I got Company of Heroes for Christmas and it won't play on my computer. The message I'm getting says "Not enough physical memory to run the game. Your system must have at least 512MB of RAM"

Memory: 1.24 GB
Hard Drive: 120 GB - 5400 RPM
Graphics Card: 256 MB NVIDIA GForce 6200

How will my PC do?
Should I upgrade to Vista?

Are people having problems with the In-Place Upgrade? If yes, then why?

I ran the Upgrade Adviser, and it said that I can upgrade. I just want to get a other peoples' opinions.

I installed (or so I thought) a new DVD writer, but it does not show
up in My Computer. It ejects when I push the button so I think it is plugged in OK.

I misplaced the installation CD but downloaded the driver off the internet, but when I tried to install it, even the driver said there was no burner.
Help!
I am using windows and the burner is a Pioneer DVR-111D. When I search for new hardware, Windows can't find it.

I think I might have both my CD-Writer and DVD-writer set to master so I will try changing that, but I am sure that would not have such an effect.

I've got some things that I've looked and typed up on my laptop computer that I need for school, but I am unable to print. This is the only computer that I use when I'm home, I have a desktop computer (which my printer is connected to) also, but it doesn't work. Is there any way I can print things I have on my laptop using the printer I have? I know the printer that I have is connected to my other computer and isn't set up really to work with my laptop.


If this isn't possible, would it be possible to use my laptop at school and print things in the computer room, where all of the computers are set up to work with one printer?

When I try to "Safely Remove Hardware" for my SD card, Windows almost always pops up with a notice that a program is using it, even though there is no program that I can find that would be using the card in the taskbar or anywhere. Why does this happen? Is there a way to avoid this problem?

OS: Windows XP Pro
Computer: Dell Inspiron 700m laptop
Card Reader: Internal card reader included with laptop

I have a MAJOR problem going on with my PC and I thought to try to answer it here before calling technical support. My problem is this... I have a 3 year old who likes to touch my keyboard and mouse when I am not looking and I think she may have done something terribly wrong. My CD-ROM/DVD is not working. I have tried to troubleshoot everything and I keep getting the same message. It says that my driver has been found (I did a search for it) but the device is not working. Any ideas on what to do? I can't get it to play any CD at all, not music, software, data, etc. Anything relating to the driver such as burning, copying etc., says that there is no device found that can run the program. HELP!!!!!!! Oh, I am running Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 1 on a Compaq Presario Intel Celeron Processor with 2.53 GHz and 248 MB of RAM.

I need a list of the power consumption (in watts) of
as many as possible processors (though mainly the new processors) is there an internetpage that has such a list?
I'm also interested in how much watts an ATX-mainboard, RAM,
DVD-burner and HDD in general need (approximately)?
And does a 400 W power supply always consume 400 W,
or only if the parts need that much?

For the past week my videos on Media Player 11 have been very dark. At times when i watch a video clip its in greens and blues and very dard. Also, I cant watch my DVD's using Power DVD because they are also dark. What is wrong with my computer? I have reinstalled WMP11 and my Power DVD Software but with no luck. Anyone have this same problem? If so, how did you fix it?
