Computers & Internet - 3 October 2007

I have a VGA and USB Wallplate connection behind my TV and in other locations in the house. This is to allow me to use my PC (which is located in another room) as a monitor and home entertainment purposes throughout the house. The VGA is working no problems there but the USB is not. With no way of accessing the cable for the USB i know have to look at what is left which is the Cat 5 cable also at each point. I noticed that you can buy Cat 5 to USB extenders and i am wondering if they are any good.

I'm not sure what had caused this problem, I've performed a disk check ,it seem fine. It worked flawlessly fast, I have a 2 gb ram.. Usually when it crash ,the following apps are running : iTUnes, Finder, Photoshop cs3, Adium ,Safari ..The song would eventually freeze and hang for a few seconds then the screen turned black then restarted.
I re-logged in to OS X and there seem to be no crash reporter dialog or anything, everything seem to be so fine and that the system did not notice anything. what's going on here?

I hate Open Office. Too complicated, can't make it work so deleted it. Lost Windows Works when my motherboard fried, but loved the program. Want to write a friend a letter to copy off and mail. What can I use that's simple and doesn't take up take up so much space, like Open Office did?

I am a poor college student. I purchased Microsoft Office, which I could barely afford. I bought it from a website that is now gone. One day when I attempted to do an online update, it said that my copy was un-Authentic and that I needed to send my CD’s to Microsoft in exchange for an Authentic copy, for free. So I send this to them along with my sales receipt. A few months later, I receive a letter from Microsoft saying that they decided to keep my CD’s, not replace them with new ones, that I should purchase a new one, and that they appreciate my assistance in helping to stop software piracy. Well now I am out lots of money, am out this software, and Microsoft is being arrogant. I am completely lost on this issue. What in the world can I do? It was always my intention to be honest and pay for this software, but Bill Gate's company doesn't seem to care about that.

The left hand mouse button is a bit resistant, if you make a light click it doesn't work you have to press heavily. I have tried blowing through to clear any fluff or dust... Should I try with something else or is it nearing retiurement age?

I'm just wondering since I use more devices than what is thought to be the average user.

I do fine with computers, but hardware definitely isn't my strength. I do ok with programs, but I'm pretty much ignorant about hardware.

So I'm wondering if more hardware = more heat. Please forgive my ignorance.

I've added a number of other hardware items to my comp... Do I need an extra fan for additional cooling?
