    How Many Seconds Does It Take For Your Computer Boot Up?

    Really, I wasn't aware of that feature! Thanks! Sadly it probably won't help any (not that it takes a while anyway).

    I hate Mozilla Firefox. Come get me!

    It was simple mechanics of a computers file system. Most grandmas would buy a pre-built and use IE or they would use Firefox and never know how to get flash working:D I'm glad you finally got it working and I hope you learned a couple things, (not trying to be rude, I really hope you...

    Computer Problem

    I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to describe. It seems like a possibility that something isn't correctly connected. I would recommend going through your PC and making sure all hardware is seated properly in the expansion slots, I would also check the wiring to the control panel of your...

    How Many Seconds Does It Take For Your Computer Boot Up?

    I just learned that you can set your PC in Windows 7 to boot using all the cores on your CPU. I've changed mine from 1 to 4 and didn't see any performance enhancements :(

    I hate Mozilla Firefox. Come get me!

    So I was right, it was a user error :D Find the .exe through the above method, double click the download or change it to download to desktop and install.

    stuck in reformat

    Since you are trying to re-install XP totally make sure you re-format your drive that you want to install on (all data will be lost). As for the HDD controller, what type of HDD do you have IDE or SATA?

    New computer

    If the old Windows XP disc has its own individual key then you can. If the old Windows XP disc is from a pre-built then it will only work on that configuration. With all honesty Vista is a great OS.

    I hate Mozilla Firefox. Come get me!

    You seem to have done it correctly. I see you have downloaded it 9 times :D. The next step is to go to where you saved the .exe (most likely your desktop). Once you find the .exe, run it and let it install (should take seconds). It will prompt you saying that it installed, then you can close...

    I hate Mozilla Firefox. Come get me!

    In case you are a step ahead of me, I would suggest then going to Youtube and trying to watch a video ( you will be prompted that Java is not enabled or you don't have flash). A dialog box should soon appear after you click get flash. It won't automatically install, so you have to click "manual...

    I hate Mozilla Firefox. Come get me!

    I wasn't trying to be rude, but it seems that it's an error on your behalf instead of the program. Tips to get FF running. -Uninstall Firefox -Go to my computer>C drive> program files> Mozilla > delete the Firefox one, or if you don't use any Mozilla products delete the whole folder...

    stuck in reformat

    I believe this might have something to do with your system needing XP drivers. Do you still get the blue screen?

    I hate Mozilla Firefox. Come get me!

    You're not using it correctly. Once you install Firefox you have to download add-ons to get tip top performance. Install Firefox, download flash player, download ad blocker pro, etc. There is no reason why FF wouldn't work.

    music and video sharing file server

    I know you can do a basic one through Windows Network (a home network) but I'd like to see what other software is available.

    New HP: Suggestions?

    You have a couple options, order online, go to Best Buy, or build yourself (would be better for gaming and 3d modeling). I would suggest going to Best Buy, every once in a while they have a Dell XPS w/ a 4850 that would suit your needs and the i7 for about a grand. If you skim the flier every...

    Vista to XP driver problems

    Go to start > right click on my computer > hardware tab > device manager. List everything that has a yellow question mark on it. Then copy those into a post here. Also double click on them and ask Windows to find them. This will give us an idea of what driver it could be (My last name is Trotter...

    Dremel Work

    Most are aluminum or thin steel (I believe). I would just go slow, and don't cut too deep at first. Also a tip, be careful and make sure your wheel is fastened correctly, don't want that flying around!:D

    Wii Recommendations

    Yup, to me the Wii is a gimmick. There is no "must have" titles that would force me to purchase one (my sister has one). Mario, and SSB are good, but that's about it. And I agree with the third party titles, they are terrible.
