Can anyone out there please help me, by telling me how to increase my VIRTUAL MEMORY? Windows XP.?
My computer is a dell, wid 160mb Ram. I'm using windows XP operating system ..
I'm using it to get on the net, and for general normal usage and paying games I dont use it for for anything demanding, and the speed would suffice for me for what i do..
I never had to wait when pages opened up in the past, but recently its considerably much slower than it used to be, which was good enough for me..
It started freezing up frequently recently and getting much slower when oppening a page or a program up than before..with a little window popping up sometimes, telling me its a Virtual memory problem..
Can u please tell me how to increase my VIRTUAL MEMORY..and make my computer somewhat faster....
Thanking u in advance for ur help.

I'm moving into a new apartment and have the following

2 Desktop PC's with Windows XP

1 Mac Laptop with Mac OS X 10.4.10

Now 2 of these will be hooked to my router and the Laptop will be wireless. I am now buying a HP Photosmart D7360 printer. What is the best way to share my printer?

I don't know anything about "what a home network is or how to home network". I know I can somehow hook my printer to my router. What kind of cord do I need to do that? Is it a printer to ethernet cord?

And how do I set up a home network from all of this or find out how to do set one up? Is this safe? My router is a newer Netgear(?). Can't think of model off the top of my head. Less than a year old. It does have WEP protection I setup. Anything else you need to know?

~Thanks!

I just built my very first system from scratch. I'm pretty sure everything is connected properly. BUT when i plug in the power and turn on the power supply... there's a terrible screeching noise coming from the power supply. I don't have another power supply to test. And the motherboard LED light doesn't go on when i plug in the power.

Please help.... I don't want to return the parts... cause I will have to rebuild it again... It took me an hour to build it (pretty fast for a starter). If anything is actually wrong with the parts, I guess i just have to get the replaced.

Many thanks in advance.

Okay. So, my Itunes CRASHED, including ALL of my backup files, so somehow, all of my music got deleted! Is there a program i can download to take the music off of my Ipod and put it back into Itunes?
I have a mac, so a windows program wouldnt work.

And, does anyone know why this would have happened?

I've been using a Medion Akoya for two years (I bought it to move to Morocco because it's tiny, and it has done its job well) and am ready to move up. I live on my computer (I'm a writer) and am looking for all the usual suspects - 1GB RAM, CD/DVD-R, internal wireless, at least 80GB hard drive. Memory card reader (Sony pro-duo) is preferable, but not necessary.

I will not buy an HP or a Compaq, but otherwise have few preferences. I'm considering the lowest level Mac but don't know if it's worth the $1,100 (which I don't really have).

i'm looking at two desktop computer packages.
1. Hewlett-Packard - Pavilion 4200+ Desktop a6000n
AMD LIVE! Smarter Digital Entertainment; AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 dual-core processor 4200+; 1GB DDR2 SDRAM; DL DVD±RW/CD-RW drive; LightScribe labeling; 250GB hard drive; Windows Vista Home Premium
$500

2)Hewlett-Packard - Pavilion E4400 Desktop a6120n
Intel® Core™2 Duo desktop processor E4400; Intel® Viiv™ technology; 2GB DDR2 SDRAM; DL DVD±RW/CD-RW drive; LightScribe technology; 320GB hard drive; Windows Vista Home Premium
$760

Both come with 17 inch flat panel monitor and all in one hp printer.
Of course, i know one has more ram and hard drive than the other.
My main question is about the processors. I've been told that the athlon dual core is the best out there right now, but i don't know too much about that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Which is faster in real terms,not overclocked.

The pentium d 830(2x3.0mhz) or the core duo e6600(2x2.40mhz)

I expect most people will say the core duo but i dont get it,one is 3.00mhz and the other is 2.40mhz.

Any help would be appreciated because i'm building a second computer and i want to make sure i have all the best parts in the same computer.

My computer has always worked great. It is a Notebook-Model # Presario 2200(PMO45UA#ABA Procesor type-Intel (R) Celeron (R) MCpu Speed 1.40 GHz Bios Versoin F.10. I know it is not the newest of computers, but like I said Has always worked great. One day when I went to turn it on I got the screen that said

Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM

You can attempt to repair this file by starting WIndows setup using the original setup Cd-Rom.
Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair.

I don't have the CD? WHat action can/should I take? Is there any way I can retrieve important file I have saved?

Thank you

The 2.33ghz Core 2 Duo (T7600) processor sells for about $500 more retail than the lowest clock speed Core 2 Duo processor (I believe 1.66ghz).

My question is, does it even cost the manufacturer $5 more dollars to make a 2.33ghz than a 1.66ghz processor?
