I have  a web cam attached to my computer, which I need to place out of my room at some distance to watch what is going on outside. Its a USB web cam. So I decided to extend my USB cable by attaching 5 USB cables with each other which I purchased from a store.

My problem is that, it is not detecting my web cam after using 5 cables attached with each other. I am getting installation of drivers but its getting failed due to unrecognized device attached to USB and malfunctioning. One of my friend managed to get...

My DVD drive is not reading any DVD. I tried to open my computer and clicked on the CD/drive icon and it says please insert any disk into the drive.

Whenever I put the CD into my drive it plays well but whenever I try to play a DVD just light blinks for some time but nothing happens.

I bought a new DVD drive which works well with only CDs I have purchased, but it doesn't recognize CD/DVDs written by me or someone else, I think it is a software problem but does anyone have any advice what can i do or where to start, thanks.

I am using Nero...

Hi,

Inkjet printers- a brief buyer guide

Even when the laser printers are becoming cheaper, inkjet printers are still holding their position in the market. The factors contributing to it are, lower cost of running and partly, low investment. Also, they require less space. Home users prefer inkjet printers than the laser one. Inkjet printers are facing tough competition, due to decreasing price of the laser printers.

Printer speed is generally advertised in bold letters. But it must be noted that, the actual speed cannot match the advertised speed in the real life situations. As the print quality is increased,...

My brother who is a computer engineer blocked my Facebook and chat room site which I use to access from my laptop.

I tried searching for the host file in Windows directory, but its blank. There is no file in the directory. Last time I got access by replacing that file with another same file, which my friend sent me. This time there's no such file to replace. I also tried checking in Internet explorer options but no site is blocked there. I am unable to access Facebook and not able to login to my Facebook account.

Is there any trick by which I could access those...

I'm a bit interested when my Sister ask me about Linux Fedora and Windows 2008 dual booting.

I didn't think of that also actually. I've been worked out with dual booting such as WIN2K3 and WINXP, WINXP and WIN2007, WIN98 and WIN2K3 but i didn't encounter dual booting Windows 2008 and Linux Fedora. I don't know the history of Linux that why i don't know if that is possible to dual boot.

Is it applicable to do dual booting Linux and Win 2008?

If that so, can you explain further so that i can try that one at home. Thank You.

There were many browser hijackers that try to break into my computer, but this time there is this fake desktop background that suddenly appears. I really don’t know what sites I went to, but this certainly looks like a very dangerous virus or Malware.

This background reads “WARNING! YOUR’RE IN DANGER! YOUR COMPUTER IS INFECTED WITH SPYWARE!”

At that time, I tried to clean and scan my hard drives using my current antivirus program, but it says that my current antivirus program has failed and forces me to purchase their malware.

I tried rebooting my computer but the...

My computer will not start. It shows the XP logo but then startup is canceled, I get the choice of safe mode, last known good configuration and start windows normally but none work. I have been told it's a hardware problem and I should delete the new hardware from my computer to fix my initial problem. I test hardware to install another computer and no problem there. I try to repair windows by chkdsk command but problem is same. Occasionally my computer run and I can work but most of the times it’s occurring this problem how can I solve this?

Many of my games require the CD or DVD to be inserted before launching the game. For some reason, my computer will not read the autorun.inf files and launch the auto play menu upon inserting the disk in either drive. But others software which have autoran.inf is run properly.
