Q: I have two desktops (Compaq Presario SR1410NX and Compaq Presario SR1050N)Â that I could choose from to upgrade and I am wondering which one I should upgrade.
A: There comes a point in every computers life where the cost of upgrades wont get you the performance you could get if you spent the same money on a new computer. In the case of these two computers it would be a better idea to spend the money you would have spent on the upgrades on a new machine and you will easily get 5 to 10 times the performance out of the new machine than you would out of the upgrades.
Read Question HereQ: I have two computers. The first one is a SR1410NX Compaq Presario and the second one is a SR1050NX Compaq Presario. Both systems currently have PC2700 RAM in them and I am wondering if I can put PC3200 RAM in either of them? I know they are both old but which do you think would be better to add a couple minor upgrades to?
A: PC3200 RAM will work but remember that RAM always runs at the speed of the slowest stick. So if you mix together PC2700 and PC3200 RAM then all the RAM will run at PC2700 speeds. Read the rest of this entry »
Read Question HereQ: How can I fix my USB ports on a Compaq Presario SR192ONX? Everything is updated. The device manager says the USB port is working properly.

Q: I have a Compaq laptop just over a year old, OS Vista Home Premium. Recently, after a series of a couple of events, it’s become impossible to open Microsoft Word and my Internet Explorer browser without a series of installers trying to start, all suggesting something’s missing that I need to install using a disc.
There are only two things that led up to this — one, I tried to install Second Life and two, I did a Windows update.
I don’t even know if these are related, but I uninstalled Second Life, and when I could not get the printer to open after many attempts, uninstalled it and tried to download the software from HP to reinstall, but that was unsuccessful.
I am on dialup at home (argh) but can get to free wi-fi spots if I’d need to to get this squared away. I really REALLY need to get at Word and a couple other programs.
Any help at all would be appreciated.
