Screen saver switches back to Windows Welcome screen whenever it wants to. Is there a setting I need to find in another heading to keep " Pipes " saver going until I decide to go back to using computer? Sorry if this seems stupid and basic but it's all new to me!!! Thanks!

In the year 2003 when i first got Internet i got this modem called Home Connect Cable Modem and 4 months ago i got vonage so my voice quality is terrible because its like dropped audio so i think the modem is the problem so i searched my modem including the model number on google and i came to their website and it says that they don't make cable modems no more and also my cable modem was first released in 2001 so do you think my cable modem is the problem with my vonage dropped audio and the connection getting away a few times a week?

Also can somebody recommend me a good quality cable modem that you wont need to call your Internet company to get it to running because its a pain in the butt and which store do they sell it plz?

Home Connect Cable Modem
Model 3CR29220

Also the one that gives me the best answer wins 10 points!!!!!!

*read full title* We had the same problem with our speakers, but we got those to work again. I have tried going to the device manager and seeing if the USB was disabled, but it says that it is enabled. Weird. On my printer, it has a USB for the camera to print pictures off of it, and that works fine, but that doesn't work when you want to upload pictures!! SOOOO...I don't know what to do now. =[ Any ideas?

I can type 115 wpm with 100% accuracy. I'm only coming into 8th grade when school starts. I'm going to try and beat the world record.

I tried installing the Sims2 game but that "....not found DirectX compatible graphics adapters..." error pops up.

My dad's planning on buying a new PC. Anyone know how I can get one which works best with this game? And can I like, tell the store the type of Video card I want with the computer? Will they provide me with that one with the PC and do they charge extra?
At the moment I have a very old Win98.

I love it but is it a security risk? I've heard some say it is but then again, they may not know what they're talking about!

Thanks
