needs cleaned. It will just all-of-a-sudden jump to the other side of the screen. Also, the page will jump to the bottom like I hit the "end" key. Sometimes it only goes about half way like I hit the "Page Down" key. Please advise.

Using a standard, cheap microphone that came with a PC, plugged into the microphone socket. It records sound, but very quietly. Would it record sound better if a better microphone was used?

I am planning to transfer all the stuff from my desktop to a laptop. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Can it appear as exactly as it is on my desktop as I have different sections on my pc, some private and some for general people.

After transfering my stuff I intend to sell the computer, how do i erase all my stuff from the hard drive so that things I have done on my computer cannot be accessible - like personal details.

Thank you

I have a Lite-on DVDRW_SOHW-1693S burner. It worked perfectly for 1 year. Now, it suddently started showing files of the first session burned on the disk (Multiseesion data DVD)[used Nero 7 Burning ROM]. I tried opening the same disk on another person's computer (with another DVD burner) and it showed all files from all sessions. My DVD Writer used to read all the seesions before but suddently stopped and displays only the first session. How do I reset the DVD burner to original settings/ fix the problem some other way(without using ISObuster)?

I have a computer that I've been borrowing on a long-term basis, but will soon have to return it. So I got a (Maxtor 200GB) External Hard Drive this Christmas, hoping to copy EVERYTHING, including the operating system, off of the three separate drives in this computer.
But I'm not really sure that it's possible, or how I would go about doing it -if it is-, OR whether it will even be useable--off someone else's PC, or off the PC or laptop that I eventually will get.
I also know that, because I've been engaging in trial and error learning and customization on this 'loaner,' that I've probably got a lot of worthless, repeated, and maybe even bad files (no viruses tho...2 free apps keep me safe there, I hope)!!
What to do? Where to start?
Does anybody know FOR SURE?

My DVD drive in my pc loads game dvd's, installs them and plays them perfectley well. But when i try to load a DVD movie it doesn't work, i have tried multiple DVD's none work but they do work on the DVD Player on my TV.

When i try to play a DVD through Windows Media Player I get the message "Windows Media Player cannot play DVD video. You might need to adjust your windows display settings...(tells how to)"
I have tried this, changing resoloution, bit depth, nothing works, my standard is 1280x1024 32bit. (I am using WMP 11)

When i try to play it through Real Player I get a completley different response of "The DVD cannot be played. Key exchange for DVD copy protection failed."


Please help me I have tried alternative media players (well, winamp...) and I am about to try PowerDVD. I have made sure that i have the right codecs for playing the movies aswell.

I want to keep my PC on through the night to finish downloading some files. But my parents keep on saying that a power shortage might happen and catch the house on fire. Is it safe and is it harmful for the computer if I don't turn it off for a long time?
