Just curious, why would that be simpler than just booting the OS he is currently using? I mean, if he only had the one hard drive, he could boot a liveCD and save files to a flash drive or something. But if he's got a fully working other desktop I would think your suggestions for connecting that spare hard drive are way easier.

Depends on the router type and what the specific changes are. Obviously it is preferable to have the security as high as possible while still allowing for everything you want to be able to do. Check on the differences between the settings and then decide for yourself if you require the lower security for access purposes or if you can live with the restrictions of the higher security setting.

Assuming you are using a windows variant, the drivers are installed by the OS. You rarely, if ever, need to go and find drivers for an optical drive.
Check in device manager and see if there is a problem. If there's no problem there or in the BIOS you probably have a connection problem or problem with the drive itself.

Usually it's an either/or proposition. With most modems I've used to direct hookup, you can either use the ethernet OR the USB to hook up. Most modems are incapable of NAT, you need a router for that....and subsequently, for hooking up multiple PCs to one connection.

Answer to:
How do I get an AV system set up using a computer and sound files that will reproduce sound from music as good as they used to in the 1970's? I want to get rid of my CD's for storage reasons but the sound from mp3 files sound tinny through my Bose 321GSX
Why not get a receiver with a "sound" that you like and run the computer through that receiver? That way you will be using the 70s era amp to route sound to your speakers. It's not hard finding receivers, between ebay and the trash they are all over.
Answer to:
Is it possible to create an audio CD that will have more than 700mb of music on it? If so, How do I do that? DVD's will store more files but wont play as an audio CD in my Bose 321 GSX CD/DVD player
Most cd burning programs have an option for "overburn" or something similar. This will allow you to burn more data than is meant for the disc, though there is the possibility of damage to the disc or recorder. Read the warnings the software gives and judge for yourself.

There are also many free VNC variants available to you for this task. UltraVNC is pretty decent.

I'm assuming it's a 4GB per month cap. It's pretty unlikely you would hit the cap, but it really depends on how the music is streamed, how much streaming you are doing, etc.
The short answer is it is unlikely, but I don't know your listening habits. Try finding a site that offers very compact streams and you should be fine.

I've had good luck with Kaspersky's anti-virus component. I don't really like ANY security suites...too much crap. Better to assemble your own team of software so that you are sure to be getting what you need.
I like AVG, Malwarebytes Antimalware, and Superantispyware. Windows defender backs things up and ad-aware and spybot are on hand for manual scans.

That sounds like overheating or reboots due to blue screen errors. Make sure your system is set to NOT reboot on system errors. You should also monitor temps and MAKE SURE there isn't a temp spike or temp threshold reached before the machine reboots.

It would be good to know if it's Vista/XP/MacOS etc, but you should check in the process manager for your OS to see if something is hogging your CPU. In windows OS's this is most easily accomplished by pressing ctrl-shift-esc all together (works in Vista/XP/2k/etc). Then look to see what, if anything, is eating cpu cycles.

High end DSLRs tend to not have the flash built in simply because having the flash very near the optical sensor is a disadvantage. This is why you will often see professionals use a high mounted flash or a remote flash synced to the camera shutter.
Besides that, flashes take a decent amount of power and it is sometimes advantageous to power them separately from the rest of the camera.

Find the setup instructions for your sub and follow them.
Honestly though, that's an awfully vague question.
Is it a mono block D-class sub amp or are you bridging a multi channel amp? I'm just assuming the mtx is a sub, is it?
How about you tell us what you actually have and what you want to do....then we can actually give you some helpful advice.

Is it possible that detecting unused application can secure the user from slowing the computer?
I suppose. The short is answer is no, not really. But in theory, enough unused apps and whatnot could clog the PC with things launching on startup, increased size of registry, and just general usage of hard drive space. Use enough hard drive space and that alone will slow your computer down (inability to grow page file, inability to run effective defragment, etc).

.dat files can be just about anything, so there is not usually a default view that will handle them all. Try Superpad or EditPad or something like that since there may be text in the .dat file you can identify.
.doc files are usually associated with Wordpad by default and then with MS Word if you install MS Office.

Check in device manager to make sure the CD drive is listed there. If not, check in the BIOS to see if it is listed. If it's not listed in either of those places, you most likely have a dead optical drive. Though you should re-insert it and check the cable if convenient.

