Why are computers very usefull to us?

Uses of computer %26 related resources. The influence of computers is universal. Computers are used in applications ranging from running a farm, diagnosing a disease, and designing to constructing and launching a space vehicle. Because the development of computers has been largely the work of scientists, it is natural that a large body of computer applications serves the scientist. To solve scientific problems researchers must deal with the language of science: mathematics. To understand more deeply complex natural phenomena, scientists must use complex mathematical relationships and volumes of data too impossible to manage without the aid of computers. Many scientific computer programs serve the entire population. The links included herein relate to computers and their uses.

Why are computers very usefull to us?computers

because this is an IT world
Look don't screw ur mind so much

computers are so useful simple example is , we two are communicating with each other . without computers it wouldn't have been possible
In my opinion a computer is very useful to all people. Computers control Satellites, Aeroplanes, Train reservation system, Bus reservation system, etc. A computer is one machine which we don't need to oil. We work on the computer for hours and hours and the computer will never get tired. A computer does not experience tiredness, fatigue, disease, sickness, jealousy, hatred, discrimination on any matter, aging, etc. A computer is very fast, reliable, accurate, precise, etc.
Hello Dear,

My computers d drive is missing/corrupt & my computer wont restore! PLEASE HELP!!?

Okay, so heres the deal. My computers like..screwed. The D drive mysteriously disappeared. It doesnt even show up on 'My Computer' however, when looking at my device manager, it recognises my D drives, but there is a yellow circle with an exclamation point inside it.(!)

Various programs on my computer are now showing issues, for example, windows media doesnt work, neither does the search feature on the my computer/control panel areas. etc.

Ive tried to restore my computer, however it wont allow me too. I tried restoring it through safe mode, the run command, control panel..everything. It simply wont open in safe mode what so ever..and it opens with the run/control panel approach, but the window stays white and blank..it wont load.

I cant use the system reboot disks, because obviously...my computer wont read the disks.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!TT^TT

Three of four computers can connect to the internet.?

I can't seem to resolve this issue. A cable modem is feeding into a DLink DI-614+. That is sent to two computers and a printer. These all get IP's and can share files, print etc. The fourth output is sent to a simple 4 way Hub's WAN/Uplink port. The hub then connects to two additional computers in an office located less than 100' feet from the router. The third computer receives an IP and can connect without issue. The fourth computer shows it is connected to the network, however receives no IP address or Internet. The settings seem to correct, they are the same on all computers, other than IP's obviously. These computers connect on their own fine. Additionally, when I plug a switch in before the router and hub, the router works and all computers on this router connect, but no computers work on the hub. Am I missing something? Is the simple hub acting perhaps, as a switch therefore not sending an IP to the fourth computer? I've looked for documentation for the hub online with no avail

Three of four computers can connect to the internet.?auto protect

I suspect your simple 4 way Hub is actually a router, since you describe connecting the WAN/Uplink port.

Another possibility is this is an exceptionally cheap hub that has five ports, but only four can be used.

I had previous experience with a similar cheap piece of s**t. In this case, the WAN/Uplink port (let's say port 1) is actually wired in common with the adjacent port (call it port 2). If you are connecting to another switch/hub, use the WAN/Uplink port and skip port 2. If you are setting up a standalone workgroup like a LAN party, skip port 1 and use the other four ports to the right. So in one configuration you can use ports 1,3,4,5. In the second configuration you can use ports 2,3,4,5. If you have ports 1 and 2 both connected to live devices, connectivity goes to hell if when devices on ports 1 and 2 go active at the same time.

Can two computers connected to the same internet source view the same content?

If there is a computer upstairs on the internet, using a dial-up connection and a computer downstairs with the same dial-up connection, can one computer surf the internet and the other computer view the same content? The same question applies to broadband service.

In other words, the computer upstairs is on dial up. The line downstairs sounds like all that modem-popping, internet-surfing stuff. If I turn on the computer downstairs and plug in the phone line, can I view the same pages downstairs, download same songs downstairs,...etc while the computer upstairs is doing it? Without physically connecting the two computers or using routers or such. Just through the internet connection.

If you've got some form on internet sharing set up, or two telephone lines then "yes".

Broadband is totally different as the broadband modem/router usually comes with multiple ports.

Computer geeks, What piece of equipment is necessary to network computers together for a large corpo

I have an assignment for school to explain basic computer terms to a CEO of a fictitious small rural hospital, and recommend a system for the hospital In my paper I have made the point that we should network our computers to a bigger hospital, since our small hospital does not have the space or resources to house data storage. What piece of equipment do I suggest in my paper that would allow our computers to network to the bigger hospital's? I have come across networking switches, but do we need a networking switch on every computer that we want to network? My professor suggested a dumb terminal, but I don't know which computers would be dumb and which ones wouldn't. HELP!?

Computer geeks, What piece of equipment is necessary to network computers together for a large corporation?bmw

For your problem dumb terminals are, quite frankly, a dumb idea.

What you need is a router. Preferably one designed to host a "router to router" VPN (virtual private network). You cable your local computers to the router (add a switch only if the router doesn't have enough ports to cable all your computers). The router connects through the internet to a router at the larger hospital, which has a server, data storage and all the other "bells and whistles".

The VPN creates a "virtual" network, linking all your computers to those at the bigger hospital. The computers at either end of the VPN literally can't tell whether they're in the next room, or across the country. As far as the computers are concerned, they're all right next door to each other.

Computers shutting down all the time...Please help!!?

Okay I asked a question like this before, and checked it out and here are some possible reasons why my computer migt be shutting down but if you could help that be good :

-I go on myspace....all the time

-Computers kinda of old i think 1995-2000 or something

-I have 3 dogs, german shepards they shed alot

-I have Norton anti-virus on my computer

-I checked the fans, they are dusty, and the bottom fan works but the top fan does not, only twitches a little bit [how can I clean them?]

-I use to leave my computer on all the time and it would get hot but I dont anymore

Thats pretty much all I can think of. My computer does not shut down when I am not on it, only when iam on it. It does not rebute, I have to do that, but I have to wait about 15 minutes to do so. Please help!

Computers shutting down all the time...Please help!!?cafe racer

It's still getting hot.

