    Do you use : No Antivirus , FREE Antivirus , or PAID Antivirus and why?

    #1: I don't use AV because I demand my performance. I still use WinXP Pro because it only uses .Net Framework for those apps that need it. If I wanted a sled, I'd buy one. I won't let my computer be one, so no new OS until CPU speed gets to 20Ghz or better to make up for what an OS that...

    Dell Inspirion 1525:Bottom half of screen blurred/brownish

    I have a JVC Modle: HD 52886 T. V. I have just put a new picture tube in it and

    A new Pix tube wouldn't be a fix for a set that won't turn on. You need new power control logic board. Remember, JVC makes the crappiest TV of them all, except maybe VIZIO. Before you purchase a JVC TV, check where it must be sent for warrantee work when needed and prepare to be amazed...

    Connecting LG Plasma via HDMI with PC - flicker problems

    Nope, don't have one of those but maybe a bit of help... maybe. Open your Catalyst Control Center and check for things like interlace settings. That setting, if wrong, messes with any monitor. There are a few de-interlace methods available, try each one.
