i'm building a new computer from the bottom up. I used to have a HP and still have the windows xp disk that came with that system. Is there anyway I could install the OS in the new computer I build? Would just plugging in my current hard drive work?

I took some short videos on my kodak easy share camera and wanted to make a larger video using Windows Movie Maker. By now I've realized that's not going to work until I can convert them into Windows files. I tried "Save As" but there's only one option and I tried "Open With" to see if I could open them in WMP but that didn't work either. I only have average computer skills and I'm out of ideas. Anyone know of an easy way I can convert?

My computer runs very slow. I am pretty much sure that it is happening because of the windows registry. Can anyone tell me which one is the best registry cleaner or which one improved their pc performance?

I can't figure out how to enter the information where the text goes RIGHT on top of the line (blank) instead - it goes into the line and just spaces the line to the right making it skip to the next. I just want my entered information to SIT on top of the lines.

I was able to use my CD ROM and CD RW drive a couple of months ago, but when I tried to use it now, it's as if I don't have the drives. When I insert a CD, the drive where it's inserted don't appear in My Computer.

I checked in Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manger and saw my CD ROM and CD RW drive with a yellow circle with an exclamation icon beside it. When check the properties, I see the same message:

Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot find the hardware device. (Code 41)

I already tried uninstalling both drives through device manager and rebooting the PC (they reinstalled themselves) but I still see the same message in their properties.

I need to do something very important but it is hindered by this problem. Any help or idea of what's the problem about will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

For example, sheet 1 has names, phone #s, and addresses, but it does not have emails.

Sheet 2 does contain emails.
