How do I change back to old Pandora?!?

admin — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0000

I love using Pandora radio because they provide me with free music that I like. I used to use it on my computer last year, before the upgrade, but then downloaded the mobile version to my iTouch and have used that since. Well, my iPod was recently lost and so I tried returning to online Pandora with horrific results – THERE’S AN UPDATE. My computer is an ACER mini laptop, and because of it’s small screen and size it’s difficult for it to load certain updates. I can’t listen to pandora because the music is choppy, and I’m really upset because I like listening to music as I work or read or do whatever. I was able to change my Gmail to the old version for loading purposes – why can’t I change Pandora? If anyone knows how, PLEASE help me! Thanks so much!

Im upgrading my graphic card and it requires at least 300W and my computer is 250W, I know I wont be able to do this myself, but around how much will I be having to spend to upgrade it?
calculate then shop
A bigger power supply will cost around $50-75. Installation of the power supply and video card should be less then $100. There are some places that will install for free if you buy from them so call around.

Is my computer any good?

My computer i bought it in 2003 i upgraded some parts inside though. The reason i am asking because it is really fast, i don’t use it to play games but it is really fast and reliable.Specs:Windows vista basicIntel Pentium 41.25 GB DDR @ 133MHz RAM256MB GeForce 6200 (EVGA)20GB HARD DRIVESONY DVD ROMand a flat screen 19inch lcd monitor.So what do you guys think about it? How much longer do you think i can continue to use it?
For basic tasks like office work and viewing photos, your computer is fine. If your getting into movies and gaming, your going to need a brand new rig to keep up with the latest things. but if your not doing that your computer is fine for basic tasks.I have friends who are using computers 2 years older than yours and they still manage. So i think your fine for a year or 2 more
By movies i mean like blu-rays and HD DVDssorry for not stating that before /question/accuse_write;_ylt=A0S00SRSJLZOBk0AVSBr7hR.;_ylv=3?qid=20111105115003AAYo0wo&kid=JpFoEjX8N3lXFT13Tj54&s=comm&date=2011-11-05+13%3A17%3A32&.crumb=oA2CLD.AmKH” class=”report-abuse”>Report Abuse
No. It’s not that great. If I saw the same exact one online, I wouldn’t buy it. It’s only got 256MB of RAM. Which isn’t horribly bad, but it’s not great, either. Second thing, only 20GB of hard drive space? That’s not good at either. My computer has 320GB of hard drive. It’s Toshiba Satellite L655 with Windows 7 Home Premium. The only bad thing I don’t like about it is it’s a single-core processor which sucks. Ah well. But, no, your computer isn’t that good. I wouldn’t use it for gaming because it would be extremely slow! But if you think it’s fast and reliable, keep it and use it until it goes out! Hope this helped!
Your computer is really good based on these parts.Except for the fact that it is running on Vista, it should be on windows 7!!!or be like me a get a MACthey are AMAZINGLOVING THE PROCESSORINTEL IS THE BEST
Hdd is 20 gb for past 8 year are you doing nothing
until it breaks or you determine its too slow.

My Razer BlackWidow gaming keyboard is pressing buttons on its own?

