Computers & Internet - 20 August 2006

Can anyone tell me how much power the internal parts of a computer use. For example, a case fan might use 5 watts, a hard drive may use 20, etc. I read an article before that listed EVERY single internal computer part and approximately how much power they all used in watts. and I cant seem to find anything on the net that might be something like that.

this happened about 6 mths ago, but i ignored it due to my infrequent use.Now that I am using the D drive again, i realized it can only play DVDs
my laptop is : toshiba Satellite A80

my D drive is displayed in My Computers as: DVD-RAM (D:)
it uses MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ-831S

the problem is that it doesnt detect the presence of CDs/ CDRs/VCDs when it is suposed to for all dics formats. I remembered using the D drive to read CD-Rs before and it was working then. I wonder if its due to wrong configuration settings?

I have tried troubleshooting the D drive, updating( there's no better updates available online ), but doesnt help.

i have tried scaning for hardware changes in Device Manager too. No use.
i have ticked 'Enabled Digital CD audio for this CD ROM device', but still its not able and states ' please enter a blank disc' when in fact the disc's inside.
even in my Windows Media Player i realized it indicates that no disc is detected in D drive.

my laptop is 1 yr+

I play a game called Star Wars Galaxies. In it they are giving a contest where you can make a short film of the game (only of the game) and then try to make some sort of story line out of it.

I have gotten FRAPS, which is a program that allows you to record off games. the basic version only allows me 30 second runs so i need to combine these.

I also have a movie editing program that i'm sure i can do that with.

My problem is this. Most people who would be doing this contest would have a title, who by, and maybe ending credits. (but not needed on the ending credits).

Is there a program or somewhere that someone can tell me that i can download or use online or buy that can do credits and or subtitles (really need at least credits)?

If now, can you tell me a good way to insert them?

I am trying to play a Doom 3 game and wanted to be sure my computer meets all the requirements, because the game keeps shutting down. I am sure of all of them except a hardware accelerator card and the video card type.
Also; I am running Windows XP on a fairly new Dell desktop. THX

Are there any plug and play server softwares on the market that would let me set up a video site like youtube.com? Including Flash conversion and tagging, user accounts and similiar videos and so on. I'd be interested in anything, even if it's just basic functionality.
