Computer question
When you are doing nothing at all with the computer but you see the processor and hard drive are getting a workout, how can you find out what is running and who is running it?

My ancient IBM Aptiva started running slower and slower, so I decided to reboot to clear all the garbage. I've done this many times without problems over the years. Admittedly, it is an old computer and I still use Windows 98. My problem is that it takes 30 minutes or so for the computer to run the System Memory Test and it never boots over to Windows no matter how long I leave it on. Cutting it off and restarting with the reboot disk doesn't work. I've pulled the memory chips and reinstalled them with no improvement. Any ideas? 0 -
What is better
2.66 GHZ pentium 4 processor
or
Celeron 2.6 GHZ processor
??????
The two systems I am looking at are basically the same except for this. Is one better than the other?

I have McAfee Antivirus Plus on my computer. Starting today I got popups popping up what seems like continuously, bout driving me nuts. The popups are titled Vista Antispyware 2012- unregistered version. If I click on McAfee it says "computer is secure, no action required". So whats going on. Speak slowly with small words as I am not real computer literate. Thanks. 0 -

Ive always wondered this. Is it better to shut your computer down at night when your not using it or just put it into standby mode. Im talking when you go to bed not just walking away for a couple hours and going back. Whats best for the computer or what do you guys do ?
Thanks.

First off, I am using Internet Explorer.
I have my homepage set to Yahoo.
In the yahoo search box, if I start to type it brings up a box of recent searches that are similar in spelling.
How do I reset or delete these recent searches? I have misspelled alot of what I search for, and it is more of a nuisance than a help to me.
Or even better, how do I turn off this feature?

The bearings are going bad on my laptop graphics card cooling fan so that it's making a really annoying buzzing sound.
How likely am I to burn up the graphics card if I run the computer without the fan for a couple weeks until a replacement arrives?
Thanks in advance0 -

I've got a PC with Rambus memory in it. What's on board is Rambus (RDRAM) 184 pin PC600 (400MHz) memory boards. I want to add memory. However, I cannot find PC600 boards to add, only PC800 (800MHz) RDRAM memory. Will the PC800 memory work?
I've talked to 4-5 different companies/people and gotten 4-5 different answers. What say you?

Alright, I've got a quick question for yall. My laptop, well, it's being a PITA. First off, the keyboard is ignoring many of the keys I hit. Here, let me type a sentence without goin back and fixing it. My keyboad is being gay nd it realy pisses me off I'm ired of it and i is eally annoying. I spelled that perfectly, taking my time, yet my keyboard ignored some letters. Also, when I use the touch pad, the cursor goes berserk. I can just touch the thing, and the cursor goes flying around the screen. So, right now, I'm stuck using a regular mouse in the USB drive, and spending more time fixing errors than I am typing. 0 -

computer question.
I have windows 7 pro and was wondering if you can repair a windows installition without loseing all of your data? Is it possible or do I have no choice but loseing all my data?0 -
I use Microsoft Office 2007 (Microsoft Word and Excel). When I installed Office 2007 I was using Microsoft Works 2000 (Word Processor and Spreadsheet). I didn't know if there would be a conflict between them so I cleaned out Microsoft Works before I installed Microsoft Office.
Now I have the same problem in reverse. I have some archived files that Office 2007 can't open because they are written in Works 2000.
If I install Works 2000 with Office 2007 installed will my computer explode or what?0 -
