    so its time to upgrade!

    Not quite that random. If you have a camcorder, you'll need firewire in which case you'll likely want a board with onboard firewire given at most you now get 3 PCI slots.

    hard drive question

    Easier way to do what? Once you verified all the files you want are on the 2nd drive, just highlight them, Right Click and Delete them. It sounds like you did a copy/paste rather than cut/paste which is why they're still on your C drive. On the other hand, copy/paste and then delete the...

    What is your budget and how will you use the machine? Will you seriously overclock? Do you have a camcorder?

    Unable to send emails through Thunderbird

    Pretty certain it's the Outgoing Address (SMPT) settings under Account Settings. I'd suggest you go to the Support Section of your ISP and see what the SMPT is supposed to be. Most of the time it's smtp-server. and it's what follows the . that seems to vary from ISP to ISP. You could also...

    I'm getting the message that the Network Cable is Unplugged on one of my computes. I get this on both my wireless adapter and and the On Board even when the on board is wired. It's not my router, 3 other computers are connected with no problems, i.e., can connect to the Net as well as with...

    First Build - BSOD

    I just ran into this problem and it was a bad CPU. Before I'd send the CPU back, I'd pull everything out including the mobo, male sure all the standoffs are in and there are none in you don't need, then hook up the video card with the mbo out of the case. Then put he mobo in and check one item...

    Hard drive won't allow boot ...

    If you haven't done so, download the diagnostic/repair software from the hd web site. Put the software onto a Floppy, put the drive into the computer and boot to the Floopy. If you can't fix the problem, you should at least find out what's going on and reformat the drive, which often fixes...

    What if GOP has very high turnout and still loses?

    Win or lose the GOP moderates are likely to gain significant power within the Party. If you look at specific races for both federal and state, your seeing a lot of politicians that pander to the right (evangelicals, social conservatives), e.g., Ken Blackwell running for Ohio governor, are...

    any way to password protect a specific folder

    I think most compression software like winzip will let you password protect the zipped file, of course you'd have to delete the noncompressed file.

    Burning program that will burn a large variety of file types?

    You might want to check out a program like Virtual Dub that converts vdeo files to avi files, which most programs can then burn. I've used it for vdeo but not audio files, which it will also convert. It's free

    need to know whats the best anti-PORN software to keep kids away from it.

    A number of years ago a friend of mine caught her 12 or 13 year old daughter going to porn sites. So she says to the kid, I understand your curious about this stuff and I remember when I was your age. So if you want to look at porn, we'll do it together. Kid totally flipped and said emphatic...

    HP XH365 Notebook - no boot

    If it's under warranty, I'd send it back otherwise you'll likely have to take it to a shop that specialize working on laptops. Other than memory and hard drives, I would mess with a laptop unless you really know what you're doing

    Which 939 MOBO

    I have a AMD dual core 4200 and need a mobo. I don't play games, will not use SLI, and no overclocking. Do light video and photo editing but no games. In about 2 years I plan on building a new machine spending about $1000. This one will be eventually used as an office machine. I'm not sure...

    Shoulder Surgery

    Absoutely the most important thing will be the physical therapy especially getting back your range of motion and you need to start on this as soon as your doctor tells you to start. PT is boring, painful, and a general pain in the a** but if you can back your ROM, you'll likely be fine.

    Car question (YACT)

    Generally Japaneese cars are far more reliable and better screwed together, e.g., won't rattle nearly as much as the miles accumulate. Mazda, Nissan, Subaru don't hold their value like Toyotas and Hondas so while there so you don't see the a pricing permium. Something like a small Subaru wagon...

    People looking for jobs: BRUSH YOUR TEETH!

    I wouldn't tell the applicants. What I'd do is schedule an appointment with the placement department, someone from the foriegn student office, and any other department dealing with helping students. Then just tell them that there are a lot of applicants that do not present themselves well and...

    What's the difference between normalizing relations with North Korea and our normalization with China?

    Because this administration has devided the world into good guys and bad guys recognizing that some countries are gooder, their word, that others. As long as you're not too defiant, a country can get on the good guy list and we'll talk to you. Problem with not talking to the "bad guys" is that...

    Privatized welfare

    Ohio has privatized a portion of their workers compensation, which is a state monopoly, i.e., if you?re not a self-insured employer you must buy you workers compensation insurance from the Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation (BWC). About 8 ? 10 years ago they privatized the medical management...

    What do you do when partition magic messes up?

    Just use Disk Manager to to format it. Be sure to disconnect the old hdd before you install the new one, otherwise you might end up with the OS on a drive other than C. Like I said be sure to set up the drive with the OS as the 1st boot drive in the BIOS and it should work. I'm not positive...

    What do you do when partition magic messes up?

    This has happened to me a couple of times over the years, usually because I did something stuped. I found 2 ways to take care of it. One to get the hdd mfg software for setting up the drive and boot it from the Floppy and format the drive. Of course you'll lose everything. The last time...

    Just replaced a Netgear 624 that was about a year old with a Zyxel x 550. It started radomly disconneting from the itnernet. Now no more problems. If it's not to late, you may want to take the Netgear back and get something else.

    Of course the first thing they'll do is recycle the modem because that's what they always do. :) Actually, I think Road Runner support is pretty good

    Internet ARRGGHH!!!

    Check you LAN in Device Manager. If you haven't done so, recycle your modem. Unplug it for a few minutes and turn off the computer. If you have a router, unplug it as well. Plug in the modem and wait a couple of minutes then if you have a router, plug it in and wait a few minutes. Then turn...
