Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Muhahahaha....classic one for us tech guys! :D
I had a similar problem a while ago on my main machine and it turned out to be the same thing...an unseated card. :(
Oh well, glad to hear it's all good now. Enjoy MCE :D
Agreed. Try to get the latest MCE drivers from your video card chipset maker. ATI especially has released a new version not long ago that fixes a few bugs.
Cheers
There is 3 zoom mode in MCE... normal 16:9/ 2:1 zoom/ 16:9->4:3 conversion.
You shouldn't have to use the zoom fuction with a proper 16:9 TV or projector. EDIT: It WILL put black bars on the sides of your screen if you watch a 4:3 program.
Hope this helps
if you get a quality cable, the DVI->Component route will give as good a picture as straight DVI, up to 1080i. Try to find someone you can borrow an adapter from to see if it does solve your problem.
Just grab the model number of you TV and head on to AVS Forums
Do a Search with your model number and their is got to be someone there with your TV settings. If not, ask there as you will get a answer from the experts :cool:
For a free front end, look into Media Portal or XLobby
MCE...
If you're running MCE you have two choices really:
if your graphics card is ATI, use PowerDVD 6.
if NVIDIA, use the NVIDIA Decoder :D
Trust me, I've tried about 6 different codecs on 4 different cards (2 ATI, 2 NVIDIA) and that's what I came to conclude.
Cheers :D
You'll only be using the hardware decoder to the full extent if you use MCE + Nvidia DVD Decoder. The MyHD card do not have support in MCE.
The 6600GT is a very good choice if you have a large'ish screen :p
take the batteries out...and short the two top connectors together with a paperclip for about 5 sec. Replace batteries and it should work. I have to do that nearly every fortnight depending on how many times my guests drop the remote :(
