Last night when using my laptop and the screen went black, but I knew the laptop was still running because I could hear my music. I thought it was a fluke and manually shut it off. Today I can't use my laptop for more than 5 minutes without the screen going blank (and sometimes it the screen goes off before I can even log in). I finally got the laptop to properly send the error message and it told me I have a problem with my ATI Graphics Driver. I have ATI Mobility Radeon 9000. I tried reading what the website told me to do, but it was all so technical I just can't understand. I tried running it in safe mode, but that did not work. Does anyone know how to fix this problem in plain English?

I have tried to be kind and answer questions the best way I know how, but all I am seeing is rudeness in return. I think I will just quit Q&A.

Okay, am I reading a plot into this that is not there?

There is a Mexican holding up a sign with something like 7.90 pesos. Then he holds up a sign with a different amount.

On the other side of the screen is a hispanic guy eating something from the McDonalds dollar menu. He is in a hammock and surrouded by flowers and blue skies. HE motions and invites the Mexican in.

The message is that the "dollar" menu is consistent and good. The IMPLICATION is that he is inviting the poor Mexican into our country to enjoy our consistent monetary system and our consumer products.

The next scene, the Mexican that just came in invites a women in who was doing the same thing with a sign. Again, this appears to be telling them to come on in, then to invite their friends and relative.

Has anyone else seen this? Are you getting the same message out of it?

Do you know where we can send an email to let McDonalds know that we don't like this message?

UGH!!

There seem to be so many labels attached to different stereotypes these days: Punk, goth, emo, prep,straightedge, ect. What's more is that there seem to be tons of kids attaching themselves to these labels with great effort (style of dress, hairstyle, ect), and yet they claim to loath the labels themselves...What is your opinion on labels and stereotypes in general?

i don't know why. their eyes seem to glaze over, they look sleepy and sometimes they yawn. it happens even at the first few sentences we speak. and i swear i wasn't droning on about stuff. it;s like the connection between us dies and we fall asleep. or is it just my own perception or imagination?

how do I stop ppl from getting sleepy from talking to me?

My son is almost 12 wks. old. He has been alittle backed-up for over a week. The last movement he had was much more than a baby his age should have (texture wise). He had one today..it was not much, but when I went to change his diaper, There was a strong chemical like odor..( I about fell out! hahaha) But on a serious note, The smell was not normal...So I think..Has this happened to anyone else and any advise would help! Also I noticed he is cutting a tooth, could this be the reason...THANKS!!

Today my family went to a church sale at a church I have occasionally attended for years. This woman knows me by sight, she does not know anything about me personally. After I had gathered my purchases, my husband ordered us lunch in the building and we sat down for a moment to eat.The dinng area is within the parameters of the church hall and frequently shoppers stop to dine and then go pay. This woman came into the room where my family was dining and visiting and stated " I am taking your purchases to be totaled. I will get a cart." I told her no thank you, that I would pay after my family finished eating. a few minutes later, she came up again and yelled at my husband that she was taking my things NOW.She stated I must be hiding something, or wating for the lower prices. It got loud. My husband offered to let the priest referee. This woman knew my ex-husband and liked him. I never told anyone that my ex-husband hit me and cursed me before I left him. No one's business. Any ideas?

we're not allowed to use it for legal costs because we're under suspicion!

Does anyone think he knows what he says.
Does he think he can really use the money donated to find Maddie, to defend himself and his wife when the police are pressurising them into confessing. Oh the brazen cheek of the man, he is so arrogant.
He revealed that they are thinking of flying in a crack legal team from the UK to assist their Portuguese advisor. And just who is going to be paying for that, as he said before they are running out of funds to stay in Portugal any longer??

Hey, please help! My laptop just broke and I don't have the money to buy a new one, or repair it. I turn it on, and it goes to this black screen that asks if I want to restart it in safe mode, safe composition or normally. I press normally and the screen looks like it's starting up. Then, it goes to a blue screen for two seconds and then back to the black screen with the options. I've tried everything! Please help, thanks! If you help me, I'll put your questions as starred, and give you best answer! Thanks in advance.
