When I open my windows task manager (ctrl+alt+del) I see that the program that is taking up the most of my memory is a program called spoolsv.exe which is being run by the system. What is this, why is it using so much ram, and how can I make it stop?

I have two internal hard drives, a 6GB (master) and a 80GB (slave). I would like to transfer all of my data and OS (windows 2000) to the 80GB and make it the master hard drive. I need the space so I can upgrade to Vista

What does it mean when you go into my computer, and try to open a cd file and it says this:

E:/is not accessible

Abort function

Also, when I try to right click on them to send them to the disc, it does not say E drive anywhere on it. I have already had this drive replaced once, as it is still under warranty. Thanks!!!

So, I was running a Microsoft Update and a box came up that said that a file would not copy and I should either check the location or type in Windows Update Server something something. Well, I typed in what it said to type and it didn't work. I didn't have another location so I tried to cancel. When I clicked cancel it said my computer might not work if I cancel. Well, after a few hours I needed to shut off the computer so I just did. Of course, when I tried to turn it back on the computer wasn't working properly. The black screen that says Windows didn't shut down properly or something came up. You know, the one that asks if you want to start it in safe mode or last known good configuration or just start windows normally? Well, no matter which one I choose, the computer never finishes booting to get me to the screen where I enter my password to actually log on to windows. It just keeps going back to that black screen that says windows didn't start properly. So what do I do?

I need to get a new graphics card, as i need to upgrade . someone told me that if i was to get a powerful graphic card like a Geforce 512MB or 256MB that it could melt something ( cant remember what :/ )
so he advised me to stay with 128MB, i dont know if its true though =)
what card would you recommend me to get if i need a 128MB one?

Okay, I've narrowed my laptop search to two. Which one is better? I write, I use the internet, I watch movies, I travel a lot so it has to be durable, I play games, and I listen to music. I love the tablet, they're both the same amount, and I can get the Asus in pink (I think). Here are the links

I am trying to get pictures from my kodak easyshare onto my website, but the only access I have to the internet is at work, and the computer does not allow me to install software, since I am not an administrator. Is there any way to get the pictures from my memory card to the computer without installing software?

I just purchased a Microsoft Wireless Comfort Keyboard 1.0A. I enjoy working with it directly in my lap. Unlike a laptop computer it doesn't get hot and isn't heavy.

But my question is, does it give off radiation? (which could possibly damage my fertility etc.)

An answer from someone with a technical background, who understands radiation, would be great but any knowledgeable answer is appreciated.

Thanks!

Lately my computer has been running VERY slow and I noticed I barely have any space left on my internal hard drive.

I would like to go out and buy an external HD to move some of my games, photoshop, etc. onto to free up some space on my computers internal HD.

Will I be able to run these programs (photoshops, Dreamweaver, etc) off of my EXTERNAL HD...just like I can on my internal?

Anything I am missing? THANKS!
