I wanted a clean slate on my computer, so I decided to format my laptop; a Dell Inspiron 6000.

I completely deleted all partitions, and then created one in the empty partition space (so Symantec backup is inaccessible). However, I am not sure which drivers to install to make my computer internet-accessible (ethernet controllers), nor do I know what sound card drivers and graphics/video/display drivers to download so that my computer will function as it was before.

I have a Dell Dimension ResourceCD [contents: Device drivers, Diagnostics and utilities, Computer documentation].
My format CD was a Windows XP Home Edition that came with my desktop computer (a 2400), which is what I used to format my laptop.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hiya,
I bought the new MS Office the other month, but lost the CD and case.

I've had my computer wiped due to a trojan and had to download office from the internet, but this version only has US dictionary which is really no use to me. Is there any kind of patch or update I can download to get UK dictionary installed as well or instead of the US?

Thank You,
Dominion_Vortar

a 12 bit register is split up such that 8 bits are used in fractional two's complement representaiton to represent sent the mantissa and the remaining 4 bits are used as an integer two complement representation for the exponent as follows

* * * * * * * * / * * * *
mantisa ^^ exponent ^^

using the register representation the following numbers in normalsied or standard form :

a)+1 b)+9 c)-3 d)-30 e)0.125 f)-0.015625

Not sure how to solve this i have an example of this but they give a number to the mantissa themselfs? ...

I've had this 19" LCD monitor for about a year now and starting 2 weeks ago the screen would become garbled up with weird graphics after having it on for about 5 minutes. The connection between the computer and LCD are snug so I don't believe it is a connection issue. I have traced the problem to something in the LCD monitor, but don't know how to fix it.

Sometimes the screen would turn green and have lines streaking all across it erratically. Then after a few seconds, it would return back to normal. Then it would fade to some weird colors again. I'm about ready to toss out that LCD, if it can't be fixed.

I'm guessing it's a hardware failure. A temporary workaround I've been using is to turn off the LCD for a couple of seconds, then turning it back on.

Any ideas?

Hi,

I have Windows XP Pro, and today when I got home, at about 10:45pm EST, I noticed my computer had restart, probably due to a storm and power outage, but when I left this morning, I left Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0 running because it takes a while to scan. However... When I tried to log on to my account at the XP logon screen, the characters of my password would appear very slowly, maybe 2 would pop up, then ten seconds later the third dot would pop up... even though I had typed my entire password, which is a total of 6 characters. When it finally finished, I hit enter as usual, and then it just froze... It continued to show the characters of my password there, but I could no longer move the mouse or type anything, and I tried waiting but nothing, even after 20 minutes... So, now I am in safe mode with networking typing this, and I was wondering if anyone else has experience this and knows hwo to fix it, or just out-right knows how to fix it... any info would be great, thanks!

I found the Rootkit, It was in my music files. So does that mean it was from a mp3 file? I need to know how to prevent from getting this or another one again. Does it have to do with my firewall, my anti-virus or my anti-spyware? Because I had 3 popular and supposebly reliable ones.

So my microsoft word 2007 seems to be locked. I was trying to finish a paper I was writing earlier in the week and now it won't let me add or change anything... not even type. I tried restarting my computer, but still no luck. I opened a new document and this is what it says: "this modification is not allowed because the selection is locked." I have windos vista (if that means anything). I have no idea how to fix this. Any ideas? Thanks.

When typing a document and I want to change the style, size, or color of the fonts, it changes back to what it was originally on before beginning the document and it takes numerous tries before it will set to my changes. Could I be doing something wrong, or is there information I am not aware of that I should do before clicking the changes.
