Computers & Internet - 20 November 2007

I went from dial up to wireless internet connection. This is all that has changed but now when I download something it will not install or save. In yahoo mail it will download the pictures that are attached but will not open and save. My Yahoo messenger was acting up so I uninstalled it and downloaded it again but it never will go into the installation & setup program. I went to the Microsoft site and downloaded an update to Office. It downloaded and went through the installer..What do I need to do now?

Ok, I've already looked at all my options, but I'm afraid they are very limited. I can't get dsl or cable, and sattelite is way to expensive for me. I've heard that broadband cards only work well in big cities, but I want to know how much better do they work in rural areas compared to dialup. I get a pretty good cell phone reception where I live, and I don't know if this tells you anything or not, but the mobile web on my phone loads pretty fast, and I can stream video clips as well, I can barely do that with the dial up. Please help, am I stuck with crappy dial up forever?

Model: HP m7470n XP Media Center Edition

My PC won't load at all, no even to the BIOS screen. It will say "No VGA Input" or something on the monitor, then "Recommended settings: 1024x748 60MHz"

The PC beep code is a 1 second beep, then another 1 second beep after a half a second pause. I don't know what that error code is for anymore.

I've tried powering up with only the power supply cord in, but it still won't boot.

Thanks for any help/suggestions!

I'm a busy college student, so my laptop gets a lot of wear and tear.

I'm noticing it's all crumby and dusty and smudgy, so what's the best (and safest) way to get it clean? I have a feeling the dishwasher might be a bad idea... ;-P

Thanks a bunch!

my computer/monitor has problems turning on.
i have a custom built computer. specs:
amd64 3800 x2 am2 65w
GIGABYTE GA-M55plus-S3G AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6100 Mobo
GeForce 7600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI-e x16
500w apevia power supply
CORSAIR XMS2 (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel
1 dvdrom
1 dvd+/- R with lightscribe
no floppy
30gig ide harddrive with windows xp pro
120 gig ide for data
500 gig sata for data

every time i turn on the computer, the dvdrom drives will spinclick with or without any cd/dvd inside it and until it stops clicking, the monitor will either turn on or it doesnt. if i'm lucky, it'll click a couple of times then the monitor will turn on. if it doesnt, i have to re-seat the video card and try again until there is video on the monitor. monitor works fine cuz i replaced it twice. i'm not sure how to fix this. sometimes it'll work right off the bat without re-seating the video, sometimes it'll take 1-50 times.

Hey, I was going to buy another gig of ram for my computer and was wondering if it matters whether or not if I buy two single modules of ram or buy a dual channel kit.

This seems like a dumb question, but with computers, there is never a dumb question...

I have 4 PCs and 4 monitors. I want to use one keyboard and one mouse to control all 4, but I still need to have all 4 monitors available for viewing at the same time. I can still use a standard KVM switch and just not utilize the video switching portion...right?
