hi, iv got this problem on my computer, it makes this "printing sound" when i speak through skype as my mates say. I can hear a buzzing like sound when i record any thing, this repeats every 1-2 seconds even though i cannot hear anything when it is on my lap nor when i put it next to my ear, this problem wouldn't really bother me but i am trying to learn french through rosetta stone and that sound toggles the speech recognition and doesnt let me learn , i have NO idea how to fix that. my laptop is acer aspire 5742, if any one has an idea or advice i could use please post it here thanks

My local kennel club is going to change their website. They want to new one to look better and have more options like a members page where you have to login to see, e-mails for all members, possibly a place where members can make profiles, plenty of pages (unlimited would be best), easy to use, and to be able to use paypal to sell thing on it (like grooming spaces at our annual dog show). Any recommendations? I've only made one website before, but it was one of those really simple ones and you couldn't do too much with it. This is what their site looks like now: http://www.westvolusiakennelclub.com/

3DMark 11 has found DirectX 11 system files, but your graphics adapter reports that it supports only Direct X 9_3. 3DMark 11 requires both DirectX 11 system files and DirectX 11 capable hardware to run. If you are certain that you have DirectX 11 hardware present, there may be a problem with your video drivers. See 3DMark 11 FAQ for more information. Am guessing that this is the reason my comp is crashing I am being told that direct x 11 can not be set back to 9.3 Anyone know how to solve this without formatting ?????????

I used to use this years ago and it was fine. Downloaded it last night, installed and did a scan. Click on the 'get updates' button and it takes me to a page that 'does not recognize your computer' and tells me to download the thing I have already run. Huh? I have emailed their tech support but not heard back from them so I thought I'd try on here

Becky called and wanted me to ask a question for her about her computer... She has a PC that's probably around 6 years old. Her husband has a car manual program (Fast-Track) which uses up a fair amount of her hard drive, and she'd like to remove it. She went under Control /Add or Delete Programs and clicked on Change or Remove. When she does this, she gets the following message: "You have incorrect version of product.ini", and it won't let her remove it. She wants to know if anyone had any idea why this is, and how she might be able to get rid of the program... Thanks!

My dad wants to get me a new tv for my bday coming up but wants me to pick it. Again awesome right? WRONG! I HATE tv shopping always have always will. There's just to much technical crap and it's all confusing To be honest I'm really dumb I don't understand half of it and really I do try really hard to. I research my tiny brain out and I still don't get it I'm just not smart enough. All I want is a tv that will play my games in a good quality.
