I purchased a used computer. I'm starting to regret it. It is requesting an administrator password for updates. The previous owner did not supply me with one ( I have sent them an email requesting it). I also have no web browser at all. Is there anyway to install a browser without one. It also didn't come with the CD's most computers come with. But I knew that when I bought it.
Help!!!

I am trying to buy a computer and the market has dried up. I had one picked out and everything around Christmas but I drug my heels and they are gone. What is available are all those "student" computers with "half-cache" cpus and little memory.

I'm running windows XP and everytime turn my computer on it just falls into a loop and continues to reboot. Even my McAfee rescue disk will not work. I can only get in the set-up mode, but not safe more. As soon as the Windows XP screen shows, it flashes a blue error screen (too fast to read) and then reboots. Any help out there?

It does not matter what website I am going to, it is completely random. When the computer restarts it makes a loud vibrating, buzzing noise coming from inside the tower. Once the computer gets to the windows login screen the noise and vibration sound stops. What could be causing this to happen?

I have stored these cartridges for a Tektronix printer I got rid of over a year ago. I don't want to go through the hassle of selling them if they expire or go bad in some way.

I am going to build a new computer, this one is not VISTA compatible. I decided to get some good speakers. Trouble is most places have very few you can listen to before you buy.

Currently my 4600 has an integrated Intel eXtreme graphics card but I hope to use this card to hook it up to a Dell 2407WFP or a LG L226WT.
I would mostly use the bigger screen for work, web surfing, and watching DVDs.

When I turn on my computer, my monitor won't show anything. Both the power lights and the "busy" lights are on, and if I connect the CD drive, its light is on also. I've asked this question before, and they said it was the video card, but it is integrated into the motherboard. What should I do? BTW, I have duplicates of most of the parts.
