I bought a gateway pc in 2001, since then I had to reinstall all its componets, but I forgot to write down the stupid code for my word xp home edition. It kills me because no I can't use it and I don't want to spend the money to buy a new suite. I would really appreciate the generosity of someone who would share their code if they have the same product it is Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, the Word program. I may even pay a very small amount for a working one. Thanks in advance!

I have an older gateway computer, bought in 2001 and over the years I had a friend modify it with more RAM, a CD writer, new hard disk, new OS, broadband card. He even helped me transfer it to a new larger case.

The current system is: Celeron 754 MHz, 320 MB Ram, XP Professional 2002, SP2. It has a 75 MB primary hard drive and a second 9 MB hard drive (which is the original drive and is empty).

Since I uploaded thousands of digital photos and my CD collection, the computer is already exceedingly slow. And I only have about 25 MB of data on the drive!

I am considering replacing the motherboard with something better (Processor/Ram, ect.) rather than buying a new PC. I am confident I can take the old motherboard out and put a new one myself and reconnect the rest of the hardware. (I cant use my friend anymore since I moved to another state!)

My questions are, Is it worth it? Will it work with my existing hardware and O/S? Will my PC be much faster?

Thank you.

Will someone help me with this problem?? I think it has something to do with ports or port forwarding but what I'm doing isn't working, please help. Even if u can paste a site url that will help me that would be great. Thanks :)

My desktop computer died more than a year ago. The computer stays on 24/7, I can hear the hard drive spinning, but it won't let me get to any files. I must leave this computer on for DSL to work, so I can't remove the hard drive (even if I knew how, which I don't).

Here's what I've got to work with to try to retrieve the files, and I can't afford to take it somewhere to have someone work on it (plus I'm screwed if I disconnect from DSL).

I've got a notebook computer and an external hard drive. Is it possible for me to hook up to the desktop computer and copy the files over?

If so, what kind of cable would I need? Thanks so, so much!

This is crazy because it seems like it should be simple. I'm new to this Mac stuff. I received a Powerbook G4 and I know it has a Superdrive, uses OS X, and has programs like iDVD, iMovie, and even Final Cut ProHD(which I'm not THAT stupid to know this is an incredble program). But first things first. How in the hell to a create a duplicate copy of of a home DVD from a friend? I've got the blank DVD's and everything. There is just too many programs to choose from. I want to make a few copies and then later on think about editing it and creating effects that will blow them away.

I'm looking at getting a new computer, but I can't tell the difference between the processors. I don't play any high graphic games, but we do use the computer a lot for pictures from our digital camera (7 MP). I will also be using the computer to manage my music files for my iPod. I am wondering if the Pentium is worth the extra $30.

I recently purchased a Western Digital 400GB hard drive and I have a question. I was able to format it and i currently have data stored on it. However, it's the file type of the disk, “Dynamic Disk,” that concerns me. Is there any way to change it to NTFS file format? I've tried formatting it through the disk manager and Partition Magic doesn’t right click on this drive. Any suggestions. Thanks

I just bought a computer with the following specs:

Gateway 2000 E-3200 with a 200 MHz Pentium CPU, 64 MB RAM

I got it mostly for gams and stuff but can I run an internet connection off this? Would it be slow or would it be OK?

Alright so, my mom was trying to fix our Norton anti-virus...and she had to uninstall and reinstall...so she did...and when you try to start the computer back up, it tries to start and then it says "STOP: c000021a { Fatal System Error ] The session manager Initialization System Process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0x000003a (0x00000000 0x00000000). The system has been shut down" and I don't know how to fix that...but if anyone knows what I can do, try to explain it in a way that someone who knows nothing about the computer system stuff could understand...because I'm good with programs like word and everything...but when it comes to this I just don't know what I'm doing...so please help!

my emachines pc t2893 has already 512mb in one slot and their is another empty slot. My computers maximum memory is 2GB. I want to upgrade the memory but an undecided if i should buy 512mb because it is considerably cheaper or the 1GB. The reason I am considering the 1GB is because say if want to upgrade again in the future i wont be waisting any money by having to replace my newly bought 512mb with a 1GB. Do you understand what I am saying? help!!

I have tried running xcopy(for those of you know what xcopy is)in dos mode, but it says that it can't be ran under DOS, but I can't run it with Windows XP going, because some of the files are being used.
I need a program or some advice to convert and copy a FAT32 to a NTFS drive.
