The end now program popped up, so i hit end now. Now, my task bar has diappeared, so have my desktop icons. I hit the power button but it just hibernated my computer.

I have a dell dimension 3000 with windows xp media center addition on it and 1gb of ram. I only have pci ports available, so I was wondering if it is possible to have dual pci graphics cards? Like two geforce fx 5500's. If so, would there be a significant gain in performance when playing games?

I added a DVD drive to my computer, which is E drive now. When I try to copy somthing to the CD,(D drive), it will not let me copy? It will copy only in DVD drive.....Is that ok? Will I be able to use the same CD to add more stuff later on, like pictures & etc.? Or can I make my CD drive default for copying pictures & etc.? If so, how?
Thanks>

Is this enough memory for a computer to run all these hard drives?
It's running three hard drives
200 GB
20 GB As the main one for running windows XP
20GB
512 MB Ram Memory..
CPU: AMD Athlon XP 3200 + 2.1 GHz

Ever since I put my computer like this, it's slower....So I was wondering if I had to change the ram memory for at least 1GB? or is it something else?

I got my answer on not loosing anything on my slave drive when I replace the master. But do I attach the slave before or after I reformat the new master drive? My husband thinks he should just do the master, when everything is up and running then re-attach the slave drive. But I'm afraid the new master wont like that. Help!

I want to get a dvd/cd burner/drive for my computer, internal, I think I can install it with no probs but I really dont know anything about them. My cd burner drive is about shot so I want to replace it and upgrade to dvd. I won't use it a ton, mainly for burning pictures. I have slow dial up so downloading movies to burn is out of the question :-( I want to spend as little money as possible too! I dont need all the bells and whisles if there going to be expensive.
Any thoughts on a good drive for me? Or where I can go to get some good info on dvd drives? Thanks, I appricate any answers or help!

I'm trying to move some word files from my old computer with win 98 on it, it is not connected to the internet, and it has a cd reader only, with usb, my new computer is hooked to the internet and has win xp. I'm trying to use a SanDisk flash drive which requires a driver from the net for use with win 98. My old computer will not see the driver file on the cd.
