Excellent! Exactly the kind of stuff I was looking for. Appreciate your help, I'll start investigating those BIOS settings.

Thank you for your quick response. I think I'm going to try getting another low cost video card and switching it out and see if that works to fix the issue. If not, I'll try to do some digging in the bios again. I did a bit before, but didn't see anything applicable to video output...

I have a computer that wants to constantly route the video signal through the VGA port on the main board. I have a graphics card, [ XFX AMD Radeon R7-250a-cl R7-250a-clf Core Boost 2gb Video Graphics Card ], but can't seem to get a signal out of the graphics card VGA port or the HDMI port. Is...

Thanks for the quick response! That idea is going to be my last resort, but it would definitely work. I'd like to avoid having to spend 3 hours downloading a 3 hour podcast, and have to be there to turn off record at the end of it. I'll keep it in mind if there isn't a better option out there.

I'm running Windows 7, and found some podcasts I'd like to download and listen to later. Many apps I've tried balk when I paste the link to the podcast I want, trying to make me 'subscribe' or somesuch. Is there a program that will let you start playing the podcast, then download it to your...
