What did you do with your PC when you bought a new iMac?

When I bought the MacBook I kept it running to store extra stuff, and easy access to windows. I%26#039;m buying an iMac here in a few months, I may donate it to somebody I know who needs one, or a church.

My pc getting hanged for every 5 mins?
It sounds like your processor cooling fan is not working. Change it .
My pc getting hanged for every 5 mins?
could be your hard drive
Reply:must be a hardware problem, cause even after you have reinstalled your OS if the problem is still persisting, it gotta be your mother board. Some inter and sis motherboards have this unique problem of freezing up due to their power regulator chip failures..in such a scenario i might suggest get your motherboard checked and if required replaced to solve your problem. Try using some benchmark softwares on your pc..they might be able to point the problem out.!
Reply:you got to check the fans inside the cpu. the one for the power supply box, the other above the processor. if these two are not working properly then you got to change them.Good luck
Reply:ok. u can repair this computer and shut down properly
Reply:Well my friend, i think you should discuss this matter regarding your pc with a sotware engineer, he%26#039;ll surely help you out, %26amp; get you rid of all such problems.
Reply:There could be some virus which affects the MBR. If the virus is in the MBR probably formatting will not some times clean it. Try to take it to the vendor and get some help from the experts!
Reply:Check the Power Settings in the %26quot;Control Panel%26quot; folder there will be power management change the settings to %26quot; Never %26quot; from 5 minutes , 10 minutes options ....click %26quot;apply%26quot; and click %26quot;OK%26quot;


Now it will never hanged..

Can you put the lid down on a laptop with it all switched on?

yes it will make the laptop go to sleep.
Can you put the lid down on a laptop with it all switched on?
Yes you can
Can you put the lid down on a laptop with it all switched on?
You CAN, but what happens when you do that depends on the laptop. Most of them will just go to sleep, but every once in a while you%26#039;ll find one that doesn%26#039;t.
Reply:Yes you can. You can even configure the laptop to NOT go to sleep when the lid is down. It%26#039;s all in the control panel, power options :)

Reply:It will go into sleep mode. The screen blacks out like when you have turned it off.
Reply:A lot of people do just that but I really believe that you should get into the proper habit of shutting down in the usual way so that the system goes through self analysis to check that all is OK just as it does when you start up. For some reason, I suppose people just close the laptop for laziness and thinking it will be quicker to get going again when they lift the lid up again. You can%26#039;t do better than get into the right (perhaps old fashioned habits) of turning on and off properly and then turning off at the mains - think energy conservation but more importantly think safety!!

Does deletion of the hidden recovery partition void warranty?

I have an Asus F8Sr laptop that I bought about two weeks ago. I tried to install Visual Studio 2005 into my Vista OS. It turns out that Visual Studio 2005 isn%26#039;t compatible with Vista. So I tried rolling back the installation to no avail. Finally, I resorted to using the recovery disk that was bundled with my laptop to fix the problem. It recovered my system but I cannot play games anymore because there is something wrong with my windows experience index. To think that my current specs are Core2Duo T8100, 3GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 2400. I tried installing a fresh copy of Vista, not the recovery version. After installation, it gives an error window that says %26quot;Cannot find recovery.dat%26quot;. I tried everything to make my games work (also windows aero). I believe that the reason why there is an error in my system is because of the hidden recovery partition. Can anyone help me with my problem?
Does deletion of the hidden recovery partition void warranty?
YES
Does deletion of the hidden recovery partition void warranty?
The warranty valid for hardware not the software. They can fix it for you, but probably you have to pay for them. My suggestion is use XP Pro with Service Pack 3. Vista is dead end!!

I%26#039;m not really sure any kind of cleaner is recommended for keyboards.Most people turn them upside down and shake them to get the worst out.Then use a vacuum and a damp cloth to clean the keys.
Reply:silicone keyboard cover, you can just scrub it in the sink when it gets dirty, and those magic erasers are highly abrasive even though you wouldn%26#039;t notice, it would take the letters off of the keys over time.
Reply:The magic eraser %26quot;thing%26quot; uses water to be effective. Woulldn%26#039;t recommend it for use on any part of your computer - using water with electrical circuits not a particularly good idea. Would prefer the silicone cover. Less danger.





I live in Northern Ireland and work with computers a lot. If I wanted something similar I would probably go to my local IT store or PC specialist who would be able to give me first-hand info on what to use. I%26#039;m sure you live close to someone like that in NZ.

