The volume in the Window Media Player is at max. level. I could hear that the speakers are working but hardly hear it. They were so faint. What could be the problem? I know it plug it in the correct hole.

While booting up Linux it comes up with a message something related to NVidia....and asks me to mount the CD drive.What I can figure out is that it is trying to install the drivers for the Graphics card....but I dont know how to install them.
I try putting in the drivers CD when it asks to mount the CD drive but I don't know the commands in Linux.
Can anyone help?

I want to plug that usb end into my desktop computer and put in the windows disk in the desktop and have windows installed just on the laptop harddrive and not have it hurt my desktops windows. Is that possible?

This is my first computer build all by myself so pls excuse the ignorance.But the mobo (asrock) manual says I HAVE to put the RAID drivers on a floppy in order to install them during windows installation. Is there another way to do this or do i really have to buy and install an internal floppy drive and then take it out again when I'm done (as i need the bay for media card reader)?

Also, Asrock say that the XP drivers "should" work with vista..should I be confident in this or am a setting myself up for a disaster? (and it is too late to say don't use vista as I really need to get this done today).Thanks!

I bought a home stereo system a few days ago & it has a USB port & a USB source option and can play MP3's. I want to run a USB external HDD through the port to play MP3's like a digital jukebox so I do not have to change out cd's.

Can I & how would I go about doing this if possible?

The whole setup looks like this: the computer has Bluetooth device in its USB port. The other Bluetooth device is an RS232 adapter. The two devices pair, but they won't send data. My question is: should the Bluetooth connection automatically convert the USB signal to RS232, or would both adapters need to be the same (both USB or both RS232)?

I have a Dell 4700 with 1.5GB of DDR2 Ram, 250GB HD, 128MB Nvidia 6600 PCI-E, live! 24 bit sound, DVD+-RW DL x12. The processor is a 2.8 HT P4 800 FSB.

I play alot of games like unreal tournament 2004, AOE II and BFME 2. I am looking at the specs for urneal tournament 3 coming out this fall and they are really demanding.

Is it worth upgrading the ram anymore or upgrading the CPU to a 3.2 instead (this is the max my mobo will support), or am I just better off waiting and upgrading the Board and CPU in a year or so.

I have 4 pcs at home (1 AMD, 3 Intel). I usually custom build my PCs but I got this one cheap two years ago and have been upgrading. It is surprisingly powerful system for a stock unit once you starting adding and tweeking it.

I was thinking of upgrading to a AMD 64 x2 and mobo next spring. So I could probably reultilize most of what I have
