I'm thinking of replacing my 17"LCD monitor with a 26". However, i'm worried 26" might be a bit too big and i'd have to sit as far back as possible. the monitor will sit on my desk and will be used for normal every day tasks such as web browsing and word processing. I'm also looking to connect it to my xbox 360 every now and then. is this a practical size? if not what would be and what featuresshould i look aout for apart from obviously pc input and HD(for the xbox)? thanks

I've got a old Toshiba Satellite 1105 laptop that just won't recognize that the AC adapter's plugged in. Battery's completely dead now, but the "Power cable attached" LED doesn't light up on the laptop with or without the battery inserted. The power adapter's working fine, pumping out the required 19V DC, and I popped open the laptop to check the plug, and it's receiving the same 19V to the Motherboard. I'm not sure where to go from there, anyone have a suggestions. I'm thinking it might be a bad Motherboard, but I'd appreciate any other ideas on this. Thanks --Richard

I typically leave my laptop out in the cold. However, last night it was really cold (24 degrees) and in the morning I tried to turn it on but it would IMMEDIATELY shut off. On the 4th try, it finally powered up and works perfectly fine now. When I do leave it in my car, it's zipped up in a protective laptop bag.
the computer is about 2 months old....do you think something bad happened to it or is it fine? It works fine now, but I just want to know if I may have damaged something.
Thanks

I was just taking a look at the NFS pro street readme and it said that the minimum CPU requirement is a pentium 4 at 2.8ghz. I have a quad core at 2.4ghz with SLI 8500 gt's and 2gb ram, and it is lagging. Could this be a driver issue? What else could be wrong?

I have basic computer knowledge, but, when it comes to the maintence of one... I'm clueless.

I wanting to buy a laptop for my husband & myself for Christmas, we'll use it for the internet, shopping, looking up information, office word, downloading pictures from camera, just simple stuff....

My question is, does it matter what kind I get?

Are laptops something you have to up grade, like cars, take 'em in for service & up to date?

In a couple of years, do I need to buy all this extra stuff to make it faster & better?

Are laptops like cars, loses value, the newer the better?

Help!!!

Both drives have Windows XP installed and have partitions C: D: and E:. How can I connect them in my computer, boot windows from one of them and have the other one as well? See, I need to transfer files from the one to the other. How can I make my PC know which drive to boot from since SATA uses no jumpers?
