It's happened to me before, and I lose all sound. I don't think it's the speakers because all I have to do is restart and it's back. It happens when I'm on Internet Explorer and/or Yahoo Launch. I dont remember if thats the only times, but those are the most common. Any ideas?
Thanks.

My hard drive seemed to mess up on me. I couldn't use it in my computer anymore.

I removed it and put it into my other computer as the Slave. XP ran the scandisk thing and fixed/deleted/restored many files etc etc.

When I'm at my Computer, the hard drive shows up, but I can't access it. It's corrupted or something.

How can I recover important information on this hard drive? ANY help would be appreciated!!! THanks

I am trying to format my C drive and reinstall windows xp pro, the problem is when I boot with XP setup, it only sees a C: partition (131xxx MB) and D: partition (131xxx MB). My first hard drive has C: D: and E: partitions in reality, and a second hard drive as one whole partition, each HD is 300 gigs. C: has XP pro and all apps, D: and E: have data that I DONT want to loose, and since XP isn't see everything clearly I am afraid to format C: now to reinstall windows. Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks!!!

I'm connecting my external hard drive(usb2.0) to my computer(1394a/b?), which is 7 years old. The external HD's port looks like this http://images10.newegg.com/NeweggImage/productimage/22-136-078-03.jpg
only other port i have is USB 1.1 (usb 2.0 to usb 1.1) and that is too slow for huge transfers.

I recently purchased this machine... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227027.
And I was just wondering what upgrades I should buy so that it can run WoW without any lag on highest settings. I'm thinking about getting more memory, but I don't know much about computers, so can this computer get more Memory? Please give links to upgrades. Please and thank you.

I just upgraded an old computer i had lying around to windows xp, more ram and hardrive, etc. The back of the computer has two USB 1.0 ports, and everything i need to run with them is usb 2.0. Are there any items out there I can plug into the port to convert everything to 2.0? Like at one end a 1.0 drive, leading to a 2.0 on the other?

Links would be much appreciated :)

An average CD will hold about 700 MB of data. I can easily fit 10 albums onto that if I burn it onto a CD as data. Why, then, can I only burn 1 album (duh, a cd is an album) on a CD formatted for audio.
What's so special about an audio CD that makes the audio tracks on them so "big", and why won't a data CD play in a CD player? Does the formatting really make all that much of a difference in file sizes on a disk?

i have been using convertxtodvd for a year and have never had a problem with it, but when i try to convert and burn a file, the dvd will not play in my dvd player all of a sudden. i know it isn't a bad torrent because i have actually burned that movie before and it worked fine. my dvd player always says "incorrect disc". Why is this happening? thanks!

I'm wanting to buy a new graphics card, and replace the X300/x550 that's in my computer now. But, I only have a 300W PSU, I was wondering, if I could buy an 8800 GTS and if it would work with a 300W PSU? Can anyone help me or tell me what graphics card that will allow me to run pretty much all high settings with no lag, and pretty pretty steady frames on a 300W PSU?

I have been using Photoshop CS2 and 7.0 for over a year. If you upgraded to CS3, do you feel the upgrade is worth buying? What do you like or don't like and is there anything in the menus that you wish were added. Thanks

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
