Have a client who has a Windows 7 machine with a Deskjet 5150 attached to it through USB, the Win 7 can print to the printer just fine. She then RDPs into a Windows XP VM, which used to be able to print to the printer up until Monday when it just stopped working. I updated drivers on both sides, did a few fixes found online about modifying registry settings for printer ports but nothing seems to be working.

Anyone had an issue with this before? Very odd that it worked fine and now suddenly wont. She has to RDP to the VM due to this shitty 3rd party software they use that doesn't play nice over the WAN so the VM is on the LAN of the central office. ]]> Tech Meresgi http://www.bluegartr.com/threads/116180-Printer-not-working-through-RDP Cannot connect 360 controller to pc http://www.bluegartr.com/threads/116161-Cannot-connect-360-controller-to-pc?goto=newpost Tue, 21 May 2013 14:55:48 GMT As title states both of my controllers won't connect to my pc. I used the support thread below to install.

Guide button lights up after install. When trying to do: run>joy.cpl to configure it, the controller does not show up. I go into device manager and no errors show. All drivers appear to be updated.

Can anyone help me out with this? ]]> Tech Kalmado http://www.bluegartr.com/threads/116161-Cannot-connect-360-controller-to-pc Wireless Xbox 360 Controller and FFXI http://www.bluegartr.com/threads/116152-Wireless-Xbox-360-Controller-and-FFXI?goto=newpost Mon, 20 May 2013 21:24:51 GMT Is there any actual solutions to using the trigger buttons as buttons and not an axis?

Hi, all!! This is Travis' friend, Melissa. I'd be honored if I could hear a bit of your expertise or any thoughts even mildly related to this at all...

I've been looking for "forum frameworks" that are similar to http://discourse.org -- that are written with Ruby on Rails. Would anyone have any leads, suggestions, or thoughts on frameworks --- or forum features you find useful in general? Thank you so much for your time!!

I like the Beats Executives. They are super confy and do the job. But I find it hard to pay $300 for them...

My 2nd favorite are Sony's but can't seem to find them for under $300 at all. ]]> Tech Tekki http://www.bluegartr.com/threads/116131-Hey-audio-dudes-suggest-some-cans Win 7 only boots in safe mode http://www.bluegartr.com/threads/116122-Win-7-only-boots-in-safe-mode?goto=newpost Sat, 18 May 2013 02:52:48 GMT Windows 7 64 bit Home edition - legit 16 gigs of ram nVidia GeForce GTX 660 Ti Last night I was playing borderlands 2 and paused on the... Windows 7 64 bit Home edition - legit
16 gigs of ram
nVidia GeForce GTX 660 Ti

Last night I was playing borderlands 2 and paused on the inventory menu so I could go eat. When I came back, my computer had rebooted itself and could no longer boot windows 7. It reaches the windows 7 splash page, then my monitor goes into standby mode, as if I had shut off the PC and left the monitor on, beeps after 15 seconds, and reboots to do it all over again.

It only boots in safe mode, and actually boots normally when I uninstall my display drivers. However, upon reinstalling my video drivers, it goes into the infinite restart loop.

I have already tried a system restore, as well as reinstalling windows 7 - it still craps out on me when I install the nvidia drivers(directly from the nvidia site). I also checked my startup settings and made sure that "safe boot" wasn't on. Nothing I have tried has yielded any results.

Any input would be greatly appreciated. =/

note: I bought and installed my current video card about 1 month ago and have not had any problems whatsoever with it. ]]> Tech Chelly http://www.bluegartr.com/threads/116122-Win-7-only-boots-in-safe-mode Any good MP3 players out there? http://www.bluegartr.com/threads/116111-Any-good-MP3-players-out-there?goto=newpost Thu, 16 May 2013 23:36:51 GMT Hey all,

I'm looking to find a high-capacity mp3 player that sounds good.

What do I mean by good? Not an iAnything (for having roots as mp3 players, they are pretty horrible), no fiddling with a $5 app for 6 hours on an android to sound OK...

I've stockpiled a couple ~'07 Meizu mp4 players that have a great virtual 3D/surround equilizer setting and they can also handle .flac. The problem is, they are only 4gb.

The brand must have been pretty well-renowned because even 2gb models are still $55, used 4gb are still close to $100 after 5+years.

I have tried a sansa clip and it sounds better than apple/android, but not great.

Anyone know of a great brand/model with capacity? ]]> Tech Dryr http://www.bluegartr.com/threads/116111-Any-good-MP3-players-out-there WTB Custom Phone case. http://www.bluegartr.com/threads/116110-WTB-Custom-Phone-case.?goto=newpost Thu, 16 May 2013 22:12:54 GMT Misleading title aside, was wondering if anyone knew a decent site for making your own phone cases. I've used Artscow in the past for a mouse pad but they don't offer my phone as a custom case (Motorola Electrify).
