I bought a new keyboard and mouse for my Dell 4600 desktop. The new equipment both have USB connections. What is the name of the adapter I need to buy to convert to the other connector (sorry, don't know the name- it's the round one, color-coded, connects to the back of the processor).
Thanks!

bough a new computer 2 weeks ago. The first time we took the "picture card" out of the digital camera and put it into the slot for it on the computer tower, the monitor immediately displayed a list of pictures form the card for us to wiew.
Yesterday, put card in slot to see new pictures, and nothing happened.
Is something wrong, or do we need to open a program or something. I'm not too computer literate. Thank you for your help.

I have been waiting for macbook prices to come down a little bit since a long time. Is it worth waiting? Is my choice of Apple a good one? Or is HP better than apple?

I have had a ton of problems with my Vaio laptop. I am considering a Mac. I basically just use the internet, my classes are online also, write papers, listen to music and store photos on my computer. Should I choose a Mac or a PC? I was debating between a Dell or an iMac probably.

Do you have an account with Newegg.com and would be willing post some small items to the UK for me? There's a few case-fans I'd like, as the UK has very poor quality and highly overpriced case-fans. I can pay by postal-order, money-order or will, if needs be, send cash to pay you for your time. I don't want to have to go to another UK website as this is far too complicated; I already have a website where I will be buying the rest of my chosen equipment from with help of a friend.
Please only respond if you can and want to help with my request listed above; thankyou kindly. :)

Constant scrolling occurs when computer is on. Sometimes can be stopped by hitting Ctrl button. Also, beeps and won't boot up until you hit Ctrl button, sometimes numerous times.
