Why or why not?

2007-12-03 06:47:58 · 16 answers · asked by The One And Only © 1 in Printers

Whenever I try to play movies or anything involving Windows Media player my PC will only play whatever I'm watching for up to 30 minutes before the monitor turning itself off.
It is not my graphics card as it is brand new and exactly the same as my old one. My old one never had any problems (until my water cooling system dripped on it)
Any ideas why this is happening? I have just brought a new hard drive so basically it's like I have started from new.
Would appreciate some help.

Many thanks.

I am running a HP DV6000 laptop with XP SP2, have an AMD Athanon 64 2Ghz processor. I have 1GB of RAM which I think is DDRII. I reinstalled XP, cleared out startup programs, have 35 processes running, cleaned out inside of laptop for dust (fans etc), but I still feel it is not as fast as I would like. Would a RAM upgrade be appropriate, or a waste of money? Thanks in advance

After I click on text, I want it to either change color or disappear so I know we have already used it. How can I do that?

Specifics: Have Comcast HS Internet
Have Linksys 802.11b wireless router
Have 3 Dell Laptops hooked up all hardwired with
network cables.
As of last week everything worked fine.

Now one laptop will not access the internet but the other two will.
I've changed network cables, swapped the non-working laptop into another port on the router even tried wireless to no avail.

Now the weird part -- If I plug the Comcast cable directly into the laptop I can access the Internet . In fact thats how I'm typing this question.

Anybody have any ideas???

I have 2 Netgears DG834Gv3. I am trying to extend my internet connection to another part of the house where I have no ADSL connection, its too long to cable.
An example picture of my setup - http://www.bencarpenter.co.uk/articles/wireless/
So i have installed the latest update which includes a ' repeater mode '. I want to send the internet from the first router to the second, it is possible to still use the first router to connect to the interent wirelessly as normal? OR can it only re-route the connection directly to the second?
Cheers

Is this some kind of spam that I need to be careful of, I forwarded the email to the Network Manager at work but have heard no more, I put the email address in to Google and quite a few hits came up, I was wondering if anyone else out there had received the same email or if anyone knew anymore about it! It was from someone whose name began with V and the email was a .ru one.

I'm writing a powerpoint presentation for a training workshop on Friday. One aspect of the training is looking at filing electronic document (i.e. using folders and sub-folders properly). I'd like to 'show' my folders - can I do this through powerpoint (i.e. through a screen-grab of my documents or something) or do I have to come out of powerpoint and navigate through my documents?

I won't be doing ANY gaming, but a bit of video editing.

I hate to spend more $ on a video card unless absolutely necessary.

I bought a Linksys Wireless-N router to go with my new Sony Laptop that supports Wireless-N. When I first connect to it, I connect at 130Mbs. However, once I setup WEP 128 security, I can only connect at 54Mbs. When I reset the router to have no security, I connect at 130Mbs. Any ideas?

I ordered a new notebook from HP on December 1. It's gone to the factory for "building". They estimate it to be "built" by December 11. Does it really take 10 days to put it together? Or is that just a "safe" estimate? Do they usually take longer? Do they usually ship sooner than their expected build/ship dates?

I'm using Microsoft Word 2003 to write a term paper. However, my professor requires that we use Arial 10 pt font for the paper. When I print the paper, however, it looks unusually thick compared to the sample she gave us. Is there a way to make arial 10 pt point less dark and thick w/o changing the font size!! Thanx!!