Three dogs if your pc is low to the ground get it setting higher. You can buy compressed air cans at walmart and like stores for a couple of bucks that will clean out your computer good. norton is the worst anti-virus I kept getting viruses with it. I have a couple of links for you for free anti-virus and free anti spyware. If you are not using anti spyware you should be. After you clean out your pc see if the top fan starts working if not you need to replace it. Other than that if your not to keen on computers you may need more help, could be hard or software problem. Hope this helps.
bring it to a pc shop or to someone who know how to clean pcs and let him clean it up for you.

How do I network 2 home computers & 2 identical hp psc printers, each printer to print from its

I am adding my daughter's computer and printer to her bedroom. I installed a router and cable connecting from my cable modem to both of our computers and have operational e-mail and internet access. My computer prints, as usual, from my computer on my hp psc 1200 series printer. My daughter has a Dell computer and also a hp psc 1200 series printer. Her printer works fine for copies and when I first installed it, also printed from her computer. Now I can't make either printer work from her computer. I've checked the USB connection from the printer to her computer and it seems to be OK. In the Control Panel/Printer %26 Fax list, my comuter shows my hp psc 1200 series printer and also an Auto hp psc 1200 series on CINDY-A4CO4MMAO, which I think is the number of her computer. That option doesn't appear on her list of printers. I think I need guidance. I am a 79 year old lady who is reasonably good with my computer but not knowldgable about hardware or networks. Thanks for any help.

How do I network 2 home computers %26 2 identical hp psc printers, each printer to print from its own computer?computer security

Well try uninstalling both printers from both computers, then reinstalll them again and see if they work....that should fix the problem, before you reinstall the printers make sure that you unplug them while they are turned on and leave them unpluged for a couple of seconds, that way the printers reset themselves, When you reinstall each printer, reinstall them one at a time. That should fix the problem.

Sharing between two computers.. please help me?

There are two computers in my home network. They were shared previously. And due to some reasons I had to reinstall windows. Now, there is sharing no more. I had tried a lot since last 2 weeks to get out of this problem but failed!!! They do not ping each other. However, we can say they are connected because whenever one computer is booted the other one senses it and notifies that the next computer is either opened or closed. But there is no connection as both the computers do not show each other.

The next problem is that, whenever the two computers are plugged in.. both had the restarting problem of the same kind and also started parallely. For the time being, I have unplugged the sharing cord from one of the computers. And there is no restarting of computers since then.

For not pinging problem I also formatted the next computer. For checking whether it was due to the firewalls or any other factors to block the sharing connection.

please help me out of this problem

Sharing between two computers.. please help me?computer virus

1)I would check the loopback to see if the NIC is working properly. ping 127.0.0.1 on both PC's. If not reload your card drivers. You can get them from the manufacturers website usually

2) Assuming they are running XP, go to the control panel and make sure the firewall is off.

3) While in control panel, make sure you have the Network Connections configured properly--both cards need to have IP installed, both need to be on the same subnet and mask--i.e., IP 192.168.1.2 and the other PC is 192.168.1.3 and they both are on subnet of 255.255.255.0. Type IPCONFIG at a command prompt to verify this.

Computers/passwords? no its a bit long but please help!!!?

i have been trying to set up a router on my computer so i can use the internet on another computer in another room. when trying to set up a connection on both the computers, it said i needed to insert a windows XP cd disk. when i did this and altered some settings it advised me to restart the PC, which i did. however when trying to log back into the computer it says that a password is needed. we only had a username and no password. i did not make any changes to our account or password/username settings

so i was wondering if anyone knows how to figure out this password so i can get onto my computer!

please help no jokes got really important work on it!!

Computers/passwords? no its a bit long but please help!!!?computer

OK, Ma'am, I'm guessing that you're panicking because you see a "password" that's a long string of dots/asterisks, am I right?

Well, you don't need to panic, because, that's just a cover to mask the possible password. If you didn't have any password there in the original, it doesn't have any there, either.

So, all you need to do is click on the "Start" or "Go" or whatever button and Hey, presto!

Hope that helped.

All the best.

1) modern computers remain eletrical in that the "1's" and "0's" interpreted by each individual transistor pass through on an electrical stream. the values from transistors is then inturpreted into whatever value, symbol, function is coded for in the stream. Periphrials would be avenues for that electrical information to be intureted (that would be your monitor, printer, mp3 player, etc)

Computer Microphone (Headset) Will Not Function Properly but Works On Other Computers?

Since my computer headset with microphone works with other computers but not mine, I'm assuming that it's my computer that's the problem.

Before any of you tell me to open up my volume control, here is what I've tried.

I've opened volume control and no, "Microphone" is not muted.

I've gone to Options%26gt;Properties then clicked on the "Recording" tab and "Microphone" is checked and selected on "Recording Control" so that isn't the problem.

"Device Manager" has no problems with it.

I can hear perfectly fine with my headset but trying to talk through my microphone is almost impossible.

The only possible way that I can hear myself is if I scream as hard as I can and it still sounds far away (I tested this with Windows Sound Recorder and Ventrilo).

Is there any other solution?

(Buying another mic is really unnecessary as other working microphones will not work on this computer either)

Hi. There could be a number of issues as to why your microphone is not working. Here are some things to consider (starting with simple things that are commonly overlooked):

- Turn off your computer completely, and restart after 30 seconds or so. Sometimes drivers will have a problem and wont restart. Restarting solves a number of issues with Windows. When I worked for SBC Global, it was the first thing we had the user do for all tech support issues.

Old computers for server/super computer...?

I have a laptop and several old desktop computers, and I want to combine the processing power of all the computers into my laptop. I don't know if what I want is even possible, although I would imagine it is. What I want to do is have an OS on my laptop that allows me to use all the software I have, or atleast most of it, if that is not possible then I need to find good replacements for that softwatre to use on the new OS. I want my laptop to them seamlessly split the work load between the other computers, so that I can accomplish tasks much faster, such as rendering video and such. Basically, I don't want 4-5 networked computers, that I can only individually control. I want 4-5 networked computers working together as one, sharing hardware seamlessly without the need for me to write my own programs to accomplish tasks such as video editing.

Please don't just answer by simply telling me "linux", because that does me no good. I need to know which version of Linux...details please.

