Additional monitor displays background but nothing else. by Sideways
My additional monitor displays the desktop background but no other information at all. I am running Vista Home Premium. Can anyone please help me to get the second screen (Samsung 245B) to replicate what's on the first (Fjitsu Amilo 1718)?

SATA DVD Burners by Sid-M
I apologize for my ignorance, but I just can't find an answer. I notice that the SATA DVD Burners, such as Sony and Samsung, do not have an audio output. Does this mean that it is not required to connect the audio output to your sound card if the drive is SATA? Thanks for any information.

RC2 installed drivers newer than 96.33? by sickpuppy
I upgraded from RC1 to RC2. After a successful upgrade, I checked the video drivers. RC2 had recognized my Nvidia card correctly and had installed a driver from Nvidia, which I think is newer than 96.33. The new driver was 7.14.10.9677. It, so far, is working fine. I have played HL2 on Steam and there was no problem. Unlike before with RC1 and driver 96.33. Is this a newer driver or not....

Does anybody actually or can confirm or deny that the latest graphics cards (8800 GTX etc) are compatible with the upcoming DX10.1 release?

Wrong values for processor in device manager by Shwoarma
Odd one upgraded for an amd 5200 to a 6000. Device manager shows the 5200 still. BIOS recognises it as a 6000, so does other cpu recognition software ie NVIDIA ntune, cpuz etc. Any ideas???
