My Dell Latitude D600 laptop with WinXP SP2 is always listing 4 Default Monitors under Device Manager. I can not remove these even if I uninstall them. Should these be there or some type of listing for the laptop's LCD screen? Thanks.

A curious question - why does Word 2003 open faster (almost instantaneously) on my Dell Latitude D600 laptop (1.6 GHz Pentium M processor, 512 MB RAM) compared to the PC I built, which has a 3.0 GHz P4 Prescott CPU, 1.0 GB DDR2 RAM, 120GB Hatachi SATA hard drive, and an ASUS P4P800SE Mobo? Is...

I have an ASUS P4P800SE Mobo with a Hitachi 120 GB SATA HD. The user's manual states that the SATA drive should operate up to 150 MB/s. The BIOS allows a setting of Ultra DMA Mode=5 as the max setting. This is also the same DMA Mode listed in Device Manager in WinXP. Is the DMA=5 operating at...

I am getting the following message in Windows XP, under Computer Management System Logs: "The driver has detected that device \Device\Harddisk0\DR0 has predicted that it will fail. Immediately backup your data and replace your hard disk. A failure may be imminent." This refers to my second hard...

I have recently been hearing some pops and static through my sound system on my home-built PC. It does not happen all of the time and it is sort of random. Am I dealing with a grounding problem somewhere? I have a pretty good set up speakers and a woofer connected to my Soundmax audio on the PC...

I seem to have lost the volume control icon in my system tray in the taskbar (using WinXP Pro). If I go to Control Panel, Sounds, and then check the box to show the icon in the tray, I get the message to load the volume control using Add/Remove. If go to Windows components, there is nothing...

I changed my paging file to my second hard drive and now I do not get the Blue Screen error page. However, the PC now comes out of Standby and reboots. Do you know what would be causing this? Thanks.

My new PC build has one problem with Standby. I can easily place the PC into Standby, but it will not resume. I hear three loud clicks, coming from the Hitachi SATA hard drive (I think), and then I get the Blue Screen describing a hardware error. One screen told me I had a Kernel Inpage...
