I have an AGP graphics card with 512mb (x1950pro), and my pc has 1.5gb ram.
How should I set my AGP aperture, or should I disable AGP write altogether?

I want to get an all in one photo printer. We wouldn't be using the photo part much but sparingly, but would definitely use the regular printer for black and white and color printing. Are these three separate cartridges or does it all come from one source, leaving the photo color quality lacking if you run out of color ink.

I am learning the ABC's of this, hence the simple question.

The computers starts ok, and then takes me to my desktop, but when I try to do anything in it, it shuts down and comes up with the error about the bad_pool_caller. Also when is starting up I get this message about sgtray.exe, and I click allow and install driver but it doesn't do it. What can I do to fix this problem, should I erase the hard drive? and if so, how?
Thank you...

I just bought a Dell 640m but I do not like the preloaded Vista. I reformatted the disk and installed Windows XP. For whatever reason, the CD that comes with my laptop does not come with all the drivers. I went to Dell's website, but still did not find all the drivers needed. Now my computer is lacking network controller driver (thus, it cannot even connect to internet), wireless driver, sound, video.... What should I do?

To continue, I must begin by saying that my motherboard was manufactured in 2004, but there have been more versions ot the bios published since then. I don't think that this is relevant. (But I could be wrong.) The thingsthat I wanted to say earlier (but was deprived of saying due to length constraints) are as follows:

1) The windows xp setup disk will not reformat my hard drive agfain. It crashes when I run setup.

2) Enabling LBA mode as the drive label advises me to do results in a system crash. This occurs before I can even exit the bios.

3) Can anyone give me some insight? If not , don't bother responding. If so, I am greatly indebted to you.

Hi, I am trying to boot my old computer (purchased about 6 years ago) that I have not used in a year. But now everytime I booted it, nothing would show up on the screen, and after a few seconds, I would hear this alarm like noise that alternates between two high and low pitched sounds. First I unplugged the harddrive's power, but the beeping continued. Does anyone recognize the problem? Thank you.

I have a few questions;
A.) Can someone please explain how Bill Gates apparenly stole all Apple's ideas, and how apparently Windows Vista is like Windows version of the current iMac?
B.) How do you feel about the iPhone, which is all touch screen. Now actual keys (except sleep/wake/home).
