And are there any risks if I do re-install? And how do I re-install anyway?

Alright, connector looks fine. Based on the specs I'm guessing you've had this computer a long time, right? Eventually issues have a tendency to just start popping up out of nowhere, and reinstalling Windows can fix a lot of those. It's how I keep my desktop running as fast as possible. Cool, I am going to ask you something about my other desktop once I take some screen photos

You can only reinstall if you have the OS disk. You put the disc in while the computer is booting up, then click "boot from disc" and install using the steps on screen. Note, you will need a copy of all drivers

So if you don't have a way to back up everything you need it's probably not worth it. To actually reinstall Windows you'll need the Windows disk that most likely came with your computer.

Ah, I should probably stop you guys there- I don't have any of my disks for the computer, my uncle has those all in Vancouver. And I highly doubt he's coming out until at least the Summer.

Is your computer custom built? Good Question. Rob asked me the same one awhile ago and I can honestly say I don't know the answer to it. My Uncle, who gave me the computer, is a computer engineer so he plays around with them and puts in different stuff. So I guess you could say its custom built. I just don't know how much is custom.

Well Basically if you can't identify a brand on it (Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc.) It is custom built.

And Rishi, The tower SAYS its an Asus Chassis. but I doubt it.. I actually found the one that looks the same on the ASUS Website. but again, its doctored so I dunno.

I've got some videos in 3G2 form and I need them into a more usable format (AVI etc). I've searched up converters but none of them are working for me (Well one did but it leaves a watermark). A lot of them say it works for 3GP and it might but whenever I use it with my 3G2 video it doesn't work and just makes a blank file in AVI.

I personally use super and it's never let me down so far.
