Jess the mess asked:


I just upgraded my fiances computer with a new motherboard, RAM and CPU. We were previously having problems with his computer freezing so we did the upgrade. I installed everything and the computer turns on yet when I try to boot it off a CD the screen goes black after the screen that says “press any key to boot off disk” also the screen goes black after the start up screen. I would really appreciate some help. I don’t know where to go from here.

When I click on “My Computer”, the little flashlight goes back and forth searching and searching and finally after several minutes shows my drives. Sometimes, even then, it does not recognize portable storage devices connected to a USB port. This problem began several months ago, but before that, as soon as I double-clicked “My Computer”, the drive icons would show up. My computer is about 3 years old.

I have two computers: I call one the “good” computer — it has two monitors. The other is my “junk” computer with one screen where I download a lot of stuff to it.

If I wanted to continue using both computers but only with the dual monitors, what would I need to buy? Is there some sort of splitter I can buy that will allow me to switch between each CPU? Where can I buy one if it does in fact exist? Will I still be able to use one mouse and keyboard?

BIgVince asked:


The university that I currently attend offers Electrical and Computer Engineering and the programs are very similar except for a few different courses. I am in my sophomore year and I changed my major from computer science to EE. I was thinking I would Major in EE and minor in CS, but my advisor feels I should just major in Comp Engineering since I already have a little knowledge. However, the CE program is relatively new so it’s not accredited as of yet. I really changed my major because I didn’t want to limit myself to computers. But my advisor says the same jobs an EE can get a CE can get. How true is this? And what should I do major in Electrical Eng and Minor in Computer Science or should I just major in Comp. Eng.

The website, would have members, host audio and video files, make transactions, and probably more. Basically I want to learn how to construct a professional website in my garage, all the setups required, all knowledge that needs to be learned ect…. Where is a good place to start? I am already learning HTML and purchased Dreamweaver. I think I’m going to need to learn some computer programming languages as well. What are the popular programming languages that create small software applications for the web?? What knowledge needs to be learned to start up a computer server in your garage?? Please don’t respond with going to college and getting a degree, I know there is plenty of information on the internet and in books for the knowledge to be learned

~*Lyn*~ asked:


I do not want anyone on my computer while I am away and so I was wondering if there is a way to prevent my room mate from accessing my computer while I’m not there. I put a password on the accounts on the computer but I feel he might try something drastic, like rebooting the computer. Help? Thanks.

generalanticherub asked:


My laptop, windows XP, cannot connect to the internet through the LAN connection. However, my laptop could connect to the internet back in korea where I bought my computer. Also, the internet port is functional because my friends have used their computers on that port. My laptop can connect to wireless here, but just not the lan connection. Does anyone know what’s wrong with my computer?!

ChibiVidz asked:


I used to download the music/movies for my i-pod on a desktop at my house. Now I have moved out and use a completely different computer. If I try to download i-tunes from my new computer, won’t it erase everything I’ve previously downloaded? How do I keep this from happening? People don’t keep the same computer FOREVER.
