Hi,

I am visiting India and I am planning to buy a new laptop for my friend in India. I came to know that the power adaptor cannot detect power fluctuations sometimes and so it harms the laptop. Has anyone faced similar problems like this? If so, is there any alternative other than not using the laptop in India.

Thanks,
ACP

I just got Cyberlink PowerDVD 6.5 and for some reason when I put any type of DVD format cd's my computer won't even read them. They won't even load up. All that comes up is a little CD next to the mouse and it blinks on and off then goes away and nothing happens after that. I tried trouble shooting and it tells me that I might need a DVD decoder. is that it? Also if so where can I get a free decoder?

To be specific, if you have the dimm memory, is there an easy way to tell the type, size and manufacturer of the memory without putting it on a motherboard and booting the computer up?

Recently I bought an Adaptec game bridge. This allows me to use my laptop screen as a monitor to play xbox360 on. Today in the mail I got my windows vista upgrade for my laptop, I installed it, I barely had anything saved up my computer so I didnt use the recovery disks.

When i went to reinstall my gamebridge, there is this little green light that should go on when I plug the usb connector into 1 of my 3 usb ports. I pluged it into the port i was using originally and the green light did not turn on. Then I plugged it into the port on the right side and it installed fine.

Then I uninstalled it it again and plugged in again to both usb ports on left side of my laptop to no avail. Now the only thing that works on the left side is my mouse. Anyone know wuts wrong?

These is my current computer:
Asus P5RC-LE
Pentium4 524 (P) HT 3.06 GHz
512 MB of RAM
Integrated graphic card
200 GB SATA 7200 rpm


I'm planning to upgrade my RAM to this http://www.newegg.com/product/product.as...
or this http://www.newegg.com/product/product.as...
I also want to upgrade my power supply to around 600W

Now my question is, if I decide to buy a Geforce 8800, can my computer handle it after the upgrade or will I need to upgrade my motherboard and processor too to get this to work?
Or should I stick with DX9 cards like the ATI x19xx or Geforce 79xx?

Should I upgrade anything?

Alternating dark and light horizontal lines appear when trying to print photos. Such lines do not appear when printing plain black text. I've tried cleaning heads, aligning heads, setting half-tone to diffusion, all as suggested in owner's manual. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks
