Video to DVD help
I am looking to buy a DVD recorder and the 1st thing I would want to do with it is transfer my videos from my old home videos onto DVD.

Laptop Graphics Card question

Looking for a 22" LCD TV
I'm looking for a TV for a bedroom. 22" seems about right. Looking at the ones in various shops the picture quality would ideally have at least an 800:1 contrast and 1680 x 1050 screen. Also the sound needs to be reasonable at low volume (as in no hiss). As a bonus low standby power consumption would be nice. I can't find…

Trojan Removal
Hi folks, ages since I have been on the site - I hope someone can help! My son has a laptop and seems to have picked up a trojan - Ntoskrnl. One effect of the trojan is that he can't connect to the internet, so fixing it is problematic. The Free trial Macafee on the laptop says it is fixing it, but it is still there when…
