I have two laptops, one is a Toshiba Satellite Intel Celeron M, processor 1.5 GHz, 192 MB of RAM; the other is a HP Geniune Intel CPU T1350 @ 1.86 GHz, 782 MHz, 504 MB of RAM.

Now on to my question. I'm having major problems with the Internet. First of all, I can't get either of them to connect wirelessly. It SAYS excellent signal, but when I try to get online, it says "cannot display webpage." I know this means its connecting to the router, but the router isn't connecting to the internet. I can, however, connect hardwire. I'm getting excellent receive/send specs. My browser takes at least 2 min to open up a webpage though. It loads extemely slowly when it does finally connect to the page. I've done everything I can think of to do, but I simply can't fix this problem. Any help would be extremely appreciated!!!! Thank you!

So, AT&T and Comcast both have pretty much the same $99 dollar /month bundle. Who's works better and are there any hidden fees for either that I should be worried about? Like, after 6 month does the price skyrocket or something. I would really appreciate honest answers from Chicagoians! Thanks in advance!!!

I have actually a couple questions.

1. I have a GeForce 6150SE Video Card. Yes, I know it's not good. I was wondering, would overclocking the card make my games look better/run smoother? It's just going to be until I can get a better card, hopefully in the near future.

2. If yes to the above question, how do I OC my card?

3. What are the negative effects of OC?

Best Answer to the person with the most detail.

I have about sixty songs on my computer. Well, I bought a movie and found out that we didn't have enough space, so it wouldn't download. My stepdad got rid of some things to free up space.

Unfortunately, he also accidentally got rid of something important. Now we can't connect to the internet. Which means I can't get to my songs.

So, is there anyway to get those songs? Like, by burning a CD or something? Anything?! Because I'm very upset, I have nearly $60 worth on that computer that I can't get to.

If it helps, my email is princessgreen@gmail.com

PLEASE HELP!

I am looking at buying a Dell laptop and plan to use it mostly for Word, but will probably add some photos and music. I do not plan on playing any games as I am not a big game player. Do I need to spend the money to upgrade the video card? Does the video card do anything besides make gaming better?

I just moved into an appartment on campus. We get free internet. I got a paper that says dont use bitcomet limewire bearshare etc on campus because you will get caught and go to jail. how valid is this? all I want to do is watch the office (yes we get free cable, but I want instant gratification) I really dont want to risk it if they monitor what I'm doing or will shut off my power and charge me for it or something.

Here's the deal. I have a homebuilt system that is teaching me as I go along. It's been about 2 years since I overhauled it, and I'm attempting to get a new video card to work in it.

System setup:
P4 2.8ghz processor (non dual or quad core)
2gigs RAM
550wt PowerLabs Power Supply
DVD Drive, 140Gig Texas Instruments HD, ect.

Old graphics card: ATI Raedon X800GT 256mb onboard ram.
New graphics card: nVidia GeForce 8600GTS, 512 mb DDR3 ram (both cards sit in the PCI slot).

Problem:
Ever since installing the new card, I'm having atrocious frame rates. I've installed multiple sets of drivers, I've reinstalled windows, I've called tech supports, ect. I am able to return the GeForce as defective.. but after I boxed it up I plugged inm y Raedon and the framerate problems are still persisting (albeit not as badly) so I'm not sure it's the card.. think ing it may be a power supply issue.

Does anyone have any recommendation on what I could do to turn this mess around? Thanks!

I just bought a new intel iMac that has a 1gb 5300 RAM module inside of it. I was wondering if it's possible to combine that with a 2gb 6400 RAM module, or if they both have to be either 5300 or 6400?

My cousin wants to set up a eBay account. She previously had one when she was at her mums address but due to Nigerian fraudsters she got it suspended. She tried opening another eBay account but couldn't do so with the same bank account details. She now has a new bank account, can she now open a new eBay account? If so can she open it in her mother's address or will the eBay account be once again closed? Is it just better to use her own address? Does it matter what address now that she has different bank details? Please help... Thanks in advance.

Although most trusted vendors claimed their sites are virus-, adware-, spam and spyware-free,
how else can they steal information from us when we try out free PC games and free software (trial version)?

Can they access the history folder of web pages visited or much more?

What software to use to protect a home PC?
