I actually just had this issue with my Dell laptop. Worked last week, doesn't now. To fix it (it has an ATI chip in it) right click the desktop, choose properties, go to the settings tab, then click the Advanced button. Now click on the Display tab (if it is ATI) and click on the TV. Worked...

Any way you slice it, mine works great! And it is art too, kind of abstract :)

Ok, I found some pictures on my site, but they are from the first weekend when I moved in. These were taken before I cleaned it up and made all the wires nice-nice. http://www.geekfestlan.com/images/wire1.jpg The first picture you see the multiplexor (takes two DSS signals and a cable signal...

You definately have USB 1.1 and not 2.0, 2.0 wasn't available back then. Are you looking for aditional USB ports? If that is the case, you have a couple of options. 1) A USB PCI card that will go in one of the open slots in your machine. These usually provide between 2 and 4 additional...

I guess it all depends on what your budget and expectations are. I have a system that uses the Open House products - http://www.multiplextechnology.com/openhouse/ and it works great. I am sure higher quality products may be available, but at what cost? Sorry I totally spaced on that...

That series of routers does provide what it calls "bandwidth management", so you should be able to do this. Unfortunately I have no experience with cisco routers so you may want to ask this question in the cisco router section good luck

I have found that there is no rhyme or reason to when an RW CD will work, and on what machines. I am pretty sure they were designed to work on the machine they were burnt on, but not necessarily anything else. I have tried burning files at my home to a CD-RW, then bring them to the office and...

This is a nice site for logon scripts, and it includes one for changing a homepage. http://www.rethinkit.com/ntscript/LogonScript.htm Grant

You could always replace them with another program. Like maybe something that pops up and asks them if they have work to do :)

Pretty much any of the HPs will work, there are only a few that don't get up to 2400x1200. I have a 9** series and it is great (can't remember which one). I use an HP All-in-one that is super, if you need more than just a printer, check those out.

Unfortunately there is no support for USB in NT, you will either have to switch the machine over to 95/98/ME/2K/XP or use a parallel cable for the printer.

Do they boot up with other USB peripherals plugged in? I have a PC with XP Pro that has a USB HP All-in-one that I don't have any issues with. If it works with a USB mouse or other peripheral plugged in, then try rebooting a different PC with the printer plugged in. You are going to need to...

I don't see it in the gallery on my site, I will post it tomorrow and put the url up here. It is definately a convenient way to make a mess :)

Oh, one more thing. The next addition will be a camera at the front door that runs back to the patch panel and uses an RF Modulator to distribute the signal to all of the TVs in the house on a specific channel. That way when the doorbell rings you can switch over to 4 (any number really) and...

No, I have the cable coming into the laundry room from outside, then that connects to my cable modem. From there I have the ethernet cable connecting it to a Linksys router. From there you can distribute to the rest of the house. I have a patch panel so you just run a cable from the router...
