I am using an SD Card and in Device Manager it has a yellow exclamation mark (!) next to it. For this reason I am unable to access it. All drivers are installed and connected properly.

I am running Windows XP Professional SP2.

Here's the problem: When I turn my laptop on, the HP invent start up screen comes up. On the bottom of the screen it says to press ESC to change boot order and press F2 to enter setup, F12 to boot from LAN. It won't go past this screen. When I push ESC, F2, or F12 it does nothing... It stays on the start up screen. I've asked a friend or two and they think that the hard drive may be fried. What do you think?

I haven't ever bought just a monitor, and I'm finally ready to get rid this old Hewlett Packard model that came with my modem/ tower from '97 that is long gone. Am I missing something about the new flat screen computer monitors that they don't readily come with audio or speakers? I listen to stuff on the Web all the time, so I can't understand why this doesn't seem important on the monitors. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong ones. Please catch me up to speed. Thank you.

I really want to play The Sims 2 on my main computer, but it has bad graphics so I can only play it on my mom's slow laptop. My dad bought a brand new graphics card to put into the computer, but we found out that you can't remove the graphics card! It's attatched to the computer. This is a brand new Dell computer. My friend said that you can still hook the graphics card up, is this true? If so, how do you do it?

I'll be doing random thing on my laptop without it even being unplugged and it will just turn off. Any idea what's causing this? It's really annoying and happens a lot when I'm importing CDs to iTunes. Could it be caused by low disk space because I have very little disk space messages pop up a lot.
