Are Computer Engineers still around or have they all been outsourced? I want to get a PhD in the field.how is the salary and future outlook? I want to be a computer hardware engineer

First, I think I've only sucessfully installed it once and that was with Utubu (did I spell that right) latest program that installes like a program on Windows. Second, my networking hardware is never recognized (even by microsoft) and the only way I know how to get them installed is by downloading the data from the manufacture. I don't know how to deal with a download meant for Microsoft in Linux.

you help me with these things? my networking hardware is just the stuff that came on my laptop the wireless and the port) It is a dell laptop and by downloading off dell is the only way I can get that stuff to work I did some rather stupid things (read my other questions to find out what) so I really don't want to do wubi if I can help it.

Ok I have an Sata and the old serial hard drive hooked up into the computer of mine. My bois sees the new 250 gig hard drive and windows found it in the “found new hardware section” But it doesn't show in my “My computer” section so I can start dumping stuff to it and free up some space.

am I doing wrong. I went to the bios and told it to use both Serial and Sata. My sata is the the primary. I know this is lacking info so just say what and I'll update.

Up to now My USB cable was working and I was transferring files from my PC to N 73.

today a message is appearing that Windows can't recognize the attached hardware component.

help me to solve this problem if you can.

you.

Ok, I'm having huge problems with my computer. I dont know if i should just cut my loses and buy a new one or take it to a computer specialist.

computer is about 3 years old, and it is constantly crashing saying something about a recent hardware might of caused this. it still says this even though there is no software on my computer. I no longer have my original cd's for the computer, so I had to reformat the computer with a disk from my old computer.

after reformatting it, it still crashes saying the stuff about a recent hardware change. Also, everytime I turn my computer on, it says press f1 to start it and that theres gonna be a failure on the hard drive. I really need a computer that works, so Im unsure if taking it to a specialist will fix it.

help is greaty appreciated.

I have a toshiba laptop with windows xp home edition. a few months ago I started having problems with my sound.

I start the computer the windows theme song skips and crackles. It also does this when I play music or any type of video. I tried lowering my hardware acceleration and checked for new drivers but nothing helps.

I have a Dell Dimension 5100 with integrated Sigma Tel Audio hardware. I recently upgraded to Vista, and have dealt with the driver issue. According to the Device Manager, my sound card is working properly. My speaker is plugged into the correct jack; however, my computer is telling me that there is “No Audio Output Device installed”. Is my sound card just dead. If so, what kind should I buy

it says it is due to a hardware and software problem that i have added but i haven't added anything can someone please help me fix this or tell me how to restore my computer to remove everything off so it will work again?

Here is what I mean: When I start a game Max Payne 2,I'm given an option to play using D3D Software T&L or D3D Hardware T&L. The game would crash with the hardware option,but play perfect,even on highest resolution and graphics with the software option.I'm wandering if anyone knows if its possible to play,say,GTA San Andreas that way. It keeps crashing,actually,restarting my computer.

help and information is much appreciated.
