best setup for 3 monitors by Huwy
Hi, My boss would like a TV connected to her PC which is already running 2 monitors. She would only use the TV when giving a presentation or training. I was wondering what would be the best way to go about this - a) buy a new video card with 3 outputs, or b) just buy another video card. If I just need to buy another video card are there anything I need to consider?

Remote Desktop does not connect, no error, nothing by Simon[_2_]
Hi, I have been connecting to my work computer via remote desktop for quite sometime now without any problems. But now I cannot connect anymore. The weird thing is that I get no error message, nothing. The 'connect' button is disabled for a short while, then after about 5 seconds it is enabled again. No errors, no nothing. If I enter the wrong IP

Vista terribly slow to copy files? by Gordon[_8_]
Vista SP1. It took over THIRTY FIVE minutes to copy 2.4 GB of files to a pen drive. Copying the same 2.4 GB of files from the pen drive to my Linux Netbook took less than FIVE minutes. Why is Vista so appallingly slow at copying? -- Asking a question? Please tell us the version of the application you are asking about, your OS, Service Pack level

Vista Search problems by GaryDean[_2_]
Vista search continues to confound me. I'm sure it works but it has clearly been obfuscated. After going through the tutorial I still can't get how it works... I want to fine a string in a file. A "string" not a word. If I search for appSettings *.config it works (the string is preceded by a space) But if I search for appSettings *.config, nothing is returned I've tried all sorts of...

Da Jerk Won, I Added to Da Jerk Count by measekite
I was rubbing Da Baboon and realized that Da Jerking Off count was low for the day. I think I only had 5 sessions and I need to have 7. I need to rub two more times. I hope I have enough of Da Lamb Chop. I wonder if I should try other Sheep parts?
