Hardware - February 2007

I am getting an internal memory error reference message when I close IE. It won't let me uninstall version 6 so I can re-install version 7 for WIN XP sp2 again.

I have a Compaq Presario 2200 with a 40G Seagate AT drive. I want to install a new Hitachi 80G ATA/IDE 5400rpm drive. I have removed the old drive, installed the new drive and then the fun begins....I have tried to install WinXP from the cd and it starts loading but then tells me that I don't have a disk drive installed. Why is this? I've tried so many things that I've lost count. By the way....I'm not a techie....I just am mechanically inclined and have a good understanding of computers. I never had any problems working with a desktop so I don't know if I'm missing something in my attempt to install this hard drive.

I have this laptop, and a few months ago the screen went black for no reason, however, I have brought another screen from ebay, and fitted this and the same problem, anyone have any advice. At the moment I have it running through a seperate monitor, which somewhat defeats the object of having a laptop, please help !!!

I have an extra slot for another DDRAM. I already have a PC266 512MB installed and I want to add more memory. Can I mix PC333 DDRAM on the same board? I want to buy PC333 since it is a little cheaper than PC266.

My laptop can't handle the adobe softwae (premiere & after effects) so I am thinking about buying a desktop computer. Mac/Windows OS; no preference really.
I'll be buying it second hand so nothing top market please.

Also, is there anyway of using my laptop monitor if I have the CPU of a more powerful computer?

Thanks :)

When I plug it in and take the adaptor out the screen dims, and when I plug it back in it's bright again so I don't think it's the charger, could it be? I just got a replacement battery like 6 months ago so could it be the battery again?

I was looking at this laptop, an Acer Aspire 5630

would this be able to run games like Battlefield 2 or CSS comfortably?. Also i was looking at another cheaper, laptop with a GeForce Go 6150, is this any better than this one?
this would be for casual gaming.

I just recently pulled a hard drive from a computer I used for a good while, in hopes to upgrade the hardware I was using. I went from a dell dimension 2400, to a home-built system. The dell was running 2.2ghz, 512mb ddram, 2 40GB hard drives(which were switched to the new system), as well as the two cd drives which I moved over as well. The new system is 2.4ghz, 786MB pc-133mhz ram, unsure of the type, I do know it's all the same kind in the system however. It's got a goofy SiS video card, an older model with the proper drivers installed. After the switchover, it started randomly freezing, I just reinstalled windows (without formatting) and am currently doing a chkdsk. Any ideas to why it was and possibly will still be randomly freezing?

Thanks
