If your computer says re-writable on the cd-rom drive does that mean that you can burn you pictures from your computer onto a cd from your drive?

I'm starting to work as a photographer and will like to purchase an external drive to accomodate all my photos...I know is not a good idea to keep them in your system, and putting them on disk is not a route I want to take...

Please let me know your opinion. Thanks

Something got downloaded and I had to restore to factory settings only prob is now the monitor isn't using the whole screen.It's not the rfesolution already tried. The monitor is actingly like a one of those 17 inch old monitors. Is there something that has to be changed for the pc to recognize that I'm using the HD monitor?

I've just loaded XP on to an old PC but now the @ and " symbols are both in the wrong place (swapped places) does anyone know why and what I need to do to correct it?
Thanks, Dave.

New laptop came with Vongo, but it uses up a lot of system resources for a program I don't use. So uninstalled it through add/remove programs. Vongo kept trying to reinstall itself and eventually laptop would not boot up. So had to reinstall Windows Vista but only had the retail version so Vongo is gone but I am missing lots of programs. More importantly Quickplay will not work and my built-in webcam is now useless.
Contacted HP technical help and was told that I would have to purchase recovery CD or jump through several hoops such as downloading quickplay from a non HP website with the warning that if I do and the laptop gets screwed, they are not responsible.
Apparently they are also charging 19.95 for Vongo to be removed.
So basically they installed a program onto a new laptop that messes up the laptop if you uninstall it. And they want you to pay for them to fix it. There are lots of people out there interested in suing Vongo or HP. Can I sue and can it go class-action

I've had a laptop returned to me, from a field employee that, won't turn on. It is fairly new. It has a CentrinoDuo processor. The battery physically tests at 50% power, but the laptop is getting no juice. I've tried plugging in the a/c. I've also tried plugging in the a/c and removing the battery. Nothing seems to get the laptop to turn on or receive any juice whatsoever. Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated!! :)

I have a Intel Celeron D 2.8GHz PC with 14" Monitor. It uses about 180W of power on a 230V grid. My power bill isn't exactly home friendly now. I need to know if there is a Power Supply Unit that uses less power. One guy on a chat channel said his PC consumes power less than a light bulb. I really need away to lower my power bill. I use the PC a lot.

Thanks

I'm going to, like the title says, buy a good gaming computer for Christmas. But I don't know what is a good gaming computer. I want to play games like Medieval 2: Total War, so what are the ideal specs a computer should have to play it well? The system requirements only say what is needed, not what is ideal.

I don't want to have to buy Alienware computers, just something with better graphics that can play recent (or even last year's, because I like those games) games. My graphics card as it is now is ****.
