Electrical with ungrounded and grounded outlets with computer and home theater?

Just moved into an apt in a house (tenant) - never thought to look at the outlets. They're all Type A 2 prong ungrounded outlets. Don't think the landlord on fixed income will hire an electrician. Need to run my computer and my home theater (different outlets). How can I do it when all cables are grounded and all surge protectors are grounded. Any answers?

You can bond the ground to the common, but it sound like the electrical is old. I recomend getting a small UPS to condition the power. It;s like a surge strip on steroids, and well worth it.

you can change the outlets to three prong type and connect the common to the third ( gnd ) . Be sure to use the common , not the hot wire .
