Hardware - March 2007

I find that it opens sometimes for no apparent reason and it doesn't open and just goes straight to the printer. This annoys me because I sometimes only want to print a couple of the pages in the document. Is there anything I can do to make the dialogue box pop up everytime?

I have a nokia 6133 phone and bought a mini sd card a couple months ago to download songs, themes, and games. A couple of weeks ago my harddrive started not to recognize it and said I needed to insert a disk into harddrive F, but my sd card is in there. I still have lots of space left on the card and my phone recognizes it, so what has happened? I could buy another one but I would like to use just one card.

I just built a computer by myself. The mother board is an ASUS P5NSLI (it doesn't have an onboard graphic card). I just replace an intel pentium D 915 with an intel pentium 920. The two processors are all intel D 9 series, having the same socket type 775. My graphic card is a egeforce 7600 GT. When I turn the computer on, the case light is on, all of the fans, including CPU fans, graphic card fan are on. The monitor power is on, and itself works on other computers. I really hate to return stuffs back to the store, poor them. Please help me to diagnosis it

im so confused about this whole thing i need many many answers

im 15 years old 9th grade

and i need a new laptop/desktop

i need to use it for school, music, videos, pics ,(the works) and maybe a few games

ive seen vista and it looks like a mac but cheaper

macs are deffinetely much more attractive and i hear they dont get viruses, theyre faster and that whole shindig

but they also cost a lot

also

if i got a laptop/desktop with vista home premium i would get a zune (ok computer, very nice mp3 player, marketplace you can get unlimited songs for 14.99/mp)

if i got a mac is there anything else besides an ipod thats compatable? (very nice computer, pricey, itunes store must pay 1 dollar per song)

so people consider my needs and consider price in the end

write as much as you can and as many opinions as you can because i honestly value peoples opinions

thank you

Lately, it's been acting so weird. Every once in a while it'd lagg and then it would shuts off by it self. Sometimes it happens at least 4 times a day! It's really starting to bug me because it's so slow and it shuts off all the time. Oh and when i try to turn it back on, this red light keeps flashing on my monitor. but when i wait about 5 minutes then it'd work. does anyone know whats wrong ? is it a virus or spywares?

I purchased my Gateway laptop back in January of 2005, unfortunately after a year in '06 it started having problems. Luckly I also purchased the entended warranty through Best Buy. But my laptop has been fixed 3 times already and this is my fourth time(computer does not turn on only power light is on). Not only that its been fixed for multiple things cd rom, mousepad, screen, mother board or whatever its called the list goes on at once. I was hoping for Best Buy just to give me a newer one but I was denied replacement, I was planing in getting a Sony but they sent it back to Gateway to fix and who knows how long that will take. I take online courses and my warranty is almost up this is a nightmare. This laptop is a piece of crap and will eventually breakdown again. What should I do or say to get a replacement? Please help...any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have had this product for about 3 weeks now with the Vista Home Premium edition - have had nothing but problems!!

Does anyone have the same system - it runs extremely slow and am having major difficulty with IE 7. Have tried shutting down some start-up programs and cleaning browser history etc.

Perhaps it's just Vista? I am really not liking Vista right now!! Plus it will not allow me to up-date window's defender. Any legit answers would be so so much appreciated from an IT person - otherwise save the comments. Thank you very very much.
