I just bought this graphics card and i installed it into my PCI slot, plugged in the monitor into the card, and installed all the drivers on the disk. I have a Windows XP Home Edition Dell Dimension 3000. Now. for some reasonon, whenever i play the sims 2 (or probably any other game), it turns into a window down by the start button, that i cannot maximize in order to see the game that i want to play, i can only hear the sound. And another thing, my computor is slow now because it freezes for short periods of time. I'm thinking that it is because of an error on the drivers but can anyone help me out please? Because i spent 50 dollars on it and i am not about to return it. I tried to be specific as i can so please help me.

The display panel on the machine states "Spot senor is out of calibration." I contacted Hp and they told me I would need to get a new machine because it is a hardware issue. Then I contacted a company who fixes printers and they said it needs to be cleaned at a cost of $75.00. I gotta believe there is someone out there that can tell me how to clean the printer and save me $75.00. Can you help?

I have a 25 BG hard drive laptop (Dell Inspiron 1200), with an upgraded RAM of 1 GB. I ALSO have an EXTERNAL 80 GB hard drive that is pretty much always attached to my computer. Now my internal HD of 25 Gb is almost full, but my External HD still has plenty of space. It was suggested I not add PROGRAMS to the External HD, but rather leave thsoe on the Internal drive. Can I take the entire Documents and Settings folder (which currently takes 11.6 GB space), and move the whole thing to the external drive? I have already moved all my pics and music and videos, but the folder is still enormous. Or does the "settings" portion of the folder require it to remain on the C: drive for pragram start ups? Thanks....
