Is there any website I can go to so I can change the color of my start bar? I know Zune has one that changes it to black, with the start button being orange. I don't want anything weird, just a little different colors.

Seems that Virus & Spyware programs can find the viruses,programs, etc, but if they are running or in memory, even though the programs tell you where the culprit is, you can't delete them as you get warning messages that program is in use. Is there any program that can find them, reboot the machine and then get rid of them before WIndows boots up again.

So I have a video that's in .rm format and I know the video is fine, aka not corrupted. But everytime I try to start the video it says "a general error has occured" and won't start playback, is there some codec or something that I need? Any help is appreciated.

I have tried putting the volume high to clicking the picture of the speaker @ the bottom right corner on my main screen. To check if they are all on. I see the green level going up & down but nothing is coming out of the speakers. They were working fine yesterday.

Is it at all possible for one field in MS Spreadsheet to link to a location on your computer?

For example, one cell says "Vacation in Florida" - can you make it so that if you click on that box, it takes you right to the folder or document that it's about?

Please answer... I'll give ya ten points! :)

Going to buy new computer over internet. I heard bad stories about vista. Like requires alot of memory, old programs don't work, old hardware problems etc. My question. Should i go with vista or windows xp professional. I'm thinking windows xp professional seeing how they offer it. Finally which processor Intel duo 6750 or quad 6600. Quad is more so i'm thinking 6750. Finally plan on going with 2 gb and 500mb harddrive. Oh they do offer windows xp media if i wanted that.

I just got a new ram; a Kingston ValueRam 1GB DDR PC3200 333MHz/400MHz. After I got back on the computer, I checked to see the ram was installed properly. And yes, I saw the correct ram upgrade. A few hours later, my system would reboot on its own, and after that I disabled the "reboot on error" option, and got an error message the next time my system crashed. I did some research and obviously, the problem was the ram. I am currently testing the ram, working on it alone (which is working great so far), and I am hoping to see if anyone had any answers for this. Is it the socket's problem? I read on a forum that the socket might be a faulty. Others say its the ram's fault, and I don't know what to believe. Ram is working, it shows on "My Computer" properties, but my computer crashes! Please, some advice, tips, anything I didn't mention here.

I've got Vista running and I've just put a further 4 gigs of ram into two of the four slots of my motherboard to give me, in theory, 6 gigs of ram. In windows it tells me there's just over 3 gigs of ram whereas the bios tells me there's the full 6. I've run two memory tests on the ram and it tells me its all okay.

Is vista making a mistake and has anyone else experienced this? And will it only use the RAM it knows about?

So i've been downloading a bunch of music lately, and according to the downloader, most of the stuff being downloaded was going at a pace of betweem 50-100 kbs on average.

However, i have bellsouth DSL Ultra, and according to this website - http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ my internet has a download speed of 3130 kbs

If my internet is cable of 3130 kbs, than why is it downloading at only 50-100 kbs?

Any advice is appreciated.

i sent my computer away to get cleaned and fixed, and when we got it back it seemed to be working good, but then i downloaded a game that i had had on my computer before but it got earased when i sent it away, and when i tried to play it a notice poped up and said "wrong screen mode for Gr2d" then last night i downloaded another game but when i trien to play that one another notive poped up that said " Direct3D:CreateDevice failure" so i downloaded direct3D but it still came up with the same thing. so i figure its a problem with my graphic card, but its a problem i never had until i sent it to be fixed. what could they have done to cause this, and is there something i can do to fix it?
