    Wireless connection but no internet

    A friend is using a Belkin wireless G router and can connect fine on the main desktop pc but the laptop doesn't seem to want to work. It connects to the network fine but still can't browse the internet or do anything else. We've tried using the laptop on my network at home and also at college...

    Best software for burning DVD+R

    I'm planning on burning some videos to DVD to play on a home DVD player. What would be the best program for doing this? I don't mind if it's not free, I can cough up a bit. The videos are MPEG layer-3 if that's relevant. Cheers in advance x

    Recovering file from old harddrive

    Got it sorted. I restarted in safe mode so I could get access to the security tab and then just gave myself access to it all. Thanks for all the help Donkey and Karan x

    Recovering file from old harddrive

    The problem is I can't access the files I need to access. Documents and settings (where I'd get all the stuff I need from the old harddrive from my documents etc) says access denied when I try to access it. So just to make it clear, it's safe to have 2 harddrives in the computer yes?

    Recovering file from old harddrive

    Sorry, I really am useless at the hardware aspect of computing. I had to google to find out what mobo meant... I used a program called CPU-Z to get some information and it came back with:

    Recovering file from old harddrive

    As per usual, I know nothing and need a bit of step by step help from the beginning. My old pc blew up so I threw it out but kept the harddrive as there are quite a few things I'd like to take from it to put on my new pc. How would I approach this without messing up my new pc? Cheers in...

    Games that made you angry.

    This thread is jokes. I used to get pissed off when Morrowind always randomly crashed and I hadn't saved it for ages but I've never broken anything :chk:

    Black screen when exiting games

    Also, sometimes on start-up, the screen freezes at the welcome screen and I can't click to enter my profile or shut down the computer so I have to manually reboot it. This isn't a MAJOR problem but it is a slight pain the the backside that I could be doing without. Any ideas at all?