What are some good laptops for teens?

It HAS to be under $500-$600.And if you are only here to say laptops are not for kids , then don%26#039;t answer.And it would be good if it has a long battery life.And I might get a MacBook but doesn%26#039;t it have a game deficiency ?
What are some good laptops for teens?
I you are looking for playing games buy a P4 duo core 2 laptop with AGP built in memory min 512 MB
What are some good laptops for teens?
Do not get a MacBook. Horrible first time laptop to own. And like you said, cant really play games on there either. I would look at what is on sale at Circuit City/Best Buy. I bought my laptop a year ago from Best Buy for about $600. Depending on what type of games you want to play, you will need to make sure that that laptop has a dual core processor, a decent amount of ram, and a good graphics card.
Reply:http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?...





For that price, you won%26#039;t get a much better laptop.


This one can run everything, but it%26#039;s not a very good gaming laptop. Can run the simpliest games though.





PS: For under 600 dollars you can%26#039;t get a laptop which can run games very well.


My cd drive isn't working?

I just bought a Dell Inspiron 1525 a week ago and the cd rom drive worked fine until today. Whenever I insert a cd or dvd, it says %26quot;Insert a disc.%26quot; I don%26#039;t know what the problem is. I checked the device and it said it was fine.
My cd drive isn%26#039;t working?
Hmm, hard to say. Could be a defective drive most likely... your best bet would be to call Dell directly, you are definately under warrantly still...
My cd drive isn%26#039;t working?
the problem is likely caused by either the drive being faulty, or the lens being dirty. another possible fault is that you have a virtual disk drive installed and your accidentally clicking that instead of the actual drive, or the actual drive has become hidden, in that case, whoever installed it and didnt tell you about needs a clout round the head (if the lens is dirty after a week, there%26#039;s something wrong going on too) but definitely get dell on the phone, shouldn%26#039;t be having problems with anything this soon
Reply:My recommendation is to contact Dell Support. The %26quot;Insert a disc%26quot; behaviour does indicate some sort of hardware failure with the drive.





The drive can still be responding to some system requests, which would allow the computer to *think* it was fine, but the reality is that it doesn%26#039;t read discs.





If I recall correctly, all Inspiron Support is handled outside of North America. I have had much better luck with communicating with Inspiron Support Reps via Dell%26#039;s Chat Support. You can initiate a chat here:

Nvidia & ati respective pros & cons?

i heard frm someone say dat nvidia focus on speed or fps and ati focus on image quality.. is it really true???
Nvidia %26amp; ati respective pros %26amp; cons?
NO
Nvidia %26amp; ati respective pros %26amp; cons?
not so much focus, it used to be the case that ati had better image quality in cards from similar lines, but recently theres very little difference, Quite simply, if you have the money to burn, go nvidia, if your on a budget, go ati, generally an nvidia card will perform better, but in some cases you can crossfire two ati cards for the same price for better performance (by about 2-5%, not really worth the hassle, good for bragging rights) for the most part nvidia have better drivers. exception, for a laptop, go ati, they still support a lot of their laptop graphics cards while nvidia support none and you have to get third party drivers that may or may not work
Reply:from my experience and personal tests of multiple products from each company neither company has pros and cons but rather strong points in different areas.





Nvidia has really drivers and excellent software support. i have found that their products depend heavily on the quality of the driver.





ATI has extremely beefy hardware however their drivers leave something to be desired. their products often go months at a time needing serious stability updates. when they do release new versions however new capabilities and power is often realized from old equipment.





about 5 years ago i would have said ATI all the way because Nvidia lagged behind for a while. now, i would tell you to go with the one that fits your budget because they are pretty equal.

Yes itz too much. this laptop will support only 2 GB
I have an Acer Travelmate 4200 laptop, it came with 512mb of RAM, I bought 4 GB of new Ram,is this too much?
no such thing as too much RAM especially for proffessional work-loads for things like animation/ audio mixing/Motion picture/video editing/gaming..





if it won%26#039;t all fit in your computer.. get a new system! :)





A computer generation lasts only 4-6 months and computers should be replaced every 2 years anyway.. 4 or 5 generations before they are worthless and completely outdated!





