Software,
Sound,
Windows I recently bought a new A/V Receiver, which supports digital audio via two connection types: optical and digital. So I connected my laptop via spdiff – optical to the receiver and the receiver was receiving Dolby Digital perfectly.
There was only one problem, I wanted to send stereo sound via Winamp in 5.1 signal too. After looking around the web for some plug-in, I found ATSurround. This plug-in can upmix stereo to 5.1 / AC3.
Just download it from free-codecs.com

Vista,
Windows,
nVidia I recently had a problem with Windows Vista and the nVidia display drivers:
When I logged on to Windows and the dual monitor settings were set correctly (19″ display as primary display and the laptop display as secundary), Vista would reset these settings, setting my laptop display as primary, my stand-alone display as secundary with a resolution based on the laptop display (1280 x 800).
Then I found a fix for this issue, changing a register entry:
The key is in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\TMM, called
UseIViewHelper and it’s value is 1. Just rename this key and reboot. The problem will be fixed!
