I loaded the software, but how do I use the space as additional RAM. I expected a driver or something to do that. Thanks.

I've tried two different set of speakers, so that's not the problem. When I plug the speakers in, it comes up as no audio device.

I have a newly built computer with a P5k deluxe mobo (won't boot to windows vista 64 installation CD). I've tried just about everything (boot device order, DVD drive jumpers, switching memory, booting from winXP, ubuntu, and a used hard drive, using a different dvd drive, resetting CMOS, upgrading BIOS) i think i may have messed up while installing the heatsink.. could abnormally high temperatures be causing the error message: "reboot and select proper boot media or insert boot media in selected boot device a press a key"?

Well each tim I put the monitor on the 1024 by 768 resolution, all four sides are stretched out and curved so you cant see them, I know how to adjust it using the monitor settings buttons on the monitor but it won' move at all

because of this I am forced to use 800 by 600 resolution

will reseting the monitor solve this problem? Or is there a way to change the settings so that it supports the bigger resolution?

Hi, I'm asking this on behalf of a friend, who's running XP.

He's having issues with the size of everything on his computer, it's like everythings been blown up.

We've tried everything - fiddling with the monitor, changing the text/window size in properties, and we've tried changing the resolution but it won't move from 600 x 480.

It's been like this for some time.

Help!

I have a Compaq laptop that I want to wipe my hard drive for. I also have the hard drive from my old PC hooked up to an external hard drive case.

I want to wipe the old hard drive via the external hard drive hook up, transfer all my important files from my laptop to my external hard drive, then wipe my laptop's hard drive. Then I'll install Windows Vista, and transfer all my files back from my old hard drive to my laptop.

How do I actually wipe the hard drives, and what is the best method of doing all this?

My computer was coming up with an error for lsass.exe, and restarting my computer repeatedly. On the last attempt it brought Windows up and is working fine, but I'm afraid that if I shut it down it will not come back up. Should I restore my computer to the date it last worked properly? Or will it potentionally mess my computer up further? I've run a virus scan, and it is not the virus. I believe it is a problem with the system settings. And will restoring it to a previous date more than likely fix the issues I am having?
