I'm relocating to another town and while I'm out there looking for places to live, I'd like to have a laptop with wireless access to assist my apartment search. I don't want to buy one, I only need it for two or three days. I've found rental companies that rent computer equipment for business functions, but they want you to submit a request for a price quote and then they'll ship it to you across country overnight. What's up with that? This seems to be a huge hole in the marketplace. Where's the U-haul of computers? I want to walk in, pick it up, and pay my $20 a day when I return it. Does anything like that exist? Anywhere?

When I turn my computer on, a startup menu appears asking if I want to restart my computer using safe mode, safe mode with networking, safe mode with command prompt, last known good configuration, or start windows normally. I've tried all of them. After I select one, the windows start up screen appears like it's loading then a blue screen appears saying there is some sort of unmountable bbot volume and a bunch of other stuff. This only appears for two seconds and the computer shuts off and automatically starts up again.

Why, even when ATI/AMD had an additional 7 months of development time, did they produce a card that boats 320 stream processors and a 512 bit memory bus and more, yet in the benchmarks does not meet or beat its competitor in performance? How can a card with better specs perform worse than a card which on paper is not superior? please I want real reasons not things like "cause ATI and AMD sucks"

After a spyware scare, I am trying to secure my home network. I have Internet Explorer 7 and am limiting all the addons, etc. with that. I have read that Firefox is more secure and woudl like to use that as my main browser, with I.E. 7 only for windows updates and those websites that don't work well with Firefox. Is this really risky?

Also, I would like to secure them but am not sure which addons are best. Windows and Firefox point you to addons, but with Firefox, the addons are often unverified or unsigned(?). Is there any reputable website that certifies/checks them?

Thanks,

D

I have read you should not run more than one antivirus program at the same time. Does that only apply to real time scanning / shield? After trying EVERY internet security suite after problems with Trend Micro’s early 2007 version. I am now back with Trend Micro Security Suite 2007 (past bugs fixed apparently). However, to be extra safe I would like to run scheduled daily scans by AVG, single scans only no resident shields or real time protection? Will this cause conflicts too?

I am currently running Ad Aware, Spyware Sweeper, and the Trend Micro Spyware Sweep with no apparent problems there.

Thanks for any tips.

I was recently given a used PC as a gift.

Since it was given to me through someone else, I don't know the person who had it before I received it. Therefore, I'd like to clean it out just to be safe.

I understand how to permanently clean an entire hard drive, but I don't want to do that because I've already installed some programs and I don't want to go to the trouble of re-installing so much. (The erasure program I use is "Sure Delete," BTW.)
I've already used the "Recycle Bin" and the "Delete Cookies" and "Delete Files" options, but I understand that they don't permanently delete pictures and some other items from the hard drive.
How can I delete files that may have been downloaded online, if they've already been deleted through the "Delete Files?"
How can I find files that have been deleted through "Delete Files" but not totally deleted? I'd like to find and delete everything that was there before I got the computer (without deleting the hard drive).
Thanks.

Two years ago, I bought a Sound Blaster 4.1 Digital for my computer. Now, I am building a computer using a Abit NF7-S2G motherboard with 6.1 channel audio built in. I plan to keep the sound card for the gameport. Obviously, you would think, OK, your point? Well, I am using two drives. Both have Analog CD Audio connectors (4-pin). The Sound Blaster has three connections for Analog CD Audio, despite being only a 4.1, while the motherboard is a 6.1 and only has one connector. So basically, I want the 6.1, but with at least 2 analog CD audio connectors. My question is, is it possible to use the three connectors on the sound card, and thru the PCI port route it to the motherboard? Or is it possible to alternate between the motherboard and sound card for audio? How about both?
