My daughters PC will not start up. When we turn it on, it gives a continuous beep-beep-beep... Not sure what to do about it. Any suggestions or should I take it to Best Buy or something? Thanks

I'm planning a long canoe trip down the Red River. I'm wanting to put in at the Texoma dam near Dension, TX, and I'm planning on taking out in Alexandria, LA.

I have not been able to find much information on the river between Bonham, TX and Shreveport, LA. The rest of the river seems to be navigable. Anyone have experience with the other parts of this river?

Thanks

We're doing some remodeling and want to put in a walk-in closet. We should be able to go about 9'-10' deep, and maybe 3' wide. The door will be on the end. Any inputs? Think this will be wide enough? I want to make sure it is useful, and not too crowded trying to get in there. Thanks!

I'm looking at a computer with Ubuntu Linux. I've always used Windows products in the past. Is this Linux user friendly for someone whose never used it or should I get XP?

Thanks

This car has 250,000 miles, but it seems to run alright. The body is straight but needs paint. The interior is trashed. The guy is asking less than $1000 for it. I figured that if I can get him down to $750 it would be a decent purchase. Thoughts?

I'm thinking about a canoe trip on the Red River from Lake Texoma on the Texas/Oklahoma border, all the way to the Mississippi River.

I haven't been able to find much information on the Red River from Lake Texoma to Texarkana, can anyone help?

I bought a used Pelican Navigator canoe. I'm pretty sure it's missing a piece. Is there supposed to be a bar that goes from the cross bar in the center of the boat down to the floor? If anyone has a good picture of inside the boat that would be cool. Thanks!

My 2000 Neon is smoking from the exhaust after start-up. It's white/gray smoke. It's not condensation, it happens any time of the day. It is not losing any oil or water.

The dealer looked at it and said there were no codes, and they didn't see smoke, so they said it's fine.

Oh, and it seems to be running fine, so this one has me perplexed. Any ideas?

I think I need some donkeys to pull my firewood. I'm talking about pulling cut logs, 5-8' long, and up to 2' in diameter. It is in a heavily wooded area, where I can't get a vehicle. What kind of donkey do I need?

I'm installing a new ring and pinion, and can't seem to find the torque specs for the ring gear anywhere. This is on a GM 10 bolt (8.5") rear axle.

I need to regear my 10-bolt. I'm mechanically inclined, and will have a book soon. I've never done this job before, is it something I should try?

My lab broke his toenail. Actually his dew claw. Anyways, it didn't break all the way through and is still attached. It is broken close to the skin and is causing him pain. What should I do?
