On your left there is a row ports, one (Or maybe 2 or 3) have a sign with a wire with 3 ends a triangle a square and a circle, get your usb stick (Memory stick) and place it in the port and on the screen it will appear with a folder click on it and drag thing in.

Hope this helps.

If the sound on a computer doesn't work correctly, it is wise to check the cords and make sure everything is plugged in. If that does not work, be sure the volume is turned up on the actual computer. If all else fails, consider investing in a new sound card.

Mainly, no RAM needs to be refreshed. The more RAM the better and faster. Lower than 800 MB RAM and a computer will be extremely slow and may need a RAM upgrade.

It really all depends on what kind of scanner you have. The Glass Versions. Put the picture on the glass under the lid of the scanner - make sure that the corner is up to where the arrows indicate that they should be. Close the lid slowly so that you don't make the paper fly and you set up the options in the panel - choose whether you want a color scan or black or white, and what kind of paper you are using. There should be a finish/start button on the printer somewhere that you press after you finish. The Suck-Into-Machine-and-Spits-Out-Paper Version. Set your picture in the tray and resize the tray so that the picture will fit snugly into the scanning portion. It's pretty much the same as above - you set up the printer/scanner so that it's scanning the picture and make sure you choose whether you want it photocopied or scanned into your computer. Then you make the choice of black and white or color scan and you hit the finish or start button, depending on your scanner.

Yes, you can just plug the ther router in to your first router, but you will need to change the channel on one of your routers so there's no conflict.

Answer Most of the surge suppressor indicator lights only show if the power is present and turned on. It does not add any other functionality in terms of surge suppression. Only if a particular model indicator shows that there was a surge on power line, it makes it more useful for the user as person can investigate reason or surge if it is happening repeatedly. Iindicator should be clearable manually by user.

- Neeraj Sharma

"...it's important a surge supressor has a light indicator that says the supressor part of the device is still working. Otherwise, you might not have protection" A+ Guide to Managing & Maintaining your PC (page 161) -MonkGizmo

That indicator light cannot report all failures. Normal failure mode for a protector is to degrade. That light cannot report a degraded protector. That light only reports that a surge, much too large for the protector, caused its thermal fuse to disconnect protector parts as fast as possible. To avert a fire. That light can only report a type of failure that says a protector was grossly undersized. And a potential threat to human life if that fuse did not blow fast enough.

Ability of a computer, computer software program, or hardware device to decode the human voice into digitized speech that can be interpreted by the computer or hardware device. Voice recognition is commonly used to operate a device, perform commands, or write without having to operate a keyboard, mouse, or press any buttons. For example, a user could say "open Internet" and the computer would open an Internet browser and allow that user to browse the Internet.

No. A DVD would be categorized as a storage device.

Brand-name computers are good quality but building your own can save you money and get you exactly what you want.

Brand-name is good quality, but they often bundle there PC's with lots of accessories and junk software that you probably will never use, and they jack up the price for it. I have recently built my first PC, it was surprisingly easy and fun. The first thing you should have in mind is what you want it to do, I built mine for games, so having upgradeable hardware is key...I wanted to be able to upgrade my graphics later on..

So you need to keep things in mind like this, do you want on-board video or not? I started with the motherboard and built around that. You need to fully understand that certain parts only work with certain parts e.g. you CANNOT stick a AGP video card into a PCI-E slot and expect it to work if you get my drift. Same goes for CPU/Mobo/RAM ect. So if you're building going from the ground up you need to remember this stuff, you CANNOT stick a 775 socket CPU in a 774 socket Motherboard. You will end up damaging both the CPU and the MOBO.

So keep that in mind, when you buy a Motherboard you should get a list of all the compatible hardware/software...Also there are lots of different Case types like : ASUS, Abit, MSI, DFI, ATX which all have different screw holes for the Motherboard and power supply...So advice would be to start with the motherboard and build up from that using the recommended hardware for the motherboard. Find a case that fits, make sure you have a Operating system disk handy, and make sure that OS is supported by all of your hardware.

You may also want to install the CPU yourself to save a lil money or you could opt for a Mobo w/pre-installed CPU and make things MUCH easier. I installed my CPU by myself was worried about it at first hearing a lot or horror stories of things going wrong, but personally I found it easy and had no problems installing the CPU whatsoever. Make sure you do the research first before attempting to install a CPU because you could easily destroy a CPU if you don't know what your doing. Don't be afraid to use a walk-through! It's a great feeling once you get her up and running and installing your new operating system :)

I'm 17, and have been building my own PCs for just over 5 years now. It's not as hard as they say...

You have to decide what you want the PC for, gaming, work, server management etc. After that, you need to decide what the best hardware is for your specific purpose (speak to a local PC dealer or two).

E.g: For gaming, you want a dual core CPU at minimum (quad core or higher preferred). So make sure the motherboard can handle a good CPU as well as lots of ram (+- 8 gb) and pci-e slot. If you can get a SLI compatible board then go for it (can connect to graphics cards of the same type to double memory). Also aim for a gigabit on-board network card and 5.1 channel sound card. A good hard drive is essential (250gb should do at first). Make sure your mother board can handle SATA (Serial-ATA) drives as they transfer data at a much quicker rate than the old IDE... I would suggest going for a Gigabyte mother board if it is your first build. They are easy to manage and very reliable.

Some of the latest ICT hardware include VOIP equipment and Wireless radio internet communication infrastructure such as WiMAX. WiMAX ensures that areas with little cable coverage can still access internet at high speeds.

Follow these steps.I hope this help.

Step 1: Identify your current BIOS version.

