OK, I have a computer at work that sucks and without the Admin. permissions I can't fix it.
My question is, if I hook up a USB hardrive with a OS on it, can I pull the shortcuts of the work PC hard drive and use it. I need programs that are installed on my work PC to log into my phone etc.

THANKS

The toolbar is stuck on top the secondary screen. The blue bar is so far up that I can't double click on it to minimize it or move it. I've tried arranging the icons... I've tried restarting the program and my computer. Nothing works. Please help.

Obviously it could only operate at 150 speeds, but is it okay to connect a SATA300 HD to a 150 interface?

I have a Dell Dimension 8300 with Windows XP that was running 512MB RAM (2 X 256mb) I bought 2 sticks of 1 GB RAM and installed them. The new ram is the correct ram for the motherboard and matches the already installed ram. The bios on the computer correctly reads the amount of ram and the speed. However Windows only shows 504MB of Ram total no matter what configuration of RAM we install in the computer. I have updated the BIOS (even though it always read the amount correctly) and updated windows and the drivers on the computer as much as I can. But nothing seems to work. Windows will only show 504MB of RAM. I've tried putting different amounts of RAM each of the 4 slots. I've tried running it in Single and Dual mode. No matter waht it's 504MB of RAM showing on XP. And always the BIOs has it right. Any ideas people? I'm at a loss.

Hi there. Can anyone help please?! I'm running AutoCAD 2005 on Windows 2000 Professional and have just bought a new Belinea Artistline 22" Widescreen monitor. I can't seem to adjust it to it's full resolution and the screen within AutoCAD is really squashed/stretched, i.e. a square look like a rhombus. I've updated the driver, but still no joy. Not sure if this could be a graphics card problem? I have an ATI Rage 128 card and the computer is about 5 years old. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi guys. I need serious help. I have bought this Toshiba laptop less than a year ago and it has always been perfect. About last week, it started crashing all the time one day with everything frozen, especially the starts bar. I have tried everything, virus scan, spyware scan and nothing work. So in the end I formated this and reinstalled everything. So I thought it would be all ok. It was until I reinstalled Offices, and ran the Mircosoft update, the start bar began to freeze from time to time again. (like now) It reli gets on my nerves now, Since I cant even restart it!!! Please!!! Any computer-Masters, I need your helps.

I'm such a simpleton I don't like to fool with msconfig.
And I'd rather spend my money on other things, I mean
other than programs. This is a choice directly related
to the amount of time a person has, I know.

I keep on getting this "disc burner or software not found" crap when I'm trying to burn a mp3 cd. It does the same on Windows Media Player and it's really starting to piss me off bad. Can't even burn music...wtf?? The drive can still play mp3 cds on here. I know the drive is compatible because I've been burning cds for years and plus it shows the drives name under preferences. Has anybody had a problem like this?? Thank god I'm getting a laptop soon cuz I don't wanna deal with this crap again. So anybody recognize this problem and know how to solve it?

If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.

I have upgraded my ram to 1 gb but still my pc is running slow.I have an intel cpu which runs at 1.7ghz. I have seen that there are newer and more powerul cpus out there and was wondering whether I need to upgrade to a better one. Would this effectively make my pc run alot faster? Will I need to replace my exsisting motherboard to do this?
