Hi, before I start i'm pretty much computer illiterate. I want to buy a new computer to replace my old one which I purchased from dell (uk dell). When i purchased my old one the dell site was alot simpler (less options to change when configuring the computer and less computers to choose from in the first place) and with a bit of help I managed to purchase one which i have been very happy with. I wish to purchase my next computer through dell again but now their seems to be lots of options and differences between computers and their set ups. For example what's the difference between duel-core and duel-processor, whats the difference between 32bits and 64bits......... etc…

Hi.... I'm new to this, and I have been having a problem trying to install ANYTHING. due to the problem with the "The call to loadlibrary failed with error 2". This started a few months ago, not sure why, and I tried to do a restore to an earlier date, only problem with that is, I tried to do the latter too late. (it only let me restore back to a certain date). I can't even use the Windows CD that came with my PC. I'm sure the problem is with the NTSD.exe program or possibly the Windows Installer..(?) I've tried different programs like "Systems Mechanics".... and such, plus I have the latest updates of my Virus scanner, so, I don't think its a virus..... Maybe miss…

I've been given a PC by some friends of mine and i wished to upgrade it, could anyone please give me some advice? The PC is a Compaq 510 small form factor (also known as D51S). The PC is a P4 1.8GHz with 256 mb RAM, i've checked the specification documents and apparently the PC can hold 2Gb of RAM in any variation (ie: 256 + 1024 chip would work). However the type of RAM is DDR2100, i've checked the crucial website to see what RAM they recommend for the PC and its something like DDR2100 and DDR2700 - but the higher spec will only run at DDR2100. It didnt mention the faster DDR3200 RAM. Rather then buy out of date RAM, i would rather buy the later DDR3200 incase i t…

Hi, I think after I loaded some new software my autoplay function for photos stopped working. So I right clicked on the drive and clicked on Autoplay tab. It said "Music Files" so I switched it to "Pictures", clicked "Prompt me..." and hit apply and OK. I put my SD card in and the autoplay didn't work. I went back to the SD drive and it said "Music Files". I have tried it numerous times even with restarting the computer, but after I switch it to "Pics" it somehow changes it back to "Music". Any suggestions?? Thanks.

I bring in my digital camera photos thru the MS Camera and Scanner Wizard. When I email a 0.7 MB jpeg photo from Outlook at the other end it breaks it up into 18 separate emails with photos (if email client is Yahoo email) or initially 18 emails if email client is Outlook express and then within 1 second the 18 emails are combined into one with the correct photo. How do I correct this behavior. BTW some option in the MS Camera and Scanner Wizard was set to make emailing photos easier and I suspect that is the problem. Mike
