I don't mind if it still says $ on the key, I just need it to type the pound sign instead!
Thanks.

I recently purchased 512mb of RAM for my hp pavilion ze5600 (Intel (R) Celeron (R) CPU 2.60 GHz it currently holds 706 of RAM. after I installed 512 mb card i notice little or no speed change when opening programs or files. I have McAfee virus scan installed as well as anti spyware software. I run these daily, but it seems my laptop does not run as fast as it should with all the RAM in it. My computer is fully updated as well (windows xp). Please help, I appreciate any feedback, thanks!

I want to be able to play games on my PC, City of Heroes in particular, but don't want to spend too much on it.
I found a GeForce 6600 LE that supposedly fits my system, what would you all suggest?

A customer had some concerns that since AMD and ATI had merged that they wouldn't support Intel. Now I know this can't be true is there anything you have heard otherwise?

i have a dell pc (dimension 5150), i have just bought a lexmark all in one x5470 printer. I have asked questions on this site recently cos i have had so much trouble in getting it to work. I have now got to the bottom of the problem, the printer will only work if the MacFee is completely unistalled. Even reloading Macfee after the printer leaves the printer not working, leaving me open to viruses etc. Has anyone any idea how to get around this, i have contacted Lexmark and they dont know !

I was jusg wondering if there was a way to fix my computer hard drive while saving the information that was stored on it, I try and put it in my computer now (which it worked in like a month ago) and the computer won't read it, it also makes the computer freeze and crash. I have 2 hard drives so the working one I took out and then put the non-workin one in and it won't boot... so the question is there a way to fix the hardware part of the hard drive while saving the data? Or is there a way to transfer the data without a computer?

I have a compaq presario (R3000us) laptop bought in 2004. It has an AMD Athlon XP-M processor. However, the system info says 399 MHz. How many MHz equals 1 GHz? Also, I was planning to take off Windows XP and put on Windows Vista Business (and upgrade RAM). Will 399MHz processor handle 1GB of RAM. It has 512mb now. Is 399MHz low for 1gb ram or doesn't it work that way? Thanks!

Addl Info: I'm putting on Windows Vista because XP is not working correctly, some files are missing that make the computer run at full potential. I am not planning to reinstall XP. It's mainly an OS problem, not a computer hardware problem.

On our computer we have 2 accounts: Mine and my bro's.

When i want to print a doccument from my side it won't print and say the 'duccument failed to print'. But when i print from my bro's side it prints.

It's never been like this. And it is not a new computer or printer. We've been using the same computer and printer for 2 yrs & this never happened. I am also v. sure i didn't change any settings on my account.
