need help with ATI TV Wonder USB 2.0

bombernbr5
I've got the thing and it worked wonderfully for a couple of months until one day when it just stopped. now, all it does is show a blank, silent screen in the video window. the only problem that the pc check detects is that DMA for DVD playback is unavailable.

Maxtor 3000LS suddenly not accessible on Windows XP

Bunyipflip
Hi. New here, and I've got a problem all the same. Two years ago, I got a 40 GB Maxtor 3000LS external HDD. Worked like a charm. I stored all my music and picture files on there without a hitch. Fast forward to this past month, I move the computer home with me on a college break and the external is working fine.

Soundblaster Live! and Logitech Z-640 5.1 speaker system.

gilgamesh
I have a question about this combination. The Soundblaster Live! that I have is a 5. 1 channel card. However nothing comes out of the center channel when everything is hooked up correctly. I have to use the Matrix emulation mode to get sound of the center speaker.

Geforce 5200 Ultra, Transparency Issues

akdarksoul
Okay. I have had this problem for quite some time, and have yet to find a solution. The GeForce FX 5200 can handle most of my needs just fine, with decent fps. However, when I encounter certain effects (usually smoke) the FPS drops drastically.
