Currently i only have one system fan, i checked to see where and how it is connected, its connected to a 3 pin connector right next to a larger connector which is the CPU fan connector. I looked for more of the same connectors but couldn't find any so my mainboard can only have one system fan?

Anytime I put in a disk to play it, a little CD pops up next to the cursor like it's loading, but nothing happens. I think double click on the D drive icon under my computer, and I get this message: D:/ is not accessible. The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.

This is really frustrating and upsetting. Someone, please help! The trouble shooter told me it cannot solve my problem!

I recently reinstalled the operating system on my laptop, and ever since i had about 20 secods after it boots up the screen flickers, and all the images load up slowly. After that though, it is fine. It's quite annoying, as i can't use my laptop until it has finished doing it. I THINK it is my graphics card. What can I do to stop it though?

I know how to use a computer, but how does it actually work? What are the basic components of a computer that allow it to compute, store information et cetera, and what does it do to do this?

I am talking about the fundamental components of a computer such as 'circuit boards' et cetera. is that what they are called? Does it use fibreoptic cables to transfer information? et cetera.

Furthermore, what is the dofference between RAM and your processor? They both "speed up" your computer, but what is the differnece in relation to how they do it?

Every once in awhile this box shows up in the lower right hand corner of my screen at the task bar: "Virtual memory minimum too low. Windows is increasing the size of the virtual memory paging file." Then it goes on to say the pc will be working slower while this is done.

What does this mean and what is a virtual memory? Thanks very much and if you could include a link or two, I'd appreciate it.

Hi,
I'm thinking of saving a lot of my old (analogue NTSC etc...) home movies/videos to DVD or VCD for longer life. I notice that there are a lot of ways to do this now. I can play them thru my TV and record them onto my DVD recorder (DVR) or I can buy USB 2.0 devices that will save any video source direct to DVD etc...
However, I would like to be able to send copies of the DVD's/VCD's to my family in the UK to view them over there (I am in the USA). How can I know whether the format will be viewable by them on their DVD player?
I know there are regional stamps on DVD Movies you purchase so that they cannot be viewed around the world but will DVD's I make contain a stamp also? How can I set them up with no stamp so that my family can view them?

Many Thanks,

Steve

I was able to use my CD ROM and CD RW drive a couple of months ago, but when I tried to use it now, it's as if I don't have the drives. When I insert a CD, the drive where it's inserted don't appear in My Computer.

I checked in Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manger and saw my CD ROM and CD RW drive with a yellow circle with an exclamation icon beside it. When check the properties, I see the same message:

Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot find the hardware device. (Code 41)

I already tried uninstalling both drives through device manager and rebooting the PC (they reinstalled themselves) but I still see the same message in their properties.

I need to do something very important but it is hindered by this problem. Any help or idea of what's the problem about will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I just installed a new motherboard with CPU today and everything seemed to be working fine until I tried to connect my hard drive and DVD drive to the motherboard with IDE cables.
It keeps recognizing the DVD drive as the primary and then either doesnt recognize the hard drive at all or places it as a slave drive.
I've switched the IDE cables around, I put the SLAVE IDE with the DVD and vice versa with the Hard drive and even tried a different hard drive but it always comes out the same.

Then when I put in the XP installation cd it just says "Boot CD/DVD: " and won't let me type anything

How can I fix this problem?

if someone has AIM that would be a great help to walk me through it btw