admin — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0000

A question originally submitted by "RUBABABILLBULBABALL":"I restarted my computer 5-6 times, unplugged the keyboard and plugged it back in multiple times in multiple different usb slots and even upgraded the firmware. What is going on it keeps typing random characters without me telling it do anything. A normal keyboard is working fine on my computer but my $130 blackwidow is having major problems what can i do to fix this issue?"An answer submitted by "techie":"$130.00 for a keyboard? They saw you coming. Have you tried cleaning it? Have you attempted to adjust the key repeat rate in Control Panel? Have you tried the ‘fussy’ fancy keyboard on another PC? Have you, have you, have you? Have you checked your bank balance lately? It may be a bad USB connector on the ‘golden’ keyboard. "Additional details by "RUBABABILLBULBABALL":"its $130 because of it’s software macro capabilities you have no idea what a razer product is do you…retard"And finally my own, hopefully more useful answer………………..First of all, never be deterred by people who can’t afford the same things you can. Commentary by anyone who "doesn’t like" an expensive product even though they have no experience with it is as irrelevant as that by a teenager saying he or she "doesn’t like" BMWs. Because it’s easier on a delicate ego to say "I don’t like it" than it is to say "I can’t have one". Even if the product at hand is indeed unreliable, verifiable merits are much more meaningful than envy as a tool of analysis.So… With Razer keyboards, and especially the BlackWidow series, the kind of problem you describe is often the result of a firmware issue. You can determine this by running the Razer BlackWidow Firmware Updater – yes, even if you’ve run it before, and even to reinstall the same firmware version. The goal is to "overlay" any potential corruption with a clean instance of the firmware. If this fixes your issue, then bad firmware will have obviously been the cause.If it doesn’t, then the next most likely suspect would be a piece of debris causing interference inside the unit. There are several guides on the ‘net for how to properly clean out this brand and model of keyboard without voiding the warranty. (This is something, in fact, that needs to be done with any keyboard every now and then unless it’s used in the likes of a NASA clean room.)And if updating the firmware or cleaning the unit doesn’t resolve the issue, then it’s most likely a problem with the circuit board in the BlackWidow. For that, you’ll need to contact Razer about a repair or replacement. (And no, that would not mean that "Razer stinks". I’ve worked with hundreds of brands and models of PC peripherals for three decades, and I have yet to see a single model that didn’t include some defective units.)I hope this helps not just the original poster, but anyone having this kind of issue with their Razer BlackWidow.– Chris
Magic or Gremlins? Why not get onto the manufacturer?
Have a priest come and bless your keyboard.

How do I make my computer work again?

admin — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0000

I have a Compaq that my father got me from work that they had upgraded with Firefox (don’t ask what model, it doens’t have it written on there, I just know it’s a tower, & we have a DELL screen). It’s always been strange. When I have it on for a while it’ll turn off for no reason, so I have to unplug it & replug it in. But earlier, it said that I needed to delete things from my computer, but when I tried, it said it was unable to delete the file. Then my computer froze, so I turned it off, then turned it back on. Now, it’s black & has white text, talking about initranfs (I have no idea what this is) & says for me to type help to get built-in commands. I type in help, & it has a whole bunch of words like break, cd, command, & export, along with others. If somebody can, will you please tell me what I can do to make it stop this & start working again? I use this computer only for facebook & fanfiction. I only use youtube a couple times a day, not that much though.

My Computer won’t start, how do I fix it?

admin — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0000

My computer needed to be reformatted, so I took my SADA HDD’s (I have 2, C:/ and a D:/ drive) out of my computer to us a USB universal adapter to salvage some of the important files. I did put the drives back into my computer and I’m certain I put the ports into the right sockets. The problem is when I turn my power on, the computer turns on the fans for like half a second and does not turn on. I had a friend tell me that my patriots might have been re written to a different file format, and it might not be compatible with my computer at the moment. Does anyone know how to fix this? My computer was previously formatted to vista, and I was going to upgrade to windows 7 because I lost my vista disc was lost. I have a Rosewill Performance RP500-2 power supply with some sort of MSI motherboard. Any help would be appreciated, and I would be glad to provide more information about my computer if necessary.
test your power supply and another hard drive.
yep its knackered and you need a new one
Set it up on a football field goal block and try to kick into the goal if you make it, it will turn on, if not its ****** for life.

