I am looking at making a full upgrade. I want to get back into gaming like BF1 and do general web browsing. I also tend to keep my computer for several years, my current system is about 7 years old. I may do a little overclocking but nothing extreme. I am just running a 24" 1080p monitor...

You can try a program called File Scavenger. I have used this program with success in recovering files in the past.

No I have not enabled Guest accounts. Why would I need to do this? I have never had to do this in the past. Besides enabling guest accounts, is there anything else I would need to do related to the guest accounts?

I have a family member who is having trouble sharing a printer through their network. Here is the deal. There are three computers connected to the same network. Two laptops running Vista and one desktop running XP. The printer is connected to the desktop and prints fine. The desktop has the...

What kind of FPS are you getting? Thanks for the help.

I am thinking about getting BF3 and wanted to know what kind of settings I can run with my system in the sig. According to the recommended requirements, I pass on everything except the video card. How much will the video card hurt me? Also, can you buy a physical copy of BF3? Everywhere I...

I have found the song I was looking for. It is The Logical Song by Supertramp. I know it may sound crazy but it is not the whole song that sounds like Supertramp but just part of the chorus and how she says it.

This has been driving me nuts. Every time I hear the Criminal song by Britney Spears, part of it makes me think of a Stevie Nicks song but can't think of the name of it. Specifically the part that says "mama I'm in love with a criminal and this type of love isn't rational, its physical." Does...

When you bought the laptop, did it come with any disks?

My dad had some folders that were shared through our network. These folders are stored on the second hard drive. If I reinstall Windows 7, would it delete the folders that were shared? I just reinstalled Windows 7 with those folders shared and now it looks like they are not showing up in...

It turns out it was a driver issue. I uninstalled the driver like you mentioned and it did the trick. I have the x600 installed now and it does not flicker anymore during startup. Another thing that I am concerned about is it does not give me a beep code every time. 99 times out of a 100...

I guess I will reinstall the x600 and see if it goes back to normal. What is the best way to remove drivers? Should I remove the drivers with the card installed then shut down and install the other card? I would rather have the screen flicker a few times during startup with the x600 then have...

I got the bios updated and it didn't change anything. This is where it gets strange. I installed another video card(6800gs) and now the screen does not flicker on and off during startup anymore and the bios screen shows up to. But with the 6800gs installed, doing stuff in Windows is slower...

Ok that is good to hear. Does every setting need to be at the default setting? None of the overclock settings has been changed. Just stuff related to the devices and boot settings.

After I press the power button, it only takes a couple of seconds for post to come up, just estimating. I don't understand about the GFX fans. I thought the GFX fans spins at idle until Windws is loaded. On this machine, the video card does not have a fan but on my machine, I have the fan...
