I reinstalled the operating system of my computer last night 9/12/06 , Everything is running back to norm now only thing is.... I have something that wasn't there before restore.... I have a drive c and a drive H the drive h says RECOVERY (H) .
my desktop toolbar annouces every now and again that my local drive is running out of space on Drive (H) .. THis drive H wasn't not there when I bought comp and never gave me any problems because it wasn't on there.. but now everytime I restart comp it tells me drive H is full and needs more space, so when I click it it takes me to disk clean up... I do not know what Drive (h) or Recovery(h) is and do not know how to fix it to get it off my comp, or make it not show up and say that.. any suggestions and can you tell me the importance of this drive is it also says something like in the Genral discrip. once clicking on propeties that it is FAT32 or something.. what should I do, I have a gateway comp, The icon shows as a comp chip .

I am currently using an NVidia Quadro FX500 video adapter that is supporting two monitors. I want to add two additional monitors to this configuration. Can I install a second display adapter to support two more monitors without the two cards interfering with each other...or what would be the suggested configuration to support a total of four monitors. (Each monitor will be displaying different applications.)

When I open applications they take a long time to open (when I just opened FireFox it took over 30 seconds) It never used to take so long. Also When I try to Run PhotoSHop Elelments 4.0 my computer freezes up. My task Manager shows that I am running at 100% cpu. My laptop is a Fujitsu with sempron 3000 and 512mb - not quite state of the art but good enough i would have thought. Any ideas why it is being so slow? How to check?

I'm looking for something reasonably small with internet facility, Wi-fi, email and messenger.

i've looked some phones such as Nokia N80 but they don't seem to quite there yet with connection speed, etc.

Has anyone any experience of the Nokia 770 tablet, or what about the Blackberry?

My laptop does the job but looking for something much much smaller.

Thanks in advance.

I just upgraded my computer. It IS connected correctly. Both of my dvd drives work fine, even when i try to play a movie that is in dvd format ripped onto my hard drive it, which ever program i am using still crashes, such as powerdvd, windows media, etc. Im running an asus a8n32 mobo, evga 7900gs, lite on dvd-r and sony dvd. Its not a problem with my drives, could it be a video card issue?

Okay.. Here my question. What is the best Intel processor for gaming? Pentium 4? Pentium D? Core Duo? Or Core 2 Duo?

I'm planing to get Core 2 Duo 1.8Ghz (around that I guess) on ASUS Motherboard, 1Gb RAM, 250Gb HDD, 512Mb ATI Radeon X1600.

Which one better? Pentium 4 3Ghz or Core 2 Duo 1.8Ghz? or even Pentium D with 3 Ghz? I want to have a processor with around $250 (means Core 2 Duo 2.someting) or between $150-$200.

Some one give me answers please. I not so up-to-dated since I'm not in the US anymore. And I'm so busy working. Give a compare chart of processor which good with my budget.

What I have choose it cost $980. (as above spec I show up there plus a DVD+/-R and Logitech Inputs plus LCD 17").

Thanks.
