How do i get into my computer's bios to change usb settings from 1.1 to 2.0?
I have usb 2.0 ports but my laptop gives me the error message "a hi-speed usb device is plugged into a non-hi-speed usb hub", whenever i plug in one of my hi speed external devices.
This problem occurred after i had to reinstall windows and reformat my hard drive on my laptop

I know someone who is using a laptop in Kenya. The power fluctuates so much out there that they have burned out one laptop already. I'm interested in finding a battery backup that will work off of 220V and be compatible for a Kenyan-style outlet. Any ideas on where I could locate such an item?

Photo quality printing is key. Not too concerned about the print quality -- mostly just printing out articles for reading and want to save paper by printing double sided.

Basically my wireless adaptor plug snapped out of the socket and broke the inside of it, so now my laptop has gone completely dead and won't turn on at all. I tried it with & without the power supply, took the battery out and put it back in, and still isn't working. Anyone have any ideas has to what could have happened to stop the whole thing working? It is very annoying as I'm still paying for it and only had it a year. Any advice would be appreciated.

I am planning on building my first computer but I am haveing a hard time deciding on the right motherboard and video card. I am planning on using the Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 CPU and 2GB of RAM (for now. I would like to have the option to expand to 8 in the future). I would like a SLI compatable motherboard as well. I will be using the computer for homework, internet, and all of that kind of stuff, but it will be used mostly for gaming. I am willing to spend a decent amount of money on the motherboard but would like to keep the video card within reason (say around $150-$200 or so). Also I will probably not have the money to by both video cards at the same time so I would like to find one that works well both alone and in SLI. Oh, and one more question, correct me if I am wrong but SLI only works with nVidia chipsets? If that is true, how do nVidia chipsets compate to the Intel standard? Thanks for any help you can give me.

I was thinking about getting a new video card for my desktop pc because it did not have enough video memory, but then my father thought maybe we could upgrade the existing card by just adding more memory, is this possible?

I'm not in a position to buy a new, or even used, PC, so am inquiring if an external hard drive will help with disk space issues. I don't have a USB port, can I connect without?

Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you!
