Fpr offices they invented paper shredders for documents with data you'd prefer not be read by anyone in the future. What do I do to my old Cd's and DVD's that I no longer need but want make sure they are unreadable by potential snoops?

Break them up into pieces? Scratch the face?
or is there another way that a business handles these old hunks of plastic?

Please don't tell me to re-install anything... I've done all that.

I'm looking for a way to get the CURRENT NIS to allow my port 25.

I have two computers that are probably ten years old. One doesn't have an OS. I was wondering if I could use parts to plug it into my new computer and use it as a external hard drive or maybe a USB flash drive type of thing. Or perhaps i could plug the whole thing into my laptop and I don't know. Have any ideas what i could do with these two computers would be great.

It is around 5 years old with a Athlon 1800 processor. I get a blue screen with a bad pool caller message and at the bottom a great long technical message. I have changed the hard disc and also the power supply unit but it is better but still not right - the cpu tempeature is 55 degress which should be fine so has anyone any ideas how I can narrow down what the problem might be, remember it seems to be worse when it is warmer?

Well, I did what everyone said. I downloaded a DVD Reader Software thing. I'm using DVD X Player, a free trial currently, but whenever I insert a DVD it says I must insert it into drive E:. So I went to My Computer > Drive E: and it says there is no disk that is being read. Why? :| I hope this is more information that may help you figure out my problem than in the last question. Thanks.

I have deleted the file 'Display.cfg' from Flight Simulator X directory to avoid the video card warning since my video card has only 16MB of memory and the game runs successfully on my PC having 256MB of RAM. Anyone please tell me whether it is safe for my video card to run the game with higher memory requirement? Can the game damage my video card? It's S3/VIA Unichrome IGP card with DirectX supported. Actually the game requires a 32MB Video Card.
