ill look into a fan but ya the fans were really dirty also is it true that if you touch any part of the internels you can fry your hardrive from static electricity? i heard you need a shock glove or something i was thinking of hooking up my xbox harddrive to my computer and setting something up

always touch another object before touching your computer to discharge static electricity from your body. There is a number of devices we use in computer and other high tech labs such anti-static mats or wrist strap, but do not think u need that for your computer

i ran into another problem!! okay i use windows movie maker for my amv's i just downloaded the avi codec but i still get this message


The file C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\Bleach 162.avi cannot be imported because the codec required to play the file is not installed on your computer. If you have already tried to download and install the codec, close and restart Windows Movie Maker, and then try to import the file again.

now im not sure who all can help me out but it used to work! now it doesnt and i cant finish my commercials without it!

it means that u do not have the right codec for you video

I have no idea sorry. I know that if you really need an alternative, there is free software that works just like it called OpenOffice.
