i really need help. i have a problem with my PC. for about a week or two every time that i try to turn ON my computer it does not recognise my Windows. I am running Windows XP Professional. I have to format my computer daily.. every time i turn it ON> i am thinking to leave it ON all the time...because i am tired of installing Windows again and again. I can't go to a service in the next future because of some personal problems. Is there anything that i can do ? to resolve this issue ?

I would apreciate if you answer this only if you know something that would help me. All SPAMS will be reported.

I have a laptop with an on-board graphics card which is not very good, however I was thinking perhaps adding a normal PC graphics card via usb or something would be help.

I am trying to decide between a computer with an intel Core2 Duo processor @ 2.4GHz and a Pentium D with dual core technology at 3.2GHz. I am getting 2gig of RAM, and the Core2 model comes with DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz and the Pentium D comes with DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz. Will I notice any major difference between the two when runnung AutoCad with mildly complex drawings (multiple x-refs, but generally not 3-D)?

Is the Core2 like getting two 2.4GHz processors? Does the Pentium D with dual core at 3.2GHz mean that it runs at 3.2, but can simultaniously thread two apps through at once? The Core2 has a 1066FSB and the D has a 800FSB. Since the RAM speed is less than both of those, will the FSB speed make any difference? Thanks in advance!

I'm having trouble playing a DVD with my computer's DVD drive (Toshiba DVD-ROM SD-M1302) that was burned with the "+RW" format. It plays back in an extremely choppy manner, locking/freezing up frequently throughout playback. What formats can my computer's DVD player play? How can I get it to play the +RW format properly? The DVD plays perfectly on my parent's home DVD player.
