I have a Dell Dimension 4550 and the sound card was fried due to a mean virus. I bought a new Diamond 7.1 sound card at Staples, To my surprise it needs a different cable to connect to the motherboard. I went to Comp USA (50 miles away) just to find the right cable and ended up having to try to splice the old and new ones together. No big shock, it didn't work. Can someone maybe suggest a website (besides Dell) to find what I need?

I have a 3rd party application that sits on the network that can send print jobs to an IP and optional port.

I have a virtual printer driver on my xp PC that prints to Post Script. How can I get the 3rd party application to print to this virtual printer through my PC's IP address?

So for example, the 3rd party app needs to print so it looks up the IP (and optional port) and sends it there. My PC gets this request and forwards it to the PostScript printer driver that then sends the output to file.

Any help would be appreciated!

I have a Windows XP made by Shuttle [www.shuttle.com](USA). The thing is, it's two years old and I play The Sims 2 all the time. Well it got a corrupt autorun file and when I uninstalled the game to fix it, now I can't reinstall it! So, now I have to reformat or reinstall windows XP on my computer. I still have all the stuff that came with my computer, [disks, etc] but I'm not sure how. There's this one disk that came with my computer and when it pops up it gives you options and one says "Install Windows" is that what you do? I'm not sure. Please try to help!

Playing off the recent "Mac vs. PC" commercials from Apple, I'm curious to hear which computer/OS you prefer and why. I actually own both currently (PowerMac and Dell), but am about to invest heavily into a new computer and would like to hear some additional thoughts on why you prefer one over the other.

I think Im having an issue with my graphics card. I have a Nvidia GeForce FX 5200. I can't seem to play the Sims 2 anymore. It chops all up and freezes. Impossible to play. This happens at the city selection screen. I uninstalled the drivers, installed them back, uninstalled them, tried older drivers, those didnt work..tried newer drivers...Absolutely nothing works! This game was working fine last week, any ideas?
