I called my friends to open the site and its working for them, however, that site is the ONLY ONE that is not opening for me.

Basically I want to know the best, I think it's called, "processing speed" like in gHz. 2.2 or 2.4 or just 2 or what?
I'm going to buy a seperate, better graphics card, but what about RAM? Is a gig of RAM alright?
Please nobody tell me to go buy an Alienware or equivalent computer, I don't want to pay THAT much. Also if it matters, I play strategies and role-players.

I am a SimCity 4 Deluxe player, and I have brought this game for 2 months. Recently, my computer had "broken" down, and I was required to bring this computer to a technician to fix it up. The technician seemed to have no knowledge at all, and what he did was "re-install" Windows XP , which I could do that myself. Afterward, I re-install SimCity 4, and I could still play it, even though I lost all my cities. Then one day, my sister had "broken" down the computer again, and by my own self, I was able to fix it, but "split" the computer into two, so that my computer had two sets of XP running. I then re-install my SimCity game, but found that I could not play the game anymore. There was an error message saying "Hardware Driver Error - Could not initialize DirectDraw". Well, I had installed DirectX 9 already, and also, I have tried the DXSETUP on the disc. With the help of DXDIAG, I was able to find out my video card was missing ever since the technician fixed my computer.

I have the I/OMagic GigaBank 250 mb external hard drive and it has been working great since I first purchased it (roughly 6 months ago), but just recently, it does not even power on. I double check the chords and outlets to see if anything is loose but unfortunately, nothing is wrong. I try different sockets in different rooms and still nothing. What is wrong? What should I do?

i have a geforce 7600gt with a amd64 3200+ and 1.5gb of ddr400 ram
however when i play my games bought on dvd/cd they play fine,good smooth graphics/frame rates.however if i download a game,especially racing games soem of them stutter and jump which is annoying
why does this happen,i could understand this with a radeon 9250 or a geforce 4mmx,but the 7600gt is a good card
could this have anything to do with my psu(400watt) being borderline as a compatible power supply
any advice would be appreciated
cheers guys!

Hi all,

The other day I made a movie on Moviemaker. I have finished the movie and saved it to my computer, but I went to copy it to a cd and it will not let me. It says something about codec and not finding the original. The movie is just pictures with music attached and is half hour long. Can someone tell me how I can copy this off. Thanks

Hi, I have a rental application that was emailed to me in Microsoft Word. Instead of printing it out and filling it out manually, I'd like to type my application.

When I click on the line, for example the line for name and try to type my name, it breaks the line and deletes the line to type it instad of typing on top of it.

Do you know how I can type above the line?

Thank you!
