And it refuses to burn dvds. It keeps saying at the end of burning a dvd that it was scratched or inferior. When it was a brand new blank dvd? Its peeing me off. So I figure I'll go buy 50 of the expensive dvds. And watch it do it again

I purchased this light https://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/pcmods/5b60/ that is powered from a PC power supply via 4pin molex, but I just wanted to plug the light directly into the wall. I didnt realize it was powered thru the PC when I bought it.

What is the difference between the Pentium E6420, E6550 or E6850, etc?

Why is it so many manufacturers are still using E6420? Isn't it outdated by now?

Is there any specifics in each Pentium that I should take note of?

I currently use windows XP and wish to wipe everything and start again using windows XP pro. I'm reformatting because my computer is quite buggered with me not being able to download anything or install anything with somesort of error. I also have a virus and windows XP pro would be a nice update.

When putting in the windows XP pro CD it tells me that my current version of windows is newer than the CD and it wont install. I've deleted the update thing (i think its called SG2?) in my control panel -> add/remove programs but that didn't work.

I tried right clicking my C drive and hitting format but there are always programs running, even when I tried it in safe mode. Shutting them down does nothing.

I've tried setting my computer (in BIOS) to start up from the disk but it doesn't work.

I'm SOL and don't know what to do next. Help is appreciated.

I have a dell pc and im not really sure of the exact model that it is but if it gives you a better idea, it has no floppy disk drive or dvd rom. Just a plain ol' cd drive only.

Anyways, i had to restart it and when it came back the desktop icons were completley gone....even the start button. Just a blank wallpaper!!!

I tried to right click and nothing....i tried control alt delete and the only responce i get is a box saying the task manager has been disabled by administrator.

I must have restarted it with the button on the tower a dozen times and still they are not there.

Someone told me to start it in safe mode and choose the option that restores it back to its last working point, or something like that but before i could someone else told me that doing so will crash my computer permanently.

Does anyone know the truth of this? Is that so? If that IS true, then how do i fix this so i can have my pc back once more?
Without my pc buisiness to run i am SUNK!
PLEASE HELP!!

Firstly, please forgive my lack of knowledge about technology. I have seen people carrying around a tiny little 'key looking' thing that they plug into their USB ports. Apparently they allow you to transfer information from computer to computer, what are these things called? My mom is a writer and wants one for her bday but I can't look for them if I don't know what they're called. :) Also any websites where they're sold would be very appreciated!! Thanks!!

The computer will be used mainly for word processing, some spreadsheets, taxes, internet, foreign language software, and occasional games for our small daughter. I'd like to have the computer for at least a few years.

I'd like a computer that can do some video stuff--basic stuff. I'd also like to start saving lots of music to the computer, which I haven't on my 2000 Windows ME destop (I know, I know...)

So, first question--Based on the above, PC, Apple, or it doesn't matter?

First question--If PC, is there really any choice of OS, or is Vista all that's out there now?

Second question--Minimum chip speed, hard drive, type of burner, monitor screen size (I'm tossing the old 14" that's been with the current computer). The more info, the better. (Graphics and sound suggestions are helpful too if you have some off the top of your head.)

Third question--Any guess as to $$$ for your recommendation?

Thanks for any recommendations and information.
