Computers & Internet - 27 September 2007

Here's the story bought a new NVidia GeForce FX5200 about two months ago and installed it and everything worked great for about a month. Then on Labor Day i got a problem with my PC. Message saying "IRQ L less than or not equal to" After that i re-installed windows and then it was good for about a week. Then after that it stopped working The IRQ L message always popped up. Had to go to get it rapaired. The guy at the computer shop puts in a new motherboard and a new power supply box. He told me not to put the video card because the motherboard will overheat and not work. The video card is in perfect condition and i Don't know whether to listen to him or not or what should i do. I need expert advise.

I've created a menu with drop downs in Macromedia Fireworks, but when I center it in Dreamweaver 8 and roll over the button the drop down part doesn't center, it stays as if the menu is still aligned to the default left ? So basically the drop down bit appear under the wrong buttons.

Help !!

Can anyone tell me how to unblock all my msn contacts, who somehow have got blocked.
I`ve done the `allow these contacts` via/tools/safely - but they still remain blocked.
Not totally...I can still IM with them, and they can see me on my webcam, but I can`t see or hear them (there is that red `blocked` circle over their names.
I have contacted msn help, but the advice they sent didn`t resolve the problem.
I am using windows vista ultimate.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I need a computer that can handle Game Design & Programming, but I don't know what hardware the computer should have regarding HD space, memory, processor speed, video & sound cards? Also, what brand name should I trust? Overall, I'm wondering what brands & hard ware would best suit my needs. I saw an HP Pavillion Media Center Desktop (Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Q6600, 3 GB RAM, 640 GB Hard Drive) for just under $1200 (on Amazon). I'm not sure if this is overkill or if the Quad Processor fits my needs - or will a Dual Core will be enough - I don't want something that'll cause delays as I try to test games I design & my husband feels a HD with 250 GB's is more than enough. Any help? I refuse to use Dell's, I've had terrible experiences w/them. I am on a budget, which makes a package system that's upgradable seems the best route to me. I'd like it to last for at least three years without dying on me. Advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi, I burned a dvd with jpegs on my PC and cannot play it on any of my dvd players that are hooked up to my tvs. One of my dvd players will play cds that have jpegs but none will play the dvd. I used Sonic to burn the dvd. Is Sonic the problem or do I need different dvd players to play a finalized dvd burned from the computer?

Thanks,
Amy

I have a huge excel document, and I want to limit the view, so that I only see rows that contain a certain word ("ABCD") somewhere within these row (potentially at any spot in the row, like the beginning, the ending, etc).
How can I restrict the view so that only the rows with "ABCD" are displayed and the other rows all all hidden?
Thanks.