Old computers for server/super computer...?downloads

If they already are networked, you can control each one from one computer using Symantec pcAnywhere. It's complete remote control. As for using the collective power of the processors, you'd need to daisy chain the mother boards in some sort of Beowulf system, but then you still want to use the software on the other computers, so that won't help.

Allowing 2 computers to connect?

hi im trying to send stuff onto my friends computer, the stuff is around 8 gigs total and it would be easiest and simplist to connect the computers together. HOWEVER: whenever i connect the two computers together and type in my friend computers name it asks me for a password for the "guest account". My friend and i both have our guest accounts turned off, and its asking for a password. After trying all the passwords i could think of, it still wouldnt let us on. Then i tried turning on both of the guest accounts and it still didnt work. The computers are succefully talking with each other, Everythings fine, i did this with my dads computer and it didnt ask for a password. So how can i get into the shared documents on my friends computer through mine? all answers will be accept. PLZ AND THANK YOU FOR THE HELP!!!

Allowing 2 computers to connect?ducati

If you have another account setup on the computer try to change the "guest" account login to a different login and use the correct password for this account.

Allowing 2 computers to connect?hp

try using .. admin or administrator for the password

next try setting up a new network account between the two computers give it a name and set the folders to share or save the file to a cd and copy it to the other computer..

If possible use a rewritable cd then it can be used again.. over and over.. you will need to have the right cd burner software to format the cd to a rewritable format
its extremely difficult to link computers like your talking about doing... it would probably b easier for you to just get a flash drive save everything o nyour computer on it then transfer it to her computer
Download Filezilla - both the server and the client. Run the server on one computer and the client on the other computer. Use the client to connect to the server. Then upload or download (depending on which you installed on what) the files.

Hacking Library Computers?

Ok, so I'm at the library but I can't get any sound because right clicking has been disabled, which means I can't change the sound (I have headphones I want to use for Youtube). I opened the task manager using Crtl+Alt+Delete and clicked the processes tab. There, I found the process "PCcopclient." I googled PC Cop Client and found out that is was the software used to limit usage on library computers. What I want to know is this:

If I end this process, will my computer time be unlimited and will right clicking be enabled again allowing me to change the volume? Or will the computer crash and bring attention to me for being the only disconnected computer thus having me banned from the library computers? I have my own computer, but it would be nice to be able to use the library computer for other things besides browsing the internet.

Hacking Library Computers?firewall

Ask the librarian if sound has been disabled on the computers. Perhaps there are certain computers that have sound and others that don't (that's the way it is in my library; I have no idea why; take it up with IT :-) ). If so, the librarian can direct you to those computers.

If sound is disallowed, you can explain to the librarian what you want to do. I would think either s/he will try to help you or explain to you why sound is not allowed with headphones.

I wouldn't suggest ending any process on the computer. It's not *your* computer, it belongs to the library, and any changes you make have the potential to harm the computer.

You may not have administrative rights on your computer. Make sure that the account you are logged onto is one that has admin rights (check under Users in the Control Panel). I don't know what you are talking about with the computer icons. It could just mean that you are connected to a LAN network and you weren't before (because that is what that icon looks like). What are the icons for? Right click and see. Rest easy though. The likelihood of your computer being connected to another very improbable. See if you can log on to your Administrator account....
Yes, they can but in your instance I'd say this isn't they case. No, the person who knows the administrator password isn't your administrator... unless you are paying them to be one. You can change or clear the administrator password in just a few seconds using Linux:

Two computers, XP, How to get all of the favorites into one or both computers?

This is about what I want to do...if I can.

Take all of the bookmarked websites that I have from my home and laptop computers and update them. Get them all on one computer to where I can see them all. Get rid of the ones I do not use. Organize the ones that I do use in a system that resembles a filing system as opposed to something that looks like someone with A.D.D has been let loose on my computers!

I would like to put the updated version of my filing system/bookmarked sites at that time on each computer.

Then after completion of this I would like to have the ability to automatically forward any website I bookmark to the other computer that I am not currently working on.

I imagine that you will answer with, "network them." I don't want to do anything that will cost me a bundle but, will make networking them the goal if need be.

Your computers are not going to be "hacked" with WPA2 security. And as long as you have a good antivirus program, a virus is not going to get past the router, so you can relax.

Monitor repair up to 17" $79. 19" are $89

Of all components, monitors are cheap. 19" LCDs are under $200. And our at least 5 year old 15" original LCD is still working???

So if you are not using an LCD, move to it. You may want to look into an Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS). There's a good chance your power to the monitor is not stable, causing the early demise. If you have it plugged into the PC, get a different power cord.

TRY IT!!!!

go to a specialized school only for computers. not a regular four year school where u will have to take history and math and all that other stuff. specialize in classes that only are computers. and i cant see where it would be very difficult math, if any

u can do anything u put ur mind to

good luck

I love computers I know alot about computers but...?liveupdate

If you go to a 4-year university and major in computer science, you're going to have to take a lot of math. No way around it.

Let me recommend that you consider a 2-year technical school or community college. The future job market in computing looks promising for grads of that type program. Math will still be involved, but not as much.
If you really want to make money in the computer field, you have to know the technology from the bottom up, and unfortunately, this involves math.
30 or 50 years , DESIGNING computers required a lot of math.

computer science was taught in math departments. but that is not really where we are anymore.

Go ahead and make it your major. there are lots of job options in the computer industry, just as there are options in computer majors.

Will DNA computers change the worlds as we know it?

Did you know sceintist are currently working to construct the worlds first DNA computers. Thats right Bio-technology and yes human DNA from your blood. Right now manufactures are racing to produce the next smallest-fasterst-microprocessor.

Silicone based computers will eventually meets its limits of speed. So we are going to use the DNA our genes can perform more calculations and store more data than any computer ever built. ONE POUND of DNA has the compacity to store more information than all the compters ever built on Earth! WOW! Forget the "Thing" we are using right now it sucks!Contrary to popular belief we wont build better computers we will build Different computers...Maybe the genes DNA can mutate when acted upon by an outside force like "Natural selection" to evolve? Hey maybe DNA computers is the real "Artifical Intelligence" that will take over mankind...wooahh spooky. Maybe DNA computers can manipulate genes inside of test tubes to create

Super-Humans...whoa imagine

Computers and the Ergonomics of it. (Read this)?