Unless BOTH the chip and the motherboard contacts are gold, there is no real advantage. In fact, one could argue that the dissimilar metals are actually disadvantageous.
Which is why it's always amusing when somebody markets a product with "gold plated contacts" OOOOH! Meanwhile, they are taking that gold plated contact and plugging it into something that isn't gold...

Download a new driver for your sound card and try that.
The only other thing you can really do is buy an external sound card (they have USB, PC Card, and probably ExpressCard ones) and use that instead of the likely very crappy onboard sound.

If you want it, do it. Especially that piercing, since it doesn't have to be permanent and it's a minor procedure.

Quite possibly. If only in the beginning because it is much more of a hassle.

If it was as easily accepted as straight marriages I bet the numbers would be about equivalent.

It's especially nice to have pics of your SO when they are away for an extended time. Nothing lets you know you've found the right one like the realization that you'd rather see your girl naked than look...

There are also USB sound cards you can buy if it's just a temporary thing. For them just connect them up and load the drivers (if any).

You mean you only hear a sound from your modem when you connect online via dial-up? This is because the modem has it's own speaker.
Easiest way to tell if you have a sound card is to look at the back of the PC for audio jacks. Or check device manager under Sound and Multimedia to see if something is listed.

King is right, points for him.
You CAN buy an external enclosure for the HD and use it as a very portable external drive. Or probably even boot off of it considering how new the laptop is. You won't want to do that though, better off buying a replacement HD to stick in the HP's extra HD bay.

1) Make sure the jumpers on the hard drives are not set to enable 32GB limits for older hardware.

The repair install that you did should reload nearly all of the system files. You should still run antivirus scans and possibly a few other malware scans on it, but you should be good to go.
You may notice that some programs don't work after the repair install and may need to be reinstalled. Or you may be fine, depends on what you use.

Answer to:
I want to put three 10 inch speakers in my car is an amp with 1200 watts enough power or do i need an amp with more watts?
Besides the fact that it's unlikely the amp puts out 1200 watts except in an extreme burst before it dies, we are going to need to know a few things.
What are the specs on the subs?
What type of amp? (So we can figure out what it will really do)
For a 1200W amp at 14.4V (assuming it cranks constantly at 1200W - which is also crazy) you are going to need 83Amps from your alternator!...
Answer to:
Installed a 10" sub in my car and the amp, all the fuses, and the connection is good, my speaker also isn't blown what could be causing it not to work anymore?
Does the amp turn on and push normal speakers?
Does the sub work on another amp?
We need to know what specifically "isn't working".
Is the amp turning on and the speaker not moving?
-If so, try other speakers, try another amp, etc in an attempt to figure out what isn't working. Then you can troubleshoot down from there.

I'm running a Dell desktop computer, no frills, factory direct. Unsure about model. It has the usual "DVD/CD-RW Drive" but does that mean I can burn DVDs with it? I think not.
You think correctly. You have what is commonly referred to as a "combo drive". It can read DVDs and Read or Write CDRs and CDRWs.
A DVD burner or DVD-RW can do all of the above AND burn DVDs. That's what you would need.
If you really want to burn DVDs just buy a drive, they are DIRT CHEAP. $25 and up for a DVD-RW drive.

I just heard the movie "The Dark Knight" has already surpassed the 300 million dollar mark. Do you think after it comes out on DVD it will be the best selling movie of all time?
Possibly, it was really good. They actually managed to make Batman realistic (somewhat) and gave it the dark tone it deserves. Instead of Joker being a raving lunatic who is theatrical about killing, he was gritty and had a purpose behind his mayhem. Heath Ledger was fantastic!

40C is nothing. You may be seeing different speeds because of Intel's SpeedStep feature, which changes the clock speed based on usage patterns (or heat).
Try running CPU-Z to determine what's in there.

Sevice pack 3, i cant get onto the internet once i have installed it, i have to system restore it back to service pack 2, computer is running slow because its needing service pack 3, how can i get back online please
Service Pack 3 is probably not going to help a slow running computer. You need to fix your computer issues before installing the next service pack.
Generally, upgrading and OS or installing a SP is not going to be a magic fix. Clean the house and get it in order before trying to attract a new buyer.

I would advise her to be a little less slutty, or at least have the decency to do it in private. Obviously this should be worded in a nicer way.
Or you could go the "scare the hell out of her route" and explain all the fun infections and whatnot she can contract by being sexually active.

