  • Adding a second internal Hard Drive Disk -Help!?

    I'm no noob but this I am not sure about.I purchased a new PC with Windows 7 on it.My old PC has Windows Vista installed and it has a second INTERNAL Hard Drive Disk installed.

    I have a bunch of movies and pictures as well as some video games on it.

    My question is when I take the second Hard Drive (NOT the one containing the operating system) from my Vista computer and instal it in my Windows 7 machine ,will the files show as they were when they were in my old PC?

    In other words , can I do this or does it have to be a clean,blank Hard Drive if I wanted to add it to my new machine?Any help is greatly appreciated!

  • Is it ok for a person to sleep in the same bed with their father/mother at an older age?

    I have a dispute with my g/f about this.She thinks it's OK and 'normal' to let's say spend the night at your parent's house and sleep in the same bed with say your father.I'm 40 years old & my g/f thinks it's ok if I slept with my dad in the same bed (not sexually) but my problem with this is that there is no real reason for me to sleep in the same bed as his.She thinks it's ok and I think it's creepy .I don't see a reason for me to EVER sleep in the same bed with my mom or dad (unless it's some sort of an emergency or crisis) .So what do you guys think? Would you consider this to be a normal behavior ? Please be objective.We are not talking anything sexual.

  • Can this PC play The Sims Social on Facebook?

    My g/f's laptop got messed up.Times are hard so I gave her my old HP Pavilion.The thing is she says she's having a hard time playing The Sims Social with it (on Facebook).

    Now my understanding is The Sims Social is a browser based game which does not require your PC to have the fastest processor , etc.However , she said the game lags and loads kinda slow.

    I've checked her bandwidth speed and she gets a solid 4-5.5 Mbps which is pretty good (for this game anyway)

    So does anyone know if there are actual System Requirements for this game? Here is a breakdown of the PC I gave her.

    HP Pavilion 505n (2004-I know!)

    Windows XP Home Edition

    Base processor and speed:

    Intel Celeron 2.2GHz

    Ram 1 GB DDR

    Hard drive:

    60 GB Ultra DMA

    I'm no dummy when it comes to PCs but I don't know anything about The Sims Social and what to expect.

    Thanks ahead!

  • why is Gmail and Youtube linked?

    It is soooooo annoying! Every time i sign into YouTube and then want to check my Gmail I have to sign outta YouTube first or vice verse.Why did Google set this annoying 'feature' up? It is so stoooopid and it gets on my nerves.If I'm signed into YouTube i shouldn't have to SIGN OUT each and every time I want to check my email at Gmail.

    Does anyone know the reason or even better , does anyone know how to disable this annoying feature!?!?!?!?!?

  • The Matrix (movie) question!!!?

    OK , I've been re-watching the Matrix (who doesn't love this movie).Anyway I was thinking: The machines are basically harvesting humans for energy right ? OK , I'll buy it even though that's not possible.My question is this : they 'grow' humans to produce energy and that's a lot of work in itself but WHY create the matrix than at all?I mean you could have all those humans 'dreaming' or in a comatose state and as long as the humans are artificially kept alive, why go through ALL the trouble of creating the matrix so that people 'think' they are in the real world?Seems like a complete waste of time and effort.Are they suggesting the machines 'care' we have nice 'dreams'? Any thoughts on the subject?

  • Help with buying Internet Radio?

    I'm trying to buy an Internet Radio for my mother.She likes to listen to a lot of Polish radio stations (when I play them for her on my PC)

    My question is this ,does anyone know of a radio which can play ANY station I want?What I mean is a lot of the internet radios I saw online claim they play 18.000 + stations and so on , but can I PHYSICALLY input a URL for whatever station I want to play on my radio?For example if a URL for a radio station I want to hear is http://91.121.103.183:8010/ ,how can I put that into the radio without a keyboard? Are the internet radios on the market pre-programmed with stuff like Pandora and what have your?I don't care about that , I just wanna be able to put in a SPECIFIC URL and choose what I wanna hear.Do you know of any good Internet Radios that allow you to do that?
