My video lags about 1/3 a second when playing games only. I use the TV as a monitor so, when I'm at my desktop it has no noticeable lag. It's not a High quality TV to my knowledge, but it does the job for now.

Hey, that is a great question, thanks for coming to answers, I hope this information helps.
Most computers can connect to an external display for mirrored and extended desktops. While high-definition television sets cannot match the resolution that many dedicated computer monitors are capable of, an HDTV can be a convenient way to view movies and websites on a larger screen. HDTVs typically accept a variety of inputs, and once you've found the correct input to match your output capabilities, connecting the two is as easy as plugging the correct cable in.

Determine which video standard to use. VGA and HDMI are the two most common standards used to connect a computer and an HDTV, but not all computers support HDMI output, and some televisions will not accept VGA input at 1080p resolution. Check the technical specifications of your devices to make sure you're using the right cable.


Connect your video cable to the appropriate ports on your computer and HDTV.


Tune your HDTV to display either the VGA or HDMI input, depending on which standard you are using.


Change your display settings to match your desired setup. On a PC, you can accomplish this by right-clicking on your desktop and selecting "Properties." The right-most tab, "Settings," contains options for switching between the computer displays and, if your laptop's video card supports them, extended and mirrored desktop options...People First Yes Thatâs my motto at Yahoo Answers.

AFL Finals 2012 Problem?

Rod O

I have a question... During September 2012 I went on holidays with a few friends.... During the weekend we were away we had the AFL & NRL Finals, week 1 of Finals... I knew was going to be a disaster because we only had 1 television and the bar nearby had no TV

Problem was... 6 of us, 3 love AFL, hate NRL... 3 NRL hate AFL and matches scheduled same time...

Which games out of these 4 would u be more entertained watching?Reason I ask so this year can try accommodate everyone in the event only 1 TV is available

1. Friday Night Qualifying Finals
NRL - Canterbury vs. Manly
AFL - Hawthorn vs. Collingwood

2. Saturday Qualifying Finals
NRL - Melbourne vs. South Sydney
AFL - Adelaide vs. Sydney Swans

3. Saturday Night Elimination Finals
NRL - North QLD vs. Brisbane
AFL - Geelong Cats vs. Fremantle

4. Sunday Elimination Finals
NRL - Canberra vs. Cronulla Sharks
AFL - WestCoast vs. Nth Melbourne

Answer
Oh yeah sure like duh? The same teams will not be playing in 2013.

This btw is the Dumb Question of the Season so far. Most likely you will not win the prestigious Dumb Question of the Year Award. But you will probably get DQ of the month for February.

I guess you haven't heard of cell phones and laptops where such games could be viewed.

My girlfriend is addicted to an online game and it ruined our relationship. What should I do now?

Paul Nguye

I will keep it short but concise, but in fact I could go on for days describing my recent (ex)girlfriend's problems and how much she held me back and broke my heart. So, thank you for bearing with me.

Back in September 2012, I asked out a girl that I âmetâ via an online game called Dynasty Warriors Online (DWO) after weeks of interacting in-game and video Skyping. She agreed to it, which meant that both of us would try to pull off a long-distance relationship with her being in Spain and me in Seattle. A few weeks into the relationship, I quit the game to focus on school and work because I promised to be financially ready by the time she was done with college. She didn't quit the game, however. But I had little problem with it back then, because we both had strong feelings for each other.

A few months into the relationship, her problems surfaced. Her health deteriorated, and she had to see the doctors almost every week to check up on all kinds of health issues: arched back, worse vision, polycystic ovary syndrome, depression, etc. It concerned me. After some research, I was able to link the cause to her excessive playing of DWO and spending hours on the computer (mainly to interact with her in-game friends). She got some of these conditions before starting DWO, but still, playing unrestrainedly would make them worse. I told her to lean off the game gradually until she could find it to quit completely. She seemed reluctant at first, but finally agreed to what we called a 3-day rule where she could play only from Fri-Sun, given that she'd have to have other priorities taken care of before jumping on the laptop. So I gave her my trust and we moved on smoothly.

A few months after 2013 kicked in, I started to notice her weird pattern of texting and figured she played behind my back on weekdays and nights. It was disrespectful. But I tried checking up on her to see if something bad was going on in her life, and if she needed to vent off any problem she might have held in. Nothing was going on. She was just addicted to the game and the attention that in-game people gave her that she would otherwise have so little in real life. The funny thing is I always arranged Skype dates, sent gifts, wrote (physical) letters, stayed up and text to keep her accompanied at (her) night. But it probably meant little to her, and nothing could get her off the game. As an example, not only did she actually play, she also constantly checked the game forum for events to participate. On the Mother's Day, she wrote a poem for one particular event describing how she would make her mother happy on the occasion, but in fact all she did was playing and chatting to her friends. At this point, things went awry between us.

A few weeks ago, I voiced my concern that her online-game addiction was ruining the relationship, and that I cared for her health issues. But she found unreasonable excuses to deny my attention and simply said that I had a thing with the game, and being biased was not a good enough motive for her to quit. She said that she played with extreme moderation, but I knew better. Soon enough, she started to let her guard up against anything I had to say or ask, even when it was remotely unrelated to DWO. I finally got it together to explain to her that I was tired of being one-sided between the two of us and that the game had kept her away from contributing to the relationship, going out with friends, and even taking care of her schoolwork. She knew she was hurting me; she admitted many times but never mentioned about fixing her addition. We had one last showdown yesterday, and when asked, she straight up said she chose the game over me. And I broke up with her.

