Computers & Internet - 8 June 2007

I have a thinkpad x60 notebook and it has windows vista Business installed already but the problem is I can't install my program because of compatability issue with windows vista.So, I shrink my hard drive with separate 5Gigabytes of capacity wich is enough for windows XP to be installed. When I boot my notebook with Xp installation disc to install Xp, it does boot but later on, it pop-ups the blue screen like it was crashed. It says "that it has a virus and it can't find the hard drive".blablablablablabla.How could that be my notebook is really new and how come that it can't find the hard drive if I can boot to Vista. I tried it many times but still the same. Its not the disc wich has a problem because I tried it to my desktop and it really works. So, Can you help on how to install windows xp Pro so that I can run my program and it is really important to my job.

By the way I use the external DVD-ROm drive in this operation.

thanks,

Hope you can help me

Is it possible to set preferences on Windows XP to automatically change duplicate file names so that older documents or files don't get overwritten? I've saved a couple of documents recently that may have overwritten other documents that I didn't want overwritten, and if there's any way I could at least have a copy made of an old file by the same name so that I don't delete it or overwrite it by mistake, that would be wonderful. Is this possible?

So my computer specs are: Intel Core 2 Duo 1.86Ghz, 2GB RAM, Windows Vista (I've been told this also might be a problem; resolving it as we speak), and an nVidia GeForce 7300 LE 256MB. I spent a fair bit of money on this setup expecting it to be a decent gaming PC, but it won't even run The Sims 2, due to what must only be graphical issues (clearly textures are missing, graphics are lagging, etc.)

I've been told in the past that there's a way to increase the graphics power of this card by assigning RAM to be used as video memory. So my questions are: is this possible? If so, how do I do it? And is it worth doing it at all, or should I just buy a better graphics card?

Hi,

My laptop does not recognize any wireless networks in the area ? I had configured my router and it was all working fine but one fine day my laptop stopped recognizing any wireless network. I have a Netgear 108 Mbps Router. I tried going to the site 192.168.0.1 and switching my Router on and off but that did not work. I tried rebooting the router but that also did not work ? Can someone please suggest what could be wrong and how I can resolve this ?
