Is it worth to upgrade to 1.4 gb of ram, or should i stick with XP until my next computer? or does anyone know a cheaper place that sells memory? I used memory stock .

I have a toshiba laptop. I've never had problems with it so I'm not even sure the machine is the problem. Every time I try to transfer music to a disc I get error messages saying I need to try a different brand or that the disc is dirty..........it ISNT DIRTY!! I've tried it with media player, sonic and realplayer. I have no luck. What the heck is wrong with this thing? It was soooooo easy on my sony desktop!!

and the usb ports and the sata port arent active yet but the firewire port is supposed to be active. so i connected the hard drive with the firewire cable instead of the usb. and i dont think the dvr knows there is anything connected to it cause i still get a message saying that there isnt enough space to record shows so how can i get my dvr to know that there is a hard drive connected to it? Someone said something about drivers for it but how do i do that with an optical drive for the software installation disc that came with it? thanks for an advice! Star trek is the best!

Last night I was writing my term paper for one of my AP classes and I saved it to my Lexar flash drive and everything worked fine. Then this morning when I went to school to print it out, the computer would not even respond to it, it did not even have an error message or show anything in my computer. I came back home and then it did not work there. I really have no clue becuase I am in tears because I have all my college app.essays on it and this term paper which is huge. Also, I always properly disconecct it from my pc. It just baffles me, it is only a year old. Please help!

My sisters and I have bought my mom Dell Laptop for x-mas... the problem is her home doesn't allow any DSL connections. The locall companies said that they can only do Dial-up connections. Which is another problem since the time that the house was built, there are no real good connections for another telephone line except the one she is using. Yeah... crazy story don't ask... But any (positive) ideas would be greatly appreciated... Thanks,
E
P.S.
The Dell laptop have a wireless card already in it.

My computer was working fine before today. i had this same problem about 7 months ago also.

about 7 months ago
i had a gigabyte MoBo with a 2.8 p4 a 40 gig and a 80 gig ide hard drives. when i restart my computer it wouldn’t detect my hard drive so it wouldn’t boot up. if i pulled out the ide cables and plugged them back it in would work for a few minuets then crash and restart and the same problem it wouldn’t detect the hard drives. So I ask the IT guy at my work and he said it sounds like my ide controllers are going out. He didn’t tell me how to fix the problem so i decided to replace the mobo.

Today
i have since then replaced my gigabyte mb to a asus and now ia have a 80 gig and a 160 gig sata hd. and i am getting the same problem

any idea what it could be?
