I have a sticker on my black Lian Li aluminum case that I’m trying to remove. When I peel up a corner of the sticker it tears and leaves a nasty sticky residue on the case. Can anyone recommend an easy way to remove the whole sticker and any sticky residue it leaves behind? Cheers

I purchased my first Android phone (EVO 4G) this past weekend and I wanted to set the background to a custom wallpaper. I found a website that had a wallpaper that I liked which was the exact screen resolution of my EVO at 480 by 800. After downloading the wallpaper and clicking on the...

I'm not sure under which sub category this question should go so I came here. My parents recently each got a new laptop and they both are nearly incompetent technology users and have been calling me every 5 minutes to help them with different things over the phone. I was wondering what...

I was just reading that because of the iPhone 4's reception problems, Apple has "graciously" decided to dump the restocking fee for the time being if you decide to return your iPhone within 30 days. What I found interesting and have never seen before was that there is a $10 difference in the...

Everyone, meet and say hello to the Guard Dog.

My younger sister will be attending UNC in the Fall and our parents just purchased a Lenovo W500 notebook through the UNC system or whatever you want to call it. They preloaded it with their settings and software so it is good to go when she starts classes I guess. I'm curious about the...

I’m in need of some advice. I took my desktop into a local PC repair shop here in town because I was running into trouble with a reinstallation of Windows Vista Home Premium. I gave the technicians my OEM DVD of Home Premium to see if they could get Vista up and running for me (it would...

I’ve been having some problems with my computer for about 2 weeks now and I’m out of ideas for troubleshooting. My next step is going to be taking my desktop into a local PC shop for repair. Before I do that I thought I would try one more time and see if anyone can give me any ideas to try...

I currently have 2gigs of Corsair 1066mhz ram. My computer has recently been acting mentally retarded and so I ran memtest86 on each stick. Each was reported to have errors after testing. According to my specs in my sig., if I purchased new ram that was 800mhz and not 1066, would I notice...

I began having trouble with Vista and decided to just do a complete reinstall to fix everything. However I am running into trouble when reinstalling. When I get to the screen where I type in my Windows Vista Product Key, it completely freezes. The mouse cursor is able to move around but when I...

I just walked in the door from a long day at work and one of the first things I did was power up the PC. However, my PC began acting very weird from the get-go. When I hit the power button, the PC began booting up, and then all of a sudden it shut-down and then restarted all by itself. It did...

Hey guys, my girl friend's baby has destroyed her flash drive that was plugged into her laptop that had all her data (i.e. business plans, term papers, etc...). The docs were not backed up and so the data on that drive is that much more invaluable. (...please don't flame that she should have...

I own a Samsung SyncMaster 226BW and a HP dv5-1017nr notebook and last week while sitting at my desk I took a sip of Mountain Dew. Without warning as soon I took the sip of ‘Dew I had one of those random choking type coughs from the back of the throat. Sadly, I spit up the ‘Dew all over my...

I’m presently enrolled in an entrepreneurial management class and I’ve been given an assignment which asks us to think of a business and then develop a business plan for it. At the end of the semester my group and I will then be required to present our business plan to a panel of local...

I just purchased a laptop from Best Buy today and as expected I was pressured into purchasing an extended warranty. The laptop I purchased for the unit itself cost $1,049 and the variety of extended warranties had prices that were all over the place. The sales associate tried to convince me...

I saw this offered earlier this year, but it seems as if Microsoft has started the promotion again. If you are a college student with an educational e-mail address you should be entitled to purchase Office Ultimate '07 for $60...

Hey guys, I’m looking to purchase my first laptop and I need some help. I have surfed around in an attempt to find some buying guides for first time purchasers of laptops but I wanted to see what you all could suggest/recommend or throw out any friend advice for me. I usually do well when...

I’m not exactly sure where to begin with this because it seems I have a few problems. I’m beginning to believe that they all stem somehow with an issue in Vista. Last week I drove down to Florida with my PC (well protected). When I pulled it out and plugged it in I was gretted with a box...

