Hardware - June 2007

went to fry's to order a new a/c adapter for my laptop. So far its been 4 business days (6 normal days), and well they promised me it done in 2 business days-im also traveling in 2 days, WHAT SHOULD I DO?! i need the computer for business, and what im typing on doesnt respond to my business program...Fry's service is really dull-and they have no clue when the thing will come-Any Suggestions?
Im traveling to a foreign country with no Fry's company for 6 months, and theyre really pissing me off...i asked them-and they said im entitled to "nothing" because its all free under my warranty....
Im in a real midst of anger and their policy isnt plausible at all...their reliability isnt flaunt in any way and im getting pissed-WHAT SHOULD I DO....? Can i get an a/c adapter from them?

My notebook has two USB 1.1 ports and only one Type III PCMCIA slot. When I got my D-LINK router, it came with a DWL-G122 802.11g Wireless USB Adapter. I also purchased a DWL-G630 D-LINK AirPlus G 802.11g Wireless PCMCIA Adapter. I installed the drivers for the DWL-G630 and have been using it ever since with no problem. I also got a PCMCIA card with Firewire and USB 2.0 ports so that I can use my external (Firewire) hard drive.

Because I have only one Type III slot, I can only either get on the Net (with the DWL-G630) or use my external HDD (via the Firewire card) but not both at the same time. So, my question is: can I install the drivers for both the DWL-630 and the DWL-G122 on my PC at the same time? That way I can plug in my Firewire/USB 2.0 card to use the HDD, and plug my DWL-G122 to get Internet access (the slot is otherwise used by the DWL-G630 for that purpose), or if I want to use the PCMCIA slot for the DWL-G630 instead I can do that too.

Thanks.

I need to reload the software, but have lost the disk. The card is a D-Link DWL-650. The company provides the drivers, but no software because it's an older card. Any suggestions?

A friends Grandmothers computer has had some viruses on it and she's been wanting to get it to me to fix. I'm not really sure if viruses can cause these kinds of problems. Anyway i have it now and when you plug it in the power button is lit up (shouldn't be till you push power) and nothing comes on. I'm not even getting the power supply fan. I've tried a different power supply and unpluged everything and it's still the same story. I thought maybe it was the switch itself but i jumped the motherboard and still nothing. It would be cheaper to buy a new pc than to replace the processor or motherboard in this one and I know emachines are junk but i hate to see her have to buy a new pc because of what this crappy company calls a product. Anyway I was hoping that someone would have some other ideas as to what i could try.

Changed the default program to paint shop because I wanted to make pictures sizes smaller so I can email pictures, however when I did they changed in image quality now I can't find the original program that opened them, would it be easier to just restore the entire computer to before I changed the program.

It has been doing this for about a couple of months. My bf put in new memory and an additional hard drive, but the problem still persists. Should i have the old (first hard drive) taken out...would that fix it. I've tried recovery disks, done maintenance, ran virus protections....
