I have an HP laptop computer, I keep getting an error message telling me I have only 5% free space. The problem is this, I can't find what is taking up all the space. It is a 60GB, I have 8 GB in music and 3GB in movies and 1GB in photos. I was told to erase all of these but that is not what is taking up all the space. I have cleared all old programs that have not been used this year. I have deleted all old documents. And when I try to run the Defragmenter, I get a message that says I need at least 15 % free to run it, so it tells me to delete stuff off the hard drive and try again. I really need help to determine what I need to delete to give me more space. I had like 80% free just a few months ago, I have not downloaded anything but a few songs, any help would be great.

I am trying to build a computer. All the parts are new. I have an ABIT AG8 motherboard, which does not have an integrated graphics card. For that reason I also have a separate graphics card. I know i still have to set the BIOS up but I can never get a picture on the screen.

I have already taken everything apart and put it back together. I checked for any compatability issues and there were none. All power cords are attached. But I still do not get any picture on the monitor. Please help.

is it worth buying a directx 10 compatible graphics card (for example the geforce 8600gt) , or is it better to spend the same amount of money on a more powerful (non directx10) graphics card, for example the geforce7900 or the ati x1950pro?

i have vista, but i prefer to use xp. what advantages would using a directx 10 card give me?

thank you

I recently installed Tiger on my mac G4 800Mhz (768 MB RAM) and started using the system for home use. For some reason the performance is terrible. I am not sure if it has to do with some of the software that I have removed (ProTools) and recently installed (OpenOffice), but it takes a good 5-10 seconds to open apps and do anything. Is there a utility I can run to see if the CPU and RAM is being maxed out or is it an issue with Tiger?

I'm working on a Gateway computer (probably an Essential 700C since it has a 700 MHz Celeron processor). When I turn it on, both the green and amber lights in the power button come on and stay on. There are no audible beeps. The floppy drive's light doesn't come on, but the CD drive light comes on for a few seconds. The monitor doesn't seem to be receiving anything, and none of the keyboard lights come on and neither does the optical mouse.

Swapping out the hard drive seemed to make no difference. I put in a new power supply but the symptoms are the same. The old supply was very dusty and I wonder if the processor overheated.

Possibly helpful details are that the keyboard and mouse both have USB interfaces (there are no PS/2 connections available), the graphics are integrated into the motherboard, it had 512 megs of RAM, and it was running Windows Me.

Even the most basic suggestions or comments are welcome.

For some bizzar reason my partner copyed an entire CD with a newer version of windows XP over on to our computer instead of installing the XP from the CD. After doing this it now keeps prompting me to delete files from my C drive the hard drive is full there is no free space. It wont now let me log on to the computer only in safe mode. When i get into safe mode to delete the XP files copied over, i can not find them. when i right clicked C drive to view the hard drive it is completelly full. Please help i dont know what to do. I can not access my computer, it wont let me, it only says free up space from your C drive of which i cant get to. Should i delete every thing from the computer and start again with installing everything from new, as in windows EX? if so how do i do this. Thank you to anyone that can help me x