My G5 tower can take up to 8gigs of RAM.. I have 4 in now and I could use more.. but I use my computer for rendering proffesional CGI and for editing and mixing/mastering feature length films.. rendering takes huge amounts of RAM and so does running multiple programs at the same time like ProTools, Avid, DVDStudio Pro and Aftereffects as an example for an average workload..

just get a cooler pad to it ( if you want so )


dell is so good so common and it%26#039;s prices are good





and to those who say mac


i wouldn%26#039;t pay twice the price for the same specifications and the same intel processor


if it is about security and stability get linux


because mac is a unix- based linux disrto%26#039;s are unix-like


by the way bsd and solaries are also unix and they are all free


more then free most of the afformentioned are open source

if you have a registry key that points to null after uninstallation then it will slow you pc a little bit that you won%26#039;t know it


if you have 4o of these keys %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; do the math





also if you want to make performance better go to

uncheck most of these unless what you need to startup with





windows is a big resources waster if may i ask how much ram do you have ?





also windows is unstable so if you want good performance format ans install it every couple of months


or take a ghoust backup just after installation and restore your system .





if you want better performance you may also switch to linux


you will find disto%26#039;s which fit your needs more then winndows


if you have 128 ram and weak pc go one of mini linuxes


if you like designing and graphic go one of linux studios

just right click on the %26#039;my documents%26#039; folder and select copy





then put your flash drive into the computer





go to %26#039;my computer%26#039; and then to your flash drive





right click in the folder and select paste

Can i put more ram in my laptop? I have a compaq presario c774?

is it possible to put more ram in my compaq presario c774? its currently got 1GB, but i want to put more in, maybe 2GB? i know i have to find out what kind and how much it can take, but its all pretty complicated, can someone tell me?





any idea were i can get ram and how much it costs (in australia?)





Also ive heard that putting more ram in your laptop can make it get really hot, if i added more ram would i be running the risk of burning up my laptop and killing it?
Can i put more ram in my laptop? I have a compaq presario c774?
It is absolutely possible to upgrade your internal RAM. It may make it warmer to the touch but the computer will be fine. My macintosh laptop gets so hot I can%26#039;t have it on my lap, even with jeans on.. Sometimes macintosh cables melt themselves, but Mac says it%26#039;s normal wear and tear..





If the computer isn%26#039;t warm I%26#039;d be more concerned than if it was. Machines radiate heat, a by product of their operational status. so maybe, the more heat its putting out the better its working?

Go to http://www.crucial.com/ and use their system scanner tool - it will tell you what type of RAM you need, and how much your system can take.





This site will give you an idea of Australian costs :-

As far as putting extra RAM in a laptop making it run hot, I%26#039;ve not heard of that one. It may cause wierd rebooting/freezing issues if you put in mismatched RAM though.
Reply:Hi


Yes you can insert more ram in your model max is 2GB. This should not overheat your machine as long as you keep the fans free from dust. Click this link for your computer specs.http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/docum...


If you download this article with Adobe reader this will explain how to fit the extra ram.


http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01...


Make sure you get the same spec ram module that you already have installed.


Try ebay you will get idea of prices there and possibly a good deal.


Good Luck


Where can i get a good quality desktop suggest me a good brand?

if its got a brand it cant really be called %26quot;good%26quot; these companies mass produce their products with cheap parts and when it comes to your computer not being up to scratch they can be nearly impossible to upgrade. self built is best, if your not confident, by all means go for a brand, I would recommend dell, only because they are quite large and have a good returns policy etc. as well as you can buy from them direct, if youve won the lottery, look up voodoo custom pc, not so cheap parts, amazing machines, but costs an absolute fortune.

If its a PS2 mouse (the green adapter at the end) you have to plug it in then restart your computer as its not plug and play, but if its a USB then it should work straight away as that is plug and play.

Back-up your important files and try to re-format your hard disk using a bootable windows operating system installer. If you cannot do it on your own. Look for someone who is knowledgeable in computer formatting because you will be needed to reinstall the drives and programs.

Just get a laptop with 2gb ram and if possible get a dual-core processor. These two are easily available under 40-50k and it would be sufficient. Vista works great if you have both of these so it wont be any problem. Otherwise Xp is great anyways.
Reply:lenovo Y series laptop is gud option
Reply:Go with HP / Dell costs around 45k--48k and go with 2Gb Ram 160+ HDD and duel core processor.


Now a days its coming preloaded with VISTA, but It is not that user friendlyand takes moreeeeeee soace as compared with XP.