The easiest way to find your BIOS version is to open up the System Information app in Windows--just type msinfo32 into the search bar (for Windows 7/Vista) or the Run box (XP), and click System Summary; your BIOS version should now show up on the right under your processor speed. Record your version number (and the date that appears afterwards, if applicable).

Step 2: Check your PC/motherboard manufacturer's Website for BIOS updates.

Most PC manufacturers handle BIOS updates based on your specific line and model, so head over to your manufacturer's support page and check its listings for your PC, because if you download and install a BIOS intended for a different model, your PC probably won't work (although most BIOS updaters are smart enough to notice if you try to install them on the wrong hardware). If there is a BIOS update file available, grab it--along with any documentation it comes with, because often warnings and specific instructions are contained in the Read Me docs.

Those of you who assembled your PC yourself will need to look for BIOS updates from your motherboard manufacturer's Website. If you don't remember your motherboard's model number, you can look it up without opening up the case by downloading and running CPU-Z and clicking on the Mainboard tab.

Step 3: Read the included documentation.

The BIOS updater's Read Me file will most likely include a list of fixes and new functions, often to support new hardware. Updating the BIOS for my Lenovo Thinkpad T500, for example, added support for a new AC adapter and a 1600-by-900-pixel screen resolution on an external monitor; the update also fixed fan speed and Webcam issues that could not have been handled by updating Windows or my specific device driver software.

More important, however, were these notes in the Read Me file: If I was running Vista on my T500, I'd need to make sure that I had a certain patch installed; and if my T500 had a certain graphics card, I would need to update its drivers above a certain version before updating my BIOS. Read and reread your docs, or you might make your PC unable to boot without even knowing why.

Step 4: Update your BIOS.

Most newer PCs have a fairly easy BIOS update procedure: Just download the .exe file from your PC manufacturer's Website, quit all open programs, run the .exe, and let it handle the patch; then reboot. If your PC suddenly shuts down in the middle of the BIOS update, you won't be able to boot up, so make sure you're not running off a laptop battery. Ideally, you're plugged into an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), especially if you're in an area prone to blackouts.

These chips are called a "Chipset", A chipset is usually designed to work with a specific family of microprocessors. Because it controls communications between the processor and external devices, the chipset plays a crucial role in determining system performance

The standoffs create a space between the case and the motherboard, so preventing shorting of components. The space also aids cooling air flow through the space.

A modem is a device that converts analog signals to digital signals, and vice-versa. This would be required when you need to do that type of conversion (for example, over a phone line to transmit data).

The keyboard or a representation of one is the commonest. My opinion.

Well, you can buy quad core processors (just GOOGLE Quad Core) but

whether or not it will be compatible with your current computer is something

you'll have to take up with the manufacturer.

Alternatively, you can buy a new computer.

A computer has two types of memory, RAM or random access memory and ROM or read only memory. With read only memory, the computer can read the memory but can not change it. It tells the computer how to work. Random access memory is memory that can be changed. It tells your computer what to do. Once you are finished with the random access memory, you can use the space it occupied for other tasks.

The two are analogous to the way your body works. You have both kinds. If you tell your hand to pick up a pencil, you are using random access memory. You are telling your hand to do one of many possible different instructions. You do not need to tell your hand which tendons, muscles, veins, arteries, nerves, and bones to use in the process. Those instructions are built in. That is analogous to read only memory.

Soon after you picked up your pencil, you have forgotten you picked it up. You have started to draw a picture or add some numbers. You are using your short term memory for something else. It does not matter what. Soon you will forget that also. You will forget the start of a project. You will remember the finished product. You may save that. You can not save that in random access memory but you can save your drawing or math homework.

a chipset is a set of chips on the motherboard that collectively control the memory, buses on the motherboard, and some peripherals.

High-performances chipsets-the X58bchipset supports the Intel LGA1366scoket

Mainstream desktop chipsets-The P45,P43,P35,G45 and G31 chipset supports Core 2 Quad and Core 2 Duo Intel processers.

Value desktop-The 910GL,845E,845G chipset supports the Pentium 4,Celeron,and Celeron, and Celeron D processors in low-end systems.

Older value desktops-the 845 and 845GL chipset support the Pentium 4 or Celeron processeor in a low-end system using the 478PGA socket

It really depends on how hot the fire is... No really, burning a CD means that a laser is etching information on it. Most CD's are write once, meaning that you can etch(burn) info on the disk but when its full that's it. It cannot be reused. Re-writable disks are available that can be erased and written to again. So to answer your question, burning a disk in a CD drive will normally not damage it, but after you have 'burned ' what you want on it then the disk can only be used to access the info on it and cannot be burned again.

9V batteries are a type of alkaline battery. The alternative is a lithium battery. Alkaline batteries use zinc as an anode whereas lithium batteries use lithium. Lithium batteries produce higher voltage and have a longer lifespan, thus they are more expensive.

The disadvantage of mainframes?

1. Cost of hardware

2. Special operating systems/software (more cost there, too).

You typically won't see a mainframe used unless some organization with really deep pockets has a mission-critical function that requires massive amounts of information to be processed, in a very reliable manner.

What you are referring to is the QWERTY (start of top left row) keyboard layout.
Rumor has it that this selection of letters were placed in order to slow down the typing speed. Why would they want to slow them down? Because, on the original typewriters, ink was transferred to paper via an arm. On the end of that arm was the letter you wanted to type. Some people were so fast that arms tended to get jammed and you had to stop and unclog them before doing anymore typing. Also, it it not a coincidence that the letter from the top row can be rearranged to spell "typewriter".
