VoterWatch.org is a nonprofit that provides the public with searchable video of congressional hearings. We need to convert PDFs of congressional hearings into .txt or .rt so that we can use them for our website. We've tried cutting and pasting, and we've tried PDF2Office, but neither do accurate conversion so we need some expert help here.

A sample of the PDF is here: http://oversight.house.gov/documents/20071115145634.pdf

Heres what happened :

Ive had the pc for over a year, and i had a dodgy PSU (it was making strange noises starting 2 weeks ago) and used it for about a week until my PC wouldn't even start.

Then i got a new PSU and everything was working fine for about a week.

Now i start my PC and there are 11 clicks that come from my 7950GT. I have to use my motherboards onboard GPU to see anything on the screen.

So do you think it's just my graphics card gone or could there be a problem with the motherboard ? I have a feeling the dodgy PSU was responsible...

I'm not too fussed if i just have to get a new GPU because i am ready to get an 8800GTS .. but don't wanna put it in if the motherboards gonna mess that up too !

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hubby is staying in a Motel that offers free wireless connections, but his Toshiba satellite laptop, asks for the linksys password when he tries to connect. What does he need to do, to connect, will our router password have anything to do with his ability to connect there? I need it simple to pass along to him, as he's even less computer savy than I am.Thank You, all help greatly appreciated.

BRAND NEW HP dv6448se will not boot at all. It immediately comes up with an error message. There isn't even enough time to get to "safe mode." System recovery disc will not work at all. Ordered one from HP and that one won't work either. Optical drive is also functioning. After hitting F10 and running the system test(s), both tests pass.

Anyone have a clue what's going on here? HP doesn't know what's wrong and neither does Geek Squad.

By the way, it has windows Vista. (Which I personally hate.)

I purchased a laptop from a girl I work with as she bought a new one cause she says this one was junk.
I can usually repair laptops but the hard drive has a lock on it and can not get anywhere with it. I have tried a manual unlock and an auto unlock and nothing is working. The lady doesn't know the password she says her son locked it up before passing. Would anyone be able to help me unlock the hard drive please?

Thanks a million

Right now all I have is a CD-RW Drive for my Desktop and I'm looking to replace it with something that can accomplish the following:

I want to be able to burn documents, pictures, music, and movies to CD/DVDs (to back up stuff, transfer files, make a CD, DVD, whatever).

Most importantly, I want to be able to take DVDs I have and watch them on my computer, put them on my computer or copy them to another DVD disc (so I can be able to watch them on a TV, not just the computer). I want to be able to do the same with movies I download (avi, mpg, whatever). I just want them to turn out DVD-quality, and if I can avoid it, I'd like to make sure the process of creating/duplicating a DVD doesn't take hours.

I'm pretty sure you know what I'm looking for. I think what I'm in the market for is a CD/DVD-+R/RW Combo Drive or something, but I don't know if that's the name exactly or what.

I just want someone to help me understand exactly what I'm looking for and what's the best one to get.
