    Specifications of RAM

    Yah, DDR2, from link: Incidentally, when you buy the RAM it may not say the speed in MHz, but instead just say the 'module name/type', these are the corresponding ones: needless to say, the higher the Mhz you buy the quicker it will be, however the most expensive also.

    Windows Media Player 11 Help

    Hi vista18dc hmm, seems like the WMP files are wrong or corrupted or something. If you were running a different OS i would say reinstall WMP 11 but with vista i'm pretty sure you can't as its integrated as part of the OS and not as a standalone install. For that reason i'd suggest using system...

    Could I do this?

    Torrents are legal, as is downloading a free OS using them. using torrents to download copyright protected material is what is illegal, the actual process of torrenting is perfectly legal. And for the ubuntu ISO, its only 685MB so will fit on a 700MB CD fine. I have one lying next to me lol ;)

    Sound volume is locked - what can I do? Please help!

    Yes, i agree. Also, I assume you have tried rebooting normally and it hasnt fixed it? If you have a multimedia keyboard or the like, drivers have been known to conflict, worth trying another keyboard or multimedia device if the problem persist after reinstalling drivers. ;)

    Could I do this?

    Hi Des_Zac surely we are straying off the issue. lol Anyway. As its ubuntu you can run it as a live CD if you wish. By the sound of your original post, that would be sort of what you were trying to do. Not really understanding what you want to do really though, if you just want a new...

    compression software?

    Unless you have recorded raw footage, the video file types are normally heavily compressed anyway. With any program you would most likely get the same result as compressing Mp3s and the like, basically no compression at all. If quality isnt a huge issue, depending on what format you have...

    Motherboard compatibility question

    Ignoring, for a second, the fact that he said he has an E4700 (becuase it was only mentioned after your post), unless i'm missing something, the original said its socket mPGA478, and the new one is socket 478, which AFAIK are the same thing. What did you mean wouldn't fit? or am i wrong that...

    HTML, CSS, and maybe some java

    Hi bengal85 Although w3schools can be good, if you want to learn web coding properly i would avoid it, as although they mean well, the content is not always correct or updated fast enough. Issues with the site as presented at this website: http://w3fools.com/ They recommend these as better...

    bsod when installing win xp on ssd
