Adrian84 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I was looking to play my xbox through my laptop using an xbox vga cable, but I wanted to be sure my laptop can accept vga in, and not just support vga out. (I think thats all that's req'd for it to work!?) I'm using a Sony Vaio VGN-NR32L (PCG-7134M) notebook , is there anyway I can check if it would accept vga input? I've tried the online user manual, but it only shows instructions for linking the notebook up to a monitor etc (this may be answering my question!) thanks in advance 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it only has one VGA port then it will be an outy. What you can get are USB devices that have various video ports on them - they're marketed and mainly used for video capture. Theyre not that expensive and might be worth a shot, but to be honest, Ive no idea whether or not they would work well enough to play games with. If youre using VGA you'll need to do something else to get sound too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While looking at other sites I seen a few ppl mention the USB video capture devices, but most were saying they were not the best quality for playing games. I'll have another look into them and see if it looks like a decent option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd search it into google, "music from ipod to computer". There's also a program called Senuti that does it, but I seem to remember it being Mac only when I looked for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a cracking program on my home PC that'll do this. Unfortunately I can't remember what it's called. I'll get back to you later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help? To be honest, I've found that Bluetooth file transfer on smartphones (well, Blackberry, HTC and iPhone in my experience) are all absolutely shite. Link the Sumsung via USB cable to the PC, transfer the pictures to the PC and then sync them with the iPhone (wait, can iPhones do that?) or.......Can iPhones download email attachments? She could just email all the pictures from the PC, might take longer though.... Good luck with the Bluetooth 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing so three times (i think) will completely wipe it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click on the Spanner icon Click 'Options' At the side Click 'Under The Hood' Next to Web Content" is a button that says "Customize Fonts" Change your Standard Font or any other font to whatever you want. Done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mik Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Can you convert to xml from Acrobat? Yeah but it's not working... What's it is, is I have a PDF which has an isometric drawing on it and a data table. However, the data table seems to be embedded as a picture because it's not picking up any of the data as text. I've tried exporting it in HTML, TXT, RTF, XML so far and it's not picking it up. I think i'm f*cked on this one.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
