Computers & Internet - 25 November 2007

I can't get my dell desktop computer to work. It happened after a string of thunderstorms so I'm wondering if it got struck my lightening, even though it's plugges into a surge protector. When I turn on the power, it makes three beeping noises and the monitor says there is no signal. Someone told me that I might need a new media card. Could that be the problem? Can anyone suggest how to fix it?

Last week, I could scan to a PDF file (I have Adobe Reader 8 installed). This week, the PDF file option is not available, and I can't figure out how to make it available. Any suggestions? Oh, I'm running Windows XP professional.

Thanks!

but when I try to make some back-up copies of purchased discs, it says the DVD wont fit (on some, not all). I tried looking for an option to burn the disc in dual-layer format, but can't figure it out. How do I do this?

Hi, could you please tell me if there is anyway i can update new drivers or anything else without making a purchase, to be able to play this game as it says it's required..
my graphis card info is as follows.
Card name: Mobile Intel(R) 945GM Express Chipset Family
Manufacturer: Intel Corporation
Chip type: Intel(R) Calistoga Graphics Controller

also the error message i get from flight sim when i open it up is basically that i need to have a geForce3/Radeon8500 class or better graphics card...also it says, invalid hardware or driver..

My situation is very strange. My laptop LAN connection works at every other place other than my dorm room. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the driver (intel (R) PRO/wireless 3945ABG). Windows just tells me every time when I do a diagnose and repair that the Ethernet cable is unplugged and thats a lie.

Does anyone know anyways I can troubleshoot. I don't want to have to call HP (its a pavilion dv2000) cos I doubt if their tech guys can help.

As you can see, i was given quite a few different burning programs, but what about programs to get the copywrite off, and programs to upload them onto my computer? I'm not sure if my DVDshrink is working because I cant upload because of copywrite blocks.

Help?

You have to search by artist. The only artists I know for Christmas are Mariah Carey and the Chipmunks, and they don't have any Christmas music. Any thoughts?

My computer is infected with viruses. It changes my background desktop, changes my homepage, pops up popups, downloads programs without me knowing. I use Norton Anti-Virus to try to fix this problem, but however, it does not change a bit. I think this happened because yesterday I was downloading this program to watch videos on the internet, I believe it was Active X or something. Can anyone help me remove these viruses and restore my computer from viruses?
