Hardware - May 2007

Hi... Does anyone knows how to connect a very old computer (Commodore, Sinclair, Atari 400, etc) to my PC monitor computer? I've read something about connecting a TV Tuner Card that support NTSC/PAL to my PC and plug the old computer in the TV card, but I haven't found anything like it...

Any ideas?

I have a Benq joybook 5000U and im having problems with the screen.I think its the graphics card because the i have yellow lines going down on the screen and my computer is forced to put it into its lowest setting.But if it is the graphics card then i dont know if i can change it because it is integrated and i dont know what else to do cause i have updated the driver and bios so does that mean i pretty much screwed or is their a solution to this?

I currently have an 80GB hard drive, but I'm buying a 300GB new one. My plan is to have the OS in the new one, and have the 80GB one as slave. How do I do this? I know I must first install the OS in the new one, but after placing the old one as slave, will I have to format it?

Ok, so Im saving up for a brand new dual-core AMD processor, and a new motherboard. I know that when you install a new processor and motherboard your Operating System needs to be re-installed, and some drivers can become whack. My question is would it just be so much easier to buy a bigger harddrive (Right now I only have an 80Gig and looking to buy a 250Gig) and start from scratch? I realize I'll lose everything on my 80Gig but that's a chance Im willing to take if I can have more memory in the long run.

P.S I can only have one harddrive in my computer from issues.

My laptop suddenly stop working and whenever I turn it on it would go to this page that says
"Please highlight one of the following:
1) Save Mode
2) Save Mode Networking
3) Save Mode (something)
4) Go to last configuration
5) Start Windows up
I try doing all of those but it keeps saying some program is messed up. What do I do? Do I need to take it to a shop to fix it? And how much would it cost?

I want to buy a video card for my PC and i was told that my power supply needs to be 450W. Mine is 400W so i was told its still ok... But i was told that my power supply must also have many Amps or something to do with the Amps... Is there a chance i get a graphic card and these Amps cause a problem?

I know now what is missing from my computer, at the bottom it now says \System32\hal.dll is missing and i should reinstall it. But kinda clueless on how to make that happen. Reformating is the last thing I want to try.

I have Toshiba satellite. One of my friend has a habit of pointing the things at screen by touching the screen, sometime by tapping it (to add emphasis) and sometime by rolling his finger across the screen as if to underline. I am afraid it may damage my laptop screen. I would like to make sure if fear is real ? Please help.

I bought a dvd drive from a computer expo a few years ago, and I haven't been able to burn dvds.
It is a Nec DVD-RW ND-1300A
I saw some firmware floating around the internet, but I don't want to install an unverified driver.
Has anyone else had a similar problem?
I tried the NEC site, but I don't think they offer the driver online...

The computer is Emachines, 256 MB Ram. I purchased it in 2003. Power definitely comes on, and the Hard Disk Drive access indicator light is always on.
The computer has a floppy disk, but there is no disk in the drive, and there is no cd or dvd in the cd or dvd players.

I at least want to access my pictures! How do I get back in? Has my hard drive crashed? Is it repairable?

HELP!

Thank you!
