here is the problem:
i bought a new pc screen
i have a pc (and a vidfeo card: x1600 with VGA and DVI)
i have an xbox 360
my xbox 360 can only be connected to the VGA on my video card
my screen can be connected to the DVI on my video card
but when i connect my screen to the DVI, nothing happens i have tried a lot but nothing worked
how can i tell my video card to show the DVI input?(dont know if this is needed, i am very confused)
what do i have to do? (maybe a better question than the one above )
Answer #1
The videocard should output DVI automatically when it is connected. It’s possible that the screen is faulty.
Answer #2
If you right click on the desktop you should be able to select the ATI Catalyst control centre.
Select Display Manager and try to set up the secondary display..
Answer #3
do i have to do this while the screen is connected to VGA?
or do i need a second screen on VGA, and the new screen on DVI(because if i configure it now, while the screen is connected to VGA, it would find nothing on DVI)
EDIT:
i just turned off my pc, disconnected all VGA and connected my screen to DVI…nothing happened when i wanted to boot my pc, it just said “no cable connected”
Answer #4
Some screens have to be manually selected for the input line #1 or #2 – have a read of your manual.
Answer #5
i found it i think, my dad wanted to install my screen and he used the wrong cable, it was not DVI that he connected -.-
i told him i can do it myself but no listen eh ^^

Hi to all.
I have lots of movies on usb stick and I want to transfer to TV with only 1 hdmi input.
I am looking for a Female USB to Male HDMI like this (hoping it will transfer the usb movies to hdmi):

I am not sure if it will work, or if these cables exist, but if they do it is worth a try.

Answer #2
That idea won’t work as they are completely different in usage..
You would need a USB socket on your TV to be able to play directly and then the TV becomes a media player.
What you need is either a stand alone media player or a hdmi connection to your computer to be able to stream the video via hdmi.
(uses the TV as a monitor).
Here are some examples of media players..

You can get a HDMI switch quite cheaply so you can switch between TV and monitor without changing settings or constantly plugging/ unplugging the HDMI cable.
Although I would be more inclined to go with a media player as suggested, and probably spend a little more for something with Kodi/XBMC installed or would accept installation.
Answer #4
I have a TV downstairs which has a USB input, so I use that to play moves directly from USB stick. I have a laptop in my bedroom with xbmc/now changed name to kodi, that I have been using to watch movies.
In my children’s room they only have a TV with 1x HDMI input. So I was hoping I could use this cable if it existed and see if I could play movies straight off the USB stick.
Thanks for your replies, wouldn’t it be great if this cable existed, allowing me to play movies without the need for a HDMI player.

that sort of depends on what you’re looking for in a screen capture app. personally, i find PrtSc to be more than adequate.

I don’t exactly now what you mean, but I think this will help you, it’s called XAMPP:
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
Answer #2
Na Im not talking about a website Im talking about what software does a web host use to make everyone a Virtual server with.
Okay you know like a VPS is basicly a server that hosts like 5 or more sites each user has access to only there server on that server.
I think its like VM Ware that they use but VM Ware runns kinda slow on my PC even thou I have 3 GB of ram.
I wanna know what I should use to run my own VPS server like is I wanted people to be able to login thru RDC and all I wanna know what software there using.
Hard for me to explain but if you have ever used a VPS server you will know what im talking about they have to be using something that splits there users from other users within 1 server.

well how would i tell if my dvd drive can burn at 8x?
Answer #5
Verbatim isn’t always a guaranteed good burn.Just because you don’t get a error when the burn is complete doesn’t mean your disk is good.

ok i have another question a decided to post it here, would the writespeed of the dvd matter usally i use ones that have a 2.4x but the last ones i tried were 8x would that matter?
Answer #17
I think you have a better chance of a good burn if you burn it at a low speed like 2.4x,but if your max write is 8x maybe it cant burn at 2.4x.I have dl dvd’s that only burn 6x and 8x speed.
Answer #18

i do usally burn them at 2.4 but the last ones i bought said they had to be burnt at 8x and it didnt work at all would them having to be burnt at 8x have anything to do with it.

the other day i was thinking a lot of my music is named funky. i know with all my movies and my tv shows. i use tvrenamer to rename them. so i thought to myself there has to be a way to rename music files. the only problem i can find anything worth using. my structure is.
Music Folder -Artist
–Album
—Tracks
i want it to stay in that order but to be able to rename the file inside so it say (track #) (Song Title) thats it. and it use the folder structure to figure out what cd it actually is.
if anyone knows any software that works like this it would be amazing. Thanks

Answer #1
Do you have all the relevant drivers up to date as well?
Answer #2
It may need a firmware upgrade, also some require optimization before you will get full performance from them, also check your motherboard that the SSD is installed on the right SATA port for best performance.
Also check in BIOS that it is set to AHCI mode.

Answer #9
Hi,
1st : only use about 75 – 80 % of the raw capacity, that way the SSD will survive longer.
2nd : can the SSD handle SATA III , if so , is it correctly connected to a SATA III Port on your mainboard , or is the port / SSD running SATA I or SATA II ?
2.5 : how many other devices are on the same BUS as the HDD ?
3rd : If you run a HDD benchmark tool , what speed does it come up with ?

Answer #12
not sure what it could then be …. is the os running on the ssd as well or is the ssd “standalone” ?
I’m taking it you are using win 7 , if so, just double check the SSD is set to NTFS as the format , not that for some reason the disk is on FAT32.
Lastly, what is the health i.e. S.M.A.R.T status of the disk, maybe it’s got some defect blocks ?

Am I IP Banned

February 9th, 2020

I have tried the support website, but the security code never appears, so I can leave no message.
My cookies got wiped, I tried to recall my password, and failed three times.
I tried again later, and failed another 3 times.
The site seemed to go offline for about an hour, and since it is back online, I cannot load the site through my browser.
But I can through VPN.
I have since found my password, but cannot load the site at all, and wonder if I have been IP banned.
Please help
Answer #1
Unless I’m mistaken, it’s just because you failed your PW too many times in a short period of time. It’s a failsafe against spambots or something. I had this happen to me once. So if it’s that, you’ll be able to access WBB again in a couple of days…
Answer #2
I hope so, thank you.
Answer #3
No problem, I hope it’s just that, but if it isn’t your best bet would be to PM a mod, maybe an Emod in this instance…

I did contact an Emod, they said got to the support page, which of course does not show correctly in any browser.
