Well, I don't know if it's a front ear mike, or just an ear mike, but it's
coming from the front panel button. This front panel button is more like a
front panel presser is about the size of a rally button for the president.
This is a thick black cable that's connected to the ...

Just installed my first DVD +/- RW drive (Philips SPD6005BD) and am
encountering what I think are fairly standard DVD issues but I don't
know the answers.

This is follow on from a post of 16 June about KVM switches, XP and Vista.
I've set up a KVM switch (Aten) between a PC running XP and one with Vista
pre-installed.

I want to know if it is a problem to use a screwdriver that has been run
throught a magnet and now it's a magnetic screwdriver. An 8" #1 phillips

What could be wrong with that one PC? What should I look for and how can I
correct things?

I have another chance now to do it right. Newegg.com just sent me back my
mobo, I returned it and I hope now this mobo works right. I'm not sure if
this is a new mobo, but it's not wrapped in plastic, so I figure it's the

I suck at computers and need to update my driver. I have no idea what I
need to do. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm reading in this mobo user's manual that you can allocate some hard drive

SP1614C with a SATA connector. I found out later that it didn't have IDE
connectors, so I put it into a box and stacked it with other devices in the
closet. Well, I'm finally using it. The reason I'm ...

If an USB device is connected on boot, then the system reboots after the bios
(where the Windows progress bar usually shows).

can plug in the USB devices and they work fine.

The beginner's guide to a backup program for my Windows XP SP3 desktop
computer says to always connect the backup USB device directly to a port on
the back of the computer. It emphasizes "Do not use 2-4 port connectors." I
have a 7-port hub connected to one of the USB ports on ...
