Hi, I recently upgraded my Windows XP with the Service Pack 2, and somehow my computer's usb ports now cannot be detected. Whatever peripherals I stick into the port, will not be detected by the computer at all. So now I can't transfer files from my cellphone nor my digicam. Am not very good with...

First I guess I need to ask, are Inspiron 1150 and 1100 lcds compatible? I am hoping so since, after breaking the lcd on my 1150, I shopped around and discovered a 1100 lcd on Ebay for a fraction of the cost of a new 1150 lcd. Since there were a lot of listings that stated that the 1150 and 1100...

I am planning on building a linux file server and was wondering what the minimum hardware requirements would be. I plan on using two large EIDE drives (maybe SATA w/ a separate hardware RAID card) that can by accessed by three other computers on the network (1 dual-boot SUSE/XP, 1 Kubuntu and 1...

Now, my bios doesn't even see either of my Hard Drives. I have taken out the PCI SATA Controller card and still no hard drives detected. I've checked jumper settings, cables. It must be in the bios but where? Below is yesterday's post. I replace my Maxtor ATA 120GB Slave drive with a new...

I bought a 450 watt power supply at CompUSA and then sent in all the paperwork to get a $20 rebate. When I got the rebate check I put it in my wallet and promptly forgot about it. It says: VOID after 12/30/2005. Has anybody had this problem and figured out how to get another check. I didn't try...

Hi, I have a HP LaserJet 4L printer that I've never changed the toner cartridge on. So I started shopping around on line tonight to see what they cost. Most places sell them for $98, and remanufactured ones for $75, but on pricewatch.com the cheapest ones were $30. Can anybody tell me if it's ok...

I have examined my black bar-ed keyboard and I am now convinced it's a delibare scam of somebody at least. The black bar-ed keyboard is definetly inferior. The design is all wrong and messed up. The sides are cut off and the worst part is it has a secondary black tiny bar at the bottom to fill up...

Hello, I find it weird how Logitech sells two different versions of the UltraX keyboard. One version is completely silver with black keys. The other version is silver with black keys but also a black bar across the keyboard near the top horizontal. It seems that many stores use the silver...

I just bought a new video card for my current AGP system and want to upgrade my mobo and cpu. Other than the Asus P5V800, what other boards support BOTH AGP and PCI Express GPU's? Thanks!! Eddie G

Yesterday, I replace my Maxtor ATA 120GB Slave drive with a new Seagate 300GB ATA drive. Primary Slave also. For some reason my XP Home SP2 wanted me to insert the Seagate disk. I did and it formatted to NTFS just fine. I then loaded my music collection on it no problem. Today, I turned on the same...