If you wish to load XP, 1st you have to take a recovery of your present vista preloaded copy and then you have to format it for loading XP.


without taking backup plz dont format again you dont get VISTA (else you have to pay Rs. 7000/- for vista).


so make shure you dont format until you take recovery disks (2 DVDS) are required for vista backup.

I think i have deleted the administrator account on my laptop and now i cant access the things i need to?

Can you go into Items sent,,,Or Trash Bin,,,,,Sometimes they stay there ,,for a While,,,
I think i have deleted the administrator account on my laptop and now i cant access the things i need to?
On the welcome screen, press CTRL+ALT+DEL two times and then log in as %26quot;Administrator%26quot; with no password.
I think i have deleted the administrator account on my laptop and now i cant access the things i need to?
It is unlikely you have deleted the account as it would not let you. To do it you would have to be logged in as as an administrator which would therefore leave you with a working admin account (the one you used to delete the administrator account). Also in some operating system versions you can%26#039;t even access the administrator account for security reasons. (Mainly Vista or networked XP on a domain)





It is more likely you deleted the files assoicated with the admin account? (Though again unless you are using an admin account you would not get access or permissions to do it)





What OS are you using? Vista or XP.





If you deleted the files check the recycle bin?





Go to start, control panel, users and create a new account with admin rights if needed. While in the users section it will list all the accounts you have active, one should be administrator, though only if you have the admin rights to see it.





Failing that boot into safe mode. Reboot the PC and press F8 while it%26#039;s loading up (usually just before the scolling bar screen) till you get a list of commands, one of which is safe mode. That will let you log in as administrator and that will also recreate the document folders you might have lost. (Safe mode has limited functions so limit what you do in there)





Not sure what extra help to offer without knowing more about it. Your laptop come with a recovery disk from the makers?
Reply:Hi Tracy.





Win Xp has to have 1 active admin account, so if you don%26#039;t have it .. someone else has .





Just to make sure have a look at the user accounts in the control panel folder just to see if you have deleted this account and to see who has the remanding admin account.





Get the remanding administrator to upgrade your account to the same level .. and this should help or fix your problem

um my computer has been so slow this past two days!


one night i was just looking at pictures online (not porn ok)


and then it just started to get slow so i turned it off

Run a scan with your anti-virus and your anti-spyware.Spyware will slow it down considerably but to be safe, do both scans.

If this proplem contineus,try to remove some progs or set up new windows.
Reply:Run a virus scan or try to reboot ur pc.........
Reply:inexpensive way is to scan for viruses, if found delete them, try to have as less app as possible, format the os, expensive way new chip.
Reply:You have a trojan or virus. Just because it is not porn does not mean you can%26#039;t pick one up. Go to the link below and download Spyware Doctor and Norton security scan. Install,update, and run full system scans. After running the Norton security scan, get a good anti-virus program such as Norton (if willing to pay) or AVG or avast ( if want free).


Next go to download.com and get Ccleaner and ZoneAlarm firewall.


After installing Ccleaner, run it using the registry cleaner first and then the regular cleaner last.


Install ZoneAlarm firewall.


This should help your problem. Also make sure that you update Spyware Doctor daily and schedule it to do quick scan daily and full scan weekly.

Hope it speeds up x
Reply:Perform the following steps. I confidently say it will make a difference (you can also right-click My Computer and go to Properties to see how much space you have left. In Vista, you can see it is Computer directly):





Delete programs and files and organize - Use Add or Remove Programs to delete unwanted programs from the computer. Then browse to My Documents or just Documents and delete unecesarry files and organize the computer up. Make categories and sort your files. Do this for other folders too.





Clean up - Use Disk Cleanup in Accesorries or download the good CCleaner and clean your computer up.





Delete registry - Use CCleaner to delete the registry and speed up.





Faster searching - Allow Vista to index your files to enable faster searching. Well, you cannot stop it also. But don%26#039;t tamper around with it in the Control Panel or anywhere.





Update - Update your drivers and update to the latest Service Pack to make it faster as ever. Vista has SP1 as the highest one available and XP has SP2. Windows Classics have got to update upto SP4 or SP5.





***After all this, it is recommended to clean up the computer and delete registry again.***





Now check the hard drive space again. It has increased, isn%26#039;t it? I wrote it myself, honest!








This answer (written by me) has already been chosen as the best answer, and gave optimum results to the asker (I copy-pasted it). You may see the proof here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

My computer turns on but doesn't boot and the monitor doesn't turn on?

