I've had my Wacom Graphire for about a year and a half now, and many people have said it is very durable and should last for years. I haven't used it a ton, but somewhat, so I would think it would still be going strong, yet when I tried to use it today it was completely broken; it did not respond to me picking up my pen or clicking, but instead was like the mouse button was being held down constantly and I could not fix it. I tried restarting my computer and switching to a different computer, still the same problems so it is definately my tablet having the problems, not my computer. Help!

I have a Dell Latitude c800, its about 5 or 6 years old , it runs on Windows XP. Don't know if anymore information is needed. I am a little computer illiterate, and I found out my Dell Latitude's hard drive needs to be replaced. I want to do this myself, the Dell manual online seems to be straightforward, but ....
1) How will I retrieve old files after replacing my old hard drive ?
2) Can I retrieve old files before replacing the hard drive
3)What kind of hard drive should I buy,lowest memory is okay


Honestly if I can get my old files I would gladly buy a new laptop, I have had lots of issues with this one. Thanks in advance for any assistance or suggestions.

When adjusting my LCD monitor, I used to have an image that consisted of black and white dots that would take up the entire screen. Using that image, I would be able to push the auto-calibrate button on my monitor and it would use the image to calibrate the screen to a clear, viewable setting. I have since lost such an image. Does anyone know where I can get that image, if not a comparable one? Does anyone else use a similiar method to auto-calibrate their monitors?

I have a very slow laptop and I downloaded Windows XP on it, and this makes it even slower. The original system was Windows ME, and I need to know how to downgrade Windows XP back to Windows ME.

How do I fix it? Please, answer soon. I restarted the computer several times, moved the Applications into my Desktop, and still, they were in the Trash. I opened the Trash folder, they weren't there.

Hello,

My nephew was on my pc today and annoyingly pressed the screen to show me the game he wanted to play. I saw that pressured had been applied like when your fingertip goes white if you press it. Could he have done any permenant damage? It's only a week old and I am paranoid about it getting damaged as I don't really know how durable it is. Thanks

So I put together a computer on a motherboard that was used. There is still a boot password on the computer. I tried to find a jumper or dip switch that would erase BIOS settings but can't find it anywhere. There is a little yellow button that says CMOS next to it and has two "N"s on both sides with arrows coming off of them. I tried pushing that and holding it down for 30 seconds. No dice. Can't find anything. Decided to unplug the computer, unplug power to the motherboard and take out the little battery. Left it out for 15 minutes. Nothing. 2 hours. Nothing. All night,, nothing. No results from any of the above, the boot password is still alive and kicking. What now? Any suggestions? Thanks.

Computer Problems?
I have a Dell Dimension 3000 Desktop computer with Windows XP Home Edition operating system. I damaged my cd drive because the drawer was open, I bumped into it and had to force it to close. Now my computer will not shut off. After I tell it to shut down, it just restarts all over again and I have to manually turn it off while it's shutting down. I tried to disable the drive and delete it, but when the computer restarts again, the drive reappears. Can I get someone to open up my computer and take out the cd drive all together?
