i've asked this question twice already but with no answer to get the assistance i need. i don't have a boot disc for my Dell computer running Windows XP but i need to reboot it. i've been told by a Best Buy Geek Squad person that if the Ctrl + F11 + some other button (that i've forgot and can't find that person now) is held on a restart, a Dell computer that it will do a reboot and be like it was right off the line at the Dell factory. if this sounds like something you can help me with.... please send me your idea and thanks.

I currently have a 4:3 lcd monitor but I want to get a widescreen for xmas, but I dont know whether my graphics card would support it.
I have a nvidia geforce 6200 and on my computer it says I have a maximum of 1280x1024 for screen resolution and 75 hertz refresh rates.
The nvidia website isnt much help. Does anyone know?

the motherboard in question is a MSI K7N2 delta2, but im asking last as in 'electronically last', not 'keep up with the times last'

if i dont do overclocking, i do regular dusting, i dont overwork it by keeping it on 24/7.. how long can it last and not burn/short a circuit? are there any ways to help it last?

Hi,
I was trying to install a PCI card (firewire) and it didn't work properly on my old dimension 4500 desktop. The device manager was showing the yellow exclamation mark on the firewire card (as if it didn't find the drivers etc).
However, when I switched the PCI ports, everything went fine. Then I tried other cards, and they too behaved similarly (didn't work on that particular port).
Apart from replacing the motherboard, what other solutions are there to fix this problem?

Thanks.

I brought my daughter a laptop of ebay for christmas with 7 days return garuentee and i payed through paypal.so i got the laptop and it was excellent its a compaq evo n1020v with with windows xp profesional but after the 7 days it started to freeze randomly and even though the battery doesnt hold charge (which we knew about before we brought it anyway) when i unplug the mains it dont switch off so i have to hold the power button in to turn it off then sometimes when you restart it always turns on but sometimes the screens blank or sometimes it works for a bit then freeze's suddenly so i re-installed windows xp and still it freezes , i rang hp for support they are suggesting its either the HD THE MEMORY OR THE MOTHERBOARD how much do think this will cost? should i try get my money back from paypal? can i still after 7 days garentee get it back? or can i repair it myself ?
