I have a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop, and a couple of weeks ago the speakers stopped working. I have checked the volume settings and they're fine. In the Device Manager, I can't tell which of the entries would contain the driver for the speakers. Under "Sounds and Audio Devices", everything …

I'm sharing a drive between two laptops over a wireless home network. My only problem is that I can't log in to the computer with the share on it because I can't remember the passwords for those accounts. I'm looking at the login names on the host computer, but I …

I'm trying to use an HP DVD writer (200j), but I can't find the driver anywhere. I've used it before on this laptop, but for some reason there's no driver for it. Windows recognized the device after several attempts, but the driver icon has that proverbial yellow exclamation mark. Interestingly, …

I have a home network with one desktop and two laptops connected to it. The router is a Linksys and is probably at least three years old. My ability to connect to the Internet has been sporadic, as well as my ability to retrieve e-mail. I've had to reboot pretty …

I have a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop, and the CD/RW drive is no longer being recognized for some reason. When I look in the device manager, the tell-tale yellow exclamation point is displayed over the driver ID. I've removed the driver and re-booted to machine to see if it might …

I'm moving from a high-end Dell Inspiron 8600 to whatever will give me a fast processor and decent hard-disk space. Does anyone have any recommendations for a laptop like that?

I've been backing up my data just doing drag and drop from XP onto a CD or DVD. I've also been backing up to an off-site server location, using their software to meticulously check which files are data files and which aren't. Does anyone know of software that can enable …

I want to buy my wife a PC laptop, but she's insisting on a Mac. I've always liked Macs, but they're a little pricey. Does anyone know if Mac laptops tend to last a little longer than PC laptops?

My laptop is not dead, but dying, so I hope it's OK to post here Sometimes the scrollbars won't show up in certain applications, most notably a Visual Basic app I wrote myself. I'll open a form and there will be text and objects going off the screen to the …
