Computers & Internet - 3 September 2007

Hi.
I recently formatted my hard drive and reinstalled Windows XP Home Edition.
I have found site to download drivers specific for my computer, however there seems to be a problem with my sound.
The tune that plays when you log on plays fine, but that is the only sound my computer plays. I have checked all the volume and speaker settings, reinstalled the drivers and nothing works!
CD's, MP3's, songs on MySpace and other sites such as YouTube don't function correctly.
So please, is there any way I can get my sound back??
I am a person who can't live without his YouTube and music!!
Thanks.
Alex.

everyone in my faimly uses a laptop, but, we all share one printer. we have a desk (used to house our old pc ((omg my mp3 had more memory)) ) which is where the printer and other pheripherals are housed, which are all connected to a hub, which itself has one output cable. this usualy provides no problem. however, if someone is using the hub ( but not the printer) it then provides a problem when another wants to use the printer, as they cant do it without disconnecting person A's other peripherals. so my question is: is there a usb splitter that would split the output cable of the hub, so that more than one person could be connected to the hub at once?
any help would be great, thanks.

Its a Western Digital, Im not sure which kind. I really don't know. I got it about a year and a half ago.

I can hear it spinning. It hook up the usb cord to my computer and i turn it on, i have 4 different usb places to plug a usb cord into. I tried all four and it still doesnt work. I know theres nothing wrong with the places to plug the usb cord in, but im not sure why its not working.

I plug it into every place and it doesnt work.
I can hear the spinning inside of the external hardrive.


ugh, help?

After five years with your normal monitor I upgraded to a samsung 22" and for some reason it doesnt look as good as it did in the store. I have the monitor connected to a 128 nvidia card, and I followed the instructions on the cd I got with the computer but it just isnt as crisp as I was expecting, any suggestions? Thanks.

My computer which was built for my by a friend who has since moved out of the area so he can't help me. My computer has been randomly shutting down. I have done everything I can think of. I reinstalled Windows at least 5 different times, ran scans on my computer... reinstalled all the drivers, but i still can't get it to work smoothly. I need to know if there is anything else i can do, or some kinda of diagnostic scan to run that I haven't found, or if i should look into gutting and installing a new hard drive. PLEASE HELP!!!! thanks :)

Dell Inspiron 2200 is overheating?
I have a Dell Inspiron 2200 and it keeps shutting off randomly. The first time it shuts off after about 20 or 30 minutes after start up. The consecutive times are after about 5 minutes.Here are the steps I have taken to figure out the problems
1. Downloaded speedfan and say that fan1 was running at about 4300-4700 rpm and HD0 is 34C and temp1 is about 84C. Also fan2 and 3 are at 922 rpm.Although I assume it is overheating, I wanted to add that it isn't actually hot to the touch
2. called dell tech support. My warrenty is out but she said she would run diagnostic and see what the prob was. We ran diagnostic til the computer shut off halfway through. She said it appeared the fan was overheating.
3. Bought a targus chill mat butit didn't help
then I ran diagnostic and the only thing it said was the the AC adapter was bad. COuld that be shutting it down? THe AC adapter is for a laptop but not for The inspiron itself. should I buy a dell charger?

I don't want a computer serving the devices, I want them to be available no matter what computer in my house is running. Just needs to be Ethernet and able to host many USB devices including printers, hard drives.

I was considering downloading Linux, but I wasn't sure if the applications I had on my computer would still work. Also, I have a lot of music on this computer, so, will I still be able to access that?

Files on my computer seem to mysteriously disappear from my PC, and I can't rule out the possibility that something is deleting them.
