And now with LED light source DLP beats out plasmas for size and action
picture quality, and I saw a blue ray DVD of the fifth element side by side
with a plasma (vizio 50) and a mitsu 57 dlp and went with the dlp.

Don't really know what your parameters are, but this is the absolute 
best bang for the buck:

It won't hang on a wall, though. There is a 61-inch version too.

Yeah I read that.

DLP's were almost dead, down to 2-3 manufacturers out there this last  
year and now with the LED backlights might be coming back to compete  
as well.  :)

[H] Windows 7 ?

2009-03-14 Thread FORC5
Did a clean install of Windows 7 to play

dumb question ( maybe)
Installed on a new wd 500gb drive but when I look in management it shows two 
partitons
0 = 200mb ntfs Healthy active ( not formated or anything
1= 467 mb C: 

what the heck is the 200 mb thing ?

also someone said no classic look, found it but is NOT the same. Basically I 
thing grayed out with all the fancy stuff remove.

so far
Eudora works
FF and TB works
Open Office works
Using Kaspersky internet security trial ( did not want to put mine in and AVF 
free did not work ) this is going to be a trial play only.

FWIW

Not sure I like it or not (yet)

I really don't care if they come back or not.as long as my lovely 
67-inch LED DLP keeps working 'til it dies...for the price I 
paid...others can pay the premium price for competing tech.

[H] Properly removing Soundblaster Card and drivers

2009-03-14 Thread Veech
I'll be replacing my SoundBlaster X-Fi Fatal1ty card with an Emu audio card. 
They are both Creative products and I'm a little nervous that if I don't 
fully remove the SB card and all associated drivers that I may have 
conflicts when I install the Emu.  Is there a good step-by-step guide for 
this process?  I'm using XP Pro Media Center.


thanks!

Like an industrial strength scouring pad! Just follow the instructions 
when you want to uninstall and max the settings. It will go through the 
Window's Registry with a fine toothed comb. Cheers!

Re: [H] Windows 7 ?

2009-03-14 Thread Greg Sevart
It's the reserved partition for use of Bitlocker if you ever decide to
implement it. In RC and RTM, that partition will only be 100MB, and will be
marked System Reserved.

When you enabled Bit Locker on Vista, it had to create the partition...Win7
just creates it from initial install, since it is only 100MB.
