I need to install a new video card driver ( I think it's a Mobility Radeon 9200) because somehow I deleted mine by accident when I was updating my computer...I've tried downloading it several times but I always get

INF error
Video driver not found.

So I'm trying to install one and it's telling me I don't have one. I'm pretty lost...Anyone know how to get rid of that error and help to install the driver?

Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There might not be a sound device installed on your computer, it might be in use by another program, or it might not be functioning properly. HEELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPp

I bought a new case. Pretty good (should be with it's hefty price tag of £65 ($130))

It has a HDD and CPU temperature sensor connected to the front screen. I have two hard drives so I just wedges the HDD sensor between the two hard drive, lovely job.

Where do I poke the CPU sensor to get a reading of CPU temp?

I'm confused

Thanks

I wanted the highest amount of RAM available in my Dell desktop, so I opted for the 4GB of RAM memory instead of the 2 GB of RAM. It's kind of frustrating seeing only 2.99 GB of RAM in my Computer info (when I click on "Properties" in "My Computer.").