What are the importances of ergonomics in computers? What are some ways ergonomics can be imposed in computers making people more comfortable while using their computers? What are some types of injuries related to the computer when egronomics are not concerned...what are the solutions?

If I wanted to make a new style of computer equipment such as headphones, keyboards, mice...what feature would you like on it that would make it more egronomical and more comfortable to you?

Computers and the Ergonomics of it. (Read this)?house call

How about a mouse with a wireless phone A keyboard that connects to the mouse that keys in as voice activation .Also plug the headset in to the keyboard .The headset should have visual lenses ,that display the screen before it is placed on the comp to print or delete or edit . you think

Computers and the Ergonomics of it. (Read this)?matchless

Ergonomics plays a vital role in computing today. Does you back hurt after sitting at the computer, how about your shoulders or neck? These are things that basic ergonomics can address.

As for ergonomic designs, a negative tilt (tilt from front back) keyboard would be ideal for wrist position. A verticle mouse, preferably moved by the shoulder is also a good idea. For the monitor, as long as the monitor is even with your eyes, you wont strain your neck reading it.

Three computers broke...any1 know why?

The symptoms:

At first one of the computers would just shut off inexplicably... but it was only once every couple of months or so; so it was no big deal. Then the second computer started doing the same. Eventually the first computer would shut down monthly then weekly then daily, until eventually it would shut itself down every 5 minutes or so.

The second computer followed suit until they were both unuseable. I replaced those 2 computers and the 3rd computer seemed to be doing fine... Until after about a month, it started doing the same thing... so now I have replaced it as well.

It is now to the point that they will turn on, but not boot up... In other words, the front power light will light up but the screen will be black.

Three computers broke...any1 know why?hp

Sounds like your computers are getting power surges and slowly it has been frying your computers mobo. If you have them plugged into a surge protector then the computers could just be getting old or they are just experiencing overheating.

Three computers broke...any1 know why?mcaffee

ok first are these custom built computer from same place if so it sounds like the forgot the heat dispalcement compond between the prossor and the heatsink tcheck that out now if store bought (walmart ect) then they have a 1 year warenty if you are buying used machines then they may need to be blowen out from dust and dirt build up before being used but in any case it sounds like a overheating problem to me
I agree with the third reply - looks like overheating to me. Check and replace the CPU cooler. Make sure you put thermal transfer paste between the processor and the cooler. Make sure the computer has a decent fan at the back to expel hot air. If necessary, run the computer with the cover off the side - I do this as it overheats with the cover on when I run certain games!

Quantum Computers?

If anyone has information about quantum computers, i would love to have some brief education about them. I know answering these questions will be hard since quantum computing is still supposedly in its infancy.

1) What do they do/what are they used for?

2) What do they look like?

3) What are some known organizations that have them?

4) How are they built/how do they work?

5) What's the advantage to using quantum computers rather than regular silicon based computers?

6)Positive effects of quantum computers?

7) Negative effects of quantum computers?

8) Any other information you have about quantum computers and would like to share.

Quantum Computers?husqvarna

-these computer can complete (theoricaly) millions of calculations at once, no step by step, like von newman computing machines, they CAN be used to solve encrypted code that would take years to solve in some very short time

they are based in the fact that qubits can achieve more than two states, four actually, maybe more later (up, down, superposed up-down, entangled up-down)

they can also be read in line. suppose a quantum machine of 500 qubits, a foton can read all of them in line, for a computing power of 2^500, 3^500, 4^500 bits per read

added that their clock can go faster than actual computers, due to they don't have demagnetizing period

Try that.
Cable internet puts everyone on the same connection, that's why it slows down when lots of people are using your section. You need to have password protection on your network and a firewall, just like a wireless.

Manufacturing Computers- Algebra 1 Level Problem?

You are selling two types of computers, Model A and Model B. Model A takes 12 hours to assemble and 10 min. to inspect, while Model B takes 6 hours to assemble and 30 min. to inspect. Model A's profit for each computer sold is $360, while Model B's profit is $216. An assembler works for 36 hours and is paid $900 each week, while an inspector works for 35 hours and is paid $1080 each week. If the total number of computers you can manufacture is 360 and all computers are sold, how many of each type of computer should you make to get the maximum profit?

Any help is appreciated, but please show your work. Thanks!

Manufacturing Computers- Algebra 1 Level Problem?internet security

You have to write inequalities for each sentence using two variables, say x for number of model A's made, and y for number of model B's made. Then graph and shade the inequalities, and find the coordinates of the vertices of the shaded region. Finally plug these into the profit formula to see which ones make the highest profit.

Here the profit is P = 360x + 216y

The inequalities would be

x鈮?

y鈮?

x+y鈮?60

There is a problem with how this question is written though because if the $360 and $216 are truly profits then it wouldn't matter how much the employees were paid since the cost of employment is already subtracted from revenue to get profit. So right now it's unanswerable.

Windows XP computer loses sight of other computers on network?

I have a XP Professional computer on a home network with three XP Home Ed. computers. I am using a Linksys router. I am losing access to the shared folders on the network on my XP pro computer. This loss occurs intermittently, working some days and stopping on others with no system changes on my part. The other computers on the network can still see and access each other (including the problem PC). There is never any loss of internet access. I am the only one who uses the computer.

Windows XP computer loses sight of other computers on network?internet

When this occurs, check the event log on the pro machine and see if anything is failing. Also, when this happens, are you able to access the shares from the same machine? Also, check yuor services are not going up and down, especially NetLogon service, it should be set to "Automatic". If it is on manual, it will only be up when needed. So if the machine sits for a while, it will shut off, and when you try to access a share to the machine from another machine, it may not start up immediately. Make sure it is running all the time. Also make sure your Pro machine is not falling alseep.

Hrm, you could get a serial switch box for the monitors and change video settings if you wanted to alternate between the two "on the fly" but I don't believe that would be all that "quick" probably 1-2 mins to convert things if you know exactly where you're going.

Is it ok to switch my computers video cards?

