Are the keys sticking? Have you taken the keyboard off to see what kind of damage has been done?

why not try removing internet explorer and reinstalling (assuming you're using internet explorer)?

no offense, but this just sounds like some people who are very paranoid made this up...

My laptop has been on it's last stretch for the last half a year or so and I've come to the conclusion that it will cost me more to fix than it will to replace. I've been sitting on actually building a new rig for a while now, as you …

Alright. I've already searched through Google and through these forums with no actual help found for my issue. I've followed troubleshooting that others have suggested and nothing seems to be fixing the issue, so now I'm back here. I have two laptops in front of me; one netbook and the …

what version of microsoft are you running?

I've been thinking about upgrading from the current laptop I have to a desktop. Let's face it - with a dead sound card and a questionable IDE controller, this laptop isn't the most ideal, and neither is my other computer with a dying motherboard. With that in mind, looking at …

Firefox can be a pretty heavy browser for older computers... and heavy in general. Chrome is a better, faster alternative though they both have their advantages. Let us know more details about the wireless though, please.

Quite honestly... just go with Firefox, Chrome, or another web browser. ;)

If it's under warranty, let them take care of it. If it's not, does the fan work? Has the laptop randomly shut off before? Also, do you mean when you turn on it won't load into Windows?

Heat should be the only issue, yes. If you're not using it for an extensive period of time then you shouldn't have an issue.

Firewalls: Windows Defender (comes with OS, I don't like it) FortKnox (this is one I love and recommend) Spyware: Spybot S&D Ad-Aware Anti-virus: AVG Free Avast BitDefender What I personally use: Spybot S&D for daily use, though I remove it when extensively installing things. FortKnox. Comes highly recommended. Avast. There …

[QUOTE=Speedo12;1584271]It's possible to have this problem due to a hdd problem. I had this situation a while ago and i was always unplug the HDD and plug it back. Problem solved.[/QUOTE] Always good to check connections. I also recommend a live version of Linux to rescue your files. Do this …

Ubuntu is probably the most popular Linux OS and the most like Windows. Just note that you don't require another partition to install Ubuntu on the same hard drive - you can also install alongside. Also, there are known issues in installing Windows XP and Ubuntu with the bootloaders. I've …

Hi, I have a HP Pavilion dv6000 notebook. I switched over to Linux a few months ago, and have been very happy with it. (running Ubuntu 10.04) Recently I've had the need to install Windows on my laptop again. I've got Windows XP Media Centre, which came with the laptop, …

Hey I am interested in helping plan the storyline. I'm not very good at html (or know much about it anyway :P) but I can help with the storyline. (And I'd love to see the end product, too)

Hi, I had a similar problem. I don't use Media Player unless absolutely necessary; I use iTunes and QuickTime. I had a DVD I wanted to play, Apple recommended DivX Player. It's slow to load but great once you're set up to watch. The codec that goes with it also …

I have an internal mic, and I use it for Skype. Perhaps I can help. :) Are you still having problems?

So, I have looked for a new screen for my R51 and thought it was a 12.1 inch, but it turns out to be a 14.1 inch. I bought a screen from a ThinkPad X31, which is a 12.1 inch screen. (and am kicking myself for doing so) The place …

I totally agree. And Halo 3 isn't such a big deal anyways. (How could someone compare a video game, a book, and a movie anyways?! :scream: )

What are you running? XP or Vista?

[QUOTE=awear2002;773687]I recently caught a virus which I cleaned,bat as a consequence my avg doesn't update,(failed to connect to server) and my automatic updates don't work(error 404) and it redirects me to my default site.

Okay then, if you don't really care about having the update I would not bother. It's not vital to the computer to have that update. I have a friend who has Windows Vista, and since she got the computer I have been dragged kicking and screaming into the world of …

Hello, I am looking for beta testers for chapter one of Crystal of Light. It's almost done (I estimate 3-4 more hours of programming) and then I will release it. Anyone interested in being a beta tester? I just need people to make sure that all of the events and …

Oh jesus, sounds like you got the curse of the "updated." Once you get this back up and running according to caperjack's instructions (which should, by all means, work) just upgrade it to the March release of XP Service Pack 3 and go NO FURTHER. I have been running SP3 …

Ok, are you referring to your favorites on the browser, or on the actual webpage itself? (MSN homepage, or the OS browser?)

[QUOTE=daldo1;682545]No, I have the hard drive in a totally different tower trying to load xp.[/QUOTE] Let me get this straight... you're loading XP in a different computer (not the gateway) and then trying to pop it into the gateway?

DO NOT USE PARTITION MAGIC AGAIN, unless it is the newest version. The older release has a bug that makes it screw with Windows XP to the point where you can't use it (sounds kinda like what your problem might've been)... so check first!

hmmm, I'm looking to do the same thing at one point and I was wondering if anyone could reccomend anything to me :)

I'm getting a list together of what I want for a pc... can anyone help with compatibility/suggestions for hardware? Ok, this is what I'm going to get (I'm doing up a new list completely based on compatibility) for a motherboard/proc: Asus M2A-VM AMD Motheboard CPU Bundle - AMD Athlon 64 …

hmm... I was working on a text-based game, but I stopped last year when I got stuck on something...

I have one very dead fan in my computer, which is why I have an external one that keeps the machine cool. I also have SpeedFan, which measures the temperatures of both the harddrive and the CPU. I'm wondering if there's a magic number that the harddrive shouldn't go over …

ok, I'm not familar with the newer monitors (I'm used to laptops) so... idea. I can use my laptop on a TV screen. If you don't have another monitor perhaps plugging it into the TV will work for now... get one of the old-style keyboards with the circular port (not …

I would say Dell. I've been considering their new Vostro. If you're willing to settle for a used one, Dell Latitudes run around $400-$500 on ebay, and the Latitudes are one of the best. Don't go for an Inspiron; my technical adviser said that he wouldn't touch one with a …

If you get Yahoo, they have a great spam filter, my friend has it and she's never got spam in her inbox.

Copy any files that are important off of it and format the flash drive. If that doesn't solve the problem, I would say return them to the store.

first try getting a new driver - the old copy may have been corrupted. Secondly, you could try cleaning the CD drive (very carefully and look at tutorials if you've never done it before)

Try nero. I've used it for a while now and my parents use it and we've never made any "coasters" before. You should just be able to burn an audio disk with nero - we can with the version we have.

I had the exact same problem with the same symptoms a few weeks ago. Before I can completely diagnose what's going on, I need to know if the actual fan in your laptop, aside from an external one (like I have) is running. I'm pretty sure I know what's going …

you need to undo what you did exactly before windows started locking when it was loading... the very last step before that. if it corrects the problem then we can start from there.

Well, the old Armada M700 hardly seems worth rescuing this time... EXCEPT IRREPLACEABLE FILES ARE ON IT. And Goddess damn it all, I forgot to back them up. So, can anyone help? Here's what's going on: Last night I shut down my computer. This morning I go to turn it …
