I cannot open mail or go into bookmarks...or access successfully....I have been trying to download a sound driver [my fifth problem] but it pops up that message and it's over...cannot download or select some options....

I am looking for a sound card for my desktop computer between $50 and $100 that will be hooked up to my yamaha stereo receiver with JBL Northridge speakers. I have read that creative sound cards make crackling and static noises when hooked up to stereos. I am interested in the M audio 5.1 surround sound card. I was just looking for suggestion on soundcards and advice about creative and m audio sound cards. If you know of better ones for the same price range please let me know. The sound card will be mainly used for music, video games, and some DVD's.

The status says "order processed" but it also says (underneath) what the production date is. What does that mean? Thing is that the production date since this morning has consistently been exactly an hour before the time I check it. Is Dell just messing with me?

I just got my other computer back from the shop today. I had to have a new motherboard and processor put in. When I started up my computer it takes like 5-10 mins then it will eventually say "Bootup from CD Rom" I start installing the windows cd and when I get to "starting windows" i get an error message stating something is wrong with "partmgr.sys". So i tried to wipe my drive and go that way but when I do that it is telling me "No physical drives found". I know I had a hard drive when I took it into the shop and I should have one now. Does anyone have any suggestions please?? The guy that worked on my computer won't be back in till tomorrow at 10 and it's already been a month really don't want to have to take it back up there and wait another dang month.

Thanks!

My computer has the brave sentry virus and it won't leave.
I have had enough.
I want my computer to go back to the way it was the first day I got it.

I tried system restore.
But it was nowhere to be found!
I ran a search for it and everything.

Don't recommend me using ad-aware SE Personal.
Every time I try and use it, it freezes on a certain file.
I have tried several other virus removal programs, and NONE work.

I have an older computer with Windows ME software. Some how my Windows Media Player was deleted, and I tried to download a media player from Download.com, but it said that it would only work with Windows XP. Anybody know where I can get a simple media player (like the one that was on here) that I can just download and won't require a different software or that I won't have to pay for????
