It keeps saying "Error code 0x80245003". And going to the Windows Update site keeps giving me an "Internet Explorer" error.

And I've done everything I can to address the problem on my end.

Does anyone have any suggestions--short of beating this PC of mine with a wet noodle?

It's a Plextor PX-740A dual-layer drive. It came with a grab box that I purchased on eBay for about $13.00, which included some other stuff. It only reads discs, but won't write them. It's in great physical condition, I was wondering if I should resell it cheap on eBay as a unit that needs repair, or if I should get it fixed (or maybe fix it myself if possible). Or should I just toss it in the trash can? It retails for about $60 to $100 (I think).

I'm using an ASUS P5GL-MX motherboard with Windows XP Professional Edition Service Pack 2. I want to add a SATA 3.5" hard disk into it but I am afraid it is not compatible with the motherboard as stated in the user guide.

This fall I'll be purchasing a new personal Laptop. I'm thinking about going with a Macbook Pro with Leopard. My question is how compatible will it be with Windows machines. For instance if I have M.S. Office files to share can I do that? If I have Windows-based games like World of Warcraft will I need Mac versions or can I use my current CDs? Most importantly I’m going to grad school in the fall. I assume most of my classmates will be using windows laptops. How will our file/program sharing go? Will I be a big pain in the ****?

Part of the fun and intrigue of a Mac is ease of use and exploring "Mac Computing" after all these years of being on Windows machines. But I don't want to be on an island.

Thanks for your thoughts.

I purchased a Toshiba Satellite A135-2286 laptop about 4 months ago. It is running Windows Vista and only has 512 MB of RAM. I purchased an additional 512 MB stick of RAM from Crucial.com and installed it today. I expected to boot the system and have 1GB total, however it only recognizes 512MB.

I removed the factory installed memory module and installed -only- the module that I purchased from crucial.com, and it booted fine, so I know the module is good. The system just won't recognize that I have 1GB when I install them both.

Should I send this memory back to crucial.com and order a "name brand"? I've got a tight budget, but I found a Corsair 1GB module at tigerdirect for $39.99:

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2227106&CatId=150

Do you think this will be compatible with my factory installed memory, or even with the system?

Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!

I've tried the F8 when booting up. I constantly press it and on my other computer it does it but on this one it won't. I really need to boot up in safe mode to scan for viruses. My computer is working fine but I just wanna scan in safe mode to make sure. Is there another way to boot in safe mode besides the F8???

I'm interested in a video editing program where I can do things such as add beams of lights and put videos on a TV in the background, etc. I use a mac book at the moment so if there is a program that will work for mac that would be great. I do have access to a windows computer if that's all there is.
Thank You.

Im looking for a photoshop package that is inexpensive that mainly lets me touch up a few photos in black/white, sephia, and cropping so forth. All i've been using is my windows paint that only allows me to crop photos. Do they make such software that will give me basic editing that wont cost an arm and a leg?
