Other - Hardware - December 2006

I have this old computer that I'm trying to get up and running for my foster kids. Its a Packard Bell a-940-twr. Only problem I'm having is I'm missing the Power Cord that goes from the CPU Tower to the electrical outlet (thick black cord with 3 prong plug at one end and rounded type triagular piece at the other end. Sorry thats the only way i can describe it. Any one know the official name for it and so I can go to Best Buy or something and ask for it? Thanks

I need a new graphics card for my computer, and I was looking at some. I read somewhere that not all graphics cards work with all computers; how do I know if a potential match will work on my computer?

Here's the thing: A program that I was downloading had complications towards the end, so it did not download completely. Thus, some files have already been transfered to my c:/ drive. But the thing is, the program is not usable. It is not in my programs list, nor is it on my add/delete programs list from the control panel. Could I go into my c:/ drive and simply pick the corrupt folder and delete it?

I've been told never to do this, as it will cause problems, but I see no other way of uninstalling it properly since it was never installed properly. Is there some other procedure to take on deleting the files?

I am not sure where i've went wrong... I've bought a lovely new 300gb hard drive, and went to install it into my system, replacing my older 80 gb hard drive. On opening the system, however, I discovered that the hard drive already in the pc was connected with a narrow flat cable, unlike the normal wide flat ones i've seen.... (I didnt install this, a local pc shop did) Is this IDE? Anyway... I have used Norton Ghost to clone my old smaller hard drive to my new larger hard drive, and all seemed well until i removed the older hard drive, set the new one to "master" (by moving the jumper, is this correct and complete?) and tried to boot up... it wouldnt boot and wanted a cd to boot from....

This is my second attempt at this, the first time worked fine on my friends pc, but this one is not playing ball at all... Is it because of the IDE? How can I rectify this, please?

Many thanks in advance, I know many of you are far more intelligent than me...lol xxx
