I installed PC Tools Registry Mechanic on my Dad's computer and now the tray in the lower right is not full. Also Windows Media player will not work because there is no sound device. Is the software, ie registry Mechanic doing it or is my Dad's computer failing. Also, I installed Windows Live Toolbar, but it will not show. Yes, I checked in the toolbars under the view tab.

Power is great, signal great, all lights lit up, my isp password/username is correct, all set up correctly. It just gets to the end of setup and says it can't configure...

It's a dell router connecting to a wireless modem on the NOW network... oh, and on my laptop

any ideas?

I have a motherboard with a slot for an AGP card. I have heard that this is faster than the PCI slot but the best graphics cards available all seem to be PCI slot. Which of the two is best?
I want to use the motherboard to its full potential and money is no object as far as the graphics card goes.

I tried to reformat the hard drive to use Windows XP Pro, but it kept freezing up on me and I wasn't able to reformat. I tried to reformat it using Windows 2000, and although I was able to do that, once I started using it for awhile, the computer froze on me. Then I changed the hard drive and I reformatted this new hard drive. The computer is still freezing. I don't know if there is something I can do to fix this problem.

Ok you all may think that this is a dumb question but I would like a answer to it regardless. Here in the USA are keyboards for the computer are in English so in other countries that speak foreign languages are their keyboards in their language? Like in China does it have their alphabet and their numbers?

I removed my harddrive from a stock Compaq S6010V and I also removed the CD RW drives and the floppy drive from the S6010V.. Now I bought a new Doom case with a 400Watt power supple, a biostar SATA motherboard, and an AMD athlon 2.20ghz 3700+ cpu and new 512mb PC3200 DDR Ram. So now i'm gonna put the removed harddrive with my files on it into the new case and connect it to the new stuff.. problem is the harddrive has a copy of Windows XP Home installed on it from Compaq.. Furthermore, the harddrive used to run on an Intel Celeron 2.5 ghz processor. big question is what is windows xp gonna do when it recognizes the hardware change? is it gonna flip out on me? n then what do i do if it flips out n gives me the blue screen of death r somethin like that. for this situation i have a drivers installation cd that came with the new mobo and i can borrow a windows xp cd from a friend.. besides that umm its up to u guys and girls to gimme suggestions. i don't even know if windows will flip on me
