Hardware - February 2007

I have just fitted a new 400gb hard disk and i downloaded the sata driver from motherboard website and pressed f6 only to find that the setup could only see 133 gb of my drive .
is there any way i can get windows to seet the remainder of the drive without re-installing everything?

This problem has been going on for quite a while, and it's getting a bit old. Just about every time I go to print something off the internet, I get this message in a pop up window:

"An error has occured on the script on this page
Line: 93
Char: 1
Error: Access is denied.
Code: 0
URL: res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\shdoclc.dll/preview.dlg

Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?"

Basically, I just click on the print option again and again until it works, and it always varies on how many times I have to do it. This happens whether I use the print icon, Ctrl + P, or go into the file section.

Also, my computer has been failing to restart itself unless I press the manual restart button on my CPU.

Is this due to a virus, a program deletion, or my older computer? Please help!

1st. I don't know how it happened but a while back my p.c. was infected with adware pop-ups. I have tried to get rid of it and nothing has worked. Any suggestions on how to get rid of it?

2nd. This computer is an old computer, I have a new cd-rom and cd-rw in it. I was wondering, can I add a new motherboard into the old pc tower, or would I have to buy a new tower?

3rd. Lastly, if I am able to update the old tower with a new motherboard, would updating the motherboard, hard-drive, and memory take away the adware?


Thank you in advance.

What are the basics applications I need when I order a new Laptop( includes Windows Vista Home basic) should I get Mcaffe or Norton (( do I need that )).

It's not included with the printer, must be purchased separately but the instructions don't give a description or series number or any information. All I know is that the one I use for my digital camera won't fit the printer -- I'd hoped, but I didn't really expect it to....that would be too easy :) TIA

Hi guys. I have a Gateway 550GR Desktop, (detailed specs here: http://support.gateway.com/s/PC/R/3725/3725sp3.shtml) and soon I'll be maxing out the RAM/getting a new videa card and getting myself a copy of Vista. I'm wondering if the integrated sound and network interface card will work with Vista? Or, if the Windows XP drivers I have for them will work on Vista. Your input is greatly appreciated.

The Laptop has Intel Core2 Duo 1.8GHz DVDRW with 1GB RAM, is it normal and acceptable on a machine with this specification to wait for a long time to open the laptop and surf the net.

Hi I am trying to install hardware that came with a new printer I bought today. My computer will not read the cd. I tried installing windows professional two days ago and it would read that cd either... how can I fix this problem, it has always worked for me. Is there anyway to install a printer without a cd?

I want to build a new computer but I can't decide what would be a good cpu and mobo with a 8800 gts and a gig of ram. I can't find a single computer with a 320 mb 8800 gts in it to use as a template. I want a budget gaming computer basically. Looking for a mobo and cpu that won't make the video data bottleneck.

Is there a way that i can boot up from a hard drive that is connected to the motherboard as the second ide. Normally motherboards have a connection to a hard drive and a connection to a cd-rom drive, i would like to set up the other hard drive and put it where the cdrom is. Can this be done?
