I am replacing a dead internal hard drive in my Emachines model #5010 computer. The only thing I know about the drive I have now is that its a IDE 200 gig. Can I just pick up any internal drive I see in the store? Also I have an Xp instalation disc that came with the computer. It says Emachines on the disc. Is this all I need to re-install the Operating System on the New drive? Any tips are appreciated.

I have Windows XP Pro on a Dell Dimension 8200. I have had in my possession a Via Video Desktop Conferencing set but was not able to install it until now because I previously had only a dial-up connection. Now I have FIOS. I have installed the hardware and software as instructed but I get a message “Failed to register COM objects.” I did find this URL: http://support.olisystems.com/TIPS/OLI-Tips38%20Re-register%20COM%20Objects.pdf which explains how to reregister COM objects in an OLI product (which is not my product). How do I go about solving MY registration problem? Is this a Windows question or a “Via Video” question? Thank you for any insight p…

My hard drive crashed and the repair people were able to save my data and programs. They reinstalled Windows XP using their own disc and registered to: is now User where before it was registered to me ie. Sally Jo. All programs work except a database I use which is locked, I think because the computor does not recognize User as having authorization to access the data base. Is there a way I can restore the original Registered to or a way I can open my data base? -- Chym

I have AT&T DSL and have gone to a wireless internet connection. AT&T sent me an e-mail offer to upgrade my account from a BASIC pack to PRO. Faster connections! OF course the cost is more. My question, since I am using wireless, do I need to upgrade or am I getting the fastest speeds already by using wireless? Thanks!

I having a problem with getting WindowsXP to play a certain wav file. When I goto "sounds and audio devices" and bring up the "properties" box then goto "sounds" I try to get "start Windows" to play a wav file with the opening theme from "Star Trek Next Generation" It loads and plays when I test it with the "play" button, but when I shut down windows and re-open it, the wav only plays for like 4 notes then stops...Windows goes on to load up without any problems.

Hi all, My PC is down. The symptom is, after the PC is powered on, the harddisk light is on and still but there is no monitor signal at all. It does not detect the processor and memory.

I have recently returned to using Outlook Express 6 after spending the past 3 months evaluating Thunderbird. A problem has arisen in deleting unwanted messages from OE. On about a third of all incoming messages I am unable to delete them after reading and no matter what I do in adjusting settings, I have failed to correct this. Have searched Microsoft’s help pages for a remedy without success. Any advice will be much appreciated.
