I know that you can add RAM to your PC but need to know how ... someone told me that you could just add more RAM cards and that would work. Like I have 128mb of RAM and I could add more 128mb RAM cards to equal up to however much I wanted. I don't know if that is true or not ... so can you do that? Also, how do you actually add it to the PC?

so heres the deal I ordered a computer 2 weeks before xmas from staples. I got the computer 2 days before xmas and set it up a week later only to find that the speakers were broken. So I called them to get the computer repalced 2 weeks later I get my new new computer and the computer has 15GB hard-drive less then the one I ordered and the CD Drive doesnt work. So I called them again to get that one repaced and now I just got the New New New computer and again it still has 15GB less then it should. What should I do? I think I deserve a brand new one free or this last one free or this new new new one free since everything works besides the 15GB?

My broadband internet connection network is up and running fine. My USB adaptors were working fine, also, until suddenly they stopped working. They were disabled and my computers were no longer capable of recognizing them. I think I have to change me settings or some sort, but I have no idea how to work this. I've been working on this the entire day... and it seems no one from any of the companies want to offer sincere are valuable help. Thank you for any help you make available to me.

My TV is sitting right above my computer in my office and Im looking to buy a new monitor. The thought just occured to me to somehow connect my computer to my tv ( which are only 12 inches apart). Is this possible? Would I need any special equipment? Thank for your help as I know very little about computers and even less about televisions.

The TV tuner that I have now will only detect the channels on cable and cannot detect satellite channels, thus I cannot use my computer as a true DVR. Is there a certain kind of TV tuner that I have to get that will recognize the channels on satellite or am I out of luck?

I spilled soda on my laptop, but thankfully nothing is seriously wrong except the fact that the keyboard is sticky, and a small region is mildly dysfunctional(for example, it types "qwe" for q,w, and e). Are there any ways to clean it? By the way, my laptop is HP Pavillion ze4904us, and I have yet to discover a way to remove the keys or keyboard.

for you to tell me what my hard drive looks like (to the point that I could understand...)and/or tell me how to remove it?

I froze my pc... is it possible for me to fix it on my own? (btw... I know nothing about the inside of a pc...) I can't turn it on now, Foxfire has disappeared, I lost all of my files... any suggestions - seriously!?
Thanx!!!
