I bought an E Machine tower around 1995-6 which my daughter has at her house. I won a computer from Puget Sound Computer User magazine around 2000, on the front it says ACN Pentium III. Both have had upgrades here and there, but still have slow issues and wigging out issues sometimes.
......................
We need new computers. We both have DSL through the phone company, need lots of space (and speed), and I want to find a good lowest price for getting two desktops.


Any suggestions?
..........................
ALSO, since these still work, we could donate them but I would need to know how to completely delete any reference to our names on them, like with any registrations, anywhere our names might pop up in the future. .............. Thanks!

Hi there are many rumors that big manufacturers like dell or HP or compaq get their notebooks for less than $50 and sell them for $500 each. I wanted to know how I could buy one for $99 brand new. 10 points!

OS is WinXP Profesional.

I've checked Control Panel's Add/Remove Program and this program is no longer there. So I don't know where to find it so I can either uninstall it or remove it.

Thanks.

I have selected to remove this entry from the printers list but it's still there with a status of "deleting".

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

As soon as I turn the computer on and log onto my account, the mouse and the keyboard lock up. The screen freezes and the mouse clicking does. Some of the keyboard strokes it does respond to (e.g. ctrl-alt-delete, and windows key) but nothing else. I have scanned the entire hard drive several times with two didfferent antivirus progams, but the problem still persists. I have no recently installed any new software or hardware. Any help in the matter would be greatly appreciated

My old computer's power supply died. I bought another e-machines, took my old hard drive, and attached it to the slave terminals of the new machine. It is now drive "F", with "C" being the new internal drive. I can see files in "F", and I want to take my old MS works Calendar data file (wherever that is located - let me know) and import it to the calendar on the "C" drive, but I can't open the files on "F" - I get a message "not accessible, access is denied." I right-clicked in the files' Properties, tried to allow sharing, but get "The shared resource was not created at this time." How can I get my old calendar files (and other personal data) from my old drive into the new one?

I have a TV card in my computer which works great except for the fact that it's delayed which drives me nuts. Is there any way to hook up, oh, say, a compisite video cable or an s-cable directly into my monitor? Or is there a conversion box that'll do the same?
