i bought a low end video card new, cause my old 128 All Inwonder fried itself.
Bought the card XFX GeForce 6200 Video Card - 128MB Brand New I know its no super card, but it's for my old dell 8250 (4 years old). so i install it and i notice i can no longer play DVD's (even with Win Media Player) or any other program for that matter.
So i go to the xfx site and they tell me i need to buy the software, i explained i just bought a new card and asked "It Doesn't it come with it? and they said no. I said, "Doesn't almost anyone who buys this card need it?" and they said yes, and the platinum version only costs $49.95.. 19.95 for the basic. does anyone else think this is a rip off? even a scam?

Secondly does anyone have a work around for this problem?

I have IBM Thinkpad Laptop (more specific IBM T60). It has inbuilt
bluetooth. I am looking for a wireless headset so that I can use it
for talking and listening. I currently use a normal headset with mic
connected by cable to the USB port on my laptop.
I am not sure whether bluetooth headset (like Nokia, Motorola etc )
are compatible or not. To solve this problem I need if someone can
answer the following things:-

1. First of all is it possible or not to connect bluetooth headset to
bluetooth IBM laptop
2. If yes then which bluetooth head set to buy. (something in nokia preferable)
3. Instruction on how to configure and get started. (dont need to be
very specific, just getting started with configuration.)
4. Will I need any specific drivers etc.

Hi,
I was trying to install a PCI card (firewire) and it didn't work properly on my old dimension 4500 desktop. The device manager was showing the yellow exclamation mark on the firewire card (as if it didn't find the drivers etc).
However, when I switched the PCI ports, everything went fine. Then I tried other cards, and they too behaved similarly (didn't work on that particular port).
Apart from replacing the motherboard, what other solutions are there to fix this problem?

Thanks.

Is GeForce 7300GT a good video card? I had it since last yr December but haven't really use it because I'm not an experienced gamer. I just play sports game and some FPS games, sometimes strategy game. Mostly EA games. Well, i had a limited budget, should I change it or it is good enough for now? Lifespan of the card? 2 more years?

*thanks alot

I wanted to upgrade my pc, it's currently 3 yrs old, Pentium IV 3Ghz, 1GB DDR ram, 80GB hard disk, SAMSUNG cdrw/dvd combo drvie, 256mb GeForce 7300 GT.

These are the general info, in which area should I improvise? Is the graphic card not good enough for gaming? I changed it last year but haven't really try on other games besides FIFA07 and PES. The higher the resolution I put, the pc will kinda lag. How come? Is it the memory too low? How much is the 1GB ram and dvd burner? Any ideas to improve the current settings? I wanted that kind of pc which works well in all the pc games! Does the motherboard plays any role in gaming?

HELP ANYONE? ">

*thanks

My mother board (which I am NOT replacing) is only rated, (and only works) with 350 watts or less. How do I use a 400 watt video card with this system. I am willing to buy anything, cost is not a concern, but I would like to keep it as low as possible. No I will not buy a new computer. PLEASE keep the computer jargon to a minimum, it gets kind of annoying.

Could anyone help me?

I have an HP 7570n media center computer and I want to add a second internal hard drive. I have never done this before but I think I can hook it up and get it working ok. My question is how do I mount an new hard drive inside my computer? Do new hard drives come with screws and brackets to bolt them down solid? What it a good drive to buy? Is there way to look up and make sure a new drive will work with my model of computer? I heard some models of computers will not support some of the larger hard drives out there, is this true? If possible I would like to find a 500GB or larger drive.

Thanks for any comments
