    Computer cant find Ethernet connection.

    I've been using a bridged connection from my computer to my Xbox 360 to get online. I recently purchased a new hard drive and had reinstalled the same disc of Windows XP on it. But this time when I plug in the Ethernet cable that connects my 360 to my PC, windows wont detect it. I've checked...

    Removing Windows XP account privacy?

    Hey guys. I bought a new Hard Drive and am in the process of transferring all my files over. I kept my old drive in my system as a secondary, and I can access it through my computer on the new one. The only problem is my folder that holds all my files is access restricted, I since went back...

    Can anyone tell me what this cable is?

    Ok so I think I got this cable with my video card, when I built my Computer in March. But I have no idea what it is! I'm assuming it allows you to display your screen on a TV. But I'm not entirely sure what it is used for or how I can use it. Plus there is no place to plug it into my...

    Is there any GOOD straight forward tutorial sites?

    Its been very annoying for me to try and learn programming on my own. First of all, I work best when I am taught by another person, and in person. I will surely be taking programming classes in college next year, but for the time being I want to learn any language. I've tried C++ and C#...

    Help! Old Computer needs hard drive replaced

    So I've recently aquired my parents old computer for my room. I plan to learn how to use Linux or something like that with this computer. Except the Hard Drive is so old and slow and loud that I want to replace it. The computer is a VPR Matrix, and the Hard drive is a Western Digital Caviar...

    Activation Key

    Thanks for the replies. I have the OEM version so I'm guessing I will have to do that whole process when I reformat in 6 months or so. By then I hope to be using linux though. :P I've just had it with windows, the only thing it has going for it is the gaming but if I get good enough then I...

    Activation Key

    I got a stupid question but I never really thought about it before. Will my Windows XP activation key ever wear out? In the past 3 weeks I've reformatted a few times trying different things with dual boot using Windows and Linux (basically I screwed up the grub loader a few times and had to...

    Would this make a good computer?

    I'll look into it. I know Sata is out there and its coming to be standard but in my parents situation, they wont want to upgrade but keep this computer for about 4 or so years before buying a complete new one again. So upgrading and keeping to the current standards isnt really needed for their...

    Would this make a good computer?

    I think a celeron will do the trick for the type of computing they need. I dont need a high performance PC because the computer is lightly used by them. I've updated the list of parts. I'm sticking with the case...

    Would this make a good computer?

    Thank you for the long reply Stuey83! A lot of help there. But I feel that some of it was performance driven. For one that I'm aware of the low RPM speed on the 2nd Harddrive. But let me clarify that the drive is being used soley for backup storage. Mainly just for itunes music and any...
