When I try to copy anything it just makes a humming noise. All so there is a red x on the camera icon in the start up bar, on the bottom of the screen. How can I fix it?

I bought a cable that would connect my IDE hard drive to my USB 2.0 port. In the bottom right hand corner of the screen, it shows that it's connected, but it's not in "My Computer". The installation guide just said to set the jumpers to Master, and plug it in. No drivers were needed since I have XP. I've also tried setting the jumpers to slave and it's still doesn't work. I've restarted with it plugged in, but that just messes things up because my computer doesn't know which drive to boot from, so i have to go to the BIOS and tell it to boot from C, because when the jumpers are set to Master, I have two Master Hard drives. I've also restarted with it plugged in as a Slave. I bought this on eBay, so I'm expecting a very slow response time, so I wanted to see if any one here knew.

I have a 19" Dell Monitor I bought last fall, I believe the model number is 1905FP. It has both DVI-D and VGA (Sub-D) inputs, and I was wondering if I could hook up two computers to share the single monitor WITHOUT USING A KVM SWITCH! I don't want to buy a KVM switch, so if I can do it w/o one, that would be better. If this is possible, how do I switch from one input to the other?

Thanks.

These two laptops are probably the same on the outside. But I have no idea which to buy. One costs 650 and the other is 900. The cheaper one has intel core solo which is 1.83Ghz. It has 512 memory and 80 GB hard drive. The other one has intel core duo, which is 1.6 Ghz. It has 1024 mb and 120 hard drive. I'm a student. Please help me find the right computer!!!

does that mean you can't erase it, add to it, or delete from it?

Im somewhat new to computers, and i got my Dell a little more than a year ago, not realizing what a huge mistake I made. Recently I have been getting into online gaming, like StarCraft and Rainbow Six 3, and have realized how much my Pentium 4 sucks compared to my best friends Athlon 3400. After little play time, my computer sounds like its about to explode and gets ultra laggy to where I cant do anything, so I have to shut it down and let it rest. After some research I decided that im going to build my own computer probably with the Athlon 3800 dual processor but I dont have a lot of money and am trying for under a $400 budget. Some people say the 3800 dual is going to have a huge price drop soon from $150 at newegg.com within the next 2-3 months, but i have no idea. Anyone know about this? I would like to be able to play recent games, and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for decent processors. I want something that wont get outdated for atleast 4 years. Thanks

i have a amd athlon processor on a sis 730 motherboard,i am using a radeon 9250 pci-bus graphic card,so i have disabled the sis onboard graphics
what i need to know,do i have to download and install the chipset drivers for this board allthough i am using a different graphic device,because sis also have audio and ethernet devices on the board
the computer is working ok at he moment,but i have been having a few network problems,is that due to the sis ethernet device not having the chipset drivers installed
any ideas

I have about $1000 to spend, maybe slightly over. im looking for something that will play games, so a dedicated graphics card is a must. I will also be using it for music, etc. basicly im looking for the most powerful machine i can get with what i have. 13" -15" screen. I have looked at dells and they seem to offer the best specs for price, but was wondering if anyone knew of any place offering anything better. Iv been cheated on ebay too many times, so im not looking there. If you could post a link with your answer, it will be much appreciated. Thanks!

I have a Viewsonic PJ402D projector.
When I connect it to the PC, it works just fine.
However when I connect it to my laptop, it always says that the source is lost and it searches for the source. This is the second time that this problem is occuring, I mean, the second laptop, on which it's not working. Please, reply quickly, it's really important coz i have a presentation to do...
