I have a computer with a 3 1/2" floppy drive. The computer is a PII 400 MHZ running XP and has 256mb memory. The problem is this. If I insert a floppy into the drive and copy files onto my hard drive or just look at them and then remove the floppy, any further access to the empty floppy...

I have a new computer with Xp as the operating system. I would like to have windows explorer always start up as if I had clicked My Computer where the drives are displayed instead of Desktop. Is it possible to force Windows Explorer to open where it was the last time it was closed? Keith

I have an old computer that has XP as it's operating system. I am the only user on the machine. I am giving the computer to a friend and want to have it so when ir boots and when START is pressed, his name appears instead of mine. I also want my name to not be associated with this computer at...

I'm in the process of putting together a new system. The MB will be an ASUS P4C800E Deluxe. Is the sound on this board anything to write home about? If not, what is a bit better but will not break the bank? I would like reasonably good sound but I only have an old Altec Lansing pair of speakers...

INTEL 2.8 P4 800FSB

I plan on a P4 2.8 800FSB CPU, 1Gig of Corsair TWIN_X 3200C2 memory and to start, one Maxtor 120GB SATA drive. I will use a Saphire 9600Pro video card. I want on board sound, LAN and 1394. I do NOT want to overclock. I want to get advice on a MOBO that will be rock solid. Faster would be nice...

Thanks for the note. It was informative but maybe you can answer what is meant or how to interpret the following. PC4000 3-4-4-8 2x256mb DDR 2-3-2 What does 3-4-4-8 and 2-3-2 mean in reference to those memory modules?

I'm running a P4 2.8 800FSB CPU with one gig of 3200 DDR RAM and one SATA hard drive and a mid range video card (No gaming). Does it make any sense or is it useful to stick a CPU cooler like a Zalman 7000 in the mix? I'd like the system to be stable and long lived but is the cooler that is...

Can anyone please explain what the numbers that follow a memory stick description mean? As an example: PC2700 512MB 2-2-2 LOW LATENCY Just point me to a place where I can read about it or explain it if you will. K.

I am getting a new computer and I specifying an ASUS P4C800E Deluxe motherboard with a P4 2.8 800FSB processor. I will not overclock it. I will probably have one large SATA hard drive, not two so I don't intend to take advantage of data split over two drives. I would like to have 1 gb of brand...

Have you ever seen a review of this monitor? I have looked everywhere and find no mention of it. I haven't cast my eyes on it and am wary of buying it sight unseen out of a box. I'm in Ottawa Canada and getting a look at anything up close and personal is difficult here.

Given that there are Intel fanatics (fans) and also AMD fanatics (fans) on this forum, what Intel CPU would be closest in performance to the AMD 2500 Barton CPU. I have always been an Intel user but would like to know what Intel CPU compares to an AMD 2500 Barton? Close is fine. No overclocking...

I posted this under monitors but I thought maybe the people who prowl this forum might have some inout for me. Anyone out there own or have an opinion on the LG Flatron F900P 19" monitor? It with the Samsung 957mb and the Viewsonic P95F+ are on my short list for a new monitor. I don't see much...

Anyone out there own or have an opinion on the LG Flatron F900P 19" monitor? It with the Samsung 957mb and the Viewsonic P95F+ are on my short list for a new monitor. I don't see much chatter about this monitor. Is it too new or to many $$ for what you get?
