@ Croc It's for a shop, the display going up against a window facing outwards. The idea is there can be info/films playing on it, we don't necessarily see it :wink: Is DVI the only option for digital video? It seems very limited. Looks like I'll have to get damn expensive cables and a DVI...

Cheers for the info. It seems DVI isn't the way to go. What type of cable carrys a digital signal the furthest distance? :? Basically I need a flat panel display on the other side of the room, that is all.

Thanks for the reply :) Yes, the display is one of the newer 23" ones. Shortly after the purchase, we noticed Dell made larger, cheaper ones for a lower price and with more inputs... :lol: The port on the display is male, the port on the computer is female, so a M-F cable is required, no...

I'm pretty sure this is a virus or malware doing this, but none show up after virus scans. Can anyone recommend a decent free virus/malware scanner? I've tried AVG, Avast, AdAware and Spybot. Trend Micro housecall doesn't seem to work properly. @ pscowboy HD: 76Gb Ram: 2x512Mb pc2-5300 I...

Sure do, 37 Gb free. Thanks for the quick replys.

No. I tend to disable all firewalls.

Using firefox and IE6. Download managers have the same result. :(

Hi I'm using WinXP Home and I've got a really annoying problem- basically everything I download that is over ~15Mb becomes corrupted. I'm on ADSL, have tried using a different router, have swapped out the motherboard (another Asus) and have run AVG. I'm guessing either my computers infected...
