The title says it all really. someone at work has a USB memory stick which works in all machines except one.

so i've had this problem for a while now but it's never really bothered me to the point of trying to do something about it, and i'm planning on building a new one in the next few months anyway. whenever i turn the computer on i get the option of which OS i want to load, i've only got XP...

i set a little network up for a friends company a few days ago and there seems to be a problem with some file sharing. there's 5 computers altogether. 4 running xp and 1 running 2000 (not sure why), and the one with 2000 on is the one not allowing a certain folder to be shared. i turned the file...

i dont know why but suddenly i cant play .wmv files without my computer crashing. sometimes i can play one for a while but i get the weird green squares all over the video like it's the wrong codec and eventually the top half of my screen will freeze, along with the rest shortly after. random...

i think my motherboard may have finally died. it's probably due since it's almost 4 years old. it's an Abit KV8-MAX3, and today all of a sudden the screen just died. at first i thought the computer had completely restarted, so i turned it off and when i turned it back on the motherboard make a...

i posted about this before and got a few replies (which i tried) but i cant see to find the thread. a while ago my maxtor diamondmax 9 250gb s-ata hard drive somehow stopped working, while that hard drive is plugged in the computer wont start up, just before it reaches the login screen it...

i just got a new multi-region dvd player and to my joy found out that my old tv cant handle the ntsc discs (playing them black and white), so i need a new tv. just loooking for a simple widescreen 28", no more than £300 (poor student) and wondered if anyone knew of any within that price range...

i've got to do some research for a uni project, stuff about asp and php, i want to make php sound like the better option (i have no idea if it is or isn't). can anyone give me a few pointers on what to research, what php does better than asp. the person who did the coding for our project only...
