I usually shutdown my PC everytime I finish my work with it. Is it ok to leave it running overnight. Does it affect the performance in a good OR bad way..and is it better to leave it on than starting 10-15 times a day?

Can I remove my existing CD ROM drive, and replace it with a new internal DVD ROM? Or, would I be better off just buying an external DVD ROM and hook it up through a USB port. What features should I be looking for in a DVD ROM?

When my comp starts up the Windows start up tune plays (so my speakers work & are plugged in properly etc) but after that there is no sound with anything.- (MP3's, CD's, Yahoo, alerts, etc, etc) Anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get it to work again? If it's relevant, I have "Creative" volume system. Nothing is on "mute".
Thanks in advance as this is driving me mad!

Want to install some good free sites, especially adware and spyware, and anything else of interest.
Spybot Search and Destroy will be one of the security sites which I will install.
Stumbleupon is a good general site which I would like to include.
Do you have any suggestions for good security, or good general sites.
Thanks.

Is it easy to reinstall windows xp from a disc. Is it really just a case of inserting cd and letting it do the work.
