Add-ons - September 2006

This is what happened , i reinstall my comp because the internet wouldn't work and i install the games The Sims but somehow it said i need Directx 9.0 and i install it and everything but after that it still doesn't work and i troubleshoot the directx 9.0 using the Directx Diagnostic tool and it said on the notes" the system is using the generic video driver . Please install video driver provided by the hardware manufacture " and second one said " direct 3d fuctiionally not available . You should verify that the driver is a final version from the hardware manufacture "
Now , since i reinstall my computer , The Sims' games used to work but now it doesn't , i don't know what's all this stuff means , can anyone please help ??? because i try everything

I already have two SATAs the main one I have is a nice WD 74GB raptor, both drives work great.

I just found a 300GB Ultra ATA Seagate Barracuda that my dad had around the house and would love to add it to my system. I noticed I have two IDE slots available on my motherboard for that.

I want to know if I can add the Barracuda (without formatting it) so I can access the current data, wich I believe are photos.

Again, all I want to do is make sure I can add it and that it won't cause any trouble with my other SATAs drives and most importantly, that I can do it without having to format the drive so I can access its contents.

If this is possible, what is the safest way to go about it?

I know there's lots written about graphics cards but it's hard to tell if they are passively cooled or not. Anything half decent these days makes a lot of noise and I'd rather have the quiet end of the spectrum - but then I don't want a naff card either.

Would any AGP x8 card work, I know that some times there may be issues with voltages.

I have an Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe Socket AM2 motherboard with no LPT port on the rear panel. It only has an onboard connector. Here's the kicker. They didn't include the 26-1 pin ribbon connector to enable the port. Does anyone know where I can get one? Or can I just use the standard slim-type 26-pin connector?