Do you think that music is getting better or worse?
I don't think "today's music" is any better or any worse.
I do think that today's musical climate lends itself to the propagation of a lot of BAD music for the sake of sales potential. You have mega corporations in control of the industry who are more concerned with profit than putting out good music. There is still good music out there, you just need to DIG!

It's easier to believe things you may already wonder about because of your own insecurities.

It means she is a normal 13 year old girl.
Seriously though, people are so volatile at that age it is almost impossible to carry on a long term relationship of any kind.
Answer to:
If someone cheated on you does this mean that they do not love you?
Not necessarily. It just means that they (at least once) exercised very bad judgment. Every couple is different, and you will have to decide if this is something you can get over. But one time cheating does not have to mean the end of a relationship if the partner is truly sorry and willing / able to change.

Answer to:
Since many human parents take care of their children for many years past maturity and continue to support in many ways after the children leave, does this weaken their ability to become strong and independent in coparison to other species?
Nope. Species with more to teach tend to hold on to the children longer.
Also, lions and tigers don't need to deal with absurd costs of living and rising housing prices. Well actually, as we take their habitats perhaps they do...
Answer to:
Will you share a drink with another person who isnt your spouse or child?
Depending on how old your children are, I would recommend keeping that confined to inside the house. Bringing little Tommy out for a night of tequila shots isn't always the best idea ;)

How do I take drum beats I've made on my Boss DR-880 Dr. Rhythm, and put them on my computer?
I basically agree with Alice. From the specs available online, you have plenty of audio outs. Convert the RCAs to minijack or use one of the other ones and plop the minijack into your soundcard's Audio In.
Goldwave isn't bad but I'm not sure if it's free anymore. Audacity is free and easy.

Answer to:
What do you think of the converter boxes that must be bought for analog televisions in order to get any channels in the future? Is it worth buying?
By worth buying do you mean instead of getting a new TV?
You can order up to two rebates per household from the government (US) so I'd say if you aren't ready to take the plunge on something new and need a solution it's worth the $10 per box.

After a certain amount of time does your guy / girl still makes you nervous and has that effect on you like you just met?
Not really. She doesn't make me nervous anymore. The butterflies do go away but they get replaced with a nice warmth and comfort that I wouldn't give up for the churning stomach.

How data rate for pcm(pulse code modulation) is derived?
Dude....do your own homework.
Answer to:
Why AC voltage is converted into DC voltage?
Because AC is actually a real pain in the arse but lends itself to being transmitted over large distances.
Where exactly is the conversion that we are speaking about though?

I want computer or laptop for myself... it has to be able hold a few games,graphic programs,& a relatively fast internet in the price range of $0-$750. Any ideas?
Depends on the games and graphics programs you want to run. Are we talking some basic picture editing stuff or full-on animation programs? As for games.....do you just want to be able to play the Sims from like 3 years ago or you want to be able to run Crysis?
You aren't going to build a laptop, but there are plenty available in the $500 range that are decent. The same could be said for...
Answer to:
Inherited used laptop. When it arrived it was already logged in. My son changed the user name from Rachel (with password) to Cory. Now when turning the laptop on only choice is Cory. Rachel's password does not work. Cannot logon to
Try ctrl-alt-delete twice when you see the Cory selection.
Type "administrator" as the user and no password. It's possible they left the admin account open and you can use that to change things around.
Otherwise you can have someone with a bit more knowledge use Hiren's or the Ultimate Boot CD to boot from disc and reset the passwords on all accounts for you.

Answer to:
How am i suppose to get hardware for my computer because my driver downloads don't work without enough hardware?
eh...what?!?
Drivers (extensions in MacOS speak) tell your operating system (Windows/MacOS/Linux/etc) how to make use of the hardware present. You don't NEED hardware to be able to download a driver, though you do need drivers to be able to use your hardware.

I have a sixteen year old son that is staying with me for the summer. He insists that, although he has a bed at my house and at his dads, he is more comfortable sleeping on the floor. Should I be concerned?
No. It's possible he is a secret service agent or likes sleeping on a hard cool surface. His back may actually thank him!