I think i may have some kind of virus on my computer.





At first it started out with just the screen flashing, but now it has gotten worse. When I turn the computer on the green and red lights on the box (tower) stay on constantly and the monitor does not turn on, even for a second. So i cant see the first bit of startup on the screen (or anything for a matter of fact).





I am (was) running Windows XP with service pack 3.

If the monitor doesn%26#039;t even load of a second, then that might be your problem. Check the connections and if you have another monitor plug that inot the computer to see if that%26#039;s what%26#039;s causing the problem.

It could be a virus.Try what I just said,if you can get it in safe mode, you can run a virus scan.


If it%26#039;s still under warranty, take it back where you got it.I%26#039;d say the motherboard went bad.If it was the hard drive, your monitor would still work.That%26#039;s why nothing is working at all,the hard drive won%26#039;t boot and the video won%26#039;t work,the MOBO went bad.
Reply:You may have hit a button on the monitor that puts it in an incompatible mode. There is probably a %26quot;Reset%26quot; default button on the monitor...find it and use it. If this doesn%26#039;t work, go back and completely check over the connections on your computer. It might be something simple, but it could also be a fried PSU.

Reply:|What type of monitor is it? Is it a cathode ray, or an LCD? The flashing light could signify that something physically happened to the monitor which caused the fluorescent tubes to go out (if it%26#039;s an LCD.) See if you can get another monitor to test out on that computer. If the new monitor works, then something is definitely wrong with the other one.

Reply:From these specs you should not have a problem playing these games, your system exceeds the minimum recommended statistics for each game, the only problem I forsee is if you try playing them on battery power only, the 6cell battery only has about 60-90minutes of usage per charge when running vista and graphics intensive programs like games. You might want to make sure you carry around your AC charger, or leave it plugged in when you are playing games on it. Unfortunately the largest battery Dell sells for their machines is a 9 cell and even it doesn%26#039;t last as long as the durational rating Dell says. Vista and other graphic intensive programs chew up battery power quickly, generally the battery will last less than half of its listed rating.

Go to MS and download-install the latest DirectX version for your Windows version.


When you do that remove your VGA drivers, run a good regcleaner like RegVac, reboot and install either the latest drivers or if you already had them, simply re-install them.

Dvd rom sound problems....breaking-scratchy sound??

My laptop Dell Latitude D620 was and still is working perfectaly fine...until last night...I was watching a DVD and all of the sudden the sound started to break...like making a %26quot;scratch%26quot; sound...the image and everything else its perfect, the sound and music from the internet and files comes out perfect, its just when i play something in the dvd/cd drive....so i bought one of those Lense Cleaners....and i%26#039;ve being playing a several times already and you know they come with music and when starts playing i can hear the %26quot;scratchy-breaking%26quot; sound while the music starts playing and after a minute sounds good and clean...then I play a regular dvd/cd and the sounds keeps coming out %26quot;breaking-scratchy%26quot; again...


What should I do?? Should I keep cleaning it??


Is there a solution?? Is it going to be expensive???

Are Acer notebooks any good?

Can anyone suggest a good notebook brand and specs for architectural rendering programs like cad, viz, max, photoshop, etc. that is affordable and reliable. thanks
Are Acer notebooks any good?
Stay away from Acer





u can try Hp and Dell but dont take acer





in terms of reliability hp is best!!


y dont u check hp.com and see the recommended pavilion configs!! they are good and have quite some offers going rite now!!
Are Acer notebooks any good?
acer are reasonable, but to run cad and the like, you need to stop looking at brands per se and look at the graphics cards in the laptops, as well as the installed memory, something with an integrated nvidia 8800 would do the job (needs to have a fast processor too, but generally with a graphics card like that, it will be) reliable? most reliable computer on earth would be one that breaks down at the same time every day so you could plan your work around it, go for a company with a reliable return/repair/service. I%26#039;m not saying a lesser laptop wouldnt run the programs, but a laptop will never be the graphical powerhouse the equivolent desktop is, no matter what the hype. affordability and graphically intensive programs dont mix too well im afraid
Reply:yes acer are good, i replced my dell with an acer and its much better!!!





i use mine mostly for cad and photoshop. as it is my job. i would highly recommend acer!!!!
Reply:Acer ranks among the world%26#039;s top five branded PC vendors and their product range includes PC notebooks and Desktops, servers and storage systems, monitors, peripheral devices, digital devices, LCD TVs and e-business solutions for business, Government, Education and home users.





