I just bought a new HP a6200n desktop computer last week and I don't like Vista? Is it possible to switch to XP on it? Do I need drivers for XP or something? I looked on HP's website and they didn't have XP drivers listed for the a6200n. I don't want to mess up my new computer by doing it wrong, so can someone please help me? Thanx.

I'm wanting to build a very decent HTPC but i dont have the money to buy it all at once. Like in 2 weeks i can buy the memory the motherboard and the sound card. 2 weeks later i can buy the graphics card and the processor...2 weeks later....so on and so fourth. I want to watch it build in front of my eyes. But i was wondering....what if a part does not work? I have to wait for all the parts to come to put it together so i wont find out for months if a part is bad.....what about the return policy? Most places have a 30 days return poloicy.....what do you think?

So yesterday i was using my PC and playing online and my screen froze. i tried ctrl alt del to get the task manager to comeup and nothing happened, so i pushed the manual reset button, then it would not reload, nothing except the powering on of my fans and hard drives, no bios, no video card info nadda, so i tested everything i had that could cause the problem, except the mobo and processor cause i didnt have other to use to test, so i bought a processor, its just an old socket 370 PIII, and replaced it and now it works great. So my question is, is that what happens when a processor goes out, or is there any other issues i need to investigate to ensure it does't happen again. And i dont need to hear, time to upgrade, cause i know and when i have money i will. Any other input is appreciated, thank you.

Whenever I try to open something in Adobe Reader, it won't open and I have to Ctrl Alt Delete to get it unstuck. The Adobe box opens but after that, it is stuck. I have tried removing it and reinstalling it and it does the same thing.

Second, my CD burner will play but not burn. I bought a disc cleaner and ran it through but it didn't cure the problem.

Help?

I'm having a problem with my computer. It has an extremely small hard drive (just 18.6 GB, insteadof something like 60 or 100 GB) and it only has 160 MB of space left. I've been uninstalling programs and deleting files like crazy, but still the free space keeps decreasing. Is this the work of a virus? What should I do?

If it helps at all, my computer is a 5 year old IBM Thinkpad.

PLEASE HELP ME. I don't know what's wrong with my machine.

Have an eMachines S2482. Dead - no power, pulled out the supply, definitely toast. Replaced with a 500w. Still won't come on. The new PS fan will not come on either. From reading answers, I gather the next step is the motherboard. My question - if we replace the MB, will I need to reinstall the OS, and will the recovery CD's do this? Thanks!!!

My speakers are Monsoon (2) with a subwoofer. They've always worked well. Now the subwoofer suddenly started making a loud windy noise all the time. At first I thought it was an airplane flying over. Even with the bass turned all the way down, the noise is there. The sound has never been turned up very far, so it's not been "blown." Is there a way to fix this or do I have to buy a new set of speakers? These are about 2 years old.

I'm ordering a new gaming computer, and there are 3 options for memory: "Major Brand" (they don't specify the manufacturer), Corsair XMS2, and Mushkin Extreme. XMS2 costs $50 more than Major Brand, and Mushkin Extreme costs $60 more than Major Brand. All 3 brands are DDR2-800, so there is no difference in speed. I'm not planning on doing any overclocking, so it doesn't make me any difference which brand overclocks the best. Would there be any difference in performance if I got the "Major Brand" instead of spending 50 or 60 bucks more on the XMS2 or Mushkin Extreme?
