Computers & Internet - 17 October 2006

My network was working fine before, but then I had to reformat my hard drive. I reconfigured the settings just fine, and I can still connect to the internet via my wireless router (as you can see ;-)) but I can't use File and Printer Sharing anymore. I set the settings just as they were before, but that doesn't seem to help. When I click on View Workgroup Computers, it only shows this computer, not the one I want to connect to. I want to be able to print and share files though! Please help!

I'm looking to get a new video card, but I'm not sure what to get. I'm going to be using it for gaming, but I hope to keep it around $150, even less if that is possible. It will have to be and AGP 8x, or PCI compatible card. Am I going to need a lot of pixel pipelines? I was looking at newegg and found this

Any help or thoughts would be nice.

I have Internet Explorer6.0 and have completely deleted hard drive, scrubbed it clean and re-installed Windows. When I click to IO it opens and then just closes and stops.
What can be done to fix this? Thank you so much for your input.

For example: http://www.geocities.com/crescent090799/index.html

You should be able to see where its like a square on top of the background and doesn't blend in with the background. I used a table html for this how do I make it look blended in instead of a square of the same background on the background.

We want to hook up two compuers to one cable internet connecion but we are unsure how to do this. One of the computer's is old and running 98SE, the other one is brand new and running XP... Will this affect anything? Will they still run independently? For example could Viruses or such things from the old one be transfered to the new one? Please help cause I'm unsure about this!!! Thank you so much for your time!! : )

I was wondering if it was possible to wire up a bunch of hard drives to one pc baord, then connect that via, say, a parallel port to act as a single really big hard drive. The basic idea is to turn a PC into some sort of secondary-drive manager for another PC. I've heard of RAID setups, but is there a chip that will let me add all the drives together and make my computer think that it's one drive?

My friend got an external harddrive. he accidentally plugged in my laptop powercord to it which is 19v and the drive only takes 12v. so ovbiously now, it wont power on because i think i surged it. my questions are, could it be that all the data contained was wiped out or its just a matter of either changing a fuse or something to do with the power?
