Hardware - March 2007

I just don't get it. I was not trying to make a network, just wanted to see if my laptop could replace my desktop in case of sudden desktop failure(it's getting old). When I did it, I couldn't get the laptop online. What was I doing wrong? It's a cable connection.

What kind of a bulb do laptops use behind the screen. What is its expected lifetime. Is it replaceable. How much does it cost.

one of my relatives has a Gateway Profile 3 computer that he is trying to put some additional memory in.

http://support.gateway.com/support/manlib/Profile/Profile3/8508183/8508183.htm

He got one 512MB PC133 SDRAM but it is only showing 256MB available. he can live without the other 256MB if there is a hardware limitation of only 256MB per slot. The main thing, though, is he gets a warning/error when he boots about the system memory running at 100MHz and the physical ram being 133MHz (I don't have the exact error text). The computer still boots and works ok, but this is a keyboard response that needs taken every time he boots.

Does anyone know how we can remove this message, since from the specs and support at Gateway we should be able to use PC133 in the computer?

Gateway support hasn't been much help.

I think it is AMI Bios version 2.01a

What I mean is that how do you change the action that happens when you plug in an removable device (i.e. USB).

I use WinXP MCE2005

Example:

When I first inserted my USB into my computer, I accidently chose to open the files whenever I plug it in. Now I want it to do nothing when I plug it in. So how can I change that?

I have a large collection of music on my desktop computer (about 50 to 60 GB )

i used ot have it in a folder in my documents, under files stored on this computer, on the My Computer menu.

But i recently moved it to local disk (C:) under Hard Disk Drives.

Since i've moved it things seem kinda slower and the computer doesn't seem to run as fast and smoothly as before, but maybe it's just a coincidence.

Does where I store my music have any effect on the computer? and if so, where's the best place to keep it.

Thank you in advance, I'm not to bright when it come to computers and appreciate the help.

The speakers on my desktop always are making a slight static/rumbling noise when on even if they are turned all the way down.
They sound ok when playing sound thru them but when there is no sound playing they still have that background noise. if I have them on but I am not playing anything thru them the background noise is the same no matter how loud I turn up the volume.
It seems to do it with all speakrs I hook up to the pc.

I can't reinstall windows - error msg on blue screen says I haven't terminated scsi devices. Does a Dell XPS have and "scsi device?" I've never done any modifications (never been "under the hood." As far as peripherals: nothing unordinary - external firewire drive, printer... that's about it? How do I find this scsi device (that I didn't even know I had), and then how do I "properly terminate" it? Please help!
