Last night while playing World of Warcraft I got the message "vtdisp driver has stopped working normally" and it restarted itself. Now everytime I try to log into the game my computer just restarts itself. I've been searching through forums trying to find out what to do, the only thing that I haven't tried yet is to uninstall the vtdisp driver and reinstall it. Where do I go on my computer to uninstall the driver and when I uninstall it, how do I reinstall it again? I thought when you uninstalled something, it was deleted from your computer? Please help! I don't want to f*ck up my computer but I want to play my game again!!!

Right...I've been searching for a decent web camera for my Mac to use with Yahoo Messenger, Microsoft Messenger and/or iChat. I posted a similar question a while ago and made some progress with my search but have not found the ideal solution.

Any Mac OS X users out there that use something other than iSight for web-chats please help! Logitech seemed to be the way to go (at first) but they don't have much in the way for Macs.

My PC has 256mb at the moment, so this will double my memory - except I don't know how to put it in. Someone told me you just have to unscrew the casing from the tower and there is a slot to put the memory in. Is this correct? Can anyone tell me how to do this please?

I recently got a new Sony MP3 walkman, the NW-A1000 (its all shiny and looks like the front of it is one big screen.) It looks good and the play quality isn't too bad. However the one problem I have with it is the bundled software the "Connect Player". Its rubbish, processor hungry, and very poorly designed and I very much wish to beat the person who made it to within an inch of their life. Does anyone who has had a similar experience have any ideas about another piece of software which I can use to get MP3s onto my device?

I have been trying to access my files to view saved photos. In attempting to do so I must use the desk top drive to access them. I've switched the power cords and that has not helped.
