Hey. So I managed to knock my LG Flatron LCD Monitor, which cost me over £250 when i bought it :(, off the edge of my desk. It seems to have landed on my mouse, therefore cracking. It seems that the (excuse my limited knowledge :p) outter screen has not been damaged, but if i feel the screen it feels like think Broken Ice, if you will... 3/4 of the screen went white when turned on and a mass of multicoloured lines runs through this white background. The other 1/4 of the screen works as normal. Does this damage sound repairable or would the cheaper alternative be to simply buy a new monitor? Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance.

It seems like constant scanning of your entire disk for new or changed files would put a lot of strain on your hard drive. Will a hard drive that is backed up every night fail sooner than one that is only backed up every week? Have any studies been done on this?

I am using Vista. My DVD drive is telling me that a disc is installed even though the drive is empty. I am advised to "save any files open on the disc and then close files and programmes before ejecting the disc". I have tried a restore but am advised that there are no restore points available.

I bought a portable hard drive and it worked great with my XP laptop. Then, I plugged it into my other laptop, which uses Vista. One of the folders on the hard drive is named "My Documents" - it was fine with XP but then Vista changed the "My Documents" folder (on the external hard drive) to a "shortcut" file type and now clicking on that folder only opens "My Documents" on the computer it is plugged into.

I have tried changing the "target" and "location" under the folder's properties, but it only tells me this is not allowed.

Any suggestions for changing the folder type so it's no longer a shortcut folder type?

Or... any suggestions for accessing all the files on the portable hard drive other than clicking on this particular folder?

Thanks!

i think my kids put in a hub instead of a port on my computer now it wont work - is there a way to check and see if it can be fixed - or is there a place that i can send the whole stick and have a disc made of the photos on it - i am really upset about this whole situation - maybe its just out of kilter somehow - i tried to fix it by the sandisk site but for some reason my computer wont let me delete the files they tell me to take out to reinstall the usb stick - maybe thats not the right way to go anyway - or is it possible that the contacts are dirty and can they be cleaned - i have about 500 photos on it and would hate to lose them especially since i was just getting ready to transfer them to a new stick today

Hi
I have reinstalled my Windows XP and now I do not have sound on my computer.
The sound driver that is compatible with my motherboard is Realtek 97 but the problem is that when I go to my devices it shows another audio device (C-Media AC97) that a yellow question mark nearby. I cannot install Realtek 97 instead untill i can get rid of this C-MEDIA ac97, which I dont even know why shows up.
Please help.

I just got a Samsung LNT-4071F 40" LCD TV (1080P, 120Hz, 25000:1 contrast) and a XFX Alpha Dog 8800 GT (670MHz, 512MB) card. Trying to get the best performance out of it, so I had some questions (and this is all new to me).
- XP is listing the monitor as a generic running at 60Hz. The TV runs at 120Hz. Do I need to either change the Hz in windows (there isn’t any other Hz listed though), or is there a profile for the TV I can find? I figure since the Samsung has a ‘game mode’ and a computer input that they would have some kind of profile for XP.
- I’m running a DVI to HDMI cable. Is there anything I need to do to make the image high definition? (A setting or something) Or is it automatically running in HD.
- Okay, I’ll make this easy. Can anyone tell me what I need to make sure I do to get it running the best it can? Any settings for the TV, video card, or in XP itself that I need to change? Thanks for any advice.

I've tried adjusting the monitor settings, resetting it to default, etc and nothing has helped. Is my monitor going out (less than 2 years old) or is there something I can adjust to fix it? Thanks!