Answer to:
I have been taking thousand copy of digital photos, do you think which is better to save in CD or DVD so that it would be safe to keep for years.
Actually, considering the prices of flash drives today I would use them instead. CDs and DVDs are easily scratched (though you can always make a bunch of DVD backups). Flash drives (thumb drives, "zip" drives, or whatever you call them where you are) can be run through the washing machine and in some cases even shot without losing their data.
Since they are cheap and nearly...

Well i've been watching desperate housewives on my laptop for the past week and today when i popped 3 differe.DVD into the drive, it just wouldn't work. usually there are notifications that would pop up and notify me that there is a DVD
Test it with a known working DVD and then a CD. If the DVDs don't work and the CDs do, you have a problem.

An awesome DJ name. And of course records so you can be an old-school elitist about them and the $2000 player you use to feed the tunes to some really generic Polk loudspeakers.

I'm 24, husband's 26. Known each other for 9 years, married for 9 months. Financially stable. Both of us want kids. Do you think we are to young to start with a family?
No way. Both my parents and my S/O's parents were younger and we didn't turn out toooo poorly ;)
Seems like you are ahead of the game since you have thought about it and determined you might be ready!

When I'm looking at someone else's profile and pictures shared (not someone registered as a friend) how can I be sure my looking is not being tracked with all the free tracking software downloads advertised on this site?
"When I look at other profiles in my network"
-Not sure what you mean by that.
"how secure is anonymous browsing of profiles and pictures"
-Depends on the method used. Are you using a public proxy, tor servers, someone else's spoofed IP, etc??

I just download Solaris 10 Edition in XP OS. i have nero 8.2 on xp. How can i write this Solaris 10 Edition on a DVD by using DATA DVD. or i can't write this OS in XP platform?
What did you get the image as....an ISO?
If so just google ISO burning with Nero...and I'm sure you'll be fine.

My monitor screen jumps around and does not go up or down when I want it to. I cannot work on the computer without control over this function. Does anyone have an idea what is happening and how to fix it? Thank you.
The monitor and/or the video card (or one of the drivers for either) are the culprits I would test first.

Is it possible to covert dvi / vga output to composite video input?
As far as I'm aware, you can almost never convert an output into an input. Then again, perhaps I misunderstood the question.
Answer to:
I have a Mac os x 10.3.9 version and want to upgrade to Leopard 10.5 ...is that possible?
Probably, but what hardware do you have. The Leopard page should list all acceptable hardware. And with Macs it's pretty easy since they all have cutesy names.
If you don't appear on the list as approved hardware for running Leopard you still very well may be able to run it, but you might have to do some googling to find out how (if at all) it will run on your machine.
Answer to:
Why wont my ps3 obtain an ip address via my virgin media modem on a wired connection?
-do you have a router
-is it set to give out addresses (DHCP)
The modem may be expecting a certain MAC address too. This is why routers usually have a "clone MAC address" feature available.
Considering the price of routers these days (you can get them nearly for free after rebates or for about $25 without) I'd get a router and make my life easier. Not to mention the...

How can I get rid off all the stupid advertisements around the side of all my web pages ( I use Firefox 3 )?
Adblock works pretty well - sometimes too well.
I like Flashblock, since most ads are flash anyway. It also makes it easy to load up a bunch of youtube like sites and then just start the ones you want to watch, one at a time.

Why can't I download using any Peer to Peer client? I have tried Protocol encryption with Utorrent, and made it an exception in Windows Firewall, but nothing gets through. It can't pick up any seeds or leeches, it just says updating... updating...
You sure you don't have another firewall (ahem...Anti-virus or hardware firewall via router) in the way?
Answer to:
I want to install Linux on my new Mac using BootCamp. Has anyone else tried it yet? This is because of gaming; I heard that most pc games run fine using Wine in Linux, and I need to have a MUD client as well.
If you have a NEW mac why not just install WINDOWS. I hear games run pretty well natively in Windows too ;)
Seriously though, running them natively in Windows has to be faster than using Wine. Since you already have Boot Camp ready to go anyway, you should have no trouble with the XP install (or whatever you choose to put in).
Answer to:
Would be possible to replace Dell Pentium 4 processor with AMD processor? and why.
Yeah sure. I mean, they are both completely different and aren't even made by the same manufacturer, but sure. Screw these fancy pin numbers, just mash the new CPU right in there and I'm sure the rig will fire right up with AMD goodness ;)
