this?  Whizzing noise only appears when page

since day one, I'd been using a USB wireless mouse. But today I took the PS/2
wired mouse from my Dimension 3000 and tried to plug it into the port at the
back right of the Vostro laptop. It doesn't fit, though it looks like it should.
Then I tried a wireless Logitech with PS/2 ...

I had to reinstal XP Pro and somehow managed to lose the onboard sound. I've
tried reinstalling drivers but no joy.
Device managers shows that SoundMax drivers are installed but it also shows
a Multimedia Audio controller as having no drivers.

I have a basic 8400 that I haven't updated.  It runs with a 19" Dell

I've got a several year old M70 (2.00 ghz with 2 GB RAM). It definitely
clogs up with all the applications starting up. The first five minutes
the mouse may freeze due to all the updating, virus checking, pulling up

I updated the BIOS and the CD/DVD driver on my XPS-M1330
laptop last night.  Now whenever the PC is started up, there is a
loud BZZZ-BZZZZT at the start of the BIOS's POST stage.  It's

Got some interesting old hardware recently for cheap, as in free.  
One system was an original Dell XPS 100MHz Pentium system in a desktop case.
This is the one that used a baby AT sized board cobbled up with an ATX-line