Hey everybody, I was entertaining the idea of adding some more RAM to my PC and in the process though of a few questions. First, I already have 2 gigs of DDR2-1066 and I’m running Vista 32-bit and if my memory serves my right, 32-bit Vista has a 3 gig useful limit or something like that...

Yesterday I was working all day writing up a report on my PC and around 6pm I decided I want to go play catch with a friend. I left my PC running knowing that if I was gone long enough, it would go into sleep mode. After returning an hour later, I found my PC did indeed go into sleep mode...

My AC Freezer Pro 7 died on me recently and I want to upgrade to something a little better. After reading reviews the S1283 seems to be a crowd pleaser. There are some questions I have about it though. I can't seem to find any information on whether or not it includes thermal paste or not. I...

I had to recently re-install Windows Vista after my cousin screwed up my PC. However this is only my second time re-installing an OS and I did something I unintentionally meant to do. On my new fresh install of Vista when I go into my C drive, at the bottom of the folders there is a folder...

Today I let my cousin use my PC for the majority of the day while I was out and I've come home to a PC thats FUBAR. He won't tell me what he did or what site he visited because he's scared to death that I'll kill him, which I'm going to do anyways. My initial symptoms were an extremely...

I'm not exactly sure if this is the best place for this question, but its the best spot I could think of. I noticed yesterday when I opened "My Computer" that it was saying my C drive had only 286GB of free space. I haven't really installed anything major lately and last time I could...

I got an AC Freezer Pro 7 for my C2D last June and I swear the thing sounds like its about to die. At times it sounds like it is spinning at a much higher RPM vs. times where it sounds like it it's barely moving. I've been watching the fan over time and it's had to tell with my naked eye if it...

What’s up ladies and gents? I'm having some trouble here. My sweet mom wants a PC that the family can have out in the common area where it can be accessed for some research, used for MS Office, and general web browsing. (Nothing major and def. no gaming) So that’s the small itty bitty background...

I found a solution to my problem. Please delete, thank you.

I just installed Office '03 on my system and I'd like to use Outlook as my main calander. I was curious if it is possible to make Outlook's calander open-up automatically on boot-up when the PC first arrives to windows desktop? I snooped around the menus and couldn't find anything so I thought...

Well.. I think I am another prime example of why people should backup their systems. I just lost practically everything. Its soo fubar. I was using JKDefrag for the second time and before I defragged, I saw an option that I could use where JKDefrag would clear out my temp files etc. Well, I...

I'm not exactly sure where this question should be posted but I thought this would be my best bet. My question/problem is that whenever I turn my PC on from a cold start (leaving if off overnight, turning it on the morning) I get this extremely long beep from what sounds like the case speaker...

I was curious how long it takes you all to boot up on average with Vista. I thought Vista was supposed to boot up faster than XP, but my XP machine boots way faster than my Vista rig does. It takes me with entering my password for my user account about 50seconds.

Hey guys, I got something going on that’s pretty weird in my opinion. I've had my Vista PC up and running for about 2 months now and all of a sudden I noticed that in Internet Explorer, my manufacturer default homepage is www.creative.com :confused: I don't have a single piece of...

Well I just built my first system and things went smoothly. However, I opened up CPU-Z and I noticed some things that seem really odd to me. My system consists of a C2D6600, Corsair DDR2 8500 (PC2-1066), Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R. I haven't touched the BIOS at all. In CPU-Z it says my...

I wanted to order some new games today with the order of PC hardware for my new build. Now, I haven't been playing any new modern game at all recently so I'm sort of out of the loop. The game that I am really familiar with is CounterStrike 1.6 lol. I mean my current PC with a GeForce2 MX...

Hey guys, I'm planning on putting together a system consisting of a C2D6600 (might OC at later time), (1) 320gig harddisk (may expand in future with another drive) , (2) DVD drives, and a 8800gts (may OC) , also I'll probably get a X-Fi I want a modular power supply and I'm thinking of either...

I'm pretty new to the game of purchasing PC hardware over the internet since I'm about to embark on my first build. I was wondering since I am going to wait until the July Intel price cuts for my CPU, do you think or believe it would be a wiser move to wait and purchase an 8800GTS 640meg when...
