They are using that old OS because that is what their equipment can run on. We have a computerized saw that runs on a Win98 SE PC and a CNC plasma table that runs on a WinXP PC because newer versions are not compatible with our older automation equipment. We don't have those machines...

We went with this https://sewelldirect.com/superusbextender because they said the same thing silentbogo said about usb being backwards compatible. For $25 it was the cheapest option so my boss said if it doesn't work it didn't cost us much and we could then look at the more expensive options...

This is the DVR http://easterncctv.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=78 I don't think a KVM is going to help. My only connection to the DVR is a USB 3.0 port so either the KVM is in the same location as the DVR and I need a long run for the mouse or the KVM is at the other...

That is what makes sense to me and that is what the one manufacturer told me. However both monoprice and the amazon reviews of the monoprice unit said that it will not work plugged into a USB 3.0 port even if the connected device did not require USB 3.0. I haven't tried anything yet because I...

We just installed a security system at work and need a way to extend a mouse from the DVR to an office where we can view the feeds on a TV. We are far enough that a standard wireless or blue tooth mouse won't work. I found this http://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=6042 but according to amazon...

I don't know if it will fit or not. That will depend on your case. I had mine installed in a Cooler Master HAF 932 and had plenty of room but that is a big full tower case. I tried to install the GTS while reviewing a BitFenix Comrade and the GTS was too tall (the 212 Evo was too tall for...

I had a V8 and later the V8 GTS and they were no harder to work around than any other large CPU cooler. As far as the GTS vs standard V8 the GTS looks cooler in my opinion but even though its a bit larger it doesn't really perform any better.

Make sure the monitor speakers are not muted and that the volume is not turned way down.

See what? My internet router or the directv router? I know very little about networking and have never heard of/used InSSIDer/Amped analytics. Just as a note the Genie server is the only thing to connect to my internet router and that only for internet access (Pay Per View, and ondemand are...

For a couple weeks now I have been having devices lose internet/network connection. It occurs with both wireless devices and the desktop that is wired. Restarting the router fixes the problem. The router is a Linksys WRT300n and there are a number of devices that connect via wireless (a...

I recently got an Asus PB287 display. When I first started using it I had no problems. I was gone for about 5 days and now when I start Wildstar it loads the log in screen but I can't use my mouse. One time it didn't get the log in screen at 4k and it worked. It seems like the screen is...

My favorite Beer's Law simply because of all the fun you can have with the name. http://www.chem.ucla.edu/~gchemlab/colorimetric_web.htm

I first used Steam because my ati radeon 9800xt came with Half Life 2 and required Steam. You are correct at the time Steam was horrible. It was many years later before I actually started to use it because of my experience with it in its early form.

I saw a news post somewhere about the initializing issues on pc. There is either a work around or a fix available. I don't remember where I read it so you might have to google a bit to find it.

Thanks for the help everyone. It worked to manually download and install the updates that were failing.
