Desktops - November 2006

Basically, I gave it to my dad to give to my uncle. My dad dropped it in a mud puddle. They dried it off, aired it out, then installed it. Now, the second hard drive isnt registering, its running in safe mode, its only registering 128mb ram, the DSL is running at slower then dialup speeds, no help or error logs are working, took forever to load anything, the drives show nothing but a couple things on there, (Basically his business and all the documents are gone.) So, what does he do? Is it the ram because it got wet and hurt things? Or, is something they did when they put the ram in?

I own a Sony Vaio VGC R series. (ra710g to be exact). I have this computer for about a year and half. It's still a great computer. But I have noticed that it's been running slow and sometimes stalling. I Disk Fragment often, and I also own a Buffalo 360GB external hard drive. That's almost full. My internal is holds 250, but I'm only using about 20Gigs of that space or less. If I buy more memory will that help?

Okay, so I understand the different types are based on your processor. I have looked everywhere on my computer, and even my computer manufacturer's website, and nothing says clearly if I have a 32 bit processor or a 64 bit processor.

I'm using an Intel Pentium 4 Processor 3E GHz with 1MB L2 Cahe and HT Technology (Hyper-Threading Technology)

It's a Sony VAIO running Windows XP Home. It's only about a year and a half old, which I guess is pretty old when it comes to electronics. :O)

Because my computer does not say it anywhere, not even in the control panel, when you choose System, and goto the General Info tab, nothing says 64 bit, I'm assuming it's a plain 32 bit.

Let me know if I should check someplace else, or assume it's a 32 bit.

Thanks a ton!~

I JUST got this yesterday (Presario SR2027X), and after turning off my machine, it pops up with the screen "Windows did not shut down successfully." (Even though I went to START, shut down, etc.) Then, when I go to "start Windows normally", it goes right back to that same page. So, then I go to "start in last known configuration" and my desktop pops up with the icons and start button, only to have them disappear after a few seconds. What is causing this and how do I fix it? PLEASE help!
