    Gateway E-295C/C-140X Replacement Battery Voltage

    I got a Gateway E-295C laptop for school and the battery is nearly completely dead. Windows no longer tells me the battery life, only the percentage of charge and that it should be replaced. Also, I used the BIOS battery recalibration and it showed a charge level of ~2400 mAh while the battery...

    Windows Media Player 11 Install Error

    I recently tried to install Windows Media Player 11 (I know that there are better players, I use VLC but it isn't even 1.0 yet). Anyways, when I run the install file, everything goes great until the actual install process. When it is installing the Windows Media Format Runtime, it will stop at a...

    O&O Boot-Time Defragmentation

    I was a Diskeeper user for a few years until I heard about O&O Defragmenting. It supposedly was better, so I tried it and I use it right now. I saw that my pagefile was fragmented, so I enabled boot-time defragmentation to defrag all of the locked files. Every time, though, the last file won't...

    AMD Athlon XP 2200+ too hot?

    My computer is not left on for a long time, but when it is, most programs become very buggy after 12+ hours. I read that a CPU overheating can cause this to happen, but I'm not really sure. On SpeedFan, my temperatures (I'm not sure which one is CPU) are under 50 C if I'm not using many...

    Where should the volume be turned up?

    I don't really know where this goes, but I'll put it here because it has to do with pc audio. I keep my speakers (Creative Itrigue 3800) as high as I want, the pc volume at very low and the program I'm using's audio levels down. My friend has his pc turned up all of the way. I think that I get...

    Windows XP Professional Reinstall + 2 Hard Drive Backup

    I just bought a new external hard drive, on which the first application is to backup my files and to reinstall my operating system (Windows XP Professional OEM). I have two questions about those procedures. The first is that I do not have the CD that we used to install Windows XP on my computer...
