Hey all, I was just looking for some suggestions. I want to be able to back up my important pictures and documents on a regular basis. I have a spare external hard drive that I'd like to use as the back up drive. I was wondering if anyone out there knew of a good synchronization app...

My cd R/W drive has been going crazy lately. When I try to open it up to put a new cd in, it will continually move in and out, and in and out. Varying speeds, and length of exit/entry. Eventually after 5 minutes of playing with it, it will finally slide back in and read the CD, but it is...

Yeah I am suspecting a bad hard drive too. This is the 2nd time in a month that her \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM file has failed. When I tried to replace it with an older snapshot, I kept getting failure messages, and it was never able to copy. The systems also tends to turn off by itself...

Yesterday after unsucessfully trying to fix my girlfriend's Compaq Presario 2100, I decided that it was time to format the hard drive and reinstall windows. At first I tried a quick format via the windows install cd, and that failed. So I tried the slow format. The slow format didn't give me...

Ok well heres the story. My mom was using my computer to scan in some pictures and create some kind of powerpoint presentation. Well all of a sudden when she was using the scanner, my computer froze up, and when she tried to restart, it wouldn't let her back into XP. Well after tinkering with...

Hi, I was just wondering if there were any programs that would allow me to password protect certain Windows XP folders on my HD. If anyone could refer me to a good program, or if you could tell me how to do it through Windows if possible, I would appreciate it greatly. Sincerely, -DaChiliMan

Well I'll try to put this as best as I can. Hi my question is about search engines on certain websites. I used a website called streetscape to track the data of stock & funds, etc and often times I have to go into the search to find information about account. Now this search engine can go...

Yeah so this might be real simple for you people out there, but here goes. Well I just recently upgraded my system wiht a new chip, new ram, and a new HD. Problem is my old system wasn't able to run under this so I had to install Windows onto my new hard drive and go from there. My new...

Argh, ok this problem may be really simple for some people, so I'm hoping I can get some quick help. I have a program called Messenger Plus which adds some pretty cool features to my AIM. Problem is all of a sudden today while I was using it(I have been using it for quite some time with no...

Alright I already did what the 2nd guy said. How do I completely uninstall my voodoo 3? I thought removing it would do it.

Just got a GeForce2 MX200. Installed the drivers on the CD and now there is a huge vertical black line thru center of the screen. when you mouse over this line everything gets inversed and stretched. Had a Voodoo3 before. In the display properties windows insists that there are 2 monitors. I...

I dont know if this will help, but in 1024x768 and 800x600 the huge black line appears and the screen colors get darker, but in modes like 1152x864 the screen appeared fine and there were no problems.

I tried that and it seemed to be all good at the login screen for windows. But once I logged on the screen flickered off then on and the big and wide black line was back and windows once again searched for 2 monitors bleh thx for trying though, anyone else have ne ideas?
