i have an altec lansing headset with mic. It worked fine on my dell inspiron which i just replaced witha latitude d820. I can hear others conversations but they cannot hear me. volume is on, device is recognized and says working properly. it is an integrated audio resident on the motherboard but I am at a loss. I returned it and got a new one thinking it was possibly the headset itself but that did not correct the problem. Is there another setting somewhere i should be configuring? Thanks

I know that other systems with 2 separate processors on a motherboard would not function as a single "super processor". If a specific application or game was not coded to take advantage of 2 processors, there was no advantage.

Now someone mentioned to me that they in fact run as one processor, in effect doubling the clock speed. I don't know if this person knows what they are talking about or not, and I just wanted to know:

Does a dual core processor run like a single processor, or like a dual processor motherboard setup?

When I put the disc in the A drive it says the disc is not formatted and will not open. Is there any way the documents on it can be recovered? Or am I totally screwed?

I spilt Coke on my laptop keyboard. I wiped it up and blasted air to dry it. Any remedies? How long until my laptop goes kaputt?

Performance in gaming, I'll now go to AMD, but what's done is done. My PC is a littl eover 2 years old now and yeah. I have a 3.0 Prescott with 4 10k rpm drives, 2 gigs of OCZ and an ATI x850xt. While gaming, fps and mmorpg's, my temps never cruise past the high 50's -- 58c ish... When I play Guild Wars, the temps jump up to 68c. I have my motherboard monitor warning hit me @ 70c.

I clean my cpu off and apply new artic silver about once a year. All my games temps are fine for what I have, but GW's runs a bit hot.

I have a Thermaltake Xaser something with a Zalman fan. I have to open the front door to keep my cpu cooler during GW...

Is this normal? What's the avg operation temps for the prescott and what's your personal averages with any cpu.


Thanks

My current Drive size is 16gb, when i erase a files they erase perfectly no problem but then I look at the Hard Drives properties and there iss no change in the Drive size even after i restart the computer. I highligted all the folders inside the hardrive and I got 48gb of used space and when i use the properties i get 59 of used space even though I deleted all those files totalling 11gb. Ive never done disk defragmenting but if I did would it help or make the matters worse.

I was wondering if windows XP recognizes the RAID array or not, and if in defragging it happens to reorganize the file structure accordingly. I would imagine it does, but with as much trouble as I went through getting this setup to work, I'd hate to pitch it on a hunch.
anyone willing to answer this one knows what I mean ;)

I purchased a laptop 2 years ago from a Power seller on eBay for £500. The positive feedback and the number of transactions gave me confidence to purchase this particular item.

However this morning I received a visit from the Metropolitan Police (who were appearing on behalf of the Nottingham Police Force) that the laptop I had purchased was actually stolen.

They requested that I hand it over as part of their evidence for their case. I bought the Laptop in good faith, unknowing it was stolen. I have 2 years worth of photos, emails, videos and documents that I have to give up?

Please advise me on what steps I can take.
