just got a seagate external hd. it hooked up and recognized fine, but now whenever i reboot or power cycle, there's a problem loading the os. it won't boot till i turn off the external hd, reboot, and then turn it back on once it's booted xp. i want to be able to just have the external hd on all the time and re boot my computer at will.

btw, im running xp pro on a year old hp office computer.

I just bought a HP Deskjet D4160 printer. I was hooking everything up when I realized that it didn't come with a USB cable. How do I know which cable will work with my printer?

I've recently added an Nvidia Geforce 7600 GT to my pc, which I think is gd enough for my motherboard. Yet, sometimes, my computer still chugs and lags when I set the games' graphics setting to the highest. Is it the matter of low RAM memory or low frame rate of processor?

I have a VGA (next to a DVI) slot on my PC for monitor input, and a VGA slot called 'PC input' on my LCD TV.

When I connect both with a VGA cable and select 'PC input' on my TV, it says no signal, any idea why this doesn't work? Thanks

She's left me a message on ansaphone saying she presses the button for the pc to start.. and it powers up.. and looks like it will boot up.. but doesn't, and screen remains dark - it doesn't go to the XP welcome/account screen.

(Hmm its just occured to me I best check the cable monitor hasn't come out of back of pc or monitor itself)

Any suggestions really welcome so I can go prepared with some things to try ? Thanks. :)

I got a message that said "Remote user is browsing your library. Connection is closed by remote peer." Someone recommended I wipe my harddrive, should I? Should I worry? Could my next door neighbor be browsing my library?

Are gaming RAMs (Kingston HyperX series and Corsair XMS series) usually meant for overclocking? Because I don't want to overclock since I don't know how and I heard it hurts you RAM. And are the specs they give (ex: 2-3-3-6) overclocked specs. I heard that you maually had to set the timing in the BIOS screens, thus making it the overclocked specs. Which of the following RAM do you reccomend?

Feel free to post any other RAM you would reccomend. I have an ASUS P5RC-LE (Altair-GL8). I am looking for 2 gigs only.

I've heard of some computer technicians saying that we must make sure that the memory of the RAM has to be 2 times the memory of GPU. Is this true? Recently, I always encounter a problem. While I was playing game, the pc suddenly shuts down. This problem has been repeating for many times. For ur info, my RAM is 768MB and my graphics card is 512MB. Is there a certain ratio between RAM and GPU memory to have peak performance?

I recently had my laptop repaired, because the OS did not boot properly. The repair center told me they replace the planar card. I don't know what the card does. Does it have anything to do with loading OS?

I have a Nokia 6020 and an unofficial (I think) CA-42 data cable bought off ebay. It continues to pop-up with:

'USB Device Not Recognised
One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognise it.'

I've tried downloading the software from the nokia website and from the disk that came with the cable, uninstalling the other version before installing the alternative, several times, blowing in the USB port and everything, turning the PC on and off - really, everything I can think of and that I've read I think I've tried.

I don't want to shell out £30 for another official cable from Nokia to find that the same problems occur with that one.

Anyone out there who can help??????? Pleeeeeeeeeease?
