1. Can you make a harddrive a slave drive without formatting it. Because i have a harddrive that doesn't want to boot up, and I need to get songs and movies off of it.


Yes, just change the jumper settings in the back of the hard drive.
 
I just DL'd Windows Media Player 11...does anyone know if you can still go into mini mode with WMP 11?? By mini mode i mean when you minimize you can still watch whatever on the bottom right screen in like a 1.5 inch window....

I have sort of a problem...

I recently upgraded windows to Media Center Edition. I didnt change anything else. But now, whenever I log in it always says my virtual memory is too low. I tried changing the paging file in the sytem options in control panel, but nothing changed. Then I tried to change what starts up in MSConfig, but I still have the same problem. I cant run any games or anything because it says not enough memory. Does anyone know how I can fix this problem?

^ If you use Firefox, just press Ctrl+U, and then Ctrl+F when the new window pops up to search. Then, just type .mp3 in the search box, and it should take you to a .mp3 file, which is most likely the song file you are looking for, just check the filename to make sure it is. If it isn't the right song, just click "Find Next", and keep doing that until you find the song that you want. After you've found the song, copy the url into your search bar and download it. There's probably a way to do it with IE too, but idk how.

^ set the jumper of the hard drive you are going to install to slave and connect it using the ide ribbon in your pc.

Not sure what you mean by not being able to download M$ word. There shouldn't be any problem with downloading and installing it. You can only get a trial for free.
You would actually have to pay for it(unless you got it illegally), to get the entire program.

I would suggest dowloading openoffice. It's free and imo works just as well. It has full compatibility with the .doc format.

You could also download the beta of office 2007. If I'm not mistaken I think it is a 10 month trial. You can find it on the M$ site. The only thing you need to get it is a hotmail or msn account. Hope this helps.

Everytime i try to download an Extension or Plugin for my Firefox a little bar at the top of the browser appears that reads: "Software installation is currently disabled. Click Edit Options... to enable it and try again." So, i click on Edit Options but i can't find what it's refering to. Can anyone help? Thanks


Go to tools>options> click on the content tab. There shuold be a check box that says to wrn you when sites try to install extensions, or something similar. You can either uncheck the box, or just add the sites that you want. I have the box checked, and then as exceptions, I have updates.mozilla.org and addons.mozilla.org. I haven't had any problems with it like this.

sole searchin,
To get that type of theme, the easiest way would be to get an app like windowblinds. The desktop you have pictured also has the objectdock. You don't need to delete you desktop, just right click in the middle of it and go to properties. On the first tab is where you choose your theme, and the second is where you choose your desktop wallpaper. You can download just about any image and use it for wallpaper.


mustbetheshoe58,
I don't know the address to netgear's web interface offhand, but if you go to the netgear site you should be able to find it. Or maybe call verizon, and they will tell you. It should be something like 192.168.1.1 (linksys) or 192.168.0.1.

westcoaststyle,
dvi is a digital input. The connector on the cable is different from a regular(vga) monitor cable. To use it you have to have a videocard and monitor that are capable of using it. If you don't you should be able to set you monnitor to use the vga input with thebuttons on the front.

Youngmoneychris,
That could be a lot of things. It may be the media you are using. Sometimes that can happen if you have the burn speed too high, or if you have too many other programs open and your proc is overtaxed. Then again, it might be none of those.

Shooter,
didn't you ask this the other day? Try increasing the size of your pagin file for a short term fix, but you need to get another stick of RAM, at least 512 if you are running XP.


These kicks kill,
I'm using the M$ wireless desktop 6000 right now, and I love it. In the past I have used an Alienware keyboard made by M$. If you aren't looking for the newest best one out there you can find a lot of good keyboards on ebay for cheap.

Rob, do those " Registry Cleaners " actually work? I know it helps clean up some of the files and other folders that are left behind when a program/app has been uninstalled.

If these are legit, any recommendations on what a good one is? Ive tried two but they just end up screwing up some of the other files I have on my comp.
[/b]​

I'm not for sure if they really work, but the legit ones will give you the option to make a back up of your registry so that if anything happens they can put the entries back. I have been using RegClean for years now. It was developed by Microsoft, but they don't support it anymore. It is free, easy to use, doesn't take a whole lot of resources, and makes an undo file if you need to put the entries back. You can download it Here

Is there a specific thing in your registry you are having trouble with, or just wondering? It's actually kind of funny that you ask, becasue I have been looking at a few different ones lately. The thing is that most of the trials are not fully functional, so you can't see if they really work like they say. If you don't like the way regclean works, then (cough) PM (Cough) I could probably help you find some other ones.

I only could fit one hard drive in my old dell 2400, i have a 40gb in it. I would like to get a newer one that is 200gb. My question is how do i do that, replace the 40gb to 200gb. I know i need to CLONE the 40gb to 200gb but there is only one connector for the dell, so i can't attach two harddrives to the dell, in order to clone it. i tired of burning dvd to free up my HD, Any help would be appreciated thank you.
