for some reason, when i type on my keyboard, the letters that have a number in the top right hand corner on them come up on the screen as the number instead of the letter. i have to hold down Fn in order to type those letters and its really annoying. can anyone tell me how to get it back to normal typing?

It used to be somewhat easy..

A Pentium 4 was better than a 3.

A 1.2Ghz was slower than a 2.5Ghz

Now with all this Core dou 2 dou Core crap I have no idea what's what. They don't even list speeds anymore. Help!

Hi Guys,
my last PC finally died a few months ago due to over-exhertion and a few nasty viruses. Anyway, i've finally got some money together to buy a new one. A mate of mine is selling his because he needs the money for a house he's buying.
The spec for the PC is as follows:

AMD 3200+ 2.0ghz processor
1GB Ram
100GB Hard Drive
XFX G-Force 6 Series graphics card

also comes with two 512MB memory sticks and full surround sound system.

Does anyone know if this is a good machine or not, and roughly how much it should be selling for?

I'm getting the hal.dll. missing or corrupt message and cannot start windows xp. Tried bootcfg and the rest (rebuild) but nothing works.. If I install xp again, will it wipe my current files??
Also, could I take out the harddrive, hook it up as a slave on another pc and drag the files over? Thanks

I print Word documents that are 20% text and 80% images. My Lexmark printer will only print 14-15 sheets (with a brand new cartridge) before (a) the images begin fading and (b) I am prompted to think about replacing the cartridge. Should I be considering a pre-owned full-size office printer rather than a small home printer. The cartridge I use costs £15 and therefore each print is costing £1. Is there anybody out there who works principally with images who can recommend an economical printer.

I got a used hard drive. I'm gonna set it as a second / slave hard drive. on the hard drive, there are four different ways to set the jumper as a slave. They are "16 heads", "15 heads", "32GB clip", and "auto spin disablo". Which one should I pick or what difference are they? Thanks.

I was in the middle of writing a message, when suddenly the 'D' key on my keyboard became stuck. In an attempt to free it, I pressed with a little more force and the 'D' key popped out. Now, the letters 'D', along with the letters 'I', and 'N' no longer work!!! (I had to copy & paste those letters to compose this question). THIS IS DRIVING ME NUTS!!! It's a Dell Insperon 6400 if that helps. Thanks in advance.
