Thanks for your help. I'll try the WiFi dongle route first.

Thanks for your help. I might try that.

Thanks for that tip Phillip. However, I updated the driver as you suggested but the download average speed has decreased further although the upload speed has increased quite significantly (although this may just be a coincidence)! Can I do any other checks or is there any process that might be...

The Wifi on my Toshiba Satellite C50-B-13N is getting slower and slower - download speed of <1Mb and upload 0.2Mb or zero. My other Laptop in the same location is getting 35Mb up and 10Mb down so its not the Router. Could it be the Network Adapter (Qualcomm Atheros AR956x) or is there something...

I have a LINKSYS WAG320N Router. When I look at the DHCP Client Table some "connected" items are listed even though they are not currently switched on whereas others (ie my mobile phone) disappear when I switch them off and then refresh the table. Can someone tell me why? Also, I have an...

Thanks for your detailed response ArtPog. I'm going to take things very slowly this coming weekend as I think I will need to be careful not to mess things up. First thing I'm going to do is what the other guys have already said - back up everything. I'll let you know how I get on but you've all...

I'm running Windows 7 64 bit Pro OS with a 500Gb SSD, a Gigabyte Z68X-UD3-B3 motherboard with an i7-2600 CPU, 2x8Gb of RAM and a EVGA GTX 680 graphics card. I have another computer running Windows 7 Pro OS with a Foxconn MB but with a 1TB SSD which I now want to move onto my newer computer. When...

I've tried searching for the tech spec on a Vision Tek XA84FB graphics card but can't find it anywhere. Can anyone help please?

I only have 1 HDMI output but want to use 2 monitors to display exactly the same picture so I connected an HDMI splitter. When I turn on I get a good picture on one display and nothing on the other. When I check screen resolution it shows a single “Generic” monitor is connected rather than the...

Thanks everyone who has responded so far. The reason I am asking is that I fitted a TS-PDU3 expansion card to a 4xPCI-E slot on the motherboard (with a 4 pin power connector) to provide a higher power 5v supply to 2 of my peripherals but it conflicts with my GTX 1080 graphics card and stops the...

On my Gigabyte GA-X79-UD3 motherboard I have potentially 3 choices for connecting peripherals via USB3: 1. Either of the 2 ports mounted on the motherboard 2. Ports from the "onboard USB3 Connectors" 20(?) pin output socket that feed USB3 sockets at the front of the PC 3. A USB3 powered...

Thanks geofelt. The PSU is a 1050 so no problem with the power although I'm glad you mentioned the PSU because it could have been a valid restriction. However, I don't know how to configure the system, graphically speaking. I f I did re-install the GTX680, how do I control X-Plane graphics and...
