A friend and I are working on something for a school assignment, but her computer needed a printer, so she got the stuff and hooked it all up correctly, and a window popped up on the computer saying that new hardware had been added and she needed to go through a hardware wizard to make it work. So she did. But apparently she wasn't supposed to? Because now nothing works. It will not allow her to install the printer and it won't recognize a printer is there. This is assignment is time-sensitive, please help!

We have two computers hooked up to a DSL verizon modem both by means of internet cords. One of the longer cords connected to the slow internet computers is mangeled. While the internet which is fast is directly connected to the modem. Both computers have up-to-date anti-virus and spy ware programs. I have tested the mangled cord on the other computer, while it is a little slow, it is no where as slow as the other computer... So I am asking if the cord can affect the internet speed? I thought if it was the cord, the internet would not work at all... Thanks for any help

How exactly do external hardrives work? I mean I know you connect them with USB cables and stuff, but can you really copy everything you have on your internal hardrive and put it on the external? After that how do you access the stuff on the external hardrive? Can you buy a new internal hardrive and put the stuff from the external on it?

Hello all!
I need to get a sound card for my laptop, so I can use my 5.1 surround sound speakers that I got.
However, when I was researching what my options are, I found some information that just confused the hell out of me!
First up I was looking to get the Creative Sound Card, but then this website (http://whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/338929.html) was ripping it to ****. They also talked about a Mystique Sound Card that looks pretty good (http://www.hdaudiovisual.com.au/mcpc/xmgold71.htm).
I would mostly use my speakers for blaring out music and watching movies etc.
I am in Australia so I need to be able to buy it here. I don't want to import.
Cheers in advance for your help!!!
Aisha
P.S. I am 22 today! yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

i have an asrock motherboard (k8upgrade-vm800/asr) with which i am using the onboard graphics card at present. however, i have just bought a geforce agp8x 256mb graphics card and would like to install it. i have never had experience of doing such things. do i need to go into my bios and disable the onboard graphics before installing? or indeed, is it merely a case of just popping the card in, installing the drivers and away we go? if anyone could guide me through this, i would be most grateful...... laymans terms though please!! thank you
