Hi, Thanks for the answer first of all... Well this is just an usual home computer and I would just like to play some music/movies using it... It is not supposed to be anything professional... just for home use... The sound card is nothing special... just some Realtek (ALC655) Audio Codec '97 (AC97)... But it has a S/PDIF, digital out and as it has it, it shuld work as it is supposed to... I also tried playing music over Creative sound board, but the playback was the same... The normal, analog audio is playing without any problem... Thanks again, -Andrej

Hello there, I have P4 (800 MHz FSB, 1MB L2), 512MB Dual Channel DDR and QDI P4I865PENovo Motherboard with Onboard ALC655 6 Channel CODEC (20-bit Stereo Codec, S/PDIF header onboard, Support Dolby Digital AC-3 audio). I am runnind Windows XP SP2, I have installed FFDSHOW and AC3 Filter. So I hooked up my SPDIF output to my Yamaha reciever via Coaxial cable. Then I set in my AC97 Audio Configuration SPIF output to "Digital Only". Now I can hear music playing, Yamaha says that the music is comming from digital coaxial input and everything is fine to this point. But the music playback is interrupted (silenced) for a secong or maybe two every three to ten seconds. It looks something like this if I try to draw it - 1 is normal music playback for one second and 0 is one second silence: 11101111011111001101100111101111100111100011 Does anybody know why am I experiencing this? I have tried everything to fix this: - Reinstalled WindowsXP, - Changed audio drivers from first to last version, - Changed Motherboard through warrianty support so I get the same vendor and same sound chip... - I have also disabled sound hardware and tried with Creative SB Value and I get the same results... - I shortened Coax cable to 2 meters... ... and nothing helped. I am running out of ideas and my nerves so please, can somebody help me? Thanks, -Andrej

Hello there... I am buying a new PC and would like to know if Intel Pentium D and Intel Pentium 4 Extreme Edition are supporting feature Windows XP 64 and Windows Vista Operating systems... For now I can run Windows XP on it but since the days of XP64 and Vista are comming I would also like to be able to run it on my new system. Both CPUs are supporting Intel® Extended Memory 64 Technology that "Provides flexibility for future applications that support both 32-bit and 64-bit computing" but I would like to know what this really means... and if Vista and XP64 are really going to run on this CPUs... Thanks, -Andrej

Hello there, I am new to VPN so I have a question: I need to make an VPN connection to VPN server computer which is located in my 'home' network. MS ISA Server computer (gateway) sends VPN requests to VPN Server and everything works fine. I am connected to my 'home' VPN computer and I am able to access its resources (shares, printers, remote desktop, ...) My question is how can I access resources on other computers in this 'home' network - like shares on my working computer? LAN is on 192.160.0.xxx WAN adapter is on 192.168.1.1 VPN assigns IPs from 192.168.5.100-110 The remote computers from where I usually make VPN connections to my VPN computer is usually on 192.168.0.xxx. I tried to change assiging IPs on VPN computer from 192.168.0.100-110, so it sometimes worked when I tried to VPN on it and access my home workstation which is on 192.168.0.5, but since two adapters really cant be on the same subnet I think this is bad idea and I am looking for beter solution. Thanks. Oh and VPN computer is running Windows 2003 Standard as ISA server computer ('gateway') is. Have a nice time,

Hi, Well Device Manager doesnt show any exclamation marks near my CD-RW... But I guess there's some kind of drivers problem... Since CD drivers are integrated in Windows I am not really shure about how to change them. I tried to choose different CD-RW manofacturer, seemed like Windows reinstalled my CD but the problem remained... Windows are showing blank CD in my drive although it is not inserted... Weird... Thanks and good luck, -Andrej

Hi, Does it show an empty disk even if there is no medium inserted? I am having exactly the same problems but i havent been installing any weird application... -Andrej

Hello there, My CD/RW aways claims that it has an empty medium inserted. No matter if there is or is not a disc in. I can boot WindowsXP instalation from this CD/RW - so it is not broken. It 'stopps' working when WindowsXP are loaded. What shuld be the problem? I have deleted CD/RW and apropriate IDE Channel from Device manager, rebooted and the controler and CD/RW were newly discovered but the problem was still the same... What else can I do?

Hello there... What is the difference between - \\domain\sharedfolder and - \\computername\sharedfolder where domain is Windows 2003 server domain and computername is the name of the same computer... When I am trying to access shared folder over \\domain I can't get the access: Quote: --------------------------- Download --------------------------- \\domain\sharedfolder is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. Configuration information could not be read from the domain controller, either because the machine is unavailable, or access has been denied. --------------------------- OK --------------------------- When everything works okay if I try to access the resource over \\computername\sharedfolder Everything is the same if I am logged on to the domain or if I am not... Folder has the following users set to "Full Control": - Administrators - Creator owner - Domain Users - Domain Admins - Everyone - SYSTEM - Users I can see all the shares through \\domain\, I just can't access them... And I wonder why... Thanks, -Andrej

DU Meter maybe? www.dumeter.com -Andrej

Hello there... I have set up a Windows 2003 server and since everything is working really slow on that box I nticed that all Devices (0 and 1) on both IDE Channels (Primary and Secondary) are currently set to PIO Mode. But under Transfer mode I have selected DMA if available. Does anyone know why is Current Transfer Mode always set to PIO mode then? Thanks, have a nice day,

Thanks for your answers... Since I somehow need more power than battery I will buy 2.8Ghz P4 laptop... And ill also buy some wireless pcmcia because it is not built in... Now I somehow understand what Centrino is... cool.. -Andrej

Hello... I am sorry I am asking this question here since it is not Windows related but I don't really know where to ask. I am buying a Notebook, so: What is Intel Pentium-M Centrino? Why are Centrino Pentiums working at much lower frequencies (1.4GHz and so on)? And final: What is better: Intel Pentium-M Centrino 1400Mhz or Intel Pentium IV 2.800Mhz? With 'better' I mostly mean 'faster'. Thanks and have a good day all of you. -Andrej

Hello there! Does anyone know why explorer.exe once or twice (or maybe even more times) a day starts eating up 100% (actually 95%) of my CPU and arround 400MB or my Memory? Usually it happens randomly when I am browsing the net or My Computer... And when it happens the computer respondig times are really high so I need to kill the process and when I run it (explorer.exe) again everything is fine till the next time. So what shuld I do? Thanks and regards,
