I mean one picture spanning accross the two. I am running
System:
windows xp pro 2002 servise pack 2
Computer:
AMD athlon 64x2dual core procesor 4400+
2.21 ghz 4.0 gb ram
Video card:
NVIDIA GeForce 7800 gt
Motherboard
:A8N-SLI Premium
Hard drive:
WD SATA Raptor 74gb 10,000 rpm
Dual Monitors: Nec lcd 1512 15" and cm2015 lcd Balance 15" monitor.
If that helps. Oh, and yes I downloaded all the latest drivers. Even flashed my bios!
could it be a monitor brand incompatibility issue? if so where could I swap my two 15"s for one 30" (lol) would anyone buy these on ebay? the two work fine multitasking tho.

I've used various devices like PDAs and other gadgets that I bought in the UK with no problems, I just use a voltage adaptor and its fine and dandy. I worry about bringing my desktop down though. Also, is the hardware similar i.e. can I use hard discs and ram chips I buy in the states in my UK computer or will I have to worry about that as well?

Will I be able to charge the iPod completely, put songs on it, etc. with the slower one I have now? (I plan to get the high speed, I just can't yet.) So far, no luck, so maybe I'm just doing something wrong. It seems like it has been trying to charge forever. :(

the processor in a PC is usually called CPU. when it appeared in a server computer or a mainframe computer, can we still call it a CPU? If the term CPU is related to some archetechture problem?

one thing I am sure is :under any situation, u can call a processor as a processor.

Thanks a lot!

it is a word document, actually a novel. something happened to the hard drive one day while i was typing. usually in WORD, two windows open up. one for your list of documents and another one in which the selected document opens. while i was typing one day, the window for the list just closed. no reason. it just closed. and the only window open was the one for the document. ever since then the file has been tagged "corrupted". if i email it to anyone , they cannot open it. i have scanned it for viruses and it comes up clean. i am stumped and fear i will have to re-type 453 pages. help!
