    I intended to switch a Logitech "Deluxe Keyboard" with a Microsoft Internet Keyboard, both with ps/2 connections.

    Q about Encarta 2006

    I wasn't sure where to post this question, but here feels like a safe bet. I'm considering on buying Encarta 2006 for my niece's PC. However, I read somewhere that it needs to have .Net installed as well (not to mention what the reviewer considered "intrusive personal data collecting"). All I...

    CD-ROM shoots shrapnel almost on my face

    Sounds like a title of a National Enquirer article. I didn't even considered the possibility of this happening to me EVER... Alright, this is (or was) a TDK AI-CDRW241040B CD-RW drive (manufactured on 10/2001), which has worked well for years. Just a few minutes ago, after inserting a CD for...

    I have a Windows XP Pro system w/SP1 (and several pre-SP2 patches) running on a Seagate 200GB ST3200822AS SATA drive. There are to DVD burners on IDE 1 and a single (and ancient) Maxtor DiamondMax 4320 (model 91080D5, 10GB) HDD on the IDE 2 as "master." Up until ten minutes ago, WinXP could...

    Can a virus affect the motherboard?

    A week ago, I wouldn't even have considered asking such a question... A friend of mine, who is not really computer saavy, got some problems with his Win98 AthlonXP machine. Long story short: his wife took it to a tech at the university library where she works, and the tech said that there was...
