Over last few days, keys from keyboard stop working. Starting with "u", then seven, then eight, then "m" etc.... Is this a virus as no detector picks anything up?

It would not recognize my 2 disk drives and come to find out, the drives were corrupted. How did they get corrupted? I restored the computer back a few days, and they were fine again...but the moment I uninstalled Nero, they were corrupted again. Did it have to do with me uninstalling Nero? or was it just a coincidence? What I ended up doing was restoring the computer back again a few days so that the drives were working..and I reinstalled Nero, even though it was still on my computer and everything seems to be ok for the time being, but why did it corrupt my drives when I uninstalled Nero the first time???

I have a cord for cable internet I'd like to plug into my computer at home, but my computer is rather outdated and will only accept the smaller phone cord size. Is there anything I can buy that I can plug the cable line into, and have it convert into a regular phone cord to plug into my computer? If so, what is it called and where can I get one?

I have a 250GB external USB hard drive. It came formatted to the FAT32 filesystem, but I need to store files over 4GB on it. My question is, does anyone see any problem in converting the drive to the NTFS file system?

Several years ago we upgraded my family's PC from Windows ME to XP and I was able to convert the computer's C:\ drive from FAT32 to NTFS in place with the CONVERT DOS command, without losing any data. Will it work converting my external USB hard drive this way? Will it hurt anything?

Thanks.

Hi, I have a huge problem.

My computer recently always turns itself off (crashing, I think what people call it). I tried to empty the tray by the clock on the right hand corner but it still crashes after 20 minutes...it doesn't crash if the pc doesn't do anything. The weird thing is, after it shuts itself off, I can't turn it back on again by pressing the power button...

What should I do?

I have two computers that are probably ten years old. One doesn't have an OS. I was wondering if I could use parts to plug it into my new computer and use it as a external hard drive or maybe a USB flash drive type of thing. Or perhaps i could plug the whole thing into my laptop and I don't know. Have any ideas what i could do with these two computers would be great.

It is around 5 years old with a Athlon 1800 processor. I get a blue screen with a bad pool caller message and at the bottom a great long technical message. I have changed the hard disc and also the power supply unit but it is better but still not right - the cpu tempeature is 55 degress which should be fine so has anyone any ideas how I can narrow down what the problem might be, remember it seems to be worse when it is warmer?

I have deleted the file 'Display.cfg' from Flight Simulator X directory to avoid the video card warning since my video card has only 16MB of memory and the game runs successfully on my PC having 256MB of RAM. Anyone please tell me whether it is safe for my video card to run the game with higher memory requirement? Can the game damage my video card? It's S3/VIA Unichrome IGP card with DirectX supported. Actually the game requires a 32MB Video Card.
