I'm using an Nvida 7300SE with RCA composite out, and when I connect using an RCA=>Scart adaptor (which I know works), I get no picture. It's over a 10 metre cable, and I'm trying to run a monitor over the SVGA connection at the same time. Changing the monitor settings doesn't help. Any ideas out there? Thanks!

I should be able to handle a total of 512 megs of ram but it won't let me install both 256 ram sticks. I tested all of the sticks. My system will run with any of the 256 sticks by themselves so I know they both are good. The system will let me run one 256 stick with one 128 stick with no problems.
Here is the error message paraphrased so I don't write a novel: "a problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. If this message appears again, the bios in this system is not fully ACPI compliant. Please get an updated bios."
If you need to know, my computer is an HP Pavilion xt953. I don't know much about bios so please be patient in your explanation. thanks

I've got a limited budget, and don't mind a little cosmetic damage (scratches/scuffs), performance is more important to me, as I'd probably just scratch a new laptop anyway.
Could anyone suggest somewhere that does cheap, refurbished laptops?

The PC Link light on my modem is off when I connect it to my desktop, but it still works through my laptop. I called Comcast and after a series of tests they said my ethernet card was fried. I have no experience messing with the insides of the tower. Is technical know-how required to replace the ethernet card or it is as simple as taking the old one out and putting in the new one? Do you know of a good place to get a new one? I'm running windows XP. Thanks.

When I put the paper into the paper loader, and I print something, it starts to take the paper but then it doesnt load straight. It starts to force the paper to a side making the paper fold. then the printer wont take the paper.

Hi!

I have an old PC. Spec: Windows ME, 1GHz AMD Processor with 512MB RAM.

My PC fails to load up now and i have fixed it on numerous occasions before (with different problems). Im considering purchasing a new PC but i dnt want to lose the data i have on my old hardrive.

Is there a way of copying the data from my old PC to my new PC without turning the old PC on (as it fails to go on at at!!)? Is there some cable or harware that i can use to do this?



Thanks!

“Drive 1 not found: Serial ATA, SATA-1
Strike F1 key to continue, F2 to run the setup utility.”

I just bought a brand new computer with a DVD-rom drive and I usually get this message when booting up. Worse, the drive won't even open to place the disc in when you press eject (but is definitely in there, I opened up and looked inside.) Can anyone help me with this problem? I'm completely baffled.
