Serial Adapter
I bought a USB PDA / Serial Adapter for my computer, but will not let me install the driver?

I have Windows XP. The cable consists of DYNEX. My computer says "Windows can not open this file" File: SERSPL.VXD then gives me two options 1. use the web to find an appropriate file 2. program select from a list. Well, I've tried them all on the list and none of them work. Option 1 leads me to a file association with Microsoft Windows. It also says that file type: unknown Description: Windows does not recognize this file type. I tried calling Dynex company and have been on hold for about 45 min. Please help. Thanks

You may also need to have the USB cable connected to one of the USB ports on the back of the team, not the front. I do not know why but for some reason it makes a difference.

Trying to set up a Bose V20 home theater system. I would like to program the Bose remote controller to operate the satelite receiver which is a Dish Network VIP622.

Save yourself the trouble and go buy a Harmony remote from logitech. You’ll never look back.

Quad Output
can an LED light bulb be dimmed? Can it be run on less wattage that it’s total output is?

I plan to put an LED headlight system on my quad which does not have a battery, only has power from a magneto (like a generator), which powers a 45W standard bulb, when you slam the gas down the bulb goes bright, and at idle it’s dim. I want to replace it with an LED fog light system, but I’m wondering if they will work if they don’t have a constant power source delivering full wattage. I know halogen bulbs can be dimmed, but they all draw 55W which is probaly too much juice. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Led’s will also dim because the power dips and spikes when the rpm changes. Atv’s just have a crude electrical system.

I have played around with Luxeon led’s, I’m thinking this would work better. Luxeon’s need a driver circuit. Basically you wire this electrical box to the Atv’s 12v input and the Luxeon to the output. This box sends out a specific amperage and voltage to the led. It should help the dimming problem

Luxeon led’s are really bright and are now being used in flashlights. They draw very little power. The only bad part about them is that they get hot and need a heat sink(radiator).

Question for those that live alone Have Gas prices and cost of living forced you to cut back?

Just Curious.

I live alone with 2 cats, I live in Ohio and make about 25K a year. I’ve been cutting back this last year due to cost of living and gas. I was living beyond my means.
I had 2 cars, I Sold the 94 Buick and the 04 Toyota Camry and got a new Kia Rio. New car with warranty and lower payment then the Camry. paid off credit cards most of the way when I sold my Buick. I may give up my custom license plate on my car and just get the standard one.

I dumped Cable TV and bought an amplfied rabbit ears(and an HD converter box) that was 47$ right there. It was CATV or the internet. I would just go to the library for the net but it is my main form of entertainment so I guess I’ll give in on that one.

Cut out cell phone texting(put a blocker on it) and dumped my land line.
Started shopping more at Aldi’s for some stuff. Ebayed some stuff and took some stuff to a mens consigment shop that I wasn’t wearing.

How about you?

I drive 95 miles round trip to the job 5 days a week. The car gets 38 mpg by only going 60 on the e-way. It stays parked on Sat & Sun.

Quit dating altogether > women don’t seem to want to cover their half of the charges. Rarely eat out > frozen pizzas every now & then.

Never had a land line since my divorce > cell phone only. Never text. Do have cable tv > so don’t go to movies very often & only matinees when I do >no concession spending either.

Had to quit running air > fans only. Keep most of the lights off & use a dimmer switch on most of them. A toaster oven does most of oven work & occasional reheats in the microwave.

Luckily though, gas is down to $3.69 where I live > was up to $4.25 a couple of weeks ago. Every now & then, I will spend $2 on the lotto> it’s a total waste, but you have to play to win.

My receiver / tuner keeps going out?

I have two year old Sony tuner / receiver. Often when I am listening to my stereo, speakers or a CD player only exit. If I give a blow small, usually brings the CD player or new to the sound returns to all speakers (I have 5 speakers). What can I do to fix this problem? I recently changed all the speaker cables because I thought that was the problem. Of course, that does not help, because it is a problem with the receiver. I believe that the security had probably run out. Thank you!

Check the audio cable too.

how to connect both HDMI audio output and a PC speaker audio output on a computer?

My computer is connected to my TV to via HDMI. IALS speakers connect two computers through the outlet. Both work the sound devices, but not together? I tried Realtek HD Audio Manager but once again allowed to play only one of the two. Perhaps there is some software that can help me. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Well, another Audio Setup form is through a separate cable RC. You can use a signal splitter from your PC, use one end of the cable to connect RC to TV, and the other PC speakers. Then you can get sound for the PC and the TV. I hope not to lose there. Oh … and if you have speakers on board or simply want the TV sound, a signal splitter is not necessary

Best USB or Firewire unit to use electric guitar with Garageband?

I’ve tried a Line 6 TonePort GX. It died after a year. I tried an M-Audio JamLab connector. It died after a year. Can anyone please recommend a USB or Firewire piece of hardware that will allow me to play and record my electric guitar through my MacBook Pro using Garageband?

Presonus makes an amazing product. I have their Fire-Pod and have been using it for over 2 years now without any problems. They have a smaller version of the Fire-Pod called the Fire-Box. You should definitely check it out. http://www.presonus.com/
