Questions About Your Display Settings

How do I change my screen resolution? You can change your screen resolution by either right-clicking the desktop and selecting Properties, or by going into the control panel and clicking the Display icon. You will then click the Settings tab. In Vista, you will find the monitor settings under the Personalization icon, then the monitor tab.

Next, look for the slider bar that says Resolution. Be careful not to set the resolution too high, as older monitors may not be able to handle the resolution and could possibly go black. If this happens, do nothing, as Windows will usually revert the resolution back after 15 seconds without a response from you. Typical resolutions are 800X600 or 1024X768. If you have a widescreen monitor, you can even try 1280x768.

Questions About Email

Can I use Outlook or Outlook Express instead of my ISP's mail client?
Yes, you can usually use any Email program in place of your ISP's mail client as long as you know or can find out the mail settings they use. For instance, if you want to configure Outlook Express to use with your Comcast email, just setup a new account in Outlook Express and input the proper POP3 and SMTP settings when asked. Comcast uses mail.comcast.net for POP3 and smtp.comcast.net for their SMTP settings.

Should I go wireless or wired on my network?
If you are in near proximity to your router or modem, then you should go with a wired network. While there may be no real speed advantage, there are security risks when going with a wireless network setup.

Do I need a router?
If you only have one PC in the house then, no, you do not need a router. If you have two or more PCs, then we recommend a router because they are pretty inexpensive and also help secure your internal network from snoops by providing Network Address Translation (NAT). NAT means the router has an external IP address provided by your ISP and then provides your internal network with an internal IP address, such as 192.168.1.2. This means the outside world cannot "see" the internal computers.

Questions About Power Supplies

My power supply fan isn't moving. Can I replace it?
You can if you have experience working with a soldering iron, but we advise against it because the fan may not even be the source of the problem. It's also dangerous. You can easily replace the entire PSU for very little money.

Our computer's power supply has failed. What type should I get?
You'll probably find your power supply is a standard ATX power supply with a single 20-pin connector to the motherboard. You should replace it with one of equal or greater wattage. Spending more on a power supply with greater wattage will not improve performance, just allow you to run more devices. Computer Repair in Fort Lauderdale will replace it for you right away.

What exactly is Spyware?
The loose definition of Spyware is any program that monitors your computing behavior and reports back to a "home base." The purpose of this is usually to serve you ads. As a result, Spyware often breaks your system because it attempts to change system settings, such as your browser homepage.

How Much Memory Do I need To Run Vista? Microsoft Wants at least 512 MB of RAM to run Vista. But to take advantage of the Windows Aero User Experience, you should have at least 1 Gig of RAM. The more memory your PC has, the better it will run with Vista.
