i am not sure why but for some reason my cpu just cuts off suddenly like someone pulled from the socket. i am thinkin it might be something overheating cause it seems to do it more often. i don't think it a virus or software error because i reinstalled windows xp. any suggestions?

My 7 year old was playing around with my desktop computer and managed to change the access password that comes up when I boot the computer. She does not remember what she put in there, and we've tried numerous combinations of things she thinks it was she typed in.

I'm talking about the User Password that comes up when we can select which User we want to be. Unfortunately I only had one user set up to restrict access from the children....and like a dummy I left her to play with the computer (Note: It was less than 10 minutes.....boy did I learn a lesson.)

Any and all help would be appreciated.

I know that it is probably an easily answered, logical question, but, when a printer's head is cleaned, where does the used ink go?

I currently have a pentium 4, 1.6ghz (currently all that i know) processor. i am thinking to change into a higher pentium 4 and have these 2 specific details, hyper-threading and at least 3.0ghz.

I am wondering if i need to change my motherboard or memory, and what specifics do i need to know when picking out the right processor.

I have heard so much about both, and I am pretty much convinced that AMD Athlon is better - but - i've heard that there are a lot of incompatibilites between AMD and windows because of a deal made by Intel with windows. also, which is better in general for a laptop? I am not a hardcore gamer, i just want absolute reliability and longevitiy for a desktop replacement laptop. i want something that will last me AT LEAST 3 years with no hassles.

...also whats your opinion on which is a better bet - xp home or pro or media center?

I dont hear any sound. What's going on? I hooked it up right. I installed this on my other computer which was an athlon xp. I had to turn up the "line in" in volume control. On my athlon 64 geForce 6100 gpu, however, there is no "line in" in volume control. Anyone know how to fix this? Or do i need to buy a sound card?

Not literally but I installed a sound card and when I boot up now all I get is the user name screen with no names, just the windows XP Logo? I can;t get to the desktop!!

I have done the following:

1. Removed the card
2. tried booting up in safe mode and last good config mode
3. Used the recovery console and tried FIXBOOT and FIXMBR
4. Entered the bios and trIEd disabling a few thigns there.

NOTHING WILL WORK!!

I can disable drives in the recovery console but which ones should I turn off?

( I have WINDOWS XP PRO and used a XP HOME disk to run the recovery console. My friend said this may have made it worse)

I mainly use it for school projects, downloading music, waatching videos, uploading photos from my digital camera, and burning CDs. If you can, post what brand and the specs of the laptop.....
