I have a video security camera that I would like to use as a web cam.
Who makes a good (composite) video to USB converter for this purpose? Note: this is NOT a digital camera. This is an analog video camera.

My old computer (an HP) quit working and I got a new one (a Dell). There are a lot of files and programs on the old one I really want. What's the easiest way for an electronic clutz to go? (And if you answer, speak plain English.)

I have an old HP Vectra VL 6/266 Series 7 MT, which I want to open up. The only problem is there is a lock that I have to have a key to open it with. Well I don't have the key. Is there anyway I can open it without taking a blowtorch after it?

Alot of people say they use a scanner for trading cards. But I have more than cards I want to sell. I want to sell alot of things around this house, like VHS tapes, DVD's, car amplifiers, clothes. So which would be the best investment? A scanner or camera?

What is the best way to make home DVD's from my DV camcorder?


I was wondering what would be the best way to capture, edit, and convert my videos that I capture from my Sony DV camcorder. The .avi files are extremely large and I need to somehow reduce the size so that I do not lose too much quality and also convert them so they can be played on my home DVD player.

I was given this HP 6355 to fix up for my daughter. It is an older machine & had two very small hard drives..one 1 GB & the other 1.4 GB..The computer had Windows 98 on it & I bought the Windows XP upgrade. I installed it & it worked fine, then it told me one of the hard drives was bad & to replace it. I had just recently bought a new hard drive for my own computer so I put my old one in the HP..As soon as I did that I turned it on & it told me that no operating system could be found...I put the Windows XP cd in & then it said it was checking my hardware configuration, then it went straight to an error code..it said file\i386\biosinfo.inf could not be loaded error code 27136 press any key to exit..I tried pressing a key & it does nothing.. thats it, it does not go past there. I do not know what to do...Please any help..

Alright so I'm at my grandmother's house...trying to fix her printer...and I'm really bad with printers...heh...

I'm running Windows XP.

It's a LexmarkX125 (I think it sucks) and I have the book and the installation CD...and I've followed it, several times. Thing is...whenever I go to Control Panel>>Printers and Faxes...it doesn't show up as being installed. I'd tried just to "Add a Printer" but when it searches for one, it doesn't find one. Yes, the cables are all connected...usb and power.

I have no idea what to do...if anyone has any suggestions I'll be glad to hear them.

Thanks.

Also, IMing me through yahoo messenger is also an option to just explain directly.

I heard that CRT screens get ruined if left turned on without a screensaver on or having the screen turned off. Is this true also with the LCD screens?
