Hardware - November 2007

I bought an Inspirion 600m around 2 years ago.. About 6 months ago, the video started to stutter, like any DVDs I played, things on youtube, unrelated to that, I got a huge virus so had to reformat my computer, so I installed windows vista ultimate.. now my video card is not compatible with vista, so I can't watch dvds, and things on youtube are still stuttering.. So here's the quesiton, how do I upgrade my video card, like physically, what do I remove and replace for my laptop, and what video card should i install that works for vista and would work on an inspiron 600m??

This is an iConcepts 800-watt 2.1 sound system for PCs and whatnot. The price is $17.98. This sounds like a typo, is it? It's on Wal-Mart, here> http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=3380777

If it isn't a typo, does anybody have this system? Is it worth buying? How does it sound?

It prints fine, but whenever I try to scan a picture it keeps saying that the USB cable is not connected. But it is. I don't know what to do. I tried reinstalling the printer and unplugging and replugging the USB cable.
Any suggestions?

All is working properly except key no 2 which is not as responsive as before, any idea what I,ve done and can it be rectified?

Hey there!

basically, i have a computer at home, but i am going to college next year, not moving away, but it might be good if i had a laptop that was really light and i could take anywhere with me.

most laptops are about £400, but nice ones like vaio are £600.£800, £1,3000 pounds!

i am getting a job, only working one day a week as i am 16, so i get about £170s a month which is about $340 maybe??

so if i bought a asus, i could get it really quick like two months, and have money over to save for a car!

but am i just wasting my money?

thank you!

Recently i asked my uncle to give me an SD card for my mp4 player when he will go back to California. Unfortunately, i was glad that he bought me a Kingston 1Gb SD card which would give me extra memory for my mp4 player, but my excitement turned into a complete disappointment and frustration since when i tried to fit the SD card ,it won't fit into the device. There i realized that there's a watermark in the device's SD slot indicating that it requires a Mini SD...now i don't know what to do with the SD card coz it is useless now for mp4. I dont want to tell my uncle about it coz im sure he'd be disappointed for giving him the wrong info and he would feel that his efforts was in vain and he can't go have a replacement since he would have to travel for another 40 hours to go back to California. But now i'm anxious about it coz i don't want to just let the SD card go to waste. Now, i am thinking of buying a new mobile phone and hoping that there's a model that will suit my SD card.
