Key points: No idea of when that time will be You'll need to get in quick Boo hiss but hang on a sec..... Ah so you can install a standalone version - thank God for that ! Don't do an upgrade from Vista to a beta product ! No surprise there.

    Windows 7 public beta available tomorrow

    In case anyone is interested Windows 7 should be available from here from tomorrow. I've have an slightly earlier version and it look very very promising, very quick, very clean (works great for an early beta) a kind of striped down lean Vista with some nice new features, this could be the best...

    Is this a sign of dyslexia coming my way

    Yep your screwed :D Seriously as per baldy I do it as well - I also often add the first letter of the next word onto the word I'm typing, I like to think (hope) my brain is running very fast :p I work with a guy who is dyslexic and that exactly what happens with him. On a related note I've...

    This device cannot start (code 10)

    I found this, it seems to fit your problem but it's related to ME and 98 :( . You've said the card works in other PC's so we can rule that out and that a USB doesn't so it does point to a hardware problem as you've mentioned and is my first instinct as well or it still could be an O/S problem...
