I have a Dell 172FPb. The monitor works for a second, but then turns off. The power button continues to flash (green) on and off about once a second. The monitor self test doesnt work, so its not a computer,video card or cable problem. Just wanted to get the thing open and see if i have a bad connection on the power connector. Any comments appreciated.

I only have 256MB RAM so it shouldn't be too heavy on the Ram. I already have PDFcreator, is there a better choice?

I am running windows vista and I have a file that is corrupted. McAfee is telling me that it has detected a buffer overflow in location C:\Windows\System32\DIIHost.exe The file that I'm trying to delete is in :
C:\Users\John and Amanda\Desktop\Video
When I try to delete it says that it can't because the file is open in another program and it is not. I've tried Task Manager, deleting it in DOS mode and nothing works. Could someone please walk me through how I should be trying to delete it in DOS mode.

When I say walk me through, I mean step by step and based on the file information I've provided, show me exactly what to type. I'm a newbie. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thank you

I have never encountered a problem such as this one. I have a Dell Dimension 2400 Desktop. When I turn it on, It powers on for 3 seconds or less, then turns off by itself, then after 1 or 2 seconds, turns on automatically. I hear something but it doesn't sound like a beep; it's very faint. Also, there is no display. After it turns on fully, everything seems to operate normally on the tower. You can see the power light on, fans on, motherboard light on but no display. I have Windows Xp Pro and there is no video card. The monitor is plugged into the on-board VGA port.

Any ideas?

Is this still true, is it fixable, because when I want to download a book from the library it sucks that the ipod is pretty much the only device I can't transfer it to.

I am looking for a number of servers (say 40 dedicated machines) each with their own IP, not in the same IP address range, spread around the world. It can be Linux of windows PCs. Does anyone know of a good solution or service for this? I have looked into EC2 from Amazon but they do not have the support I need. Idea?

I am looking for more information and details about 64-bit Operating Systems (including both XP Professional and Vista Ultimate) and if they require any special motherboards or processors? Specifically, I would just like to know the major differences between 32-bit and 64-bit architectures in terms of the software environment (OS).

This shoudn't be happening, but it is....

I just got a new Intel Core 2 Duo 6600, and was multitasking like mad, having Netscape Navigator going with about 10 tabs, an anti virus scan going and iTunes was playing music-and the computer was hiccupping. What is up with this? I thought Core 2s weren't supposed to do this?? I guess Intel's statement that with the Core 2 you can:"Do more at the same time, like playing your favorite music, running virus scan in the background, and all while you edit video or pictures. "-is a bunch of crap. Is this processor related, which I'm thinking it is?

I also tried to play a game online, Command and Conquer Generals, which isn't that intensive-and the game hiccupped also. I closed itunes and most of the other apps except for navigator, and the game was still stuttering. Cpu usage was about 3/4's of the way up on both cores during this. Could the game stuttering have been due to my router or the cpu? If it is the CPU, should contact Intel?
