Computer question....

How can I tell if I have SATA plugs on my motherboard?

I've seen the Wiki entry and the picture they show but I can't see anything like that in my machine.

I have only looked at it while it's still in my desk but I don't see a SATA port.

I ask because I am considering the purchase of a Blu-Ray player for my PC.

The disc drive in my machine now plugs into the "system board" with the parallel type plug.

I notice that there are a few red and blue ports available but they look like female plugs while the picture I saw looks like the ones on the mother board are supposed to be male.

Does anybody know what I should be looking for?

    Well at first I thought what I had was an Office 2007 problem. I can't get any saved documents to open, Word won't load at all, Excel will open a new workbook, but nothing that has been saved, same with Powerpoint.

    When I called Microsoft for a fix the technician attempted to do a remote link to look at my system, but the program for remote viewing wouldn't comletely load either.

    I was walked through a complete un-install of Office through the regedit function, reloaded Office and still no go.

    Other .exe are being blocked from loading as well. I attempted a download of Norton updates and get to the last second of running the .exe file and the system goes into a continous "download" loop.

    Has anyone had this happen to them and if so what was the fix short of throwing the CPU out the window?

    I am running XP in case that makes a diff.

    Not unless the picture on the web page links to a larger photo. You can zoom the entire web page though. Or you can "right click" the picture and save it to your PC then blow it up with your own software.

    Using Firefox hold the control key and press the plus sign (next to backspace, not on the number pad). Control and 0 sets it back to default, control and minus zooms out.

    Control +/-, control scroll wheel all work.

    Control 0 (zero) to return to 100% (normal view) screen. [;)]

    For internet explorer, it is ctrl and + or - at the same time. So, to zoom it would be CTRL and +.
