I recently got a new computer, a NEC i-Select D5410. A few days ago it started to randomly crash,
and all inputs and outputs were cut. The monitor displayed "No Signal", the keyboard and mouse
stopped working and the speakers cut out, yet the power light remained on, and the fans were still
spinning. Opening the DVD and CD drive still worked, so it isn't a power or mobo failure, as far
as I am aware. In an attempt to remedy the problem I have moved the computer into a more open area
to try and improve air flow, as I belive the problem is overheating or lack of air c...

Hey, guys. I recently received Civilization IV as a gift. Yesterday, I tried to install the game
and ran into a problem. The game comes as a two disc set and both discs are necessary for the
installation process. Well, I put in the first CD and followed the steps properly. Halfway through
the installation it told me to replace CD 1 with the second CD. I did this and it continued to
install. Right before the installation completed, I received an error from the game. I received
the following: (click thumbnail) Can anyone tell me what this means? Has anyone ...

Well last night I got a email from my favorite email provider, yahoo, and said yahoo 9.0 is out with
a semi new look. However, thats where my problem begins in which I spent about an hour total with
the yahoo crew trying to figure out why this problem is happening and using different trouble
shooting idea's. It is also to note that this is my first beta software period that I have
actually had a problem, so now my infamous record is tarnish with this little bug. --Issue--
During the second part of installation at around 35-38% I a get a 404 error I click abort ...

So i want to apologize if this is not the right place, i really don't venture far from where i
usually post and as far as i am concerned this is like a whole other world. Plus i only know
computers so much, and so placing this was hard since i don't quite know what it is. So i got
the desperate housewives game (i love the show, and like games like that...I'm simple okay?) and
prior to buying it i had read it had issues but i went ahead and got it anyway. Well...what do you
know it has issues. So i put the disk in and it checks for requirements. I pass all bu...

I am having trouble when trying to update the driver for my 'creative audigy 2 ZS' sound
card. I downloaded the driver, then went to update it and it says please reboot your computer for
the hardware to start working. It then has a '?' in device manager and basically doesn't
work. When i try to update it again i get a prompt that says, "before applying this update you need
to reboot your computer". It seems to me like the driver installed is corrupt. I can't do
anything with it. I have tried a few things such as different versions of the driver a...

im not really sure why this is happeneing. Firstly, let me explain how this is all set up I have a
cable modem, which has a cord going into my wireless router, and also into my desktop. now last
night, i was on the desktop, and my dad was on his laptop using the wireless internet. both of us
were disconnected at the same time (thats never happened before) i couldnt connect to the web or
through mIRC. after a few minutes, it was back to normal later last night, i lost connection
again, waited around for a while, and still couldnt get connected, so i shut down the c...

so we've just had dsl connected a few days ago. i'm currently enjoying the fast connection
and i have downloaded large files that i couldn't download using dial-up. but i noticed that
whenever i turn on the router, other programs end up running slower. one very obvious observation
was windows media player. i'm a music lover and i turn on wmp everytime i work on this pc. but
whenever i turn on the router so i could connect using dsl, the sound become choppy and plays slow.
at first i thought it was just about the "processes running" and the "cpu usage" sin...

Well I have to say that my computer has given me nothing but bad luck! The first time I got it I
thought it was the greatest thing ever, coming from a 1.11 GHz Proccessor to a 2.53 GHz. But after
time past it just got worse. I would like to say that I have a DELL, and no I don't have
anything against others who have a DELL desktop computer. This computer is one of those that stands
up vertically so that the DVD/CD-ROM drive is also vertical. This is the first problem. I end up
having to sit there clicking the button over and over to eject a CD. This is because th...

Ok, I'll type this topic really really slow, so i dont make any typos. Yep..If you go through
all my history of posts and topics you will find at least 10 typos in a single post. ANd if you went
to an extenct to look at my website, well you'll be on it for a long time counting how many
typos i have made. I type really fast, and i do mean fast. When i do it in word, i just run the
spell check and BAM its all fixed. But when i do it in other programs which dosent have Spell Check,
i makes lots of typos. I think i know what some of you would say, preview it befor...

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....

There are a group of items that you may need to know when you go on the internet. They are: How to
save a web article and also how to save a drawing or picture in that article. You cannot save them
both to the same file name. How to print out your e-mail when "yahoo" will let you read the e-mail
but will not let you print it. When you cannot download your e-mail from your ISP and the manager
will not help you. I will now tell you how to correct them. First: I have a web site on "Agora"
that I use for odds and ends. The manager does not have a phone number to call...

I went out to best buy and I purchased a 500 watt pus and everything would turn on BUT when I turn

I need to get a better video card for my computer, but I found out that the video card I already
have is integrated. Lots of people have been telling me that you can't change the video card if
it's integrated. But this one kid from my school said that you can change the video card even
if it is integrated. Is this true?...

I have 2 computers, 1 PC and one Laptop. Before I had the laptop I got SBC yahoo DSL for my PC and
it worked fine. Then when I got my laptop I bought a router so that I can use my sbc yahoo dsl on
both computers. And it was pretty easy to connect. You would click on this thing called Local Area
connection I think and you find your router and connect to it. Recently I got lots of spyware on my
laptop so I restore my laptop using the restore CD that came with my laptop. Once it was restored
the local area connection (if that’s what its called) was gone and I could no longe...

Well I am currently on my third pc and it is really new. I mean I have almost the harddrive full but
that is besides the point. My computer is IBM and it says he has a dvd player and cd-writer. I am
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...

Hey guys, I have a home network in my house. I can connect to all the workgroup computers when I set
a manual ip for each comp. But I can't view the internet if I set it to manual. When I put it on

I just built my own computer... It works fine, but there's a problem with the internet
connection... The internet is very slow when 2 or 3 computers are connected to the internet,
especially when a onlinegame is running on an other computer. But when I try to play games online
on the new computer, the ping is normal, but I'm getting flood kicked. The problem doesn't
appear on the other computer in the wireless network here. Can someone help me?...

Ok well yesterday I dled an apparently important windows security update. After it downloaded my
screen changed it's size and level. It went from a 1028 by 800 or whatever that regular 17 inch
size is to 640 by 880 and it had changed to medium 12 bit. I don't know why. So I turned my
computer off and left for school. I came back home and I turned my computer on. It said that
something in my system32 file was either gone or corrupted and that I had to reboot my entire
computer. So um.. I am asking, how do I get all my files and music files off the hard drive befo...
