Thanks, was interested in the more expensive version of that which had speakers or something which I really don't need. Didn't spot this one! I think I'll go with this.

Thanks for posting a UK link, too.

Yeah the only shit I see the 30T has on it is easily switching display modes and speakers. It seems to have some complaints about color calibration that the 11Z does not though.

[Pretender]

Not sure if this is the right thread, but since it's a technical issue I guess it fits here? I cannot post images on 4chan at all, I can post, but every time I post an image it times out (I'm not banned). Happens in both of my browsers and only on this computer. It works on other devices. Because of this, it must not be a network error. Any idea?

Shitty question but does anyone know how to "repair" a scratched CD? I'm trying to get Midtown Madness 3 to work on the first Xbox.

I'm not even sure this is the place to ask

I once used Lemon Pledge to get Halo 2 working. Not sure what the equivalent in Italy would be though.

It's out there, downloaded one a few weeks back. It's harder to find now that the digitalriver links are down. Just search a bit harder, you'll fine 'em.

i think technically it's illegal until you actually own the key

reasonable cops wouldn't care, however, so neither would we

I don't think it's illegal to have an unactivated copy, just bypassing activation. It's technically a 30 day trial per MS terminology iirc.

i always forget 30 day trials are a thing, especially since nobody really does them anymore

alright well i found an iso but now for 6 or 7 hours ive been fighting with this stupid fucking error that keeps telling me im missing cd/dvd drivers and wont let me install anything. i tried the usb port switching trick and that did nothing and im using a usb 2.0 port. the hell do i do next?

[🅱️🅰️LLS. ➿]

I'm having a lot of trouble updating my girlfriends laptop from win 8 to win 10. She was on win 10 before but it got messed up by a virus which was impossible to remove so I recovered the laptop to factory settings. This brought it back to win 8 (not even 8.1) and so I want to update it back to win 10. Anyone know how to do this?

I actually installed a mega update on it today thinking it was the win 8.1 update, however nothing changed. If I view updates in settings it says there is an update ready for installation and asks to be restarted, however whenever I restart nothing happens and the message is still there.

So im trying to extend a partition in disk management

[t]http://i.imgur.com/pVfGBK1.png[/t]

but everytime i try to do that i get this

[t]http://i.imgur.com/vkDnt33.png[/t]

so how do i extend it without making the drive dynamic? I used to have win 10 on that drive but I have now moved to an SSD.
and is it ok to delete the system reserved partition and the recovery partition, since my os is on a different drive?

[Demache]

System reserved is absolutely needed as that is what contains your boot files. Recovery is just the WinPE environment that boots if Windows fails to start. I believe it is safe to remove that as long as your aware that you will need a Windows Repair or Install CD if your Windows install becomes unbootable.

[QUOTE=Demache;49484523]System reserved is absolutely needed as that is what contains your boot files.[/QUOTE]

but why would i need it if im booting windows from the ssd?

[Protocol7]

It's 100MB dude don't worry about that partition. If you delete the recovery partition you should be ok to extend as normal.

[Staneh]

Is there a program that splits audio? Like when I'm streaming and I don't want to stream teamspeaks sound, but I do want to hear it through my headset.

for some reason disk management doesn't give me an option to delete it. all i get is this

[CorporalRoss]

would probably have to do it with diskpart instead, Windows probably does it as a sort of idiot proofing.

[Bora]

so do i just delete partition 2?

[t]http://i.imgur.com/DB2jtar.png[/t]

nvm i got it working

[JohnnyCrazy]

Although I already put my question on superuser.com, maybe some facepunchers can help me out :v:

It's really weird since it's using the exact same record-mode as "arecord" (which works).

I'm trying to get the Chromium Speech-Recognition working. I'm starting Chromium with the following command:

chromium-browser --kiosk --incognito [url]https://my.url[/url] --alsa-input-device=plughw:1

But the following error appeared when my web-page requests the input:

ALSA lib pcm.c:7993:(snd_pcm_set_params) Unable to set hw params for CAPTURE: Invalid argument

System: Raspberry PI 2 B (Jessie) with a ARM Chromium-Build (Chromium 47.0.2526.73 Built on Ubuntu 15.04, running on Raspbian 8.0)

The following commands work fine, so the microphone is working:

arecord -D plughw:1 -f cd -vv ~/rectest.wav #Record is working
aplay rectest.wav #Output is also working (but not needed in my case)

There is very few to nearly none infos on that error, so I have no Idea what else to try.

I need a headset and I'm willing to pay up to 40€. Which one should I buy?

[Whomobile]

A few minutes ago i was playing tf2 when suddenly my screen became filled with white vertical bars and the sound started stuttering. I turned my computer off and on again and saw some discolouration in the startup logos and text, but once I got to the desktop everything looked fine.

It's bit hot today so im leaving it some time to cool down. Its an AMD 7900 (I think) and I've had it for 2 or so years now.
Is my graphics card fucked up? Could it have overheated?

[editline]9th January 2016[/editline]

I've turned my PC back on and it seems fine now, I guess it might have overheated.
