I dont know what my problem is, so i dont know what else to say. bump~ | ||

This seems like something you should create a thread about; it's really not a "simple question". If you want a good answer you are going to need to post a lot of details about the setup, the lan structure (are you behind a router?), the OS, how you've got Hamachi configured, etc. etc. Screenshots of the options/config settings menu might be helpful as well.

If anyone knows how to delete "protected" folders beyond just opening explorer as a network administrator please help! I can't really make heads or tails of your original post. If you were reinstalling Vista, why didn't you just format the hard disk right away? How do you know the folder has duplicate files? How does reinstalling Windows create a 50G folder with duplicate files? I'm guessing that the security options on some of these files are set to allow editing by the system only. You should be able to get around this by making yourself the "owner" of the files and then resetting the security options. But honestly, based on what you've told us I think you should back up your files, and do a complete format and reinstall of the OS. | ||

I read somewhere that over 10 or 15 feet of USB cable starts causing problems with the data transfer, but I'm really bad with this sort of stuff. From Wikipedia: USB 2.0 provides for a maximum cable length of 5 meters for devices running at Hi Speed (480 Mb/s). The primary reason for this limit is the maximum allowed round-trip delay of about 1.5 μs. If USB host commands are unanswered by the USB device within the allowed time, the host considers the command lost. When adding USB device response time, delays from the maximum number of hubs added to the delays from connecting cables, the maximum acceptable delay per cable amounts to 26 ns.[38] The USB 2.0 specification requires cable delay to be less than 5.2 ns per meter (192,000 km/s, which is close to the maximum achievable transmission speed for standard copper wire).[39] So yes, there is a chance you could run into problems. From USB.org FAQ (didn't even this site existed before now...) Q: What about using USB signal repeaters to make a cable longer than 5 meters? A: Don't bother. The best solution is self-powered hub with a fixed 10m cable that had a one-port bus powered hub in the middle. The maximum range will still have to deal with the timeout, so any out of spec tweaking of the terminations between the two hubs and the timing budget still won't yield more than 5cm of extra distance. A better solution is described in the following question. Q: I really need to put a USB device more than 30 meters away from my PC. What should I do? A: Build a USB bridge that acts as a USB device on one side and has a USB host controller at the other end. Use a long-haul signaling protocol like Ethernet or RS-485 in the middle. Using cables or short-haul fiber, you can get ranges upwards of a kilometer, though there's no reason why the long-haul link in the middle of the bridge couldn't be a pair of radio transceivers or satellite modems. Embedded host solutions capable of doing this already exist. Also, two PCs connected via USB Ethernet adapters are essentially a slave/slave version of this master/slave bridge. So, basically, either stop walking around or find another wireless headset that you like. | ||

Can this be used as such? From the reviews it seem bundled with some backup software and by default, it functions as backup only (can't copy and paste or use files from the drive)? If it does, how do I set it up as a normal HD where I can copy/paste/use files from the HD? Thanks in advance for any help. | ||

Looks to me like you are going to be paying a premium for that thing because it comes pre-loaded with all of Hitachi's software. I would suggest that you just buy just a normal external hard drive, you're going to be able to save a lot of money. There are tons of open source and freeware backup programs out there, FreeFileSync on Sourceforge is nice as it has literally no bloat (don't even need to install it, can run it from a single .exe on the mobile device itself). The UI isn't great though. But there are tons of other options, many of which are probably going to be better than Hitachi's stuff. | ||

I have a problem with sc2gears. It wont save my replays! I dont know what is going on, everything seems to be normal, all my folders exist and the diagnose test is ok, anyways, when i finish the game i dont hear the "replay saved" voice and nothing happens, its as if i had nothing installed at all. What can be the problem? | ||

What can be the problem? First run a diagnostic test (Tools menu). That might answer your question. Also is your Sc2gears auto-save folder inside the SC2 auto-folder? If it is, it shouldn't... | ||

What are your folder settings? My guess is that either your SC2 does not save replays in the folder you provided as "SC2 auto-folder", or your auto-save folder might be a subfolder of SC2 auto-folder... | ||

If you are using the front panel connectors you might have connected it incorrectly to the mobo. You should get sound if you have an outlet directly from the mobo though. Maybe check you have all the drivers for the mobo installed. | ||

There are dozens of things that could cause this. I would say driver issue, maybe try installing the latest? But if that isn't it, we are going to need a lot more information than this, you may just want to create a thread. Though if you do, make sure it has information on your motherboard, OS, and all of the things you have tried so far. | ||

I want to replace an old AM2+ cpu, so I'm looking at a G530 ($35 at microcenter) plus H61 mobo and DDR3 ram. My question is, will my old HDD work with the new mobo? Do I have to wipe the old mobo drivers, or what's the procedure for an upgrade like this? It seems most people recommend reinstalling windows, but I would really prefer not to do this as lots of old programs are on the old HDD. *This will be upgrading a Phenom X4 9150e @ 1.8GHz, so I'm expecting a sizable performance jump for ~$100  (I'm running a GT 240, not integrated graphics) | ||

Check the manufacturer website for the supported CPU list, though some other options that are not officially supported may also work. Something like a relatively high-clocked Phenom II X2 would be a huge improvement over a low-speed Phenom X4 and should be pretty comparable to a low-end Sandy Bridge dual core Celeron. An Athlon II X3 would be a little slower in SC2, but a fast Athlon II X3 would be a good alternative in other tasks and may be worth settling for, since Phenom II X2 are pretty rare these days. | ||

Thanks for the response, I was looking into getting a cheap X4 840 back when microcenter had them for like $50, but the problem is that my prebuilt has a generic foxconn mobo with no support or bios updates from gateway, and I didn't want to gamble $50 on something that might not pan out. So, it looks like if I want to upgrade then I'll need to reinstall windows, which isn't that big of a deal now that I've researched the process. Out of curiosity, can you explain why a fresh install is so important when switching mobos? Is it all about drivers? | ||

You don't become the #3 computer mobo manufacturer by putting out all bad products. Some people have issues with their motherboards, but the same could be said for everybody. I'm not sure if there's a higher incidence rate or not. AsRock generally puts out low-priced motherboards relative to the features and capabilities (i.e. good values), but they often give shorter warranties than some competitors.

I think some people have success just putting in AM3 processors though, but I won't guarantee anything. Yes, the issue is about drivers for the various chipsets and controller chips on one motherboard that will not be on another. Usually I think people fresh install way too often, and I would call it a waste of time usually, but this is the main exception. | ||

Thanks for the reply, a friend was saying that you should NEVER buy Asrock because they're bad or something along those lines (btw this is the same friend who thought AMD > Intel. | ||
