Computers & Internet - 3 October 2006

My pc crashed yesterday ;< However, I got everything reinstalled including virus protection software, etc.

FYI: (if it matters)
I have Sony Vaio pc with Windows XP and use Internet Explorer.

My dial up connection (which I don't use) is interfering with my DSL.

I have DSL connection and it shows connectivity with no problem.

However, when I am surfing the net for approx 2-5 minutes, I get the pop-up window requesting to connect via "dial-up" or do I wish to work offline. I can't recall how to correct this so the message goes away? Please help!

All I can do is close out all my windows and disable my DSL connection and re-connect so I can open my Internet Explorer for another few minutes - I just want the pop-up msg to go away.

I experienced a problem similiar to this a year ago and cannot recall how to fix it. (Just a blonde thing for me) lol

Hello,
My computer has a floppy disk drive a DVD drive and a CD drive. When I click on my computer only the floppy disk shows up under removable storage. My CD drive will not read CDs, this is because the computer doesn't detect that it is there. How in the hell do I get my computer to read the CD drive again so that I can install programs!! GAH!

I have a PC; my wife has a mac. My pc (Gateway tablet) is new; her mac i-book is almost 2 years old. We have a wireless network at home, and her mac is about 10x faster than my pc. Also, if my powercord is not plugged in and I am running on battery power, my pc is even slower.

Is there anything I can do (short of scrapping the Gateway) to speed up my connection? Also, why is my pc so much slower when running on battery power, and can I fix that?

When I write an email, why isn't the time stamp, I assume the exact time I hit the "send" key, accurate? i.e... I sent an email recently, I hit the send button at approximately 2:10 am Central time. A few hours later I checked my "sent" box and the time stamp was 8:26 am Pacific time. I think I get the central / Pacific part, in my way of thinking, the time stamp on the email I sent at 2:10 am central time could have been/ should have been stamped 12:10 am Pacific time. Why the 8 hour and 16 minute discrpency?

We had a leak, and some of my dvds got wet and the covers are ruin. I can find some covers at cdcovers.cc but I have some OLD movies and they (cdcovers.cc) don't have them. Is there another place where I can get them?