Ok, i have two computers, one for gaming, one for my family. The new computer i bought is for the family and has a NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE Graphics video card. It has built in Windows Vista Home Premium which sucks because none of the games work on it but they do work on the old one computer. The old computer can run the games but the framerates per second are horrible and the games are very slow. The old computer has an Intel(R) 828245 G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics controller. Now I am wondering if i can take the NVIDIA card out of the new computer and the other graphic controller out of the old computer, put the NVIDIA card into the old gaming computer and the old graphics controller into the new computer. Will this work for both computers and will my gaming experience be better with the better video card? Please answer. Thanks.

Is it ok to switch my computers video cards?live update

It depends.

The newer computer might have a PCI Express video card slot, while the old one might be AGP based. If the older computer is more than a couple years old, that's likely to be the case. If you bought it in 2007 or 2008, you'll have better luck.

If they're both PCI Express, you should be able to do what you want. The only question is if there are Vista drivers for the Intel card.

No. they are both integrated chipsets. You cant remove them as they are built into the motherboard..

If two computers are on the same network can they still spread viruses if they are never online toge

I just asked this question but I rushed it and forgot to include some key details.

I will have two computers connected to the same router(same wireless network?)Both computers have file sharing disabled and remote access disabled. One has a virus and one is completely clean. If both computers are never online at the same time can the virus infested computer infect the clean computer? I understand how it could on a LAN but is this still the same concept even though it is connected through a router with no files shared on either computer? Please explain either way. Thanks a lot. Sorry for the duplicate question!!

I can't help but to disagree with cel. I kind of have the same problem at home. One of my computers has a virus and the other one is clean, also i have exactly the same setup up you do. The computers cannot spread the virus to one another even though they are connected to the same router. the only way a virus can be spread would be if any files were shared between the two computers.

People rip themselves off buying computers retail?

This is really bothering me. People are getting ripped off because they buy new computers out of the store. Even worse, they look for ones that are less than $1000 which are computers that are already obsolete. Stop buying computers out of the store people! You're going to end up having to buy another one a year later. If you build your own computer, you could spend $1000 and have a computer that will last you years. There are a lot of people who build computers too if you don't know how. STOP RIPPING YOURSELVES OFF!

I've been working with computers for over 10 years. Anyone who knows anything about computers will tell you the same. Build your own. Don't buy computers that have generic parts installed.

People rip themselves off buying computers retail?mcaffee

I got a best answer on one question where I extolled the virtues of a White box.

Values of a White box include.

You KNOW your computer. Easy to fix usually if something goes wrong.

Cases are more user friendly, especially if you intentionally buy one that is roomy. Hate working on propriatory boxes. No room to get my hands in there. Sometimes have to take half the computer apart just to add RAM. Most White boxes you can reach everything without taking anything apart.

You KNOW your getting the best quality components because you choose what you put in the box. For years the ONLY HD that went into my computers was Western Digital. Now that Seagate has bought them out there isn't a really good brand. I'll prob go with Maxtor's and Fujitsus. Seagates are cr@p. Always have been.

That's great that you want to start a computer repair business. It could be very lucrative.

I have a couple of ideas to where you could start looking. These websites have directories of manufacturers and wholesalers.

www.alibaba.com

What you need to know: Not much personal experience with this website but I do know about it. Deals mostly with international suppliers.

www.thomasnet.com

What you need to know: I have searched their website for things that I am interested in - not necessarily computer parts. This site is primarily U.S. based suppliers (if I remember correctly)

These are a couple of great places to start searching online. Then you can go from there. I would also recommend going to some trade shows or expos having to do with electronics or computers and start networking with manufacturers that are going to be exhibiting there.

Connecting 5 computers through 2 routers?

I have 5 computers connected through 2 routers. The first router is also a modem and it is giving out 10.1.10.* ip addresses using DHCP. The first modem/router also has 3 computers connected to it. The 4th port is being used to connect to the second router that is giving out 192.168.2.* ip addressing. Sitting behind both routers (192.*.*.* range), I can PING and access both routers. Also behind both routers I can PING all the computers. If I am on the 10.*.*.* range I cannot ping the 192.*.*.* range. I also put each computer under the same workgroup. Both workgroups on each router can't see each other. I can get on the internet on all 5 computers. All I really want to do is set up shares on each computer and be able to access each. If anybody can help me PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Connecting 5 computers through 2 routers?microsoft

you don't need two routers, you need a switch and a router. the way you have this set up, you have set up two separate, private networks, and i don't think that's what you need, from what you have said.

if you got yourself a multiport switch, and plugged your computers into it, you would have a single segment, and everything on your network would have 10.1 address, and you would be able to ping, and connect.

i have done this on many occasions when i needed to set up workrooms at conferences. it works very well.

How to convert 'computer name' into IP address on home network of XP computers?

How do I use the 'computer name' of a computer on my home network of XP Pro computers to lookup the ip address of that computer remotely?

I have a home network with 3 XP Pro computers. One has no monitor and is only accessible via IP address using RealVNC. The IP address recently changed, and for some reason it doesn't show up on my router's DHCP table. I can browse to the computer via 'my network' and I can print to the attached printer. I want to look up it's new IP address so that I can connect with RealVNC

Thanks.

How to convert 'computer name' into IP address on home network of XP computers?moto guzzi

If you know the host name for the computer, you can ping the host name directly which resolves the IP address to the Dynamic DNS tables in your XP configuration.

You would do this from the command prompt:

Start %26gt; Run %26gt; cmd

for a host name of "laptop" you would simply type:

ping laptop

Once you type in the ping command and the IP address is resolved, the output from the command should look something like this example:

Pinging laptop [192.168.0.102] with 32 bytes of data:

The IP address for the host would be in the brackets. This will take the guess work out of it as opposed to pinging a range of IP addresses.

Also, provided Dynamic DNS is working properly, you may be able to enter the host name into the Connect prompt in RealVNC. I use WinVNC so I'm not familiar with the RealVNC interface, but try it out and see if that works. It does work using the host name in WinVNC. In large enterprise level environments, DHCP is used with hundreds of IP's in the address pool, and the developers for the VNC programs realize this. I would be surprised if RealVNC doesn't support using host names in addition to IP addresses.

Starting computers with no OS?

