Opps, sorry, but I haven't been keeping the list updated on this problem: I've found more video files, besided those generated by Tubehunter, that cause the same 'too fast' playback in Nero Showtime. Contacting Ahead took a solid week to go through their typical auto-responses, half of which

[H] Video Card Problems: Just Going Bad?

2008-02-06 Thread Richard Kim
I think my video card might be going bad, but I don't know as I've never experienced this before. I have an AMD 64X2 3Ghz with Corsair 2GB RAM (RAM was tested and is good). I've run PRIME on both cores for hours with no overheating issues. The video card is an EVGA 7900GS 256MB and the Nvidia

I'm also thinking it could be video ram as well. Also, if you play games does it have a lot of tears in the graphics? If so, it is definitely the video card. Regards and good luck, Tim The Beave Lider E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: [EMAIL

I've been using TrueCrypt for a while to do encrypted data partitions and this is very welcome news. Free, open source, very strong encryption for Windows, Linux, and OSX: http://www.truecrypt.org

Thanks for all the replies. My 939 chip was also a dual core, so I had all the patches and stuff applied prior to the upgrade. Everyone's comments are leading to what I was thinking. I guess I will go look for a new video card. Maybe a 8800GT? They are around $200 now. I will try and underclock

Now that's cool news! Truecrypt is good stuff. I have yet to see data recovery program to salvage encrypted partitions (assuming you had the cipher). Doesn't make me real comfortable if a single bad sector would leave my data inaccessible. Brian Weeden wrote: I've been using TrueCrypt for a

Hard disk maintenance tools like Spin Rite will work just fine but you're right, data recovery would be a pain. Another reason to always backup your data. On Feb 6, 2008 6:47 PM, j maccraw [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Likely no more than EFS does but would depend on the type of encryption used.

IMHO if you care enough about your data to use whole disk encryption, you care enough about your data to setup an encrypted backup, such as ssh secured dirvish, or Bacula over local network, or even over a vpn. Even a laptop can be backed up well while on net using Bacula. We have several
