Hey, my PC is P4 3.0 Ghz, 1 Gb RAM, though the RAM is shared: 128 MB is eaten by the onboard graphics card. Then how come others are able to run it, while I cannot?

Actually, I've already installed Vista 64, and it hangs up (keeps on processing) every few moments. Will switching to Vista 32 increase the performance at all? I thought 64 bit stuff was supposed to be faster.

Hey, what about static? I've heard you got to wear some static belt on the wrist or something before you touch the computer's inner parts. I opened my CPU, because the processor fan speed has increased - it keeps going up and coming down like its under heavy load even though there is no...

Alright, me's a very poor guy - haven't eaten for three days at a stretch (in a hotel), and me's got only one GB of RAM. So is it of any use to install Vista 64? Or XP 64?

Hi, At a friend's place in his university room, I had seen that the connection was limited in such a way that we could open any page we liked, but we could not freely download anything: we could not download .avi or .wmv or .mp3, etc, but the net worked smoothly. Now, I have a relative, a...

How exactly did you do it? Just make a data DVD, and dump all the photos in? How much time did it take? And is it better to burn the whole ~4.4 GBs at one go, or in sessions?

Hi, When we add images in Nero (I don't know about other apps), it takes a very long time, since there are a large number of files; with a video file, it doesn't take any time. Then, during the burn process also, it takes up more time. I have tried burning photos only once: I decided that...

After a reboot, I saw that the desktop was blank. I opened the task manager and saw that most of the processes had started, but explorer.exe had not, so I manually started it, but every time I start it, the desktop comes and then goes away after about seven to eight seconds. I have tried...

I changed the modem password some time back (earlier it was admin / admin). Suppose someone does get hold of your Internet username and password, does it mean that you've really had it? Because I've heard about something called portbinding, so that my internet connection can be used only from...

You said: "I also get this types of 'attacks' whenever I use my Vista with COMODO. They are not much of a concern unless u have a solid firewall." What's a solid firewall? I use ZoneAlarm, is it solid enough? The surprising thing is that this thing has started only after I changed that...

I have a Huawei SmartAX MT882 modem. I changed the mode of the modem today, so that while earlier when I switched on the modem, it would automatically connect to the net, now I have to manually type in the username and password in windows. I did this just today, and now I am facing a lot of...

Hi, Is it possible for broadband users to record telephone calls? My ISP is BSNL, modem is Huawei SmartAX MT 882. And yes, is there any download manager for free users of Rapidshare, which will increase (even slightly) the download speed? Thanx.

Hi, Since the past two days, and especially today, my modem has kept on restarting every few minutes. First, I am not sure if its a modem or a router, of whether they are both the same (I dont know much about these things). It is Huawei Smart AX MT 882. When I connect the modem, the second...

1. How did you detect this Vundo's presence? 2. Does not your BD security suite already have an integrated Firewall? I detected Vundo's presence because the Internet Explorer would start automatically (even though I use Firefox), and ZoneAlarm was giving messages of blocking the site...

I am running XP SP2, with BitDefender security v 10 Zone Alarm firewall Spyware Doctor Spybot Some time back I even tried DefenseWall HIPS. But still, last week, the Trojan.Vundo got into my compu... :(
