I have tried blank CD-R's (52xcompatible 700mb) but these only burn music. Can you tell me a specific disc I can buy to use in windows media. I have limewire and have downloaded films through this. I just need a compatible disc. I am using windows xp and have windows media 11 installed.

It can be working fine one minute, speed okay and you don't have to be on the internet and it will freeze for no reason - it gets very annoying when you have to start it up all over again, and especially if you are in the middle of typing up a document!!!

It is the ORIGINAL program on my computer(this is how it came fresh out of the box).

Can I change it to an XP?

Why or why not?

How do you know this?

I have a PDF file and I want to be able to type/enter on to but it is not letting me. I know I am unable to save what I type on it. It says it's allowing me but I still can't type on it. Can anyone help me with this? The properties are the same as another PDF file that I have and I can type/enter on to that one. Any suggestions?

My computer boots up normally and then goes for approximately 10/15 mins (if i am lucky). The case fan and CPU fan both turm off and the cpu gets hotter. Eventually the computer just turns off presumably because its too hot, does anyone know why and how to fix it? I have replaced the fans and PSU already but neither have any effect.

+5 V Standby 5.12 V
VBAT Battery 3.66 V


I am mainly concerned because i "made" this PSU with a friend of mine which means i put my own silent fans instead of the default ones and cut what we did not need and added what there was a need for.

The thing is that after 1.5years my computer is starting to act up weird occasionally. It just freezes and I have to reset.
There is no set time on when it freezes, it just does whenever it feels like but never manages to stay on for more than 2 days.
Maybe its time to get a proper PSU?


The temps are quite cool.

Right well, I know you're probably getting tired of me asking stuff about myspace, but yeah, how can I put a song into a code form so it'll play on a myspace bulletin?

the geek squad didn't even backup my data. my compaq laptop's connector pin is broke and it needs to be fixed. so I bought a new computer. I needed my files from the compaq to be uploaded on the new one (toshiba satellite).

what materials do I need to do it myself? is it hard?

geek squad charged me $99 and I don't want to go back up there for them to waste my time. they could've done it the first time.

I am having consistant top cover jams, it happens every time i try to print something. it seems to get stuck under the toner cartridge everytime. i checked the roller, and it seems fine. I don't think its a sensor, but i could be wrong. this is the first time i've attempted to fix a printer. any suggestions?

It's an Athlon 2.2 Ghz dual processor with 1024 GB RAM and a Radeon X1650 graphics card. The guy at the computer shop assured me it would run my sims 2 and settlers games. So far so good, but the sims is still a bit slow. At least it doesn't crash anymore. BTW, getting to grips with Vista was quite an ordeal and reloading all my software like giving birth to a new baby. But it's just about done!

My old computer was a windows 2000. I decided to trash my old computer and get two new computers (college student is the reason) I bought an XP laptop and a Vista desktop. I have had them both about three months. When I realized that I wanted to scan something I noticed that Id lost the installation cd. It could have very well been thrown out with the old computer by mistake. I have been told that installation disks werent always needed for things like printers and cameras and things. I tried connecting my printer to the vista first. It said recognized new printer HP 1410 at the bottom of the screen but when I tried to use it it wouldnt work. I then tried to hook it up to the XP. It right away asked for the installation disk. The scanner/printer isnt even a good year old yet but Im really good at getting rid of everything that comes with things like this (foolishly thinking its nothing but clutter) so I cant even find the manual that would help me figure out what to do. Help if you can

.. I've read that the 3200 will be reduced to the 2100 speed when both are installed together.

My question is, would it be better to have the 1gb+256mb running at pc2100 ---- or ----- 1gb running at pc3200 ??

So I'm connecting my hope computer to my company's VPN and also outlook exchange.However It's downlaoding all my e-mails from the server and not synchronizing......just deleting them from the main server.

How do I get it to synchronize? I know there is a way, because I did it to my lap top.....but that was long time ago..... Help!!! hahaha....


Keep in mind this is an exchange server account...not your typical pop 3... I don't have the option to click the check box that states "Keep e-mail on server" like a pop 3 accoutn does.

if you need to talk to me in detail with it...my e-mail is
