I used to pay for Norton Internet Security up to now....
Should I extend my service, or do you recommend some other free antivirus which is just as good?

I'm purchasing a PC system rig for Christmas from NewEgg. I want a high end system, but not TOO high that I'm punching holes in my wallet. I don't plan on overclocking anything. Feel free to offer better prices and especially point out any glaring inconsistencies you have between the components. This is what I have planned....

-ASUS P5E LGA 775 Intel X38 ATX (~$249.99)
-Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz LGA 775 (~$279.99)
-Radeon HD 2900 XT 512MB Asus DX10 (~$419.99)
-CORSAIR 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 533 SDRAM (~$49.99)

What I plan to recycle from my old system:

-450W Antec PSU (hey it's Antec, so that makes it stronger, right?
-Soundblaster Live! Audigy 2 ZS (Is this Direct 9x compatible?)
-Two 100 GB harddrives
-DVD and CD writer/reader

My ultimate question: Will all of this work alright? Does the CPU and video card compliment each other? What about the power supply -- is it adequate? Finally, what kind of cooling will be needed -- One fan? Two fans? Water cooling?

I'm trying to add more memory to my Inspiron 6000 laptop. It has two bays, and I currently have a 512 MB stick in each for a total of 1 GB. I just bought two new 1 GB sticks of the correct type and speed, to up my total to 2 GB. When I install the two new sticks, however, my computer freezes up while trying to boot into Windows Vista, on the loading screen with the scrolling bar. I know the RAM is good because if I install just one of either of the new 1 GB sticks and leave one of my memory bays open Windows loads up fine. I can also boot into safe mode with both new sticks installed. I have done a memory test with both new sticks installed and they passed.

Help is appreciated!

I recently added a wireless keyboard and mouse on my desktop PC. Now, my screensaver won't come on! I've tried re-doing the settings and still nothing. Could it be something to do with the wireless keyboard and mouse? The screensaver would always come on after 5 mins. Any suggestions would be so great! Thanks!

Okay so im a tad bit confused. Im sorry if this question is not a good one for this site but im really confused.

There is this website, we will call it "Website Cool". Website Cool offers an affiliate program to its users using links. (refferal links) for every 1 person you refer to sign up for "Website Cool"you get $1 cash. Keep in mind, "Website Cool" is a FREE website, unless you choose to buy virtual money to spend throught the site to gain access to more features however 80% of "Website Cool" is free.

NOW HERES THE TWIST:

Spamming is not promoted by Website Cool, however near all of its users use this tactic to sign up peopel to refer them to join. My friend (we will call him "Bruce") "Bruce" found a loophole. Bruce found that by using internet proxy sites to surf the web anonymously. * WHICH ARE LEGAL AND FREE * he can create accounts practically unlimitedly without having to spam and break the websites term of service. Thus gaining Bruce $1 per every time he creates a account

It was in the USB port when I accidentally ran into the computer (smart, I know) and the tip of the flash drive became crooked. I pushed it back so it was straight again, but now it doesn't work anymore. It doesn't show up on my computer, and the light doesn't flash either.

Does anyone have ideas on how to fix it? 10 points to first person with an answer the works. Thanks so much! :)

Hi. I'm building my first web page ever - total newb, I know - and I may want to publish / add stuff to my root directory using ftp. Angelfire didn't give me an ftp address when I signed on, though, and the help section seems quite lifeless. Anyone know how I can figure out or create my ftp address?

Hi. My cd-dvd drive is not recognizing that I put a disk on the tray. It doesnt give me that option box that lets you choose if you want to "play" or "copy" the CD. Nothing happens, like there isnt a disk in the tray. I've tried going thru windows media player, using a DVD playing program, no programs are recognizing any disk I use, DVD or CD.

Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to have a gigabit router and network card, but I can't find a cable router with a gigabit connection. I would think it would make sense.

I am trying to do my class assignment and the file I need in microsoft access keep saying the same error message and I cannot do my assignment without opening it help please

file is located outside your intranet or on an untrusted site. Microsoft will not open the file due to potential security problems.
it says to open the file copy it to your machine or an accessible network location. and the only button to click is ok.
Once I click it then it just closes.

I'm running on a cruddy old Emachines Media Center PC, T3096. The card is a Nvidia GeForce4 Mx Integrated.

When I open the display and click on the adapter properties, it says I have a PCI card. But then, when I go to the Nvidia Geforce menu or w/e it's called, it says "Bus: AGP 4x"

So I'm confused as to which type of video card I should buy. I have about $120 to work with. Please help!
