Razer Tarantula, 10-key rollover, and the secret code

Sun, 2009-11-01 17:42 by FD · Forum/category:

I recently got myself a new keyboard, the fairly expensive Razer Tarantula. One of the key features of this keyboard is its so called Anti-Ghosting, which is more precisely described as 10-key rollover over USB. (k-key rollover denotes the ability of keyboards to correctly handle a situation in which k keys are pressed simultaneously, independent of the combination pressed) However, to use it, you need to know the secret code!

Sat, 2009-03-28 14:38 by Wizi · Forum/category:

I bought a Acer 9412WSMi from a family member but that person was blind and has changed every settings from the size of the pictures i've been able to change the size of the minimalization screensize and the close tab located top right corner the normal buttons but don't know how to call these haha. But the problem i'm having is that when i install the new msn messenger the tabs are huge and the pictures from buzzer emoticons and the rest at the bottom of the screen are also very large and not viewable.

DMA problem

Fri, 2008-12-26 22:50 by longhaireddwb · Forum/category:

This might be in the wrong place and I'm sorry. I just don't know about this stuff. I'm a beginner when it comes to the computer and I've been learning so much the last four days and three forums trying to fix this problem.

I can't burn a copy or disc any faster than 0.87X and I'm using Roxio 10. I was told the problem is because of the PIO I can't get to change to DMA on the Primary IDE channel?

Here's a picture:

How to use optical drives on siI0680?

Sun, 2008-11-16 07:25 by spanky119 · Forum/category:

My optical drives went south a few months ago,so I bought a IDE(Raid) 2 port PCI host card intending to use it instead of my secondary IDE channel. I have a Fatal1ty KN8-SLI mobo with 3 gb of ram, 2 sata hdd (200gb &300gb) an 80gb C drive primary IDE master and a 40gb drive as the slave on the same channel. I saw something in another part of this forum about the bending pin syndrome on the ide plugs and I think that might be what happened. At any rate, after installing the controller card, I still have no access to any of my optical drives. Any suggestions?