Imagine you have a network with a number of computers and a server. However, all these computers have only blank hard disks in them and no OS. Only the server has OS.

Can we use the OS in the server to power up all the computers in the network in one go? That is, can we use the server to start all the computers in the network?

After that, each computer can work on its own, just like an ordinary PC with Windows OS.

Starting computers with no OS?network

it looks like you are thinking of what is called "network booting".

assuming you have the correct number of legal licenses. it is very easy and definitely doable with linux or mac os x.

to do this with windows is possible, but requires a bit more of know how. there are some tools that help with this (like http://www.shareup.com/Network_Boot_Tool... but it is more difficult.

What you can do is potentially fire-up a VM (virtual machine) image onto each of the harddrives of the client machines. If they are running something like VMWare workstation, or some version of Xen, they might be able to boot a VM image from the network and do exactly what you want.

That is probably what I would do, its probably easier.

Here are the specs: 1-2GB RAM, 320-500GB HD, GeForce 8500GT or ATI HD 2600 w/ HDMI output, AMD Athlon FX or Intel Core 2. The case is designed as a slim case to fit in with your home theater setup and it is designed to be connected to your TV or HDTV using component cables or an HDMI cable. It also will have a built in 2.4Ghz sensor for a wireless mouse and keyboard to it so that you can still use it for its computer functionality(i.e: Internet, Productivity,etc) Think of it as a computer that doubles as a gaming console.

It will run a highly modified version of Windows XP MCE or a highly modified version of Vista Basic(for DX10 support) so that it can be controlled with the included XBox 360 wired controller and will run games with little start time from the OS and computer.

What would you suggest, what is a cool name for it, and would you or someone you know buy it?

Are computers smarter?

As the computer is able to perform more, the user is required to understand less. So the question is are computers smarter than humans? I know it takes a person to program and design the computer/programs, but the % of those who create the softwares and those who simply use the computers differs greatly.... what do you think? are computers smarter than you average person?

Are computers smarter?nortan

I would have to say it depends on what you mean by "smarter". You can put a lot of information into a computer to make it do things, but I do not think a computer really has "intelligence" in the true sense of the word. The computer just has information, and what it does with that information follows a fixed set of rules. Computers can be given information which programs them to appear "intelligent", but even this is not really "intelligence" but only a set of information that mimics it.

So, I would say that computers probably hold a lot more information than your average person, but as far as intelligence goes, we do have them beat.

Are computers smarter?noton

I don't think they can really analyze things in depth or do Philosophy or Psychology They are great at math though %26 pure logic It would depend on the average person IQ well below normal or normal What do people consider normal? Try Psychology with this I'm getting into a mess cause I can't define average
Computers don't relay abstract thought. They're just 'bots' full of information that takes a human being to manipulate. If they thought for themselves (or us), then they could be classified as "Smart".
no, the computers are machine.
They can't be creative yet.
Define smart. If smart is simply algorithms bundled together to get an answer, then a computer is smarter than a human. They have beaten grand master chess players for cripes sake.

Should computers be left on ?

Should current computer model laptops be powered on 24/7 -- assuming you have screensavers, stand-by settings, etc. Is it good to leave your computer on 24/7. A few years ago I was told it is not good to turn off your computer because powering it on-off is bad for power supply or motherboard, or some device within the computer.

Is this still the case with newer models of laptops and computers?

Should computers be left on ?norten

Laptops should not be left on...... but desktop computers can be.

The main difference is how each cools itself off... desktops use ambient airflow as opposed to laptops that use airflow and an interior gel/foam material as well. Laptops CAN be left on, but eventually that gel/foam material will solidify and the heat transfer will be less effective.

Heat is bad.......... for computers it slows them down if it gets too high. Laptops whose gel has solidified run slower because they cant dissipate the heat any more.

Should computers be left on ?panda

THIS IS DEBATE IS FROM BACK IN THE ICE AGE OF COMPUTERS....BACK WHEN PEOPLE WERE TOLD TO USE SCREEN SAVERS BECAUSE THE COLORS WOULD BURN INTO THE SCREEN...

IT DOESNT MATTER - THERE IS NO CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE EITHER WAY - LEAVE IT ON IF YA WANT - OR TURN IT OFF - IT DOESNT MATTER AT IDLE THEY DONT TAKE MUCH MORE POWER THAN A CEILING FAN - AND WHEN THEY BOOT UP , UNLESS YOU HAVE A MONSTER SYSTEM , WHICH IM SURE YOU DONT, THEY DONT SURGE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF POWER THROUGH THE BOARDS - SO JUST DO WHATEVER - ANYONE TELLING YOU DIFFERENTLY IS WRONG.
Depends leave them on 24/7 ONLY IF YOU REMOVE THE BATTERY.

DO NOT LEAVE THEM ON FOR LONG ON THE AC POWER, WHEN THE BATTERY IS STILL IN IT.

Are computers ever going to be more intellligent then humans?norton 2008

chris h demonstrates the standard misconceptions about machine capabilities. The whole point of a machine (*any* machine) is to perform tasks that you cannot do yourself, or at least not as efficiently. For computers, that means tasks traditionally associated with human thought, be it simple arithmatic or more abstract problem solving requiring superior intelligence. The point at which you choose to call it "intelligent" is largely arbitrary. If a robot could go grocery shopping for its owner using only a list of general preferences, is that intelligent? Maybe. How about if it could design and build an improved version of itself? Definitely.

Multiple computers with wireless mice?

I'm currently using logitech wireless (RF) mice at a desk with mutiple computers within 5-6 feet of each other. The problem is, moving any one of these mice causes all of the others nearby to be "frozen out" until you stop moving it. Even though the select buttons on the dongle allow us to keep each mouse and computer paired up, no two can be used simultaneously.

Several years ago, Microsoft's first-generation wireless mice had a channel selector switch on the bottom to allow 2 wireless mice to operate without stepping on each other. But that was only two channels, and sometimes a person sitting at a desk 8-9 feet away would wind up moving the mouse of a 3rd computer (on the same channel)

Is there anything available that might work for 4 computers in close proximity to each other? I need any of these computers able to move their mouse without locking out the others...

