Hardware - March 2007

I have an old laptop that only has one usb port, and its 1.0. If I hook up a four way hub that is 2.0, will the devices run at 2.0, or will they still run at the low speed?

I would like to have a laptop which is user friendly. I want it to have a cd burner, usb connection and the place where you could insert the memory card. I would also want it to have ample memory and a rapid speed. Moreover, I would basically be using it for internet surfing, downloading and uploading, storing my documents for college, keeping my pictures and mp3 songs and the like. Im not addicted to gaming and editting pics is not one of my interest. But the my interest on the latter is possible. I also prefer Windows.

It has set itself at 4 bit when it should be 64 bit. When I click on it it will only give me the option to go as high as 32 bit. When I click apply nothing changes. Helppppppppppppp!

Recently purchased a new motherboard for my PC so that i could install a better processor. When i installed the motherboard it fitted perfectly, i screwed it to the base of the case installed all other comonents and wires, the only thing i had trouble with was the wires leading from the front of the case for the power button and front USB's, but i worked around this by leaving off the connection from the front USB ports and just installed the power on button and speaker leaving the light off. After everything was installed i switched on the pc, it ran through to a black windows screen with alot of options in how to boot up the pc, i tried start windows normally but this just runs to a screen which breifly shows the windows loading page but then the pc restarts itself, im pretty sure everything is fine in the BIOS, the hard drive has VISTA installed on it but i dont think this is the issue as i have tried a hard drive with Windows XP installed on it, why is this not working?

I have a Sony Vaio W1 and was clearing up my system the other day and have somehow deleted my cd drive! agggh! Now when I enter a cd it is not recognised and the drive has disappeared completely!
Now, I study fashion so my PC knowledge is pretty basic(!) I was told to run [regedit] but lots of scary computer language came up and didn't want to further destroy my pc, so....

I was hoping that a kindly, computer genius could help guide me through the steps to recovering the drive (apparantly no that difficult so I have been told?). Remember to speak sloooowly!!

Thank you so much for any help you can send my way! x

I have a great HP scanner Scanjet 4300c however I brought it from South Africa and the plugs and voltage is different i.e. 220 vs 110. Wll it still work? Thanks for all your help!

I would be using it for internet, digital camera, possibly a webcam, music, and word doc. I want to be able to research on the internet with multiple windows, play music and write an essay at the same time. I will be moving videos and music from another computer so it will need alot of memory because I do NOT want a slow comp.

If possible something that is light and easy to carry would be nice, but not necessary. What would you suggest I be sure that the computer have - and what is optional? I prefer windows because I've never used a mac before - or is it worth it to learn mac? I don't know if I would be willing to do that but offer your opinion.

Regarding price.. hopefully under 1150 as I am a student.
TIA.
