My computer's max memory capacity is 256, and the hardrive i currently have now is 30gb. If i upgrade to a bigger hardrive will i be able to upgrade the memory to 512 or will it always stay at 256 max since it is the computer's max ability? I have windows Me.

I have had a 95 desktop for a long time. It was upgraded to 98 in teh past with a cd, and it's decent, it's been ok. It crashes on occasion and videos suck, also I got a new webcam that can't work on it, (it's missing a lot of internal files) I can't even get the new yahoo messenger because of it. Although it's not state of the art, it works.

I am looking at a computer on a website to buy, it's about 514 dollars and has about ten times the harddrive space, but I would hate to spend a lot of money for an all new computer, keyboard and all when there are components in my current one that are still ok. I would hate the thought of just junking that current computer, I want to make the best use of the good parts still in my computer and possibly transfer them to a new one so I don't have to buy as much, does anyone know how I go about that? I don't know how to build computers.

I've got my dads PC that is infected with virueses etc and has been running slow for ages now. I've taken everything off that he needs and am ready to create a new partition and reload everything back on. But when i boot from a XP Home CD I have (I'll be using the Genuine XP Key on the case), it starts analysing hardware but then just reboots, asking me to press any key t boot from CD again?? Whats going on? I've even tried a freshly formatted (in NTFS) HD in there, in case the original is currupted in some way but this time an error appears before rebooting stating "NTCongif" is missing. Any help or suggestions appreciated. before you ask the compnay that my Dad got this PC off did not give him any CD's.... not even the OS CD. I'm not too bothered about this because most drivers etc can be downloaded from packard bells site. The PC in question is.... http://support.packardbell.com/uk/item/index.php?pn=P480402601&g=2000

I have a Dell Pentium 4 I bought in 2002 - I have to run the standard Microsoft Office suite and other programs like SPSS, which is a memory hog. I also want to surf the web without having to wait a day for the pages to come up. I'm open for suggestions on fixing the existing computer (preferable) or buying something fast but inexpensive. What do you think?

If I plug the Ipod in to charge it wont let me stay online. Its like only 1 USB port can operate at a time. Any Ideas why? Also my connection is DSL if that helps. Also its not only the Ipod...anything that must go in the other USB port causes this problem.

I had a bagillion bookmarks and they all dissappeared, plus my home page is set back to default. Is there any way I can find my bookmarks on my hard drive?

This happened after I shut my power off during a thunderstorm. Lightning nearly hit the house and I didn't want a power surge to destroy my comp so I just shut the power strip off.

I had Windows 2000 and then we installed Windows XP on my computer. After Windows XP was installed I no longer had sound working on my computer--which sucks!! I went to the Device Manager and next to the C-Media AC97 Audio Device theres a yellow (!). I tried using the troubleshooter and that didn't get me anywhere. I also tried uninstalling the device and the reinstalling it but the C-Media AC97 Audio Device still has the yellow (!) and still says - Device cannot start (Code 10). The only sound my computer makes is a beep when an alert message comes up or when I press the lock keys (caps,num,scroll). I reaaaaaaaaally want sound back on my computer!!!!!!!! Anyone know how to FIX this!!!????
(also I don't have the brand name of my computer- it was put together my other computer parts)

My computer at work has no sufficient admin privileges so I can't install softwares. IT needs to reformat it last time so my person files and applications were removed from the system.

Previously, I copied a bat file used by one IT to install and I just modified it. but now its no longer working.

Is there a way?