Acer has four notebook lines out currently: Aspire, Extensa, Ferrari, and TravelMate.





It exceeded expectations in style and usability. It had everything people wanted and more. The look of the product was very professional, and the spend on it is worth and is perfect. Would definately recommend Acer products.
Reply:Acer aspire 4720ZNWXMi Laptop is reliable and affordable as it comes with 14.1 inche screen, intel pentium dual-core processor, 1 GB DDR2 RAM, 160 GB hard disk and DVD writer. You can also get 1 year warranty if you check out open2save.in for this product.

What motherboard to buy?!?

i wanted to buy asus rampage formula but it looks quite old .but it has some nice specs in it.what do u think ? i want ddr 2 and 1600 fsb but the only setback is because of the x 48 chip (CROSSFIRE) i wanted to go with an sli board but i heard you could use 1 nvidia card with a crossfire enabled board.so i may as well put 1 geforce 9800gx2 in there.so do you think rampage formula has any cons and please specify them .thanks
What motherboard to buy?!?
you should get an msi it doesn%26#039;t matter witch one cuase there a very good brand i had an old computer that had a msi and it ran for 7 years and still running
What motherboard to buy?!?
First off, you do not need to buy an MSI board. Asus is an excellent brand as well. I have been running a K8V with a Core2Duo E6850 for quite a while now and am still satisfied with the board.





Do you really need an SLI setup?





I recently build an SLI system for a friend of mine with an MSI board: MSI P6N SLI-F V2 PCIE ATX S775 nForce650 However the FSB of this board is 1333MHz. (鈧?9)





If you do need a 1600MHz board you could consider the Asus P5E3. (鈧?59)

Can i make a system restore after formatting?

after i change my OS from vista to XP,
Can i make a system restore after formatting?
nope you%26#039;ll have to re-install vista from a disc
Can i make a system restore after formatting?
nope simply because when there is a clean install there is clean files, including backup
Reply:if u have done Quick format means u can do it r else u cannot..
Reply:No of course.


You%26#039;d better make ghost image.
Reply:If you format and install a fresh copy of XP, there is no reason to restore
Reply:Formatting means wiping everything in your HDD so you can never do a System restore if your computer is blank like a blank piece of paper. You got to reinstall your OS or Install a genuine copy of XP then you have to activate.

My laptop computer is stuck in a "logging out" mode...i am guessing this is a virus...how can i fix this??

Do you mean it keeps logging you out of your User?


If so then boot your computer into Safe Mode and rune full scans with your anti-virus (like AVG) and anti-spyware (like SpyBot - Search and Destroy)
My laptop computer is stuck in a %26quot;logging out%26quot; mode...i am guessing this is a virus...how can i fix this??
have you tried holding in the power button for between 5 - 10 seconds so the computer switches off then trying to reboot
My laptop computer is stuck in a %26quot;logging out%26quot; mode...i am guessing this is a virus...how can i fix this??
this doesn%26#039;t sound like a virus. i highly recommend going to www.windowsupdate.com and check to see if there are any updates available.





when you go to this site install the activex plugins if it asks you to. also, when asks always choose %26quot;custom%26quot; and make sure that you select all available updates. then continue going back to that site even after rebooting to make sure that you get every possible update.





also make sure that you have an antivirus program running, updated, and scanning your computer regularly.





i highly recommend AVG Free as a good alternative if you have nothing right now. a free download can be found at free.grisoft.com.





most likely these things will keep your computer running smoothly and will even fix your problem.





let us know how it goes!
Reply:If your laptop is in suck a critical situation then the problems may be:


1) you may loads of software installed onto it...that makes it very slow and it even has effect on your internet~so machine cannot bear such big loads while it allowes to work even....


2) your desktop would have loads of files on it....theres a limit of 50 files on it and that includes your software shortcuts, different folders and the basic my computer, documents and recycle bin...


As if it is the Vista OS then you can fix it using your recovery disc and re-format your laptop....so that brings it back as it was when you got it brand new....


