Hardware - November 2007

I am looking to buy a new computer, however, I'm not very good at this. I need suggestions on what brand is best in terms of quality,virus protection,life span and whatever else you can tell me about it. Thanks

I have several hundred old 35mm film and slides and need to know which scanner to buy for converting them to digital. I am thinking between £50 - to £120 price range. I would appreciate any tips you may have.

MY computer kept restarting in loops so I decided to reboot it from the computer. It erased everything! And now, I can't hear sound. The only sound my computer plays is the sound you get when an error pops up. It says all my devices are working properly but when I look under audio and video it says no device installed. I tried installing one from the website associated with my laptop and it didn't work. :l Most likley your answer won't make sense to me so try to make it understandable. When it comes to computers, I'm an idiot :/

My internet is runnning on a LAN cable. I am on a desktop. When i move my mouse, the internet speed goes up to its max, but once i stop moving the mouse, the internet speed drops to almost nothing, like 1-2kBps. It really is like this. No doubt.

How do i solve?

Hi,

I'm thinking of buying a laptop in the US rather than in Canada. Canadian dollar is strong now and prices are lower in the US.

But if I buy a computer in the US, will the warranty be honoured in Canada?

I am running on Windows XP and have run into some problems with viruses. My friend suggested I wipe my hard drive. I have found software to do so (Active Kill Disk- http://www.killdisk.com/downloadfree.htm)

I have read over the manual and it suggested before using the software the following should be done:

Will I be able to use my Hard Disk Drive after Active@ KillDisk erase
operation?
To be able to use HDD again you need to:
• -Repartition the hard drive using a standard utility like FDISK.
• -Reformat partitions using a standard utility like FORMAT.
• -Reinstall the Operating System using a bootable CD-ROM.

How exactly do I do all that?

Do I perform those operations AFTER I use the Kill Disk software and then pop in my same Windows XP CD to re-install the OS?

have AVG virus-scan and spyware software and Zone Alarm. All are free...but i still have like 30 trojans on my computer...
because of these I can't access my "Control Panel" or other options to get access to my "C" drive.

I have owned this printer since August, 2007. Both printer and software have worked great on my 2003 Gateway 2.4 ghz machine. Two weeks ago I f-disked my hard drive, reinstalled windows xp & firefox, downloaded the software via HP's website and when the software installation is almost complete, a fatal error message pops up on screen. I am currently communicating via email with an HP rep, however his advice is not helpfull in resolving my issue. My computer recognizes the printer, but the HP software does not recognize I have 'their' printer and therefore shuts down.

tell me Apart from plugging it in, what I have to do to charge the batteries? I am useing it to type this so it works ok but I have it plugged in to the power. I know that the batteries are good because it worked until the batteries run out. Is there a button or something that I have to press? I am a bit stupid so bear with me. I have a wireless router, does this affect it in any way? Help and thanks

in computers we defined a special voltage as "1", and a special voltage as "0" ... why we use 0 and 1 in computers ?! why we don`t define some other voltages as other numbers and use them in computers?!--- excuse me if my question had grammatical problems!---
