How can I get rid of the free trial and have my computer revert back to XP? I clicked on restore to a previous version of windows when I loaded up my computer but it asks me for an administrator password. I typed in my pass to get into windows and it was not valid. PLEASE HELP!

I have Bellsouth DSL at 10mbps but is it always on? The reason I ask is because everytime I turn on my computer, I still have to click Bellsouth dsl and sign in. Of course, the sign in does only take like a second but I thought all types of broadband internet were literally "always on".

I have a Dell Inspiron 8600. Just a week ago, I noticed a random purple line going vertically down the screen, it appears over everything (browsers and so on). I didn't think much of it, until a yellow line showed up. Now there are six lines, from purple to yellow. They're thin lines, so I can still see what I'm doing, but I'm afraid that they will eventually fill the screen. How can I fix this? What causes this so that I can prevent it?

Hey guys,
CPU-Z, Everest and any other computer-analyzing program read that my OCZ DDR2-6400 800MHZ CL4 Platinum rev 2.2
is actually running at cl5? (is that possible?) is the reading misinterpreted ? I checked the bios, it says CL5, but the ram I bought is CL4,
advertised as CL4 and also says so on the box of the ram itself.

In almost of all the program I see a chart that says something like this:
267MHZCL3
333MHZCL4
400MHZCL5

(WHY do they false advertise then if this is true?)

Is it safe to change the ram from 5-5-5-15 to 4-4-4-12?
(it was advertised as such, so it should be safe?) - and if I do that, should I increase the voltage (by 0.1v?, i think it runs on 1.8) or let the motherboard use it's Auto settings with the voltages (Mobo: GA965PDS3).

Question about the CPU FSB:
If I up my fsb to 333 and lower my multiplier to 7 (keeping the same exact 2400MHZ) - will that count as overclocking and break my warranty?
I just want to increase my fsb to 1333 (my motherboard supports it).

I recently located an old Windows 98 SE and I wanted to hook it up to the internet at our house. I have DSL and I have an old modem with the installation CD. I tried to install the drivers for the modem, but at the end it says it cannot receive a DSL signal (the light on it won't light up). I checked the phone line and used different ones, but nothing happened. I am using the splitter and ethernet hook-ups with no router.

So I was wondering if there is a special way to hook up multiple PC's on the same DSL line?

I have an old Packard Bell Computer Model A940-3X3 and was wondering if someone could tell me all about it.

I want to give it away and would like to be able to tell the folks a bit about it.

It's pretty old, but it says Pentium on the front.....probably a P1 if there was such a thing.

It does have a CD ROM and a Floppy disk....and it works.

This is a refined version of a question I asked yesterday.

The database in question is for a movie theatre's web site. The company has multiple locations.

Movies table lists all of the movies with relevant data like cast, rating, run time, etc. Each location can play each movie.

Theatre table lists each movie theatre with info like address and phone number

Dates table lists the opening and ending date for each movie at each theatre. The dates are not necessarily the same for each theatre.

Times table lists movie id, theatre id, time start date, time end date, time, auditorium number. Each individual time is a single record, for example:
theatre 1, movie 1, friday, sunday, 1:00, aud 1
theatre 1, movie 1, friday, sunday, 3:00, aud 1
theatre 2, movie 2, friday, sunday, 1:00, aud 3

When dealing with multiple prints (copies) of a movie at the same theatre I just add additional records to the show times table with a different auditorium number. More in the added detail.

I am a PC gamer. I currently have a problem with my graphics card and I am hopeful that someone can help me answer my question.

I have a Radeon X1950Pro AGP graphics card with 512MB RAM. Everytime I play a graphics-intensive game (like S.T.A.L.K.E.R.), my whole computer locks up. I have to manually turn off the PC. Is there some kind of glitch with the Radeon X1950Pro cards to where they can only handle up to a certain load and then freeze up or what's the deal? I have been trying to figure out this problem and have even posted in the ATI forums but nobody has even bothered to try to answer my question. I know it's not overheating because the stock fan and heat sink work really well. It has to be something software related. I am using an older driver version cuz the newer ones were crippling my card's performance and causing it to do the same thing: lock up mid-game. Can someone please help me solve this problem or at least tell me why the card is doing that? Could it be the drivers?
