I've recently bought a Mac, and i've had it for about 3 months, it didn't have internet however, but everything was running quietly and smoohly. I just got nternet about 2 days ago, and still everything ran perfectly. It was a little while ago where it started making this really loud noise... like a vacuum. It nevere did that before. What could that possibly be? I hope it's not a virus.

Ok, I have a MicroSD memory chip, and a Lexar USB thing that you put your chip into, then the Lexar thing into your USB drive. I have a Dell Latitude D800 Laptop. Everytime I connect the chip to my computer, a new drive shows up as USB Mass Storage device. That is what I want. However, when I try to drag and drop files into "Drive E: Removeable Disk", it says "Please Insert A Disk Into Drive E." It won't let me access the chip at all, or save files to it .It is acting like it is a CD drive without a CD in it. Please Help?

I have a Dell Demension 4400 with only a 250 watt power supply. I want to upgrade my video card to a higher end one but many require much higher than mine has. I've looked at specifically made dell power supplies and came to the conclusion that the price was just too high (80 dollars for only 350W). I've also heard that not all power supplies will fit in my case. So does anyone know a power supply 450W+ that will work for me?

I keep getting a window box that pulls up titled "Select Device," and then in the box the words "The specified location does not contain information about your hardware." I've tried accessing drivers BOTH on the manufacturer's CD-ROM, and then copying the files to my C:\ and accessing them, there...

HELP!

My PC is 5 years old, and at this point, I'll probably run out to Circuit CIty and buy the HP AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 3800+ package they have on sale this week for $520 (after rebates).

I'll probably leave by 7:30PM EST to buy a PC, so if you have any thoughts, I'd REALLY appreciate it. Thanks!

P.S. This whole thing started because I couldn't have my PC communicate with my LXK X3350 3-in-1 printer. The printer works, and I tried another cord last night - to no avail. So, I thought it might be the USB port. So, I got a PCI port with "new" USB 2.0 pors, but the motherboard won't recognize it / the driver...

I want to connect 2 computers, a Dell E521 XP and a Compac Presario ME to the same monitor without having to connect and disconnect them every time I need to switch from one to the other. I've been told I can get a KMV Switch. Does Dell carry something like that? Does Dell have a different name for this item? How much does it cost and will it work? If you know the item number, even better (so I can order it)

I have a Dell Lattitude notebook (don't ask what series, all i know is that i bought it last year for about EUR1200). Two days ago my computer had flat batt, but I used it to make a short DVD presentation anyway because I didn't have the charger with me. My client warned me that I shouldn't leave the battery completely empty.

Since yesterday my computer won't turn on. I've plugged it in electricity, but while the cable indicates that there's current running through the cord, but my notebook doesn't flash the light indicating that it's receiving the electricity. Other than that my lappy's simply turned into a vegetable--it just won't do anything, period. How do I breathe life back into lappy without losing all my data? Thanks!
