[quote]I had to laugh reading his bit on tort reform, too. I guess he felt like that would be his version of 'compromise' - but what he really said was, "That's a bunch of bullshit - I'll pretend I'm willing to put some guys to work twiddling thumbs for awhile on the off chance you'll think I'm reasonable, but there's no effin way that's gonna happen."[/quote] Yeah, and it made me nauseous when McCain stood up with his rediculous "my friend" grin to aknowledge Oliars fake bipartisansh

He wasn't "eloquent" or "sincere" He was a defiant, hyper partisan finger pointer. Besides facing bankruptcy, this nation is experiencing record home foreclosures and unemployment. We can hardly afford to nationalize the health care system. Obama is slashing benefits for the elderly and thats undeniable. For the next 2 years there will be no cost of living adjustment for the elderly, and if Obamaacare goes into effect billions more will be slashed from Medicare. Of course there will be

From all indications, anything that won't be printed or borrowed from China will be slashed from Medicare. Its tough to pin down the exact figure, but its in the billions.... and then we get lectuured on "morality"

lol, just kidding around. Pull the plug on Nero, especially if its a pirated version. Most pirated software contains lots of other goodies, such as keyloggers and dangerous backdoor exploit that can often cause system instability. I have Roxio but i never even use it cause I favor a free app called Infrarecorder. http://infrarecorder.org/?page_id=5 Infra recorder and Audacity will do anything Nero does and it will do it for free. To top it all off, it has a much smaller footpr

Reply to Graphics card - Snap crackle in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

I ran a fresh install of Win 7 with those 186.18 and R230 drivers and so far so good. If theres any popping or crackling I have yet to hear it. Ive listened to lots of different stuff... Smashing Pumpkins, the Eagles, Dire Straits, Squeeze, REM, Annie Lennox, and even Franz Schubert, and no noises. The more I listen, the more I'd have to say this computer has never sounded better. It must have been that 190.62 driver causing all the rukus after all. That R230 driver really boosted the sound q

Reply to Graphics card - Snap crackle in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

ok I got in there... it was just a little bit of confusion. I'm thinking I should probably freshly install Win 7 after all this in and out driver business. Win 7 is able to take a pretty good beating but it would probably be better if I started from a fresh install with all the right drivers.

Reply to Graphics card - Snap crackle in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

LOL... sorry about the missing info yrag, :) I put in a 500 watt PSU before the card. Its a Dell Compatible PC Power and Cooling "Silencer" and it went in without any problems. It was working great for like a week and I didnt notice any sound glitches until I put in the 9800GT. The original 300w PSU from China didnt even have a pcie connector for the 9800GT... so it would have been more than just a power issue. I looked at that link you left me for the realtek drivers and i couldnt get

Reply to Graphics card - Snap crackle in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

Drat, its a very subtle case, but its still there. Every once and a while, the sound will stutter. I ordered a dedicated sound card from newegg and when it comes on Teusday I will disable the built-in sound and try it in both PCI slots. if that doesnt clear it up I will try a BIOS upgrade. I'm not seeing any conflicts in the IRQ but I'm not an expert in it. This is what it looks like in the device manager. <img src="http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z172/tony762x39/IRQ.jpg" border=

Alright, :) I rolled back the Nvidia driver to the older 186.18 version as suggested and then I managed to find a working Realtek driver for my onboard ALC888 HD Audio. http://www.esoft.web.id/drivers/realtek-high-definition-audio-driver-2-20-now-compatible-windows-7.html It took a little voodoo to find and install the Realtek driver, but its in now and i have 5.1 sound. It's definitley a whole lot better sounding, but i'm not sure if the pop is totally gone. If it isn't its d

Reply to Graphics card - Snap crackle in Personal Computing JoeUser Forums

motherboard is a FoxConn, G33M (I think). The chipset is Intel G33 Express "Bearlake" (ICH9). That came stock with this Dell Vostro 200 Mini Tower. I never did install the Realtek audio drivers in this install, but I thought those were optional, and only if you wanted 5.1 sound. The last time I tried installing the 32-bit Realtek driver in Win 7 64-bit it didnt work out so well.

Reply to Graphics card - Snap crackle in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

Yrag, thanks for the suggestion... it sounded promising, but no luck, still crackling and popping. I'm using the boards integrated sound and it doesnt start acting up until I install the NVIDIA Driver, so I'm not sure. I was thinking of trying a dedicated soundcard.

I just installed an EVGA 9800GT and its giving me some snap, crackle, pop on the sound. Its not an extreme case, but its definitely there, and its definitely because of the card. Its also annoying. :) When I tested the problem on a fresh install of Win 7 64-Bit, the video card driver wasn't listed in Windows upgrade like it was with my old card, so I went and downloaded it from the NVidia website cause I wanted to get the latest one. Right after the install, the pop and crackling beg

Reply to What's the point about debating Heathcare Reform? in Politics JoeUser Forums

Its amazing how the far left Polosi/Obama/Dean/ Democrats are trying to portray the Republicans as the ones who are standing in the way of Government run health care. Republicans have been rendered totally insignificant from losses in 06 and 08 and cant do a damn thing to stop it. The Democrats can pass anything they want without a single Republican vote and yet they are still blaming the GOP for all their problems.
