Here's the deal. I am trying to back up all data on all (about 6) workstations of the company(it is a landscaping company). They do not have a server. Each computer has different files to backup. One has project diagrams where we do the designs, one has all customer information stored, one has employee information etc... The company has about 2000 customers. What would be the best way to backup all of this data?

I recently download foxfire (something like that) to do my kodak picture. Ever since then my pc seems to be doing something odd where its saving things and just running space. How can I tell if there was a program downloaded triggering this or what can I do to check if there are files I can delete?

I've got an E6550 core 2 duo processor and 7600GS-512 MB but when I try to play some games as: DiRT, Crysis etc my pc suddenly gets slow, my friend told me that an overclock implementation can improve the performances but I don't know if I should do that or maybe some hardware could be the source of that problem so what can I do to make my pc fly while playing a game?
PS: i don't have a computer virus

My computer is a Compaq. The sound does not work, and the moving images (such as on U-Tube) freeze and don't move. I have been told I need a new sound card, but a tech I know put one in, and the USB ports stopped working, so I had him remove it.

Also, I'm sure I have many things loaded and running that are unnecessary, but I'm not sure how to eliminate them without eliminating essential things!

I have DSL, so it's pretty fast, but I want sound, and I want moving images.

My keyboard, mouse & monitor are just fine. The USB ports work well now, so I have a printer and can upload my photographs.

I wonder if I should just buy a new CPU and start over. If so, what kind do people recommend?
I've had HP in the past. Also, about how much would one cost if that's all I purchase? I've only purchased entire systems in the past.

Thanks for any ideas.

So at the mo my eMachines 170 is 5 years old and is very, very slow. It takes 20 minutes to boot up when you first switch it on. I have done alot of defragmenting and disc clean ups, I have unchecked all unnessasary files in "msconfig" and . I have also removed all unessasary large files and stuck them on a 500gb ext hard drive. The PC is still slow so I need it to run faster and such before I can install my new DVD burner, also i was told the reason my windows movie maker files wont save is cause I dont have enough RAM. Will adding more memory greatly improve the speed of my PC? Also what specs do I need to determine what type of RAM I need?

I am trying to install Linux on a computer I cobbled together, but the CD-ROM refuses to boot. I have swapped CD-ROM drives, so the issue is not the drive itself. At present the drive is set to cable select and it's cable is in the motherboard's #1 IDE slot. The boot order is set to CD, A, C in the BIOS. Any suggestions?

When shopping for a PC I usually see all these tips that include looking for a specific number of RAMS, a level of a processor and just thngs I don't really understand. Without shelling money out for a thick manual book I'll never read, could someone just ive me an over view of what's important?
If there is a website that explains it, could you link me?

The battery on my laptop is totally DOA after just two years, apparently because I hadn't been letting it run totally out of power before recharging it to full power, but it got me to thinking, are there any solar-powered adapters that would work for laptops, or would my laptop require so much power to make the idea of a solar-powered adapter out of the question?

For the record, I've got a Compaq Presario M2000. I've had it a little over two years. Are newer laptop models much more efficient in terms of power usage or demand?
