How does the hardware of a computer understand binary code?

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

John asked:

I know this maybe hard to answer specifically and fully. Even a general and simple answer would be great here. I’m not sure how the hardware can be told what to do all through 1s and 0s. How can they know 1 is on and 0 is off? How does the binary code touch the hardware, through the operating system, and tell a component what to do?

When setting up my Wireless Adapter the computer will not read it as new hardware! Help?

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Tonya B asked:

When setting up my old desktop for internet, I plug in the little wireless adapter stick. I install the driver, but when plugging in the adapter my computer won’t pick it up as new hardware. When I plug the stick on other computers the computers all say ‘new hardware’ but when plugging it into this one that doesn’t happen. I can’t get it to recognize it’s plugged in.
