I bought a wireless mini camera and attached it to a remote controlled car so I could drive it around in the office at work from my computer monitor. However, the wireless mini camera came with a receiver with white and yellow RCA cables that need to connect to either a monitor or a TV. I already know that TVs have those sockets but I can't find them on my monitor.

The flat panel was tested on my laptop, and it works fine, just can't get it to work on my pc. I wasn't sure if it had something to do with the mother board, that's why I decided to contact you.
I contacted IMB, since it's an IBM flat panel monitor, and they told me it could be that the monitor just doesn't work with the operating system. That didn't make much sence to me sine I had the same operating system on my laptop, and it worked fine with that. Also, I thought maybe I would need an updated driver for the flat panel, but the flat panel was made in 2000, and I can't seem to find any drivers for it, besdies it didn't need a driver for my laptop.
It may also have something to do with the video card (Radeon 800 Series), but I am not sure, either way I downloaded all of the latest drivers for the video card.
Please let me know, if any one has any idea, what you think could be the problem and what I could do about this.
Thank you very much for your time.

I connect my iPod to my Dell PC and I go to my computer and open the file but after a few seconds, the damn computer doesn't read my iPod anymore!!! I hoped there is only something wrong with the USB cord because I'm worried that the same thing will happen to future devices I hook up.

PLEASE HELP!

THANX

I have a HP Pavilion notebook. For some odd reason the desktop symbols come up for about 10 seconds on booting, then disappear. Windows functions normally, I just can't call up any of the icons to see them. i.e. I'm typing this OK right now. What should I do?

At what size do you think the trade off in portability becomes an issue? I used a 15" CRT monitor for years without eye strain, I think I've only recently become spoiled due to to big screen TV's, large workplace monitors. Is a 14" notebook/laptop a good choice?
What about a smallish notebook, and just run a second large monitor of it for extended home use?

How do I update the BIOS? My processor, a pentium 4 it is a newer version than my Bios. The laptop has become slower and it's going down more and more specially when I defragment or when there are a few windows open or programs working. One of the causes, I guess, I am getting short of RAM, 256k.

I know that you can just fold a laptop and take it anywhere but why are they so much more expensive? Can you hook speakers and a printer up to a laptop like you can a desktop? nd i was just wandering if you have dialup how can you get online on a laptop if you go somewhere? Any information would be helpful. Thanks.
