QUOTE(giggsyy @ May 20 2007, 11:42 PM) I have a very old webcam from CREATIVE...and it doesnt work with VISTA...i put the installation CD into my inspiron 6400 and it does autoplay..but i cant click anything..there should be drivers there for me to install...and since its so old..driver support has been discontinued...i want to use it with my new lappie..is there anyway i can install the drivers into VISTA so that i can use this webcam?  It is virtually impossible unless creative comes out with the driver. |

QUOTE(lclun @ May 22 2007, 02:21 AM) Anyone has a good suggestion on buying webcam? Budget is below 200, Thanks. You can go for Logitech Quickcam for Notebook RM169 or Logitech Quickcam Deluxe for Notebooks RM180 I got my cheap 1.3MP webcam for RM60 and it works like a charm. It comes with various filters and effects, LED lights and mic.   This post has been edited by calvin_gsc: May 22 2007, 06:10 AM |

The video quality is superb cause it's usb2.0 and also 1.3MP webcam.

QUOTE(moto-moto @ May 23 2007, 06:31 PM) how to format vista?i tried to boot from cdrom but then it is like installing vista again..not like last time xp that shows delete c: then crate new volume and so on.... It's like that if not mistaken. At one stage you get to choose create partition, format partition and also delete partition. Look at this http://vistahomepremium.windowsreinstall.c...ewhdd/part2.htm |

QUOTE(Andrewhajime @ May 31 2007, 11:35 PM) vista is smart enough do differentiate between thumbdrive some thumbdrive require to safely remove some doesnt need to so when you dont see it , you can just plug it out Are you saying this based on your own opinion or actual fact about vista? Can post some links? So far I have never encountered the situation as you mention above. From thumbdrives to CF cards, to SD cards. This post has been edited by calvin_gsc: May 31 2007, 11:43 PM |

QUOTE(giggsyy @ Jun 1 2007, 09:23 PM) Oh..so meaning when i buy the external casing, will they include the adaptor in it? or do i have to purchase it seperately? so meaning one USB in the lappie and one more to the socket on the wall?(for power)? I am also using one those 3.5" Usb hdd casing. And yes, one for usb and also one power adapter. Both are included. So, make sure that you check before buying. Normally the shops would ask you to test first. |

QUOTE(giggsyy @ Jun 2 2007, 03:01 PM) Which casings for 3.5 inch notebook do u recommend? I think i'll get a 3.5" one...basically need one to store all my info...movies and etc.. Actually there is a wide range of casings to choose from. It all depends on the design you like and also it's compatibility with your hardisk that your purchase. It's best that you get casings from reputable brands such as from Vizo http://vizo.com.tw/index.php?main_page=vizo_product&cPath=1 and Vantec. There are casing for just IDE or just SATA or both IDE and SATA. Some connects via USB2.0 some Firewire and some with both. It's always best to get both items from the same shop and try it out when your purchase. You won't want to buy from 2 separate places just because it's cheaper and end up not being able to use it. So, i guess at the end of the day, it all depends on what you need and whether the budget suits you. |

Cooler master has a few models of laptop coolers..I suggest that u get the Zalman laptop cooler...it really cools down my lappie and its perfect for the Inspiron 6400...since it is has a flat surface to support your laptop....I haven really tried or seen the cooler master ones but I heard it can scratch ur lappie based on the design....overall im really satisfied with my Zalman cooler..its quiet and does its job well...which is cooling my lappie! highly recommended  But the zalman cooler is very big right? And kinda heavy too. how much did ya get it for? |
