Computer Hardware

Input. You're sending instructions or commands to the computer.

Output is when the computer gives information to you, such as a monitor, printer, or speakers.

The easiest way to put pictures on your camera would be to get a card reader and plug that into your computer. Then drag the pictures on your computer into the same folder as the one where your camera stores pictures when you take them.

date time change and window starting problem

out of experience, my acer laptop shut down all the time and i had no idea.

i got it repaired, and the damage was the CPU overheating and shutting down because of the heat getting to much for the computer.

hope this helps :)

A generic driver for the RealTek RTL8139D can be found at the link below. Note that Windows 2000 and later should already include this driver by default.

You can also visit Getdriversnow website and download free driver for Realtek ethernet driver. Just follow the link below.

False. It uses a coaxial cable and an AUI connector.

The computer uses this test to make sure that all critical components are accounted for and apparently working okay before proceeding with booting up the operating system.

Well I have had several other computers and laptops before. My new Emachines computer that I purchased this week had 1GB DDR2 in it and it has beaten all my other computers and laptops in speed. So I'm guessing it's all thanks to the 1GB DDR2. Well I have had several other computers and laptops before.

The traditional parallel port is a 25 "d-sub" connector.

Serial ports come in two flavors, either 25 pin "d-sub" or 9 pin.

USB (another serial communication standard) is a different animal.

PS/2 is also a serial port and it has six pins.

The speakers are an output device because they are delivering data from the computer to the user. Speakers, monitors, and printers are examples of output devices. Keyboards, mice, and tablets are input devices. Devices that are i/o devices (input and output) include floppy drives, hard drives, cards, and USB drives.

There are two types of pointing input device one is called mouse another one is light pen.

1:- Mouse

mouse is a primary text input device but lack the ability to easily transmit textual information. It is also called pointing device that is used to move a pointer on the computer screen in order to point to a place on display screen and to select on or more actions to be taken from the position.

2:- Light pen

light pen is a pointing input device that contains a photo detector or light pen is source and that allows interaction with a computer through a specially designed monitor.generally it is used for engineering designing.

Any devise that is made to work with firewire. Such as a hard drive.

This is actually a very complex question, and would probably be difficult tofully answer with even with an entire textbook. But I think the most crutial element serving asa "bridge" between software and hardware would probably be the "register." Commands or services requested by the software are finally encoded intobinary valuesof "0"s and "1"s and are written into a "register". For example, some register may hold a value of "01101100". The above encoding has a total of 8 "bits" (one byte), where each value of either "0" or "1" is called a "bit" (and 8 bits are collectively called a "byte"). At the hardware level, the computer hardware does not see these "0"s and "1"s as numbers, but as voltage levels, for example, a high voltage of +3 volts may represent a "1" and a low voltage of near 0 volts may represent a "0" (or vice versa, depending on how the circuitry is designed). These high and low voltages are fed into a series of "logic gates" which in turn, through the correct logic design, will go about with producing the results specified by the particular software command. For example, if the software is requesting a caculation, the hardware logic gates may add the first two bits of the encoding together, produce a result "1" ("0" + "1" = "1"), and then write this result into another register somewhere for the software to subsequently go fetch and read. Or, if the encoding is a request for some kind of service, the logic gates may in turn access or write into some other registers which would in turn trigger other logic gates to inititiate this service. But again, this is a very complex process with indeed many variations depending on what kind of technologies the designers of the system choose to implement anduse.

If you're asking about converting units between MegaBytes and KiloBytes, there are 1024 KiloBytes in a MegaByte. So, if something is 42MB, you multiply by 1024 and get 43,008Kb.

If you're asking how to make your files smaller, you need compression software, such as gzip, winzip or stuffit. Depending on the files you are trying to compress, you may be able to reduce their size significantly. Some files are very difficult to compress, however, and it's not even worth the time to shave a few bytes off the total file size.

In general, documents like MS word and excel are very easy to compress, and you can bundle thousands of them together and compress them to save lots of space. Media files such as movies and pictures can be much less useful to compress.

There would be a connecting cable between the phone and the laptop and that has to be the connection between the two.Bluetooth could be another method though to get the pictures and video transferred vice versa.

Serial port, this one, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:RS-232.jpeg) it is usually coloured green on modern computers.

Well the hard drive stores all your personal data and system data, without a hard drive to boot your operating system from all your left with is a glorified side table.

The most common example of a device that acts as both input and output simultaneously is a touch screen monitor for a computer.

The display of data makes it an output device while the ability to send signals to the computer via touch makes it an input device as well.

No. Input devices are those devices which help us to give a command or data to a computer, for example Keyboard. While output devices gives us data, for example Monitor. In the case of some devices, they can act as an Input as well as output device at the same time, like Touchscreen Monitor.
