Solutions to annoying computer issues

I would like to start posting solutions to computer related issues, since I seem to have a lot of them and spend hours searching for the answers. Please, if you have anything to add, let me know.

Radeon HD 6xxx series graphics card won't recognize dual monitors.

Only the top port seems to work for either monitor, neither works on the bottom port.
Solution, my brand new monitors only came with analog cables; you need digital cables, or at least one digital cable; I am going out to buy two since it looks better.

Skype for PSP?

Yes, unless you have a PSP Fat then no, it doesn't have enough memory.

Websites look funky in IE8

Turn off compatibility mode.

Simple CSS not working in IE9

Things like margin: auto; to center, it turns out using html5 doctype will fix it.

Netflix Movies are choppy

To the right of the progress bar, turn off allow HD.

Player controls don't show up once you have embedded your swf?

The swf for the player controls have to be in the same folder as your html.
