I bought a dell 700m in Dec 2005.

My hard drive recently failed and my boyfriend took it to fix it but he lost it.

Now I don't know what kind of hard drive to buy and replace!! I tried a ATA-6 but that didn't work. I tried an Ultra ATA100 but that didn't work either.

Do I have to buy it from Dell? They don't have any on their website.

Please help i really need my laptop to work!!!

I need some help -- the cup holder on my computer is broken -- it was so handy having it there -- kept me from accidently spilling on my desk and everything. It's below the place where I put in my disc for the computer to read - in fact, it looks almost the same.

I am currently using a "Siemens DSL Modem Model 4100B",

http://store.att.com/catalog/productdetails.asp?ProductId=12AR%2D4101%2D506&CategoryId=catMRG&show=Features

but the on/off button is getting loose, I have to stick a toothpick by the button in order to keep it on.

att sells it for $49, I wonder if i can go to any computer store to buy a similiar one? if so, what kind should I get? i am totally clueless

can anyone explain to me why a E6700 which is a 2.66ghz with bus speed of 1066mhz costs nearly double the E6750 which is also a 2.66ghz but has a much faster bus speed of 1333mhz?
This is confusing me enormously, the only difference i can see is some different instructions.

Hiya.

I had my computer completely restored to factory settings. Well on the screen absolutly everything is much larger than it used to be, icons on the wallpaper and all webpages. I think its very simple to make it smaller but i cant find how. I have a Packard Bell and use Windows XP if that helps.

Also for people who have Windows Live Messenger its really wierd. I had an add-on you know the ones where your display name can be changed colour by entering codes like [C=6] i dont know where to download one. Can anyone reccomend me where to download it and what one to download.

Help Appreciated, thank you! x :D

I have:
Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E4300 (1.8GHz, 800 FSB)
3GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz- 2DIMMs
nvidia GeForce 7300 LE
Intel® 965 Express

I really need to upgrade the video card. I have a PCI-E slot. My goal on this upgrade is to have the whole computer become obsolete at the same time, in time for my next upgrade. This move should hold me for about another year. Which card would I need to get? give me list...

Any reason to spend the extra $100 on a quad core? I have not read any reviews that show the advantage for a quad core.



The only real reason for a quad core would be gaming programs that have not been created yet to take advantage of the advanced mutli-threading.



The 6750 with 1333 fsb look pretty sweet. Don't see any real reasons why to go for the quad core except for the 8 mb L2 cache. I have actualy read reviews where the quad core slowed down the computer since they quad cores sometimes have to write to the HD to multi-task!

Every single evening, broadband disappears, a couple of older crt tv's develop a slowly scrolling line and odd noises are heard on some of the house appliances. Every morning the problem goes away. This seems to be around the time of street lights switching on and off - it's as if the lights are somehow affecting the power lines and the broadband. The phone works fine.
We have tried new filters, wired and wireless modems, had the electrics checked, used laptops and desktops and tried a laptop with the house power completely switched off.
All this started last April and everything was fine for years before this. Nothing has changed in the house and nothing comes on or off in the house at the times of the problem.
Does anyone know how power and broadband can be affected by street lights - and is there a solution?
thanks
