    Winamp playlist retrieval

    Yeah, I have backups and like I said in my original post, I still have all the original winamp folders used with my old os. I'm hoping there is a file in there that has the playlist stored.

    Winamp playlist retrieval

    I do have Easeus data recovery, might be worth looking into. Do you happen to know if the playlist is stored in any particular folder or file type?

    Winamp playlist retrieval

    Is it possible? I installed a new OS (7 over vista), I backed up everything but i forgot all about winamp/itunes and their playlists. I lost around two dozen playlists on winamp alone which I would like be able to retrieve. I still have the winamp program files in my windows.old folder that...

    PC won't start - how to install from scratch and other questions

    It's not a generic driver. I previously had the 3.0.3.0 driver which was the latest for the linksysy wireless-g pci card V.4 Now I have the 3.1.0.0 driver installed which works fine. Actually, from a quick search just now, it seems that the 3.1.0.0 is the latest driver by a few months, I...

    PC won't start - how to install from scratch and other questions

    Update - I installed windows 7 over my vista os with the same driver and on my first restart, it happened again. Being a fresh install and not having all the drivers for things like usb, gpu and monitors, and not remembering where these drivers were located in the pc, I allowed the device...

    Choppy video after installing new os

    I'm pretty sure they are up to date, I tried the original driver from my windows.old ATI folder and I also tried downloading one more recent and I get the same results. I'm thinking maybe this has to do with codecs or direct-x since I don't have any on my new install.

    Choppy video after installing new os

    I've just installed windows 7, a complete install over vista which I used to have on my pc. All the harware is the same but I did have to install new drivers for my ati hd5450 gpu to work again. I've noticed a few things so far. When I use windows media player and vlc, the video sometimes gets...

    Thanks. I had the same issue again this morning. I'll definitely be getting a new wifi card in the coming week. I'll update if it continues with the new card...

    PC won't start - how to install from scratch and other questions

    Thanks. I had a quick look, it says 40k+ events. Off recent dates on Administrative Events it has TCIP, Server and nvstor32 among the top ones, don't really know what I'm looking for here though. Lots of errors. lol. EDIT: Just wanted to add, it happened again today. After I woke up the wifi...

    PC won't start - how to install from scratch and other questions

    Thanks for the quick response mike. It's a linksys WMP54g pci card. It's hardware version 4 and I have the specific drivers for it running on vista home basic. It's the same one I used on my dell optiplex 110 and used in my e521 when I purchased it around 2006. It's been running fine since then...

    PC won't start - how to install from scratch and other questions

    Thanks guys. @ugoboom - None of the F8 options would work. When I tried to startup in safe mode the drivers would load up and freeze. I think some time before, I deleted the recovery files in the partition you are talking about. Actually before I gave up and went out to buy a new one, I...

    PC won't start - how to install from scratch and other questions

    I'm currently doing all this from my old, almost 10 year old dell inspiron 6000 laptop that zaps me whenever I try to pick it up to move it or rest my hands on part of it to type, so I'll try to include all details as quickly as I can. Everytime I start up my PC, I get taken to the Startup...

    Is my router shot?

    Thanks. I was wondering if you could help me with another problem. I recently tried running Utorrent after the touter firmware update and for the first few minutes it was running ok but then my wifi connection was dropped. The network was still visible just disconnected and would not reconnect...

    Is my router shot?

    Thanks. It is an old b/g router which has been set to run on g. Signal shown on all computers is strong, even the one in my room which is 10 feet away from the router, separated by a wall. Test results so far have been consistent around 10Mb/s but the room computer, for some reason has dropped...

    Is my router shot?

    I'm pretty sure it's Mb/s. Anyway I've just updated my router firmware and it seems to have helped. I'm now getting readings of around 10Mb/s using wifi and 20Mb/s connecting my laptop to the router. The readings are pretty consistent with all three computers I am connected on via wifi. Now...
