Ok another question. As you see in that screen capture, I am out of HD space. Which type of hard drive do I need? What I mean is do I need a 1.5GB/Second or 3GB/Second transfer rate. I think you know what laptop I have but I am just going to tell you again. It is the Dell Inspiron E1505.

You have to do "Save All Information" in the bottom-right first. Then copy/paste data from the text file it generates.

Music Tab: No problems found. Input Tab: No problems found. Network Tab: No problems found. Alright, I don't see any issues there. I used to own a Radeon 9800 Pro graphics card, and let's just say it didn't love me. If I remember correctly my computer started acting a little funny eventually, and upon interior inspection, I noticed the power connector on the end of the 9800 was literally burned and partially melted. So I got the card replaced, and it wasn't long before the same thing happened again. It was at this point I switched over to nVidia and couldn't have been happier. If you know how to open your computer, I'd recommend doing so and seeing if the power connector looks damaged at all.

I don't think the specs Billy has can support Vista so never mind. Billy maybe you should try updating anything that uses video as macromedia, flashplayer, shockwave, etc. Also your card may be defected so you may want to see that. Or you can do a fresh install
