Hardware - January 2007

I am putting an old tower back together, and I need to download a monitor driver. The problem is I dont have the original monitor that worked with it anymore, so I cant see to do any kind of work on anything. I'm sure I'm not the first person to run into this problem. I mean how do you get a monitor to work when you simply cant see anything, to be able to get it to work? I know about the driver and graphics adapter and all that stuff, and the parts do work, thats not the problem. If I have the driver on a disk or flash drive, is there maybe a keyboard button or something I can press to get it to work. Or is there a way the PC will automatically install it from the source? There's not a way to use a laptop as a monitor is there? Any info would be great....THANKS

all these dual CPU's now.. do they just double the power? like if you had a 1 Ghz times 2, does that mean you have 2 Ghz power? are they better than getting a fast single CPU? specifically i'm referring to games.

My laptop had a virus so I brought it to my school college campus which they fix your computer for free. Itz been a wk and 1/2 and they finally returned it to me but not fixed b/c they said my computer cracked @ the hinges @ the display on the back & they completely destroy my computer!The power won't even turned on anymore. I talked to the manager &director & they said it's not their fault b/c while the hinges were broken, ---opening and close it made it worse everytime & the wires attached probably disconnected so that caused a hardware failure. I know it's only my fault at the minor crack and broken part but it was only on 1 side that was cracked..since i turn it to them, they made the other side cracked & broken completely. They said they only fix the software and external parts- not into the hardware. They completely destroy my pc! It was working and all it was a minor virus that came to fix for and they didnt fix but broke it! wat would u do if ur in my case. go talk 2 the head?
