I hate having this big computer desk in my living room. I really do not use the computer for other than interneting and playing online games. Not into creating or burning anything. I do however load pics from the digital.

In regards to a laptop, don't require the portability, so that is not an issue, I just would sit in on the couch with it.
My question is, I have high speed internet (roadrunner). I would have to keep the laptop close to that for the connection but that is not an issue as the desktop is stationary anyway.

What about batteries or does it run off electric also? I do have a printer, scanner that I do use on occasion, but could hook that up as needed and store it on a shelf if I am not using it.

I am completely computer stupid, so any advise or words of wisdom would be appreciated.

Hello,
I recently purchased Adobe Flash 9 (CS3) and discovered that it requires Windows XP with Service Pack 2. (Yes, I realize it will also work with Apple's OSX, but I'm not a Mac user). I am currently using Windows 2000 Professional, SP4. I have access to Windows XP Pro SP2 and Vista (though I think I need to purchase a new computer if I plan on running Vista), but I'm just perplexed as to why I need to upgrade? What does WinXP provide that Win2K doesn't (in terms of Flash requirements). I feel like they're just adding arbitrary requirements. Any comments?

I am looking for a specific hard drive enclosure. I really like the sleak appearance of the Vanec EZ Swap. Plus I want my hard drive to be using an empty 5.25" bay in my tower. ( http://www.vantecusa.com/p_mrk200st.html ). This is what I want though. I want to be able to take the Hard drive out of the tower and be able to use a firewire, usb etc. on any other computer that I take it to. Then, when I am finished, I can slide the hard drive back into my tower and lock it up. I can't find one that has the usb and firewire connections on the back after I take it out of the tower. I also want tit to have a digital display on the front. is there anything like this?

Thank you everyone for your help.

I got this cool USB drive in a package of CD's purchased from Staples. When I plug it in, it's asking for drivers, usually, well at least they are supposed to be on the USB drive itself but for some reason they aren't.. anyone know who makes it, or know where I can find the driver?

I have a new Windows Vista Home Premium that came with a free McAfee trial. Now that it's over, a window on the bottom right-hand corner keeps popping up. The only two options on the window are "Update Subscription" and "Remind me later". There is no "Do not show this window again" button.
How do I deal with this?

Hi, I have a wireless mouse keyboard combo from Logitech, the keyboard works great still, but the mouse will no linger work when replacing batteries. I know it a problem with the mouse alone, like the connectors, but I tried extending them, so it would make good contact, but that didnt work. Any other possible solutions to fixing the mouse?