Multiple computers with wireless mice?norton antivirus 2007

Unfortunately, wireless mice are not designed for that kind of usage. If you all had different kinds of mice, they might operate on sufficiently different frequencies not to interfere with each other, but again probably not (since the transmitter/receiver modules tend to be generic).

Maybe you have a virus on your computer's operating system. If alot of your hardware has the same problem, there is probably a bug in your computer, not the hardware. It could be from an outdated operating system. What do you have? If it's anything older than Windows XP or Mac OS X.3 it's pretty old and you should think about upgrading. It might be a driver problem that comes from outdated OS's.

Cannot connect to the internet using my two computers?

It's been two week now since I could last connect my two computers. My main computer is connected through wired connection, though I have a wireless connected so I can connect to the other computer. Not too long ago I updated my network magic, which I have on both computers. I did the wrong thing and updated to the newest version of network magic. Now both my main computer and the other computer have the same IP address?? I can only connect to my other computer and access the internet, on my main computer the internet doesn't work. But, I cannot connect wirelessly on both computers I can only connect through wired connection on the other computer, on the main computer the internet doesn't work at all, it's not the router, or the wireless I assume I think it's to do with the same IP address, what do I do so both computers can access the internet?

Cannot connect to the internet using my two computers?norton ghost

Well, that is the problem with these "magical" programs, they don't always work "Magic".

If it were me, I would go into the control panel, network connections, double click on the wired, or wireless adapter.

A screen will appear that shows a list of "network protocols" find the one that says, TCP/IP (internet) double click it! Check the box that says, "Obtain Address Automatically" and the box that says "Obtain DNS Automatically" . CLick ok and let the computer do its thing. Then restart the computer and see if the IP conflict is gone! If you need help here is a guide.

Since you didn't say what OS, I have to guess XP (as the above)

What field in computers is best for me?

ok I am having trouble figuring out what computer field is best for me? Here's what i'd like to do:

- computer repair (hardware repair, replacement, installation, and software install/useage, ect) similar to that of a technical support specialist/computer repair specialist

- networking

- problem solving/diagnostic work (cleaning out viruses, finding out why something isn't working, ect.)

- security (making sure systems are secure, ect)

Personally I like repairing computers and the problem solving...but i didn't like the sound of a computer repair specialist or comp. technician due to the low salary compared to other computer careers. I wasn't sure if an IT specialist would exactly cover the majority of this.

Plz help me!! What computer career would be good for me!

What field in computers is best for me?norton internet security 2008

Doing what you like is important as long as it doesn't get stale and helps you achieve what you need financially. The status thing (title) really is only important on your resume in my opinion.

Problem solving/diagnostic work could be good because new and unqiue situations always arise that requires broader on-going education (read opportunity). Also pretty gratifying. AND usually you get to know more people this way and that can lead to better networking (interpersonal) which is usually politically GOOD and can open doors for you. The idea about becoming an architect is really the most profitable though.

Connecting 2 computers through ADSL Router?

i have a d-Link ADSL 2+ router (GLB 502T) it comes with an ethernet port and a USB port.

in theory, it is possible to connect one computer through the ethernet port and the other through usb. But for some reason, my USB port gives a very very fickle connection.

I want to know if i can connect both my computers through ethernet with minimal expenditure. I thought of the foll. two methods... but dunno the technicalities involved... any help wud be greatly appreciated...

1) Router --%26gt;USB A/F to B/F adaptor ---%26gt; USB to Ethernet Adaptor ---%26gt; Ethernet Cable --%26gt; COMPUTER 1

Router ---%26gt; Ethernet Cable ---%26gt; COMPUTER 2

2) Router --%26gt; SPLITTING DEVICE X

SPLITTING DEVICE X ---%26gt; Ethernet cable --%26gt; COMPUTER 1

SPLITTING DEVICE X ---%26gt; Ethernet cable --%26gt; COMPUTER 2

ideally, SPLITTING DEVICE X should b a switch /hub or something... but i am looking at a very very basic splitter... which is not that expensive.

any ideas?

Multiple computers on Comcast cable?

I currently have one computer hooked up to the internet using Comcast cable, but I actually have 3 computers (2 regular and 1 laptop). I want to have internet access for the laptop and both computers. What's the best way to do this? Router? Wireless? Also if all are in use at the same time is it going to kill my connection speed?

In case it matters, all rooms where the computers are have a cable connection for TV which is how my main computer is connected.

Multiple computers on Comcast cable?nortonantivirus

unless youre running a download that is close to your maximum internet speed, it won't affect your connection too much (browsing the web won't slow down unless youre on dial up, which you aren't). I would say router is your best option. the two desktops are close enough to hardwire them to the router, but I would suggest a router with wireless, because the whole point of a laptop is mobility, and that is kind of ruined if it is plugged into the router all the time (and plugging/unplugging the ethernet cables all the time will ruin the connectors)

Multiple computers on Comcast cable?spyware

Like the previous answers before me, get a wireless router. You may notice a difference in speed if all 3 computers were watching videos on the internet at the same time, but other than that, it shouldn't slow down the connection.
Yes, you will be needing a wireless router. Using all the machines at the same time won't effect your connection that much, but it's also dependent on what applications you're running, and how much bandwidth is being used.
A router is the easiest, wireless is your preference.

Into how many computers I can Install Microsoft Office 2007? Just one license per computer?? Thanks.

Cant access other computers on network...?

Im trying to connect to other computers on this network. I can see the computers but when I try to open and view whats on them, it asks me for a password. All the other computers except 1 are running NT and the one with XP it lets me connect to. The computer that I'm using to try to connect has XP on it. The Computers with NT have no problem viewing the files from each other... only the computer with XP wont connect. Can someone help me out with this?

Cant access other computers on network...?panda

In order to access an XP machine, depending upon its configuration, you will need the username and password. Also check the firewall setting(particularly if there are two, such as Windows Firewall and Norton Internet Security); the local zone(local computers) have to be put in the trusted zone before XP will allow connection. Usually in these cases it is the firewall. Good Luck

The NT boxes have the passwords saved in them. Ask your network administrator for help

Cars vs Computers do you think this is funny???

For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way computers

have enhanced our lives, read on.

At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer

industry with the auto industry and stated,

"If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all

be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."

In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating:

If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with

the following characteristics (and I just love this part):

1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash........

