When the memory is installed in the Dell laptop (pentium 2), it is recognized by it as 128mb but when I transfer it to the Sony vaio laptop (pentium 3), the latter recognizes it as only 64mb.

I turn it on and the startup doesn't even come up. Sometimes it does but even then it turns off automatically or freezes up during startup or while I'm working on something. What could be the problem???

My friend told me I should use a PS/2 mouse and keyboard for a new build computer. He said the motherboard will not recognize any USB device until the operatin system is installed. So he tell me to use PS/2 mouse/keyboard during the process of installing OS... is that true? cos what I only have is USB keyboard and mouse

Nah I'm just kidding...I don't know if it really matters to some of you, but I wanted to thank the people who helped me turn on my printer.....come to find out the plug wasn't fully in the port and I had NO idea there was a switch in the back, nor did I know you had to restart it to complete the process.... HEY!! I'm just a kid!! (well teenager if that counts...lol) Now I can print out my essay.
Thanks,
bye

Please help me:-
for her homework my daughter has been given some maths to work out. I think that the information on the sheet is wrong. Can anyone confirm this and correct were nessasary:-

1 Gigabyte = 1000 megabytes
1 megabyte = 1000 kilobytes
1 kilobyte = 1000 bytes.

I do not belive that this information is very accurate. If it is wrong my meeting at the school will be very interesting on thursday.

I have an emachines that is about to die. I put a power supply in it & have been told the motherboard could go at any time. I need another computer. I dont have cash. I've applied for credit through Dell, but was denied. I was offered credit through a company that only seems to have HP's, Acer's (which I've rarely heard of) & Lenovo's (which I've never heard of). Out of these, which would be the best? I dont think I'll be able to get credit anywhere else, if my computer dies on me. Any honest input is appreciated. Thanx!

We got this new computer, and I couldn't figure out to install the printer. I found out now and I have it installed, but the printer won't turn on. The button on the front won't work.

I do not intend on "recovering them" or salvaging the data on them, I just want them to be fixed...what is the fastest solution...third party software...a HDD wiping utility?

Yesterday, I noticed my power cord for my desktop computer is starting to show so wearing. Question is do I buy any random power cord? Or do I find a power cord that is compatible with the fan? From what I can notice by looking at the computer, the power cord is inserted next to the computer fan. Are these things related or not? I have a power cord that originally came with my desktop computer, but someone I got a second power cord when I took my computer to get serviced a few years ago.
