I have a friend who wants me to network his two computers (laptop and a desk top)together for him since I am an IT Student, but I don't have a lot of experience with XP as for as networking. I am running Xp Home at home, but no network. He wants to skip the router or switch and just connect...

Thank you very much. I am a new-B can you tell?

Thanks darkameba for the suggestion, I was really wanting a Audigy2, but was unsure if it would be that much better than the original (for the $30 extra)?

I am really looking to improve the sound quality that came with this MOBO: Shuttle. Should I go with better than I suggested or will this do for basic gaming?

These two sound cards are in my price range and I was wondering if the retail version is worth my while: Retail Sound Blaster Audigy or OEM Sound Blaster Audigy. They look the same to me, but am I overlooking something? Is there anything I need to know if I get the OEM?

I am reinstalling the OS (Windows 98) on my father-in-law's computer. Right now I am at school and I don't recall all the specs, but here is the link to them: Compaq Presario 5722

I have been chatting with Compaq Tech support for a couple of days now and I have finally found out why I can't reinstall my OS. The hard drive is faulty (ran DFT and came back with error "code 0x70"). The tech told me I would have to get a new hard drive, but I must get the same type of Hard...

No software came with the DVD-RW, but I would like to be able to play videos on it. Where can I get a DVD player (and burner software) preferably free? I would settle for a good quality cheap one.LOL. OR, would it be wise to spend the money and get a good one? Do they have any DVD burner...

anyone ever have this happen?

I just set up a new system, but I used my old hard drive with XP Home already installed. When I turn it on it runs a system check and recognizes my Hard drive, DVD burner, and floppy, but when I select to "Start Windows Normaly" it starts to load (because I see the "Windows" screen for a split...

I went to best buy today and I notice that on the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro there is a rebate for $50.00 which makes it come to a total of 179.99 + Tax. I was planning on buying a ATI Radeon 9600XT for 199.99 so would the 9800 Pro be a better deal. The only problem is the rebate is only available...

I found the screws!!! They were in a tiny compartment behind the case, but everything else was in the case. Thanks anyways. BTW, my older computer had a side mount hard drive case with only one screw and the floppy drive was also only held by one screw.
