Hi people, I asked a question earlier as to whether or not i should change my vista operating system to xp and the answers i got said i should, so i did. The problem i have now is i need to find drivers for my ethernet adapter.

I have an Acer 9303 Laptop with an AMD Turion 64 Processor and i can't seem to find the right drivers, any clues???

I definately want a nice gaming experience and a good notebook. Which is why I have chosen the Sentia m3450. However, I hear nothing but good things about the Macbooks. Once filled with the things I want, they both cost almost exactly the sameamount of money. I don't have an ipod (I put my songs on my psp).

Which should I go with? The gaming pc or the awesome Mac?

Okay, I got this crappy 300 dollar computer for my birthday and it only has about 200mb RAM. Should I buy more RAM or just save up and buy a new and better computer with more RAM?

P.S. I dont have job so It'll prolly take a year...or two.

I am looking on carbonfrost.com. Can someone take a look at that for me? I am looking at a just above the 1000 dollar price range. I am looking into the defender and opus. Im not sure which one to get. I am also wondering whether other people think its a good deal and whether its worth it to get the mark 2 rather then mark 1. If your confused. look at the site, youll know what im talking about. thanks a lot

It's coming from my tower and it sounds like its uploading something (when I haven't even put anything in the hard drive or anything) and sometimes it gets really loud, like a fibration noise. It mostly does it when I kinda bang on my desk or set something hard down on my computer desk on accident. But just 10 minutes ago, it appered out of no where and the loudest and longest its ever been. And it also does it when I restart my computer but usually goes away.
It started doing this about 3 months ago...

What is wrong and what should I do?

My best friend owns his Dell XPS 600 in late October 2005. His XPS 600 used to be fast in late 2005, but few months later his computer is becoming old and slow because the new games were far more advanced, new graphics, and very complex now. His computer can barely play these next-gen games like Oblivion. My brother and I built our own-custom gaming computer. We built it in Christmas 2005. Our gaming computer is 2X powerful than my friend's. My friend want me to tweak his computer like new tweaks driver for his graphic card (Nvidia Geforce 6800) and overclocking configuration. It runs perfectly and almost becoming to par as our gaming computer. Few weeks later, my friend's computer screwed up. My friend started to blaming me what I did some tweaking for his system. I told him that I didn't tweak his WHOLE system, but just for his video card. He misunderstood me. My friend started to reinstall the old driver (77.79). Today, he still use the same driver and his games is slower as hell!

I own a Sony laptop, VAIO VGN-TX17GP laptop. I formatted its hard drive and reinstalled Windows on the device, but now I cannot install its drivers. I downloaded all the driver files form this website: http://www.css.ap.sony.com/vaio/website/General/DownloadList.aspx?Model=VGN-TX17GP, but when I try to execute the files, they pop up error messages saying the software is not suitable for my computer model. What can I do?

i have a geforce 8800 gtx with windows vista, i installed the drivers and it works fine for awhile then the comp turns off. But i was always able to turn it back on and reinstall the drivers and it worked again.. i had to do this pretty regularly as my comp always turned off.... today the comp turned off, and when i tried reinstalling the drivers it didn't work! when i initially turn my comp on the boot screen is black with little white blotches.. but it still boots into windows with no problems.. however the desktop stays on windows vista basic and no aero and the driver refuses to work now!... i have an intel core 2 duo e6300.. is there anything i can do to get my comp running normal again without the problems?
