My pc has been reformated by my uncle, when i hooked everything up, my montior ( which is a flat panel model from dell). showed "cannot display video mode" i figured i needed to download the monitor driver, so i restarted in safe mode and downloaded it, but when i went to change it in control panel it would not let me click on properties next to default montior. I am in safe mode right now, and dont have another monitor available to me right now, is there anyway to fix this problem?

In order for my scanner to work I have to go into the bios and disable the usb 2.0 mode for my usb ports, so they only support 1.1. I tried installing new drivers from the chipset manufacturer (via). I have the via k8x800 chipset on my albatron pro 2 motherboard. My printer works with the 2.0 driver enabled, but my microtek i520 scanner doesn't. And yes the scanner is made for usb 2.0.

We have our PC hooked up to our TV, but because it is one of the upright kinds, it is just sitting beside the TV on the floor. I was wondering if it would be okay to lay it on its side (horizontal to the floor) so that we can fit it in our TV stand, like a DVD player, or PS2. Would this cause the computer any problems, or have any long term negative effects?

Seagate 250 GB HD
I did see some smoke and smelt burnt silicon on the harddrive. I know that my power supply works fine because when I unhook the harddrive and turn on the computer it works fine. Can someone explain what I can do to retrieve my data from it?

Will a downloaded movie (.avi, .divx, etc.) burn onto a DVD in 5.1/DTS surround sound?

I'm talking about one you'd download off of bittorrent or e-mule or whatever.

USB Flash drives are NOT Memory Sticks. They are both different. People who call them Memory Sticks present themselfs as lamers and ignorant.

-Flash drives are USB, Memory Sticks are not.
-Memory Sticks are a trademark of Sony.

Still don't understand?

I ask because I'm wondering if maybe it means Maximum 512 MB, but it has to be 2 256MB sticks is this possible?


Also, if a mobo only supported 256mb then if you put a 512MB stick in there it should work right? Just with only the 256MB recognized right?
