transplant a computer?

I love my VAIO (PCV-RS720G) but I'd prefer it in a new box, one with a few more open drive bays and a side fan. Would it be as easy as it seems to just unplug everything and slide it all into a new box? What problems might I run into? I've built frankenputers out of several old systems before so tra...

CDrom monitor?

My new Sony VAIO is great, but there are no activity lights for the two DVDRoms for me to see when the DVDRoms are spinning. I'm looking for a free program that would put those lights in my taskbar and they would maybe change colors (or blink or something) when one of the drives is in use. I've seen...

USB JumpDrive problems

I had one of those USB JumpDrives for a while and it worked great, before I put it through the washing machine and dryer in a pair of jeans. The drive itself still seems to work fine on another computer (running WinXP), and the drive still shows in "my computer" but I cannot access anythin...

Nope, I wish it was something like that, that I had overlooked, but unfortunately not. Thanks though.

Yeah, I was also hoping it would be something like that, but I double checked the speaker and computer volume and made sure mute was off early on. Thanks though.

Everything in Control Panel looks fine in both Multimedia and Sounds. That's what is so frustrating, everything looks good but it still doesn't work.
Thanks thought,

In multimedia settings the preferred devices are ESS AudioDrive which is the drivers that came with the new sound card I just downloaded the newest version of Winamp (like five minutes ago) and the output plug-ins that came with the new version are: waveOut output v2.0.2a [OUT_WAVE.DLL] Nullsoft Dis...

no sound

I have a second computer in my study that I use as an MP3 player. I recently moved the hard drive into a faster system (an old Presario 5441 running Win98). After updating the drivers it seemed to be running great until I discovered it was not making any sounds at all. I've installed a new sound car...