After it starts working, I prefer run a monthly or weekly free online virus scan from the housecall65.trendmicro.com....


it depends on how much time you wanna spare on it as virus time depends number space you may have on your HDD...


generally its between 1 and 2 hrs....


hope it helps and you get your laptop back to normal....

thnks a million...god bless ur pc
Reply:THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT A VIRUS OR SPYWARE!!!! I have experienced this freezing moment once in awhile in my new laptop that is running Windows Vista Home Premium. This incident happens whenever you try to restart or completely turn off your pc. It will go clear your desktop first then try to log out before it shuts down. I strongly believe it%26#039;s a Vista problem because I didn%26#039;t experience this same glitch on my old laptop that is running Windows XP. The worst you can do is to hold down the power button for a few seconds just like one of the answers that you got earlier. Windows need to shut down your system properly by closing all the applications and programs that are running in the background. By holding down the power button to force it to shut off, you are actually damaging your Windows Operating System. Every time you do this, you are corrupting your operating system and eventually lead to total destruction which will lead you to reinstall your operating system again. Please wait awhile and let Windows shut down your system properly. It is only recommended to hold the power button after you have waited long enough and it is still frozen in a %26quot;logging out%26quot; mode. This just happened to me yesterday. I waited fpr 3 hours but to no avail, it was still stuck in the %26quot;logging out%26quot; mode.
Reply:This Once happened to me


When


I uninstalled an old AVG 7.0


Installed Mc Afee


After Thorough Scan





After a restart


I would Login %26amp; within seconds, it would logoff


CPU usage remained 100%





Unfortunately, I had not installed System Restore utility that came with motherboard CD


That wasted a lot of my time


No more


I now restore it to my previous configuration in an hour.


If this is ur case,


then reinstall or restore


Repair might not help much





U might end up wasting more time.





Still some other possibilities


Free up Disk Space on that drive where pagefile.sys exists


It could exist on multiple drives (Virtual Memory)





Maybe ur File System is not having free space on that partition


So OS has become slow.





Try AVG 8.0 antivirus

Can I use 2 black ink cartridges in my Lexmark printer?

Because I use my printer only for documents, it would be much cheaper having 2 black ink cartridges.
Can I use 2 black ink cartridges in my Lexmark printer?
only if it has a space for 2 black ink cartridges i wouldnt put it in the colour 1 u could end up breaking it
Can I use 2 black ink cartridges in my Lexmark printer?
no u cant do that, sorry
Reply:You cannot install 2 black cartridges on it. It will not fit or work. You%26#039;re just going to damage you printer if you did. If you know that your printer is only using the black cartridge, your wrong. The printer also uses a speck of colored ink to provide or print a black output.
Reply:No, the cartridges are chipped and different sizes.





Lexmark is a very good printer, but the cartridges cost more than a new Epson or Canon; it%26#039;s cheaper to change printer and use replica inks.
Reply:no you cant but you could fill your colour cartridge with black ink


Medion mim2120 laptop and want to restore it back to factory settings?

i do not have the discs that came with it and i dont think the Ctrl and f12 works what else can i try?
Medion mim2120 laptop and want to restore it back to factory settings?
Hi Dan


If you say the ctrl f12 does not do what you want then you need a recovery disk or a Windows XP installation CD. You could borrow a Windows XP CD this will work with your product key which is on the base of your laptop. You could buy a CD from EBay very reasonable.


Hope this helps


Good Luck

I need help to buy a graphic from Nvidia?

My dillemma is this:I wanna buy a GC 8800GT or 9600GT their look very similar togather wich one do you prefer ??!!:-D
I need help to buy a graphic from Nvidia?
|get a 8600 they can pretty much handle ever game and there like $80
I need help to buy a graphic from Nvidia?
Actually, I think the best bang for the buck right now is the EVGA 8800GS. Scores 5.8/5.9 on Vista Experience (big deal) and overclocks very nicely. I have several friends with the 8800GT (and beyond) who have been very impressed with this card. Avoid the 9XXX cards.
Reply:even versus an 8800 and a 9800, the 8800 is generally considered to be better, the 9xxx series aren%26#039;t justified for the price considering the actual gain over the 8xxx series (not a lot if any, trust me)
Reply:8600GT = rubbish


9600GT %26lt; 8800GT





Therefore, 8800GT is the best bang for buck.
Reply:I find the ultra to best the nicest but I don%26#039;t want to waste my money on that so I bought an 8600 GT from XFX. I hear EVGA is better because it has a lifetime warranty on all products but I%26#039;m not positive on that. I would say go for the 8800 :D
Reply:8800GT scores a 918 on G3D Mark


9600GT scores a 915 on G3D Mark





So looks like 8800GT
