Computers & Internet - 16 December 2007

I was looking at the Mini-DVI to DVI cable that you can get with a MacBook or whatever and i saw it looks really short, something like 10 cm. So my question is, how would I use that to connect my MacBook to my monitor? Is there somethign else I have to do rather than directly connecting the two with the short cable?

There was a black space all around the screen where the display once was. I went to my Control panel settings and adjusted the resolution and made some font and icon adjustments so my text did not look microscopic after changing the resolution. It runs fine using ATT Yahoo browser except that some of my text is still pretty tiny, like in parts of my email notification and my toolbar. I have restore capability but for some reason there were no available times to reset to. Just wondering if anyone has had a similar issue and what they did about it? I know there are desktop monitor adjustments. Are there laptop screen adjustments. I can't seem to find any on mine.

The power supply went out of my old pc so i bought a new power supply and now the thing wont turn on at all except for the fans spinning for like 2 milliseconds when you first plug it in. I talked to the technician and he said it is probably the mother board. Can i just use any motherboard on my computer and hopes it works or do i have to buy a certain one and how much would the price of one run?

Hey,

Today I was working on my main computer when it just randomly crashed.

I held the power button to turn it off, then booted it up again.
It didnt start up properly. The fans are spinning, the lights on the tower are showing, but nothing on the monitor. My mouse aint lighting up either.

The ram in my computer has lights that flash up and down in a row, sorta like christmas lights lol. The faster they flash the more memory usage and vice versa. When I now boot up the computer, the lights only show on the same diode.

I have asked many people, searched many places and still no solution.

help = appreciated.
Thanks.

Mark

I have an HDTV and I have some avi House episodes that are supposedly HD. Everytime I watch them on my TV, though, the quality is really crappy. I've tried TVersity (using a PS3 as the hub), red white and yellow cables, and burning the files to a DVD. Burning the files to a DVD should at the very least match the quality of a regular House DVD. It doesn't. I burn with the highest quality option, 2 episodes per disc (the House DVD comes with 4 episodes per disc).

For the past few years, I would buy the latest upgrade of my Mcafee virusscan and firewall and a friend of mine would uninstall my old version and install my new version. I bought it last year at Costco's for $39 plus tax. My friend is sick and not able to help me so when McAfee notified me that my software had expired, I for the first time renewed over line. The cost of renewal download plus a recovery disc to be mailed to me was $62. I thought that was awful high but am not sure of what other antivirus softwares are charging. Is there any advantages/disadvantage to doing it the download way vs buying the box at the store and installing. Mcafee does give you 30 days to cancel your order and they will refund your money. Thanks.

I don't want technical certifications, just be certified to represent Sun when selling their equipment.

For some reason, the links I click on in Microsoft Outlook Express open a Firefox browser window. I would prefer the links to open IE browser window. Where do I make the change?

I need a new laser printer for use at home, and would rather buy at a store instead of online, so there aren't many choices.
How about the Brother HL-5240 or HL-5250DN ? Anybody got one? Like it, or not?
Also: if you print a multi-page document, do the pages end up in the output tray in order (like an office laser printer), or do you have to shuffle them back to front (like most ink jets)?
Thanks!

Yesterday I was moving my computer around quite a bit. Later, it wasn't powering on, so I installed a new power supply. Computer boots up now, but when I play WoW, the game seems to struggle. It used to run at a solid 60 fps no matter what. Now it runs at 60, but goes down to 20 fps during fights,etc. Could this be the power supply?
