I am trying to set up Windows Speech Recognition on my computer. In WSR, whenever a command is accepted it plays a little 'ding' noise. Is there a way to change this to a different audio file? If there is could someone explain how to do it? I would rather a recording of someone saying some sort of affirmation instead of the 'ding'. Thanks in advance

Slow Internet speeds on Fibre Optic with a powerline ethernet
RoyalTea replied to RoyalTea's topic in Networking
All of my network drivers are up to date, and as I said, the same house wiring gives me very good throughput for all of my other devices, so the wiring shouldn't be an issue... -
Hello all, I have been getting very slow download speeds (0.5Mbps) and alarmingly high pings (~10,000ms). This is only occuring on my desktop PC, on all my other devices I get 75Mbps +, and bearing in mind I have paid for a 100Mbps connection this is decent, however on my desktop these speeds are unusable. I am using a powerline ethernet setup, although on my previous PC I had suitably fast speeds through this powerline ethernet kit, it is only on this PC I am getting these connection issues. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

I am in the process of setting up a home server using Ubuntu Server on an old Dell Optiplex 755. I have installed two 80GB drives in RAID 0 and another 500GB drive for mass storage and backups. The operating system is running from a 4GB USB stick. When I attempt to boot the computer with all the drives plugged in, I get a message telling me that the drive cannot be booted from as it is a NAS drive. I believe this is because the computer is attempting to boot from one of the other drives despite the USB stick being first in the boot priority. When unplugging the drives and booting with only the USB stick installed the computer boots into the OS with no problem. How can I get the computer to boot with the drives plugged in? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your replies. I will probably upgrade my RAM and the OS based on your recommendations. My next question is: should I buy DDR2 RAM or wait until I can afford a new motherboard and buy DDR3 RAM?

I have recently upgraded a Dell XPS 420 with a new GPU (EVGA GTX 760) and PSU (Corsair CX750W). These components appear to be working flawlessly, however, the computer is running Windows Vista 32-bit with 4GB of RAM. When playing video games the game would eventually crash. Naturally one would presume this to be the RAM causing this issue, but I have a friend who did a similar upgrade a few years ago with the only difference in his system being the 64-bit OS and his 4GB of RAM does not seem to limit his performance. Would upgrading to a 64-bit OS help or do I need to increase the amount of system memory? (I would rather not upgrade the RAM as the motherboard only supports DDR2 RAM). Thanks.
