    save a man a trip to geek squad please!

    It's the old proverb GIve a man a fish, Teach a man to fish. I'd rather have them learn for themselves what not to terminate then be told.

    save a man a trip to geek squad please!

    I'm so sorry, but I didn't hear you, Archangel...what did you say? ;) Also, megalow, click on Start>Run, and type in "msconfig". Click the Startup tab and uncheck some of the items in there. These are the items that your computer automatically opens when you boot into windows. Usually you...

    Upgrading Memory

    Not quite, but pretty close. First, find out precisely which type of ram you need (PC2700 most likely). Then find out if your laptop has one or two slots for ram. If it has one, you need to replace the 256 stick that's in there with a larger (512 or 1GB) one. If there's two, you can just add...

    save a man a trip to geek squad please!

    Nubs. First of all, check the available space on your HDD. If you have less than 1GB, I wouldn't be surprised if your master file table is corrupted and you need to do a clean install of everything. Secondly, before you try to run CS:1.6, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete and click the Processes tab...

    Almost any computer store, CompUSA, Best Buy, etc. It's about $50 - $80 for the card, depending. just make sure you get the right type (PCI or AGP).

    problem running a game

    It's integrated graphics. That explains it. You need some kind of PCI or AGP video card. Try the nVidia GeForce 5200 or 5500 series.

    workgroup problem

    The user name and password it is asking for is the same user name and password you would use to log into the computer you are trying to access. The reason you are not able to change said user name is because there is only one authorized user on that computer: the account you created when you...

    workgroup problem

    Also, on an internal network, you must set the username and password on BOTH machines to be identical. For instance, when you log onto Windows, if the username is JohnDoe and the password is MSPress@LS#1 on one of the machines, the same must be true for the other machine. The only work around...

    Gaming Headsets - suggestions please

    Basically, any headset with noise-cancelling earpads (those cushy things around the earpieces) and a flexible mic should be fine. If youare getting monorual sound from them, check to make sure the jack is plugged in all the way. Often when it is only plugged in half way, you will only get...

    wireless net

    There should be a wireless 101. Maybe I will make it. Linsys is not "shit," as you so eloquently put it, nor will you be able to buy any wireless router and magically have internet on your new (insert explative) Dell. (I hate Dell.) Unless it comes with integrated wireless capability (most...

    firewire port doesn't detect camcord ><

    I wouldn't even go that far. When a camcorder goes into power-save mode, it does not send a signal to the computer to tell it that it's turning itself off. However, when you restart the camera, it tries to tell the computer that it's turning back on from an off state. As a result, this does...

    Water Damage

    One question: Why did you take it in your kayak without putting it at least a ziplock bag or something? Kayak = water, and water = bad for camera.

    sony cybershot PLEASE HELP

    First of all, whenever you go to a store to buy a piece of technology that costs any more than $150 - $200, ALWAYS purchase the store's in-house extended warantee. It helps avoid problems like this in the future. Most retailers will only have a return policy of anywhere from 14 to 30 days...

    How long can a digital camera battery sustain?

    It's ridiculously difficult to gague exactly how long a digital camera's battery(ies) will last. The use of such power-draining devices (flach, 2.0" LCD screens, etc) bring in too many variables. However, as the former lead of the Digital Imagine department of a local technology store, I can...