What’s the best cell phone out now?

admin — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0000

I’ve been with AT&T for the last two years and now my contract is nearing renewal date so I either need to upgrade with them or switch carriers for a better phone.I’ve had the 3GS and dislike it. Everything loads too slow and I can’t count how many times google maps has given me wrong directions because it takes forever to find out where I really am. That was in San Diego. Now I’m in a small town with even worse reception. Not sure what other carriers services are like here in Bremerton, WA so still indecisive. What I want in a phone: fast loading, at least fast enough so it’s not like I’m using dual up. Possibly 3D, not a must have but the new gimmick has me like shiny objects for others. Customization, I was in the AT&T store and liked how some phones could have animated wallpapers. High quality videos/pictures, I’m in the military and record places I’ve been so this is a must have, maybe not the best but better than the 3GS. Decent battery life at least. A switchblade….come on you know that’d be neat if not a little bit excessive.Also I believe I’m grandfathered in to have unlimited data with AT&T. My mindset is I like to be in control of my cell. I’ve had apple and windows computers and hated how with apple I couldn’t get my hands really into it and do whatever I wanted. Although I dislike apple, I’m still willing to get the 4 or 4s if it proves superior. I’m also curious about the android app store because I like apples.Thank you all for your time and opinions!

Laptop computers, what’s the standard?

admin — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0000

Okay I am thinking of purchasing a laptop. Everyone has one, and I think I should get one to fit in.However fitting in is more about cost. That is my only concern, I don’t plan on getting a mac, because the os is not my thing. I want to know from you, the experts, what you think is the standard for laptop today and tomarrow. How much I should pay for a certain item, and why it would be ideal to buy what ever it is you can convince me to get. For me I feel that good speed, and memory is all that matters. Convince me so, or otherwise.I like games, Photoshopping, taking pictures and lots, autocadding, all at the same time. That is what I do on my desktop, which was given and upgraded for free just to fit my needs. So when it comes to computers and cost I have no idea. What do you got?
Me and My Dad LOVE Mac’s We only have mac’s. We just got the macbook air and its SO light <3 it is the 2nd biggest screen. the macbook air can’t hold that much compared to the desktop’s and the macbook pro’s. Get a macbook pro if you want it to hold the memory, eg (pictures, games) but the macbook ait is WAY lighter- Have Fun!
Macs are Good but if you want to watch Flash Videos your going to be out a luck if you get a Mac and they are BIG Money$$$. I would Recommend getting a laptop from Lenovo, Toshiba, or HP that will be at 1/3 the Price of a Mac. Check your Local computer shops or try getting one off Ebay
For the tasks you’ve mentioned, you’ll want a second-generation Intel Core i5; I’m not familiar with the specific mobile ones, but it should be an "i5-2###M" or somesuch. As for RAM, 4GB should do, though CAD can use a lot of RAM, so make sure that you leave room to upgrade.Graphics card-wise, the Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics should be fine unless you plan to do medium-high-settings gaming.
Look here compare models, features, spec’s, prices:

What good computer to buy for gaming?

admin — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0000

Hi! im kinda confuse to how to know if i could play any game types in its higher resolution. Can someone tell me like what is a good desktop or laptop to buy or tell me what is the best graphics to look 4 or to buy so i could upgrade the new comp to be better.Thanks,Mark
Alienware M18X, the world most awesome gaming laptopNuff’ Said
Hi Mark, without knowing what your budget is the question is a moog point..
What he said ^ – and if you can’t afford Alienware, go with a Dell
What I am about to tell you is 100% true and should be valued. The only way to get a good gaming computer at a good price is to build it. No joke. I have built 6 desktops to this day and they have all been at least $500 cheaper than if you had purchased them built. It is such a ripoff to buy rebuiltt gaming desktops…not to mention they are inferior. I’d invest some time into researching how to build one. It’ll be so worth it. You can email me if you have any questions. Alienwares are such a rip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had one and it was such a waste. teaobsessed@gmail.com
If I were you, I would look at the computers on cyberpowerpc before buying a brand like alienware. They have many good gaming computers for pretty broad price ranges. Plus they show benchmarks on MW2 and SC2 so that you can get an idea of how well games will run (although these benchmarks are obviously not 100% accurate displays of performance)
Hello,First thing is make your list of games, then look up the hardware requirements for they are given on the games. You can look up the games by using Google.Else you can go to a store that carries the games, gather them up, give them to the sales associate, and tell them you need a machine to play those games… lol It’s what they get paid to do.
