I'm trying to restore my PC using floppies. It seems a lost cause. I am using Norton Recovery discs and can't get past disc 4. The floppies were backed up in 2004, am I too late, is there another way to get to 'system restore'?

I ran the Vista upgrade advisor from cnet.com and it recommended that I upgrade my video card (graphics card). I fell just bellow the recommended video card. I have a Dell laptop and this is my computer info:

Inspiron 6000
Intel(R) Pentuim(R) M processor 2.00GHz
1GB RAM

This is what the Upgrade Advisor told me:

CNET recommends: 256 MB 100% DirectX 9 graphic card with Pixel Shader 3.0 hardware support (NVIDIA GeForce Go 7800+ / ATI Mobility Radeon X1800+)
You Have: ATI MOBILITY RADEON X300 (ATI MOBILITY RADEON X300 (0x5460))

Details:

Video RAM: Required - 256 MB or better , You have - 128.0 MB
Video Card 3D Acceleration: Required - Yes , You have - Yes
Video HW Transform & Lighting: Required - Yes , You have - Yes
Vertex Shader Ver.: Required - 3.0 , You have - 2.0
Pixel Shader Ver.: Required - 3.0 , You have - 2.0

Does anyone know of a website where I can purchase a new video card? Or a direct link to a video card for the info I gave? No Ebay please...

Thank you!

I have a new Gateway GM5266E PC. Yesterday the sound was fine. Now I hear static with headphones, speakers, etc. Also, when I listen to music or watch a video, the person sounds extremely distorted. I can't tell what he or she is saying, and the person sounds like an alien-robot type person. My computer is fully updated. What do I do?

We have an Emachines desktop. This morning we tried to boot it up. At first it seemed to be working, but then it stopped booting, started clicking, and would not respond to anything. Now, when it is plugged in, the green light comes on and it buzzes, but does nothing else. We tried hooking another moniter up, and another power supply, but it still does nothing but light up and buzz. It is a pretty high pitched buzz, because my sister and I can hear it(14 and 16), but my parents can't. I don't know much about computers, and we really don't want to spend money on a repairman, so any help you could provide would be much appreciated.

I have a Sony VAIO. For several years now. I'm afraid this is a sign of imminent harddisk failure. But it has been going on for months. I hear the click about once a week. Please advise.

There are definitely files on the drive and the files are taking up space on the hard drive but I cant see the files meaning that I can't open them. Please help!

i just bought a dell lattitude with an intel mobile pentium proccessor(233mhz) and i want to put a intel pentium 3 proccessor(800mhz) but im not sure if the computer can handle it. I was just wondering if i need to upgrade everything on the laptop so it can handle the proccessor or will it be ok with the p3 without upgrading everthing else?
