Computers & Internet - 29 September 2006

Hello. I am working on building a computer and I am having issues on the power supply.

I have a ati radeon x1900 XTX and it says it requires a 500 watt power supply.
I also have intel 2 duo core e6400 and 2 gb of ram.

Heres the question. My case is 500 watt but I didn't buy a seperate power supply. Since the requirement is 500 watts, and i have alot of fancy sheet along with the video card, should I buy another power supply seperately? And if I were to buy another power supply would it replace the power supply in the case?

My guess is I should buy a 750 watt power supply seperately and that it would replace the case power supply, but please tell me if i'm wrong.

Thanks :D

I added a slideshow to my myspace the other day but instead of copy and pasting the code I went ahead and hit the add to my myspace automatically button. Now it shows a huge blank box with a broken link icon in the corner of it......the problem is when I went into my edit profile to delete the html code so it would go away there was no html code in the box. It's blank......is there anyway for me to remove it off of my page when my page doesn't seem to recognize that it is even there?

Installed a lynksis wireless modem a few months ago, after a few hitches, it worked more or less flawlessly for a while; suddenly some days ago, I got both my note book and my desktop to not to detect any wireless network.
Any info/suggestion please

How come asian characters appear as question marks (???) to me? I just recently got a new motherboard and it cleared out my hard drive card so I can understand if I don't have something that will make the japanese or chinese characters appear as they are. But I'm just wondering do I need to download something so they appear normaly? And where? I've tried encoding and every other thing I could think of but it doesn't work.

When I open yahoo homepage, and start looking at the text, the page starts moving. They are squeezing that @%@##$@ popup advertising in at the top saying welcome to the all new yahoo, and the whole screen slips. It is a %^$^3#$%^* to read. I even took the tour to get rid of it (doesn't help). And there is no one to phone. It is all email, and there is no one at the other end. Are you pissed at yahoo for this, or anything else? DAMN YAHOO!!! I hope someone from Yahoo reads this and lets a REAL PERSON KNOW!

I received a CD for Microsoft Office 2003 Pro. I installed it over my student edition. No problems. The person I got the CD from said it came with Front Page. Sure enough, when I looked at the contents of the CD I found it and installed it. I find it odd though, because the person gave me a different serial key to use for it than the one I used for the office install.

So I guess my question is whether this is just a weird thing, or if it is an illegal thing? I'd be interested in whether other people who have office 2003 pro also have front page on the CD?

It randomly decides that I am only allowed to move it up and down, not side to side. It keeps getting stuck that way. After 1-3 minutes it works again. Actually it's worse when I just opened a new page in my browser -- makes things as slow or slower than when I had dial-up! It is driving me crazy! What's wrong?

I've:
shutdown and restarted
ran an anti-virus beyond what's normally installed
updated the mouse software
Uninstalled and reinstalled the mouse
Cleaned up the hard drive thinking I might be using all the computer resources
Pulled some programs out of my startup queue
Checked the task window to see what's running in the background and it says I have loads of free ram.

I'm not a computer wizard, so I need to know in plain English --- What's wrong??!!?!?!!
