A few days ago, I installed a new video card. I went from the original intel chipset to a geforce
6200. After I installed the card, all of my games worked great and everything was going good. But I
am not able to view any videos in windows media player. If I try to run a video, my computer starts
to run VERY slow and eventually freezes so I am forced to restart. I uninstalled and reinstalled the
drivers but that didnt help. Any ideas on what could be wrong?...

First of all i hope i posted in the right thread. Anyways..Can you actually take a video of your
desktop using the already intsalled programs on Windows. Like Print Screen for example.? the way i
do it know is connet my computer to the TV, and connect my TV to my computers Tv tuner card. and i
use a PVR application to take a movie. But i'm gussing there would be a simpler way. If there
is a freeware software that does this, can you post a link to it....

I need to get a better video card for my computer, but I found out that the video card I already

if it is integrated. Is this true?...

looking where it says that right now, but whenever I put in a DVD to play it says that there is no
disc. And when I try to make cd's it says I have no cd burner installed. I do not know if I have
to install them or what but I was told it was already installed. If anyone knows anything please
tell me because I really need to fix this because I need to get stuff on cd's...

For highschool graduation my parents said they will get me a computer. I have the choice of a
desktop computer and a PDA or a Laptop computer. I am having trouble deciding which would be better.
I will probably be going to the University of Missouri which, for the most part is wireless enabled.
I am leaning toward the desktop, PDA solution, but suggestions would be helpful. Thanks. Update:
Having considering my options. I have settled on a laptop. I have now begun to look for one. Any
suggestions on where to get a cheap, reliable laptop? What specs should I go with...
