Before trying to shutdown, I’ve turn of the AV , firewall & disconnected from the Internet, checked with task manger & nothing is running in the background.

Any idea's welcome please.

I have sleep apnea and want to be able to read the nightly results on my bipap machine which I think requires a smart card, software, reader, and free usb port.

I am trying to figure out how much this will cost. I found the other items but the software says it requires a free usb port and 50mbs of hard hard drive.


My questions are
1. are free usb ports free?
2. what is a free usb port?
3. where do you get these?
4. how does one know if they have 50mbs of hard drive?

Please answer all these or as many as you can..thanks.

ok so I read that someone had the option under there BIOS to give the video card more Vram by using some of there ram... ya know like the sticks of ram that you buy in a computer store.. lol thats just for ppl who dont know what I'm talkin about, well anyways, I have 64mb of vram (video ram) and I am running vista.. yeah i know it's not a good idea.. but it works fine, other then bluescreening ALL THE DAMN TIME, and it also has a problem watchin videos.. in windows media player i can choose to watch em' at 50% zoom level.. but anything bigger then that.. it's just goes slow.. so the sounds is WAY ahead of the frames.. so if there really is a way to give ram to your vram could someone tell me.. or if there's a virtual video card program out there.. that would be nice to know.. thanks guys

I bought a notebook few months ago. It has 60 gb of ram and the intel core 2 dual processor (1.67ghz) T5500 Intel(R) core (TM)2 CPU @ 1.66 GHz, 896 mb ram.
In the system information, it says that it has 896mb of ram, but when i checked my disk defragmenter, it says that the C drive only has 60gb of ram???
Anyway the main idea is that I wanted to speed up my computer, and the only way to do it is to add ram.
I wonder what's the price of upgrading the hard disk from a 60gb one to a 120gb one?
Or should I purchase an external HDD?
Which one would be better?

it said that Reboot and Select Proper Boot device and it didnt work for 4 days. then i disconnected modem to laptop. I left my house for like 15 min, when i came home, it started to work. can computer be fixed in 15 minutes? i have feeling that someone got into my home and first broke it then fixed it. because it's very weird. aslo the BIOS were very messy before starting working. could it be that someone got into the house and fixed it???

My Acer laptop (2 yrs old) had a trojan or 500, so I reinstalled Windows XP. Since then, there's no sound. I checked in Control Panel and it says there's no sound device... does that mean the sound card is broken?
PS - I checked that it's not on mute, etc.

It is plugged in, it was working fine yesterday... it turns on for like 5 seconds (literally), and then it just turns off and if powered off and on it does the same... I am using the same computer with a different monitor right now, so it isn't the computer obviously...

Also, if you unplug it from the computer, it doesn't do anything (like, it doesn't reset as when you turn the monitor off and on)...

Any help would be great, thanks...
