Did you find it easy? Did you feel it was a natural thing for you to do? Or did you think it was a high-tech thing it actually frightened you?

I asked this question before but forgot to mention some details. I do not have an OS installed. I don't have any partitions. I have formatted my drive and it now says this.

Size 149.05GB

Used 0.00GB

Unused 149.05GB



And there is a sticker on the front of my computer that says 160GB 7200 RPM Hard Drive.

I couldn't find one, but maybe i'm just not looking in the right place. It doesn't have to be the latest version, as long i can just try out photoshop elements before i actually buy it.

Hello,
I was recently messing around with my network connections in order to network all of my computers together. I never got it to work so I just gave up, however, when I tried to connect my laptop to the internet, i couldn't. All my other computers can connect to the internet just fine and when i plug an ethernet cable in, my laptop can also connect just fine. and my wireless tells me I am connected to the network, however I am sending packets but not receiving any... I have tried almost everything, resetting the router, disabling all firewalls, ect. and I am just all out of ideas. Please any help would be greatly appreciated as i have been working at this for over an hour now, and im getting very frustrated!!!

I am trying to install The Sims 2 Deluxe, however when I insert the disk my computer won't recognize it. My computer WILL recognise other CD/DVD programs as well as normal CDs.

I have a eMachine T2341, with Windows XP. The Sims game is made for windows computers. Also, the game will work in my sister's laptop. Do you have ANY idea what the problem is, I really want this game to work.

I just purchased a dell ispiron 1521, and am still in the process of getting everything set the way I like, I have a few questions and would appreciate some legitimate help. My laptop has vista on it, which is fun to figure out, i remember hearing that you can get any open windows to do a sort of rotation thing. I'm not sure if that makes sense, but if anyone knows what i mean that would be great. I have dsl at home and my dad has it set up through a router or modem or something i'm not sure, but i'm going to take it to cafes and places or work to get homework done. At work we don't have wifi and there aren't any local unsecure networks i could tap into, would i be able to bring a router with me? and set it up through that, i heard something about being able to use ethernet places. Again, i'm kind of a computer idiot, any ideas let me know. thanks
