We have Comcast Cable internet on a secure network. Only the 4 computers in the house can be connected to it, via a password. When 3 of the 4 computers are turned on the connection is fine, however when 1 is turned on and connected the speed on all the other computers is lacking, a lot.The computer I use is the one with the modem. I think my roomate is purposely stealing optimium connection from the other computers. Is it possible for him to be doing this? And if so,…. Click Here to Read More

I have a number of simple questions about computers. I know enough about computers to use them, but with all the recent changes and upgrades, I’m hoping someone can tell me a little more. I am looking for a desktop computer that is a good brand name at a reasonable price (within the $500-$1200 range) that is compatible with the accessories sold at Wal-Mart (locally, Wal-Mart is the closest place to shop in my area, the nearest electronics store is two hours away). I would also like to know how much RAM and memory capacity I should be looking for in a computer where I would be installing a TV tuner to edit home movies and video clips, as well as several paint shop and word processing programs, but I don’t need any gaming capabilities since….

I have a couple of old computers (2 windows-based desktops and 2 Mac laptops) that I want to donate or recycle. In order to ensure that no personal information is left on them, how can I erase the hard drives? I understand that even if you delete certain files, there is a history of information left on the computer. I want to completely erase all files including the operating systems. Is there a way to do this using the operating systems on the computers? Do I need to purchase software? If so, what do you…. Click Here to Read More

I recently had to do a system restore on my laptop, basically deleting everything and re-installing the operating system. Since then, I have not been able to connect to the internet. After talking to a few technicians over the phone, I’m pretty sure my problem is that I’m missing the necessary driver for an internet connection. What driver do I need to install on my computer? And if you don’t think it’s a problem with the drivers, other theories would be appreciated as well. If it helps, my computer is a Gateway notebook, model…. Click Here to Read More

I have an old computer (almost ten years old) that has been sitting in the garage, and I want to take all the parts that I can and use them in my new computer. But what parts are worth taking. I am guessing the RAM is of minimal value, but the hard drive may be usable. Thanks for all your…. Click Here to Read More
My boyfriend looks at porn on my laptop. I told him I don’t want him to b/c I’ve heard a lot of it contains viruses. One computer I bought has already been destroyed. He continues to use my computer, even though I’ve repeatedly asked him not to. I’ve even jokingly (kind of seriously, though) asked if I could buy him some videos and magazines so he’d stop doing it on my computer. What else can I…. Click Here to Read More
