I've got the LCD screen off of a relatively new, but unusable HP laptop and what I was curious about was whether or not it's possible to buy any hardware/cables/adaptors to connect the laptop screen to an HDMI or DVI port of a desktop PC's video card. Let me know if it's a) possible at all...

No, there's no virus protection enabled in the BIOS. As for new updates, I've tried using an older HD on the IDE channel, instead of the SATA HD and it's coming up with the same issue. During the XP install (both Home and Pro versions), after loading all of the drivers and junk it gets to...

I'm currently building a new PC and having some trouble getting XP installed. Here is what's happening: I've got a WD 250gb SATA2 drive hooked up to the ASUS P5LD2 motherboard in the first SATA slot (which is the 3rd IDE Master as far as the BIOS is concerned). Everything fires up fine and...

Will any of the PSUs you recommended there be able to handle my system in SLI with a second 7900GT if I decide to add one on later? The Antec I selected is 520W, so I assumed it'd be fine for that, but all of the ones you recommend are much lower.

Okay. Adding a BenQ DVD Burner for $44.99 and the ASUS P5LD2 motherboard for $154.99 brings the total to $1057.89 before shipping. Are there any other Pentium D boards that are cheaper than $155 and have SLI capabilities? This was the cheapest/only ASUS one Newegg had. Edit: How about...

It's about time to build a new PC. I'm looking for something that will play newer games decently, has room to upgrade in the future, and isn't much more than $1000. Here are the parts I've got picked out from Newegg so far: Part Name Price MIR Net Case Coolermaster Centurion 532 ATX...

I've yet to have any spam get past the built-in Akismet filter on the newest version of WP. My site, however, is in no way popular and I only get a couple of spam posts per week.

I'm looking for recommendations on software to keep track of personal finances with. It doesn't have to be incredibly sophisticated, but it should be able to track income, checking accounts, savings accounts, bills, estimated expenses, etc. It doesn't really need fancy graphing functions or...

It needs to be recognized by the BIOS first before XP will be able to see it. Once it's there, the Disk Manager in XP will be able to see any unformatted/unpartitioned drives in the system. I downloaded and installed updated drivers for the mobo and flashed the BIOS last night so we'll see...

Currently I have a rig with two 80gb HDs on the first IDE channel and a DVD drive as the master on the second IDE cable. I bought a new 160gb hd and attempted to install it as the slave drive on the 2nd IDE channel, but I could not get the system to recognize that it was there (in the BIOS or in...

I own both, and although both are definitely good games, my vote would have to go to UT2k4. More game modes, more character models, more competent bots, more customizable, an innovative and functional voice chat system, ...etc. UT gives me the feeling that I got my money's worth, where BFV...

Just got home and checked. In the Tools menu for Windows Explorer go into Folder Options and hit the View tab. In there you want to make sure "Do not cache thumbnails" is checked. That should help.

I think what you're trying to say is that you're trying to view the contents of a folder with about 4 gigs of pictures in it and it's loading extremely slowly on your XP system. If this is the case, I imagine it's due to Explorer trying to load up thumbnails or other info about all of the...

UT2004 also gives you a "Field of View" setting which you can change in the game's video options to work better with the widescreen resolution.
