I'm actually looking forward to checking out Morro. The AV in OneCare didn't do that great a job scanning according to most AV rating sites. With Microsft turning things around with I have high hopes for Morro.

I love the Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000. It's been replaced by the 4000 now. It's small, lightwieght and comfertable to hold. It runs off a single AA battery and last about 6 months for the normal man. I get about 3 months but use my computer much more then most people.

Have you check for any bulging or blown capacitors?

The poster is using some sort of direct cd program. Get yoruself a USB flash drive. A 4 Gig drive will cost you about $16 at Wal-mart.

There is a program called Fix HDC on the UBCD for Windows that sets your hard drive controller to generic that, in most cases, will allow the system to boot and install devices. This helps to avoid a reinstall and all the problems that come with it. If this doesn't work then certainly do a...

Typically thoses skips are caused when the computer doesn't record the live sound for a second because the sound card can't keep up. Alot of PCs with on board sound just aren't good at sound recording. A lot of older (and some newer) PCs have the same issue your having for seemingly no real...

WPA-PSK [TKIP] is perfectly fine. Depending on your devices they may not support WPA2 anyways. In any case as long as you have a good long non-dictionary password like a 63 digital random password made up of letters (upper and lower case) and numbers you will won't be getting hacked.

Just looked this up for a friend on the offical nvidia website actually. You can use two differnt cards but they have to have the same GPU. So you could use a 9400GTC and a 9400GTS OC but you could not use a 8600 and a 9800 (or even an 8600 and 8800). I've heard people claim in forums they...

SLC vr MLC is on of thoses in the end doesn't really matter things. THe differnce between the too is in SLC 1bit = 1 cell on the disc, in MLC 2bits = 1 cell. Writing two bits per cell will cause that cell to "wear out" sooner. How much sooner who knows. How long with it take you to get to 1...

I stoped using Ccleaner a long time after I double checked it and found that it leaves just as much behind as it says it gets rid of. You can check the options in Ccleaner to see if system restore is listed in there. The better question is why such a need for system restore?

Sorry that's not something you can do yourself. To many variables and the like. You need to take it to a trusted local non-big box repair shop. Or maybe you should go visit a divorce lawyer.

One of the first options when you start installing Widnows XP allows you to create or format partitions. Same screen where you select which partition to install Windows too. I almost wonder if you have some hardware issue not just software. If deleting and recreating the partition doesn't fix...

No you will not be able to if it is a system restore disc. If it's actually an OEM copy of Windows and not restore disc then you can use it to install Windows on the HP with the COA on the HP computer assuming it is XP. You could not use it however to "upgrade" the HP to Windows XP if it did...

The computer is not a piece of shit your electrical service is. No matter how good a system is when you have a power outage/brown out and your voltage spikes up and down it can kill anything. What you need is a good quaility UPS to protect your investment. Dell makes fine computers that work...

Now that you have tried step 2 of my suggestion have you tried 1, 3 and 4? Also have you tried connecting to a different network like AdmnPower suggested?

Be sure to check that your motherboard in that system has a PCI-E slot to put an upgraded graphics card.

Assuming you don't have issues with your hardware you can improve your wireless performance by doing the following. 1. Upgrade router firmware. 2. Upgrade wireless driver. 3. Replace worn cables. 4. Proper router placement: Off the floor, away from metal objects, away from high powered...

Your best bet is going to be to to have the two computers on the same network and share out the optical drive on the laptop as rupertbear suggested. I would kind of assume that since you have two wireless computers (again I assume the laptop is wireless) you have a router already. It is...

What do you have for fans now?

Hopefully he learned his lesson it's likely to be an expensive one. The drive recovery services I've actually heard of working start at about $1500 US. Most charge about $600 or so just to look at the drive and see if data is recoverable.
