In my opinion, an unwanted program is not only an issue because of hard disk space, it's an issue because of clutter. I personally dislike having programs I don't use, and removing shortcuts doesn't satisfy me because it's still sitting in my program files folder. It's a shame that Windows …

I'm purchasing a laptop at the end of next month, and I want to be able to install 32-bit Vista on it. Currently, I'm looking at a Toshiba Satellite M60 laptop with the following specs: CPU: Intel Pentium M Processor 760 (2.00GHz, 2MB L2 cache, 533MHz FSB) Ram: 1024MB (512MBx2) …

My Problem: Several of my games (typically, but not always, graphically intensive ones), have a duration when moving the mouse that varies from making it very difficult to aim, to having to wait about a second after my mouse moves left to see my character move left on the screen. …

Is it possible to connect two monitors to a computer, both displaying the same image?

I'm not sure what forum to put this in, so I put this in the Linux forum because people here would be more knowledgable about duel-booting. I recently discovered I still have IBM DOS 5.0 install diskettes, and I would like to install DOS on my computer. Currently, I have …

I'm getting Ultimate. My reason for getting Vista would primarily be to learn about it, and as Ultimate is the only edition with everything in it, it is the only way to meet that goal. I'd also be getting it as soon as possible, as though I'm not expecting anything …

After an incredible amount of odd behavior from my computer, I had no choice but to reformat the thing yet again. Every time I do so, it only starts bugging up after another 6 months, presumably because of all the garbage sony loads with the recovery disk I can never …

Well, I searched for "Beach Wallpapers" on google and downloaded a wallpaper installer. I didn't notice it warned me of stuff included. I got so many nasties that I had to reformat my computer. There were so many programs running in the background that my typing was choppy. It was …

I use Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2, but I have Debian Linux running under coLinux. I actually use the Windows part for very little, short of my games, as well as to recover my coLinux when I get a little too adventurous. Basically, my operating system has …

I currently have two 80gb hard disks. The second hard drive is for Linux, which will remain the same for this, but the first hard drive is what I want to change. On the first hard drive, I currently have 3 partitions: A 2gb FAT16 partition with IBM DOS 5.0 …

I have Linux on my computer as well, but this concerns both versions of Windows I have. They both share the first of my two hard disks, with the first partition being a 10gb FAT32 (with Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition). The second parition is roughly 70gb NTFS, and contains …

Hey. :) I've been wanting to play some of my old games for a long time, but haven't been able to because they aren't compatible with XP. Currently, I have Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 and SuSE Linux 9.1 Professional, each on their own 80gig hard drive. The …

I used this a long time ago because I found it helpful. I've decided to use it again, but it won't start up. Could this be the fault of service pack 2? Is there anything I can do to get it to work. Edit: What it does is show the …

I don't know a whole lot about laptops, but are you able to network with it? You could copy the entire contents of the Windows 98 CD onto another computer, then transfer them over the network. When Windows asks you for the cd, just specify the win98 folder of wherever …

I am a kid still living with my parents. Several years ago, my parents decided that they no longer wanted to buy antivirus and firewall software for the family because our ISP started giving away a protection suite. I didn't want to switch away from Norton, but seeing as I …

I use both alternately. Overall, I think KDE is better, but I use GNOME once in a while because I get tired of KDE. From what I hear, GNOME is easier for people switching from Mac OS, whereas KDE is easier for people switching from Windows. I've heard many recommendations …

I don't have a Windows 2000 computer, but allow me to explain why I would want information on upgrading one. Vista has been the source of a great deal of worry for me over the past few months. I have a laptop that currently has Windows XP Home Edition. It's …

I'm wondering because right now, my website is very, very badly broken in 4, and I'm going to have to make a separate version of the web site to fix it. At this point in time, is it still necessary to support Netscape 4?

I'm going on a very boring, 3 hour trip. My laptop battery will last me long enough that I can have a computer during that time, but I thought I'd ask first, is this a bad idea? Could bumpiness during driving crash the harddrive, or cause other damage to the …

I have a folder stored on my main computer. The computer main computer is a Linux computer, but it's using Samba to connect to the network. I have a new laptop that I want to accessthis folder with write permission regularly to work on various projects on both computers at …

I have one account on my new computer, which is currently labeled "Best Buy". I want to rename this to "Kamex", including the folder in Documents and Settings. I thought I'd ask how to do this to be sure because I can't afford to reformat it. Can anyone provide instructions …

(Note: Please be patient with me as I still know next to nothing about Linux) I prefer KDE, but I also like Firefox. Firefox is what got me interested in open-source in the first place. The problem is that Firefox is a GNOME application, and is designed to run in …

I would like to delete my kmenu and make my own, but I don't want to lose the old one in case I change my mind. Is there a way to back it up so I can restore it at a later date?

I don't know if this is the right forum for this. Perhaps there should be a "General Linux Help" section? Anyway, I have been a Linux user for over a year, but I've never truly understood how the operating system works. I don't even understand the directory structure. I heard …

I have been trying to play DVDs in Linux for a while. I heard that DVD support was disabled because of legal issues, and that there was no legal solution for Linux, so if I wanted to play DVDs, I should use Windows. I have been doing just that, but …

I know exactly what you're talking about. A lot of programs out there seem to think they are the only programs you'd possibily want to use. I can't imagine what makes software developers think this will make you use the software [b]more[/b]... I still remember back when I used AOL …

(Edited out, post was redundant, my apoligies)

Hmm, is it possible this problem could be hardware related? If it's doing it in the setup too...

I triple-boot Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition, Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2, and SUSE Linux 9.3 Professional. For those that don't know, Linux has special user permissions. There is only one user with access to the entire harddrive, called "root", and this user has an encrypted password. …

One thing I've always hated about 98SE is how when you restart it, any windows you had open before you shut down are reopened upon startup. Is there a way to turn this feature off?

When I try, the send button is greyed out. I had someone contact me earlier, someone who was happy to see I was finally online....They called and called, but of course, I couldn't respond. I finally managed to get my other friend to tell him that he needed to make …

Anything based on Internet Explorer inherites the same insecure design of Internet Explorer, and is almost garuanteed to contain security holes found in Internet Explorer.
