Recently I just downloaded a graphics driver for my Radion 9800 card. After the graphics driver finished installing (I had no difficulty downloading it) it prompted me to restart my computer. After it shut down and began to start back up, the monitor powers off; but the computer continues to start up normally. After each time that I try to turn on my computer, the monitor works for about the first 10-15 seconds before it turns off (its on during the booting process). Help would be appreciated. Thanks

I have this Win XP Home computer that was working fine, suddenly some blue screen appeared, it said that the component UNMOUNTABLE_VOLUME_BOOSTER had a problem, I can't even get to the login screen, I tried starting it in Safe Mode, but the same blue screen appears, I tried to go to the last good known configuration and same screen appears, I tried going to the setup screen to disable the components but I can't get to it, I AM pressing it at the right time and the right button, but it still won't let me get to the setup screen. I opened it to see if something was wrong but I found nothing. I know how to open a computer, what to look for, and pretty much everything about it inside, I have built computers before so I know I didn't mess anything up. This was the first time I opened it. And...some more details...I bought it from my aunt that lives in Mexico, the computer fails the Genuine Windows test, it has had sooo many viruses, it only has one stick of RAM, it has a 16Gb hard drive.

I'm trying to run a System Sentinel anti-spyware scan but I keep getting this error. (And I think the tech support guy has gone home). I've already downloaded dao360.dll but Run won't open regsvr32C because there's no program attached. Does anybody out there even know what I'm talking about? I sure don't...I'm so out of my league...
And please don't tell me just to use Spybot---it never found anything.
Thanks.

I want to buy a new computer, and I've noticed that the barebones computers are cheaper. I want an awesome gaming computer, but I don't want to pay thousands for it. What is a barebones computer? What would I have to do if I bought a barebones computer? Do you know any good places to get an affordable one?

I am trying to set up a form handler with a cgi-script called Form2email. Every time i click submit on my form, it gives me an internal server error. The Form2email FAQ recommends contacting the administrator of the server, but I've dealt with GoDaddy before, and their tech support is deplorable. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.
