Anyone else had SP1 mess up their USB2 drivers, and kick everything down to usb1.1? Noticed a copy to a flash stick was a bit slow, and it turns out there's some sort of known issue with a mislabelled driver, or something. Fixed by deleting the USB controllers from device manager to force driver installation again, swearing and un/re plugging my (USB) keyboard/mouse, so they're recognised.

JAY ZERO SUM GAME posted:What is a good Windows program that will burn a bunch of .VOB files to a DVD so that an old man can just put the disc in a DVD player and it works? Doesn't even have to have menus, just play the .VOB files (maybe three or four per disc). You should just be able to shove the .vobs (as long as they fit) into appropriately named folders on the disc, and burn it. Guide for doing that with cdburnerxp here. If that doesn't work, you might have to mess around with something like DVD Flick or Avi2DVD.

Mak0rz posted:This is very, very close to being exactly what I need. MPC struggles (and sometimes crashes) to step frames back. Any idea how I can increase performance for that? Why would VirtualDub be any more efficient at this? MPC also can't seem to report times any more accurately than whole seconds. VirtualDub goes down to 0.001 seconds in its times. It might be worth having a chat with the folks over at doom9 about the timing thing, there's a dev thread for MPC over there.

dox posted:good question. whats the best way to run an OS off the stick? or do you all just put portable apps on them? gonna be on the go a lot for the remainder of the year so would be useful to have a nicely setup flash drive to attach to my wallet/keychain Ah, now that one I can do. I've used the Universal USB Installer to install the contents of the Ophcrack liveCD onto the stick. I've added the XP rainbow tables, too. Adding portable apps and the like to the stick shouldn't affect it having an os on it at all, and as long as you don't click the 'format' option, you can install on a stick that's got stuff on it without issue, too.

Srebrenica Surprise posted:Is there any way to increase the amount of memory used for caching in SuperFetch? I've found myself with 12GB of RAM and Windows is only caching about 2GB, which is leaving me with something like 6-7GB free at any given time. http://news.softpedia.com/news/SuperFetch-Enhanced-Prefetch-64346.shtml If superfetch is only using 2 gigs, then that's all your usage patterns need.

I know there's various joke programs for changing the way that the mouse behaves (greasymouse etc), and windows can change the length of time allowed, but is there anything to change how forgiving the mouse is for double-clicking in terms of movement? I teach basic IT skills, and about half of my students are retirees with sundry strength/flexibility issues in their wrists/fingers, and they can't immobilise a mouse while clicking with the palm/heel of the hand/other fingers like a younger person can, and it would make things significantly easier for them if there was a way to make double-click function within a given radius. There does appear to be a tiny bit of give (~5 pixels, perhaps), but if it could be bumped up to about 10/15 pixels or so... Kerbtree fucked around with this message at 14:25 on Dec 16, 2011 |

Galler posted:I've never found a reason to use the Catalyst Control Center or Nvidia's version. I just install the base driver. The video driver is also the only thing that ever comes up and it's usually only once every couple months so I just roll the dice and let it do its thing. Wait till you want to force VSync/AA on/off in an application that doesn't give you the options.

I need to have them end up in a JPG format, so VLC > PNG > JPG seems to be the best option. Thanks for the suggestions, folks. Is it possible one of the players you're using/your gfx drivers are doing 16-255 -> 0-255 conversion? There's a shader for it in MPC.

Pilsner posted:While you're correct, it's also such a huge PITA that I run with UAC completely off. I run a lot of programs and edit files that are in "illegal" locations, and I simply don't want to deal with that prompt and having to re-save and copy every time. Another big annoyance is also that if you set a program to startup with Windows, and it's not "properly" installed according to Windows specs (for example, has its configuration file in a .ini file in the program directory), the program simply doesn't start; no warning nor prompt. Set up admin-notepad as a context-menu item. Also, please do remember: WoW accounts are more valuable than credit cards to bad people.

I think I've hit my first Windows 10 glitch. I've got two monitors and the taskbar on the secondary display won't auto-hide. ed: un-hiding the search button sorted it.  ed2: on re-booting it reappears, but tapping search restores proper behaviour.

Ghostlight posted:You'll have two Windows 10 computers, not two Windows 10 keys. I'm really hoping that come August, we get a formal, purchasable Win 10 upgrade. If the 'digital entitlement' knocks out the transferrability of my retail 8.1, that's lovely. I'll happily pay to do so, but a full retail purchase of 10 to get a transferrable key would leave me with 2 full licences on my hands.

I mean I love how iTunes organizes, saves where you left off, syncs, sets up new episodes, lets you know unlistened to etc. but I'd rather use something else that does all that and only that instead of the entire iTunes package that comes with it. Pocket casts is on all major platforms and has a web player so you don't unsync.

SO, for reasons, Google have decided that Photos won't show up as part of Drive any more. Any reccommendations/workarounds for a way to get copies of anything on Photos pulled down to my PC automatically? Google's Backup and Sync was perfect in just quietly putting a copy of anything I took into a folder for me, but apparantly some people were confused.

Is there any batch process out there to size-optimise a bunch of word files? For reasons my girlfriend's managed to generate a whole pile word docs that are all well over a gig and it looks like they're stuffed full of uncompressed images. They're fixable individually, but being able to feed the whole lot to the 3700x overnight and just be done with it would be nice.
