I have a friend who has an old Gateway computer with a Intel Atlanta AL440LX mobo. He has an Intel II with an effective clock of 64MHz running Windows 98 (it may be SE). He wants to get a little more system speed from his computer and I told him he should try to upgrade his mobo, CPU, and OS to...

I've noticed when I run Photoshop on my computer that opening other programs take a little longer and the whole system becomes sluggish. I have Winodws XP Home running on a 2.4GHz Pentium 4 with 1022MB of Kingston dual channel PC3200 RAM. I would have thought having more RAM would help this...

I have a set of Logitech X-530 5.1 surround speakers, but for some reason when I adjust the volume knob on the main speaker it doesn't do anything. The only thing that adjusts the volume is the slider in Volume Controls. I have the speakers plugged into my C-Media sound card. I would like to...

I couldn't find a WinXP Home thread, so I'm posting here. I just downloaded and installed some updates from Microsoft. I got the little yellow shield down by the clock telling me I had updates, so I clicked it and they downloaded. I restarted the computer and the POST screen just hung there...

About a year ago I bought Nero 6 Ultimate Edition online for burning DVDs for storage and converting my CD collection to mp3 format. Since then I had to reformat my computer and I lost my registration info. I have tried to contact Nero about this for almost three months now without one reply. To...

I could not find a Windows XP Home thread so I hope its ok to post this here. I use a text program called NoteTab Pro (instead of Notepad or Wordpad, neither which I can stand). Now when I want to open a text document I would like NoteTab to be the program that opens it, but I'm having trouble...

First, I'm sorry to post this here, but I could not find a Windows XP Home forum. Anyway .... I changed my user account to display my name, but when I go into Documents & Settings the folder still says Owner. How do I change this? Thanks. - dc

I have an old Dell monitor at the moment. I got it free from a friend, but its starting to get dark and strange waves are appearing in the lower right corner. I've been looking at many monitors on the Web, like the KDS 17" Flat CRT XF7X and the ViewSonic A75F 17" Monitor. I don't want to spend...

The printer I have had for the last three years (Epson Stylus Color 640) bit the big one on me recently. I had not used it for a couple weeks and I couldn't get it to print anything. Then I discovered that the small holes in the printer holder/cartridge were clogged with ink. I had some people...

I have DVD-RWs that are supposed to be ableto hold 4.7GB. Now I know you can never fit that entire amount on one, but all I seem to be able to get on them is 3.6GB. Is there a way to get more? I'm using a Lite-On SOHW-1673S with Fuji DVD-RW discs. Thanks. - dc

I have a DVD-RW disc in my Lite-On burner drive with files I've saved on it. When I open Photoshop and use the File Browser to access the psd files I have on the disc the program freezes and I have to shut down the computer and turn it back on to get control of it again. I am wondering if this...

I have Windows XP Home running on an ASUS P4P800 mobo. For some reason a couple days ago I started the computer and I got the P4P800 splash screen, but then it just stayed there for a while (maybe three minutes or more). Finally it booted to the desktop. It kept doing this every time I started...

I have a set of Logitech X-530 5.1 surround speakers hooked up to a C-Media sound card and I was wondering is it possible to get my TV sound to come out of my computer surround speakers? And if so how would I do this? I'm asking because the speakers on my TV are going out. - dc
