I sent my new computer back because I was having to many problems with it. In the meantime while I'm waiting for another one I hooked my old one back up. I ran this thing called eraser on it (because I didn't think I was going to use it again) and for some reason it starts real slow. It didn't use to. So I tried all the regular things like defragment, disc cleanup, error check, msconfig, and it still starts slow. Is there anything else I can try or am I just out of luck?

Never used one before and was just wondering about anti-virus stuff . Do you need it on other computer (notebook) also or just on the main computer?

Does anybody know why my anti-virus program doesn't respond? I mean I've tried talking to mcafee with no help to my problem.. I mean nothing happens when I click on anything. The icon in the tray or the program on program list itself. Does anybody know what's going on or maybe something to try?

Does anybody know why all the sudden app icons such as Vue, firefox, bryce, etc. go plain?

Just curious.. What has to be done to computer to be able to run Xeon processor?

Will too big of a power supply hurt other things or do they only pull what they need? I want a bigger power supply but the guys at dell says it can only handle 425 watts. At the same time someone else there said it's ok to go bigger & that it won't hurt anything.. Who right? I'm getting kind of tired of them anyway, since everytime I call I get a different answer..Anyway let me know, thanks..

Just got new computer & downloaded tree size and it says 22 gb's used.  Computer drive c says 227 gb's from 283 gb's which is about 56 or 57 gb's used.. Should I be concerned that the tree size reads about 35  gb's less? I tend to trust it as opposed to what drive c says. Anybody know why the difference?

Is there a way to speed up rendering without getting a new computer? I asked the guy at dell If I could install different (better) processor but he said they don't recommend it.,. Any ideas?

Does anybody know what would cause internet to start real slow or is that normal? Probably a couple of minutes...Did virus and spyware scan, nothing came up. So maybe that's normal or something else is wrong...Cable connection..

Everytime I click on lets say documents, two windows open at a time same thing with all windows even internet explorer too. Also when you click a folder you can't open by clicking on it you have to right click then choose open. Some of the buttons work but most don't. And I already did computer scan and no spyware or viruses found..Any suggestions?  Just happened all the sudden...

 Every now and then when I go to save a file or download a file a message comes up saying you need permission from administrator to do this.. I'm listed as administrator under all files & have full control, so I don't get it...When I try to save file again in same place it says replace file & this time it works.. Any suggestions?