Twice a day.

2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new

car.

3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have

to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car,

restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason

you would simply accept this.

4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car

to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall

the engine.

5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five

times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of

Computers Destroying Basic Self Esteem?

Are computer destorying the development process of early human developements of basic self esteem? I believe THEY ARE, because they are addictive for younger people today and distract them away from "real world experiences" with their very realistic "virtual world experiences". Computers also have more to do on them these days, thus further distracting younger people from developing their self esteem..out in the world on foot. Without developing self-esteem, one may become angry or depressed about missing out...they may even stoop as low as to feeling they've wasted their life on computers when they think about it. It's a **problem** and these machines should have limits before someone becomes addicted and "misses out." Not developing basic self esteem in one's younger years due to computers will remove one's basic self esteem for the rest of their life. Then again, if the whole world become addicted, then an evolution will work things out. What do you think?

Computers in 2018...?

I am writing an essay on how computers will affect our lifestyle in 2018 (10 years from now) and whether they will, on balance, be a threat or a benefit to us.

How would you aproach this question, I mean do you think the way computers affect our lifestyle now will be any different from the way it will do in 10 years from now? And how do we even know for sure that in 10 years from now we will use computers? maybe something will have happened before then and all computer systems and network will be down I mean how the hell am I supposed to predict that? good websites and quotes will be great, thanks.

All we have to do is sit back and watch the monitor.

Computers may even be used for producing micro-bots to combat virus linked diseases or destroying unwanted cells in the body etc.. by inserting the micro-bots in the body. The essay obviously wants you to assume what will happen in comparison to how important computers to us are today. I
They will never become a threat because of the restrictive legislations that will occur. The infrastructures of many countries will need to undergo radical upgrading to get any kind of speed out of the overburdened internet and microsoft will still make bloatware....
Computers will continue to impact our lifestyle and to a greater degree then before.

Computers on a network not seeing each other? (Netgear router)?

I am trying to file share on my home network. I have four PCs, each of which are connected to a netgear router. All of these computers can connect to the internet.

I have set up each of the computers in a workgroup, called PBMCFILESHARE. Yet, for some reason, none of these computers can actually see each other.

YET, all the computers can ping to each other and get a response.

Am I missing something here?

Computers on a network not seeing each other? (Netgear router)?spyware removal

have you turned on sharing

Computers on a network not seeing each other? (Netgear router)?virus protection software

Is there a personal fire wall turned on, on each computer. Is the file sharing turned on on each of the computers. Try manually sharing a file on one of the computers and see if the rest can see it.
How you enabled network sharing on the folders that you want to share? Right click "Properties", "Sharing" tab. Networking does not give a free for all between computers, folders and resources have to be enabled for sharing.

After that, if there are still problems try removing the firewall. If that worries you, disconnect from the Internet first, but if all the computers in the network can be trusted there will almost certainly be a configurable firewall in the netgear router.
you need to install netbeui

they wont see each other on tcpip thats used for the internet
hi firstly if ur using home edition run the network wizard on all pc's to enable file sharing then re-boot.

if ur using professional each machine must be set up with a password for each user to login to the set shared folder by the administrator

good luck

Networking 2 computers thru modem/router?

Both computers are already connected to the internet. I want to share folders. Ran the wizard, (i didn't make the disk, I have no floppy drive) The one computer shows the main computer but says it doesn't have the required access. And the main computer isn't showing the other computer! I can't find anywhere to give permission and the more I read, the more confused I get! Can someone explain in detail, or give me a link to easy instructions.

Make sure file and print sharing is enabled on both pcs in network properties. You should now see a sharing tab when you right click on any folder or drive. Click whatever folder or drive you want to share and enable sharing and the level of sharing you want. When you open network places, you should then see the folder. I simply share the whole drive on the rest of my lan pcs and disable sharing on my main pc.

I have three Computers in my house. Need help with Outlook express?

Hey guys.

I've got three computers with the same email account on three of them. My question is , Is it possible to delete the emails from one computer. If I dont use the other computers for a few days , and when I open my email it has a tons of emails that i've already read while I was using the other computer. Then I've got to delete them on each computer. Can I set this up where when I delete an email from one computer and it will delete them on all of them.

I have three Computers in my house. Need help with Outlook express?spyware

It's not possible to do with Outlook express using a regular (POP/SMTP) email from your ISP.

Find out if your email provider or ISP offer an IMAP connection. I know someone who uses this to view her Hotmail in Outlook and if she had more than one PC it would synchronize between PCs when she deleted an email. It effectively means you are using Outlook as the front end and the web mail as a back end.

It works very well however the limitation with this approach is that you are restricted to whatever mailbox size your mail provider gives you.

OKOK, here we go. First Apple Preferences, go to File Sharing and make sure that the domain or workgroup you are on for the network is the same, (so go to the windows machine right click on My Computer go to Properties, Computer Name check for Domain or Workgroup name, insert that into your field for Workgroup under your Mac). Next go to your Network peferences on your mac and make sure that your IP is on the same subnet.(Network Connections under your Control Panel in windows environment to check) Let me know if this works for you, if not then i will tell you more things to do. Thanks~

you need to connect both together using a network cable, which will need to be cross-over unless you also have a network switch. Run the network setup wizard on the connected machine, and set up internet connection sharing oon it's modem. Do not use the disk when offered, it does not work well. Run the network wizard on the second machine, set the same workgroup as the other one, then tell the wizard to connect to the internet through another machine.

Computer Depot offers a 12% discount on computers sold Labor Day weekend. There is also a $100 rebate availablsymantic

a) Remember that a percentage can be represented by a decimal by dividing it by 100. The price of the unit after the discount is it's full price, 100 percent, minus its discount, 12 percent. In decimal terms, 1 - .12 = the final price.

So, d(p) = (1-.12)p = .88p = new price

b) r(d) = d - 100 = price after rebate.

c) For this, just substitute function d(p) for d in the function r(d).

r(d(p)) = d(p) - 100 or

s(p) = .88p - 100

d) Substitute values.

s(799.99) = .88*799.99 - 100 = 603.9912

s(999.99) = .88*999.99 - 100 = 779.9912

s(1499.99) = .88*1499.99 - 100 = 1219.9912
