I have a Dell Inspiron 9300. My computer is no longer reading my hard drive, nor the operating system. It won't boot in safe mode, or any other mode for that matter and system recovery isn't working either. I'm not concerned with saving the computer itself, however, I do have photos on it that cannot be replaced. Is there any way to save my files??? Thanks for any help!!!

Read some review,

Intel's site has info on the 945 chipset and it says 4GB is possible, but howcome dell only limited to 2gb? Have anyone have solution or have tried this before? Or running their 6400 with 4GB? Thanks.

I installed windows vista on my laptop and I love it!

Previously, when I had windows xp I would login by having my thumb print read by a built-in scanner. I have noticed that this feature is not available on vista as it was on xp, is there some sort of addon I can get in order to enable it on vista?

Rather than reinstalling xp just for the sake of the fingerprint scanner, what are my other options?

I recently bought a brand new Comstar 1 TB (Terabyte) Hard Drive for $179.99 with a data transfer rate of 480 Mbps, Data buffer of 16MB, seek time of <11ms, and RPM of 7200. Great deal... the electronics shop sold out within 2 hours of opening but, recently I discovered with the rapid change of technology and exponential growth of data storage, I am guessing within a year my HD will be used up by applications, software, video, music etc- especially with UHDV...
(6 G.B. per minute) With high quality movie production projects coming my way, my "small 1 TB H.D." will be used up so fast. I've read somewhere on the internet they were using stabilizing ferroelectric materials in conjuction with water to expand storage spaces capable with 12.8 petabytes. With technology expanding, the devlopment of exabyte Hard Drives will come maybe ten years. Can anyone clarify on this technology with transfer rates, and such?

I have a very long list of books and would like to make it easier to follow along to the right to see the information. I high lighted every other line with a light grey, but if I add cells (which I will do as I get new books) it messes the whole thing up. Is there an easier way to do this?

I use WMM for the majority of my random movie making. Well, I recently got a new Camera for the holidays (A Kodak EasyShare C513 if it matters) and it's videos upload in quicktime format.

No matter what I convert them into, WMM doesn't seem to be compatible with it. I was wondering if anyone knew of a video converter ( preferably a free one) that will work on Quicktime videos into WMV? Or any converters they use for their own WMM movies?

I'm 14. I deleted my myspace a few months ago becuase I was hacked by spamers, and all this bad stuff was sent to all my freinds so it looked like I sent it when I really didn't. So I deleted it. I have been missing getting on, so I made a new one an hour ago. Now I am really nervous that the same thing will happen again or worse and I will get it trouble for it. Should I delete it or not?
