The 30GB (C:) drive on my VAIO is virtually full.... so how do I go about utilising the free 27.6GB free on the (D:) drive. I guess I can store program files but I really need to free up space, before it's starts struggling! How much space can I free up but more importantly how do I go about it safely? It can't be that difficult but I need to know what to do.

(I know things like Encarta etc. take up a relatively lot of space but I guess it needs to stay on (C:) so I can still access it, right?)

I appreciate any help so I can learn. Thanks guys/girls.

My USB adaptor was working fine up until my computer told me i had no operating system. After rescuing my system with the disk provided my Wireless USB adaptor then had no power going to it. I can only assume that this is the probem as the blue light on the front is no longer illuminated! I do not now much about computers or networks so answers need to be in plain english!

Anu help anyone can offer will be most gratefully accepted and appreciated!

Many thanks in advance

A few weeks ago I noticed the lcd display started to have a red tinge to it. Now, every 5 seconds or so, the screen goes so dim that it looks black. If I push in the little button that gets pushed in when you close the screen, it will come back to a bright display, but a few seconds later it will go black. Is my monitor dying?

it already has a GB, and I wanted to add more. I HAVE opened the case and I can see that it has 4 slots for memory, 2 of them are already in use. my computer is still very new, but I'm not afraid to do upgrades myself as I have done them before. my computer is an HP Pavilion running Windows Xp.
I want to add another 1GB stick.. can one slot handle 1 GB?.. in that case, I could (if I wanted) upgrade to a total of 4 GB ..correct?

I have an IBM Thinkpad and am attempting to upgrade the amount of RAM that it has. I looked on the IBM website and it states that this model will support up to 1GB of RAM. I built my destop computer but the motherboard supported up to 4GB so i never had to deal with this problem. So if I was to find a stick of RAM that would fit into the laptop would BIOS recognize it and even if it doesn't would Microsoft Windows XP Pro which i have the laptop running on be able to detect the RAM itself instead of following BIOS. Furthermore does anybody know of a flash upgrade that might update bios to allow larger amounts of memory. While I am well versed with computers I am sure somebody else out there will have more knowledge on this kind of stuff. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have a Dell Inspiron 6000, and I use a notebook mouse with it. I type very fast and find myself sometimes resting my hands on the touchpad. Suddenly, I'm typing away in the wrong place. :( Does anyone know if I can turn the touchpad off since I never use it?

Thanks!

Do they make a printer cable to go from my lexmark X1270 to the parallel port (standard printer port) on my computer to the small about 1/4 inch wide port on my printer, My computer USB ports dont function. Or is there a adapter, or will this work at all. Or will I need a printer with a parallel port ?

Thanks, Wayne

I have mapped drives on my Windows XP that really slow down my startup. Some of the drives are on a VPN that I don't connect to until after startup. How can I keep these drives available but make it so Windows XP doesn't be stupid and take 10 minutes to boot looking for them?