The perplexity of my situation is that now she seems depressed when Iâm gone. She texted me after the break-up saying "I know my choice was stupid, I really wish I could have both. I'm in love with you Paul... You're not mine anymore and that is breaking me so badly, I already miss you, I still want you to hold my hand and to hug me, I feel so lame."

It might sound like a let's-get-back-together plea, but I am not too sure if she is worth another chance (plus the fact that she did not directly ask to get me back). I've been with her for almost a year, and I've truly cared for her so I don't want to leave her. I donât want to be âsome guyâ in her life years from now when we both simultaneously look back at today. On the other hand, I doubt she could kick her game addiction overnight, if ever, and we will go through the same fights again and suffer a bitter breakup after.

Please offer me serious advice if you have been where I am, or know someone that has. Should I ignore her and move on? Should I stay away for a while until she learns to weigh which is more important â me or the game?

Or, if possible, please teach me how to move on from a breakup. I really appreciate your help.
I have friends in real life and a decent job @ B of A. I decided to ask her out simply because I do have feelings for her, not because I want a flirtationship with girls on the internet..

Answer
Dear Nancy-

Grow a set. Find a new girl. Leave mommy's basement and put away the video games for something were you have REAL contact with people who are not crazy.

How do I change my Windows 8 laptop back to Windows 7?

best gaming laptops september 2012 image

jr5622

I have an HP 2000t Laptop that I purchased in September 2012. When I bought it, the operating system was Windows 7. I upgraded it to Windows 8 (big mistake) in November. I hate Windows 8 and want to go back to Windows 7. I've talked with Microsoft support about this, but they're no help. Any ideas? Thanks!
- I DO have the Windows 7 recovery discs from HP
- I don't just miss the old start menu. It's everything else, too
- Do I just restore it and then put in the W7 discs? (And how to do that?)

Thank you!

Answer
You probably miss the good old Start menu. Although Microsoft replaced the classic Start Menu with a new tile-based Start Screen on Windows 8, there are several ways to bypass that and get your Start Menu back on Windows 8 desktop. You may try any one of these applications:

Here are some of them:

1. Start8 -- http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/
For only $5, you get a full-fledged Start menu replacement that fits in with Windows 8's more "flat" theme, though you can also choose a theme with more rounded corners like the old Windows 7 start menu. You can also set the Start button to launch a small version of the Start screen, so you can get the benefits of the Start menu with the features of the new Start screen.

2. Classic Shell (Free) -- http://classicshell.sourceforge.net/
Classic Shell starts off looking like an old school pre-XP Windows Start menu, but you can switch to a more XP- or 7-style Start menu with the press of a button.

3. StartMenu8 (Free) -- http://www.iobit.com/iobitstartmenu8.php
Install it, and you'll have your old Start menu backâthat's it. It feels a little different than the others (it's more of a popup than a menu), and it has a somewhat annoying "Send Feedback" button, but it does the job without any complicated configuration menus. The only options it hasâwhen you right-click on the Start buttonâare to run it at startup and to skip the tiled Start screen. This is the best option if you just want to install something for free and get on with your day.

4. Pokki (Free) -- https://www.pokki.com/windows-8-start-menu
Search for apps, control panels, and files. Add your favorite apps, sites, files and folders for quick access. Boot to the desktop and skip the Windows 8 Start Screen. Disable Windows 8 hot corners on the desktop and more. Get free apps and games from the included Pokki App Store.

5. ViStart (Free) -- http://lee-soft.com/vistart/
Enhance your windows start menu with Vistart 8. With cool custom start menu skins like the windows 8 start menu metro skin, start menu buttons and lot's of extra features. The ultimate start menu for Windows 8 and compatible with Windows 7, Vista and XP you can download for free. So get your start menu back in windows 8 or replace your start menu in windows 7, Vist or XP.

Some users have said that the best among them are Start8 and Pokki.

If you are still not happy with any of the alternatives above then you can go back to Windows 7 by using a Windows 7 installer disc or flash drive to format the hard drive and do a clean install of the OS including the drivers and applications. Which Windows 7 edition and version did you have on that laptop?

Why do i feel bad for getting all the expensive things on the past?

Blue-E Sky

So im such a spoiled brat :(
I got my first laptop back in september 2010. I was so happy :DDDD
And then it stopped working in 2012 october... Then i got a laptop this year plus getting Simcity 2013 when it first came out, which made it cost to 1,200 dollars cause usually the laptop alone payed is $1,006. Then i got a $100 dollar nokia asha 206. Then i lost it.

I really regret how many expensive things i got. I wish i got a cheaper laptop cause the cheaper laptops does what i do now.
Luckly my nice dad lets me get my new phone asap in the weekends this week.

Answer
Probably because you realize that your dad was buying you those things so you would be happy when he could have been buying something that was more useful to him or the family, and he did this because he cares so much about you and you can't understand how anyone would just give you their hard earned money just like that. Especially since you didn't need the game, but just wanted it.
