Right now I have a Nvidia Geforce FX 5200 graphics card with 128 mb in my graphics card slot. I have a PCI slot. NOT A PCI EXPRESS SLOT. What is the best PCI graphics card I can buy? Do they sell ones with 512mb video ram?

So, from what I've read on here, it's possible to go onto the administrator's account and install programs using safe mode.
I've heard you can restart the computer then click F8 on the computer that takes you to safe mode somehow.
That enables you to go onto the admin's account and install/download from there.
But after installing/downloading is complete, is it possible to go back to normal mode with the original admin password and everything?
If anything extra needs to be know, please ask.

I bought a Dell XPS 710 recently and I bought it with 2GB RAM. I decided to upgrade it and so I bought another 2GB RAM and added 1GB from my old XPS 600. When I run the setup from booting the screen clearly says I have 5GB installed. However when in windows VISTA running dxdiag I get told I only have 3GB running. Why is this when everything has been installed properly. Any advice welcome.

When I try to install AVG Antivirus 7.5 Free (build 503 10/19/2007) on my machine I get the following error:


Local machine: installation failed
Initialization:
Error: Checking of state of the item file avgqt.dat (D:\) failed.
The parameter is incorrect. (87) %PATH% = "D:\avgqt.dat"

I've tried multiple installs including in safe mode and I keep getting the same error. The install file is not corrupt, I checked.
I had AVG Antivirus 7.5 on my machine before and it worked great, but about a month ago my system crashed and I had to reimage. No luck since. I'm running XP Professional. If anyone could help I'd appreciate it.

I frequently play yahoo domino's and I have been using Mozilla firefox to do so. A couple days ago I ran into this problem where im being kicked off the games server. I think it might be due to some changes I made with Mozilla.

What I want to do is delete mozilla completely then reinstall the program. Im encountering some problems doing this.

when i delete mozilla then reinstall it, the history, the changes I made are still showing up in the mozilla i just downloaded.

Can you please help me with this?
