I purchased a router. I hooked up two computers. Everything is fine until I try to watch streaming videos. It doesn't matter what the source (yahoo video clips, nbc.com, movies on the web), whenever I have both computers hooked up and try to watch streaming video clips, they play for 30 seconds, then they freeze up. When I disconnect the router, and only have one computer hooked up to the DSL, everything is fine.

Why does this happen and how can I fix it.

This is the fourth revision of this question. I hope I have all the details this time.

If I upgrade my windows to Vista from 2000, will the Trojan virus that is on my computer still be there or will it also be deleted with all the other files? And will it be on the files that I backup? Thanks!

I want to write a code that will cause a folder or software to self-destruct within a week or so if a password is not entered. The file I would like to attach this code would be a normal excel, word, etc.. format.

Are there prewriten programs out there that will do this or do I need to write a code? Please help.

Just got this HPpavillion and it came with windows vista. Problem is im having trouble with my internet connection when I try to surf it's really slow and most the time it just drops the page and gives me "Navigation error" page like if I was disconnected. When opening a webpage with imagine it d/l's a few of the and the rest come out as "x". Most the time it won't let me open google or any other webpage. Im using 2wire DSL modem w/ 1gig connection but its still slow browsing and downloading. Can't seem to fix this problem even tried all the procedures posted everywere such as deactivating IP/TCP setting on connection and hasn't worked either. Also have deactivated firewall and nothing. Any help with this problem will be greatly appriciated, thanks.

I can't find a video driver that will work with it. Can anyone either tell me where I can find a video driver for the ATI Radeon X300 which is built into the Dell Latitude D610 which will work for Windows 98 or even point me to where I can get an answer to a technical question like this if not here. The Windows XP/2000 driver from Dell refuses to install on Win98 OS. There are a lot of old programs which will not run on XP that I want to use it for (it's not for internet connectivity so security is not an issue)

I am buying a custom machine from ibuypower.com

Is it worth it to buy the 8800 GTX ultra x2??

Will this improve my gaming performance at all or will it run the same as 1 card? I am looking for gaming performance not multitasking.. So basically the question is, will 2 video cards help out my framerate over 1 video card? And is the 2x Videocard thing just for two monitors or is it for performance... Thank you all answers appreciated!!!

Ok I am buying a gaming computer that is custom. Now, I have to make a trade off. It is either the Intel QX6850 Quad processor and the GeForce 8800 Ultra Video Card.......OR.......The Intel E6850 Dual processor and 2 8800 ultra video cards. Which is the better pick?? Thank you! All answers highly appreciated!!! Remember this is for gaming not multitasking. Also, keep Flight Simulator X in mind.....

I got a Compaq Presario in February 2007. I have accidentally dropped it or stepped on it and now the screen is cracked. I call the company from where I bought the computer but they said that the insurance won't cover the damages. For how much can I sell it? Also, are there any websites where I can buy the screen for cheap? Or is there a place that fixes screens for cheap?

Thanks,

I have a 19" LCD Monitor, this one...

http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0665000FS10089660&catid=22334&logon=&langid=EN

My video card is the ATI Radeon X1650 PRO 512MB AGP...

On the box it says that these are the external connections...

5-pin D-Shell (female) VGA output
DVI-I Output

TV-Out with S-Video Connector (TV-Out Version)
VIVO with S-Video Connector
HDTV Display Support

Anyways, in the box is a coord that could go into the classical keyboard/mouse slot, not the usb one, the one with like 7 pins. The wire then leads to 3 colored wires with holes in them, that my Wii yellow, red and white coords could fit into.

Not sure what all this mess is, but is it possible to hook my Wii up to my LCD Monitor?

I know you can do it if you connect a wire to your computer and then another wire to the 360 but i'm not sure if you can/how you can connect it when you have a wireless connection.
