i have a 3 year warrany on my compaq. over teh past 2.5 years, I've had my hard drive replaced 4 times, 2 new AC adaptors and a new battery. also, my screen was replaced once. basically, the computer sucks.. the fan dies quickly and it overheats in 30 minutes. the rule at compaq is that they will replace computers after the same part is changed 4 or more times, but I do not want to wait for my hard drive to die once again because I'm a college student who needs her computer daily. does anyone know of something i can do to the computer that will force compaq to just replace my entire computer?

Both my laptop(Compaq Persario V2000) and my TV (Daewoo) have S-Video Input and Outputs. When i plugged the S-Video in and pressed Fn+F4 I got a picture on my TV, but it was black and white and it was jumping. I looked all over the internet for an answer but i didn't find one. Please help me. PS When I put in a movie its black instead of showing the movie. But i can see the cursor. P.P.S I have an ATI RADEON XPRESS 200M graphic card. And I couldn't find the upgrade on the ATI website.

If I press " it comes up as @, and vice versa. I looked on google and found a site which said to go into control panel, keyboard, and change the language to English UK, but there is no option for this. I went into the languages section and changed it from English USA to English UK, but it hasn't made any difference. Any other ideas?

Ive been wanting to upgrade my computer for a while to play the latest games, but im not exactly tech savvy so im having alot of trouble deciding the best route to take. I have a Gateway pc and my system specs off of www.systemrequirementslab.com are:

- CPU: 2 processors running - Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz
- CPU Speed: 2.39 GHz Performance Rated at 3.59 GHz
- System Ram: 510.7 MB
- Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 (GeForce4 MX 440)

From what i can tell i am in dire need of a new graphic card but i am confused about which to buy. I think my computer has an APG Motherboard, but i dont know how to check for sure. It seems the best APG card is the Geforce 7800 gs, but there are alot of different versions and i dont know which is right. Also Ive read that i need a certain amount of power watts to run the card and i dont know how to tell if my pc is compatable. Any and all help would mean alot. Thanks.

as you know the 360 plays dvd in 480P which means i have to zoom or stretch the image to play movies to fill the screen. The thing is the movies seem to move to 4:3 ratio when on the 360, filling the entire square without any vertical bar. So when I zoom or stretch the image, I"M missing something. what should I do

O.K. First off I wish to know what exactly RAM is. Does this RAM increase the speed of my computer? If I wanted to increase it how do i do that and what exactly should i buy? What does a processor do?? Does this increase the speed of my computer. I want to know this because I have the Sims 2 game and it calls for 256 mb of RAM and i have that much but it is slow and pauses alot. I want it to run smoothly with little or no pauses whatsoever.

I'm thinking of using our tax return to buy a new laptop to replace my regular desktop PC. I don't do much, mainly get on the internet and game alittle bit. But nothing too intense (I don't have time for WOW or any of those games) So, I have a few questions.

Is it safe to leave a laptop plugged in all the time?

Will I be able to do all the things with a laptop that I do with a desktop?

What is a good and affordable brand/model (links would be helpful) for what I plan to use it for? I don't really want to spend tooooo much.

THANKS in advance!

A question for you IT Support folks.

I am attempting to transfer files from my old PC to my new PC. Both PC's are desktops.

Windows XP has instructions but it involves using a Serial cable between the two PC's.

My old PC has an available serial connector. My new PC does not. It only has USB ports and a 10/100 NIC connector.

My Question: Can files be transferred from the old PC to the new PC using a Cat 5 cable between the two NIC connectors?

If so do I simply use the XP wizard and proceed using the Cat 5 cable as if it were a Serial cable?

Your Help is greatly appreciated.

I bought an HP Laptop recently, and found it is the perfect computer for me. I love everything about it and have had no troubles with the hardware. HP offered me more hard drive space, RAM, everything than Apple. However, I hate windows and think it is the worst operating system out there. Its too confusing and not at all user friendly. I dont want a Mac for a number of reasons, but when will apple make it simple and easy to run Man OS X on a pc, I know they made an HP iPod, so why not an HP Mac?


By the way, what is an emulator, because ive heard that is the only way, but is it legal, and is it a replacement for windows or just to run both OS on the same computer. I want to wipe the computer clean and install all new operating system.
