Computers & Internet - 23 November 2007

I recently was sent a number of scanned articles that I would like to turn into a searchable pdf using Adobe Acrobat Professional for Mac. The files I was sent are all saved as .tiff and jpeg files. Can someone tell me the best way to create a searchable document?

thanks

I've heard about a wifi card that you can purchase to get signals from the internet without having to pay. Is this true and if so how does it work and where can I buy it?

I need to buy a new laptop battery for my Dell Inspiron 9300 and the batteries on the Dell website are expensive and was wondering if there was another reliable website where I can purchase a new battery and adapter. And how do you know if a website really does sell OEM parts?

Need help on how I can install my homenetwork to meet my requirements listed below:

Here are the knowns:;

1. 2 story house with a basement.
2. Cable modem comes into a closet in the basement.
3. All rooms have Cat5 and cable running that terminate in the same closet as the cable modem.

I want to achieve the following:

1. 2 PCs, NAS and a network printer in the 1st floor den that need to be hardwired into the network.
2. Also have 2 Tivos and 2 notebook computers that connect wirelessly so need to have a wireless access point in a central area, ideally the 1st floor.
3. Have a Slingbox on the 1st floor family room which require a hardwire connection to the network.

Most importantly, I want all the devices on a single network so they could all see each other.

I am confused between a switch, router and access point and what combination I should install them to achieve a single network with both wireless and hardwired connections.

Thank you in advance for your help.

I'm running a HP Pavilion a1520n with:
- AMD Athlon X2 Dual-Core 3800+ @ 2.0GHz
- 1 GB DDR2-SDRAM
- 300W Power Supply
- GeForce 6150 LE

I want to upgrade my card so I can play some new games, such as Unreal Tournament 3. I've been looking into the 8000 series from nVidia and was wondering... which should I buy? I know the 8600GT is better than tha 8500GT, but can my power supply run the 8600? Also, are any of the 7000 series options a better choice for me? Appreciate any help. Thanks

I only have 20% left on my C drive. Should I use "defragment"? What would happen if I did that? Would lose some files?

my friend has one of those slim line HP computers, and they leave it on all the time. well recently they went to use it and the screen was black and stayed black, so they held the power button in to turn it off and now it won't turn back on. i tried to go through it, cleaned it out, and looked for anything that might have caused it but didn't find anything. there was a jumper to clear the CMOS, but i didn't want to mess with that till i knew exactly what it did. the computer is running Windows XP Media Center edition 2005. any tips or ideas on what the problem might be would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

I have a USB microphone and the Type-A connector broke. Can I replace that adapter by splicing on a new one?

I'm essentially trying to avoid having to buy a whole new mirophone. It seems to me that since you can replace the adapters on Cat-5 cables, etc that you should be able to do this with a USB cable too for cheap.

The adapter is a type A adapter. On the other end is the microphone. There are no connectors inbetween.

Hi Everyone:
I'm trying to setup a wireless network through D-Link's Router (DI-624 ver. C) and having some problems. I got the router at a garage sale and I know I have all of the wires connected, but when I use the network setup, it says I'm not connected to the Internet. I tried to log onto 192.168.0.1 and change the setting, but I cannot log on. What do I do? Are the settings from the previous user still set, so am I screwed? Thanks for your help!

I am a complete and utterly useless person on the computer. Somehow I got a 'log trace' on my computer and I keep trying to delete it off my computer but to no avail.

So I did a little research and there is a way to resolve my problem. The answer is listed below:

YEP I KILLED IT!!!
I downloaded tracelo_-setup.exe
Used the command: tracelog -x at the command line.
And finally deleted the trace.log
Rebooted to check if it wasn't restored and I haven't seen it anymore.

MY QUESTION: Where do I find this 'command line'? Where do I type the listed information above to resolve my problem?

Thanks in advance!

I just dont understand whyy the DSl or cable internet providers wont offer me fast internet, when they offer the people less than a half mile down the road dsl and cable.
Everytime i check the availability, they say that there are no servers in my area, and they will let me know when it will be available in my area.
They havent contacted me yet., and i dont expect them to.
What can i do to obtain dsl or cable internet here?
Should i just call and call and call and call them, till it pisses them off enough to where they will come and run the damn lines????
It really makes me mad when they do this kinda stuff.
If anyone has any advice, pleasseeeeee let me knoww, thankss

Ok, we all know that UPS are expensive as it is. And every 2-3 years you have to change the battery.

I have an APC BE325 which is a 325VA. The battery is a 12V 3Ah. There is no link to a computer so no software to test the battery or limit the use of different battery.

So I wanted to know is that could I put a car or marine battery in it to increase the backup power since they are both 12V. And is there anything to be concern about before doing that?
