so i reformatted my brother's computer and turned off some services according to this guide. But for some reason, user-switching doesn't work. In more detail, it doesn't go to the Welcome Screen when I go to Start > Log off > switch user (it does nothing). But when I hit windows+L, it shows the...

I'm running out of space on my laptop hard drive so I was thinking of getting an ext. hd. But I decided that I should get an external enclosure with an hd in it. I intend to use this drive as if it were an internal drive (store all of my junk there, listen to music off of it, etc). Now, I...

I was planning to get an external harddrive for my laptop, and I was thinking that I should get an external enclosure with a harddrive instead so I don't have to worry about the external hd malfunctioning and buying a new one; so with the enclosure, I can just easily change the HD or whatever...

So my aunt's friend has a Dell Dimension 4600C and some Dell monitor. My aunt asks me to look at it to see what's up with it because something's wrong with it. I hooked everything up properly and turn it on. The hard drive spins and the power lamp turns on, but the monitor is in a power save...

I'm trying to hookup my laptop HD to the desktop PC (using this to hook it up to the second slot) in order to try and recover some data with GetBackData (corrupt windows partition :() So I hooked it up and everything and the BIOS has the primary master, primary slave, etc. to auto so it...

Recently, I have installed Ubuntu Linux and tried for a dual boot with Windows XP but then I wasn't able to boot into Windows. After asking a lot of questions, I've found out that the NTFS partition became corrupt. I have absolutely no idea, and for the heck of it, I ran fixboot and fixmbr with...

So I've tried using fixboot and fixmbr for my corrupted NTFS partition, and to my unamazement, the partition converted to FAT16. I'm able to mount the partition in Ubuntu and view the contents but of course, it's all cracked. Is there any way to access/fix this stuff or do I have to reformat?

At first, I've been trying to boot into my Windows XP partition and trying to solve that problem (as you can see here) but I found out that I couldn't even mount the partition. I try mounting it and get the following: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda2, missing...

I've always been on a router but ever since my ISP (Comcast) had problems, I can't use a router. One day, my internet wasn't working so I tried directly connecting my cable modem to my computer and it worked. I switched back to my SMC Barricade SMC7004ABR router and I tried using my Netgear...

I'm debating whether to save up for the Asus M6BNe or the Asus V6V. The things that are throwing me off is the video cards, battery life, and if it's easily customizable. I will probably just use this laptop for home use (I need my own computer so I can experiment with Linux and the different...

So I'm on my new computer (customized) on Windows XP Home SP2. Whenever I use Firefox or Thunderbird, they always freeze randomly and "come back to life" after a few seconds. I tried a reinstall but it didn't help. When I use Firefox after I turn on my computer, it usually only freezes on...

I turned on my computer today then turned on the monitor. The screen flickered and then it's blank. Obviously, something's wrong with the monitor. Earlier today, my mom checked her email but it was working fine. I tried turning the monitor on without the computer on and it still remains black...

Well, I've installed the latest SiS 300/305 driver in order to play CS 1.6 on this thing. After I did, the screen is all "glitchy" now. Like the screen would "spasm" whenever something moves (Specifically, I'm guessing when the HD spins. Whenever I listen to music on Winamp, the screen...
