On both my laptop and desktop PCS, the mic on the cams have stopped working in chats?
Tony S asked:
Each PC has different cam/mics and only recently stopped working. All tests show the mics are working fine. Any ideas?

is there a real “universal” recovery/startup disc for emachine desktop PCs?
grotto3b asked:
I feel stupid. I bought a used emachine sold on ebay with no O/S, assuming that the old discs from my emachine that had died would work, which they did not , which was probably why it got dumped on ebay to begin with. Is there such a thing? I have seen them advertised. I’m not an Emachine fan so please don’t bomb me with that again. I’m just trying to “recover”and already looking at new PCs.

How can I use one single keyboard and mouse for two PCs?
Sean A asked:
I have a desktop at home and a notebook for work that I’d like to be able to quickly and conveniently hook up to my monitor, keyboard and mouse. The monitor I know how to, but I’d like to be able to quickly use my input devices with either computer without having to unplug/plug the keyboard and the mouse back and forth.
Any gadget expert got an idea?

Are there special / different power cables to use with servers than desktop PCs?
Where can I find the power cable with the above specs. I tried ebay with not much luck.

Will Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 work with Desktop PC?
starfire asked:
I know the Desktop would have to be bluetooth capable but other than that would it work? The package states Exclusively for Bluetooth Notebook PCs. This was a Christmas gift and I don’t want to open it if it will not work.
