Computers & Internet - 31 December 2007

Well, a few weeks ago, My laptop started screwing up so I brought it to Best Buy. Turns out I had a bad harddrive. So I buy a new harddrive, and went home. I took the bad harddrive out, and added the new one in. I did what the man told me to do. Well, when everything was done, I went online to listen to some music. I pressed play, then "...." nothing! I tried other things and such, watching Youtube videos and whatnot, and NO SOUND. No audio, nada! Is this suppose to be normal or something is screwed up?

I have an iBook G4, 1 1/2 years old, that doesn't seem to be able to run any slightly taxing programs for more than ten, twenty minutes at a time. I can't play any computer games, whether they're designed for laptops or not, on it without it overheating and making disconcerting whirring sounds. Consequently, my laptop is useful only for internet and word processing. I'd like to be able to use my laptop to its fullest extent without having to constantly letting it rest and cool down, so how can I reduce the frequency of its overheating spells?

Where do I go to correct this? It's a new comp. so I'm sure it's just a matter of fixing the settings.

Like, if I click on the sound button at the bottom of the screen, and move it up or down, then it works but if I go to a YouTube/etc. vid and try to lower or increase the volume, it just stays at the same volume level as the button at the bottom of the screen.

There was a report in yahoo that firefox was the only browser left battling Internet Explorer, They forgot to mention the regular mozilla browser, and more importantly OPERA!! All are far superior to Microsofts IE, and never get much use simply because Microsoft doesn't bundle their competitors software with windows (Duh), and the fact that microsofts Active X platform is taking over sites like this (active x = spyware that is legal by the way) and firefox and opera dont readily accept these without extensions or add-ons (Explorer required a lot of these too, but downloads them in the background so you dont notice), which ARE available easily, you just have to click the button a couple of times! Anyhow, the question is, WILL YOU PEOPLE PLEASE GIVE FIREFOX OR OPERA A GOOD CHANCE? Download one or the other, you will love them once you get used to them. Firefox is a little more like IE now that MS has stolen their design, but Opera is a piece of art (Very Beautiful) Try them, please!

When I search for Akatsuki art(don't ask), it always says only 50,088 images, but I have been checking on the images for over a week and it never shows any new art. Also, after a week there is usually about 5 pages of new art. Is it my computer, deviantART, or is there really no new stuff?

I was playing this video game on my laptop and every time I played it I have to put my laptop in safe mode. Once I finished playing the game, I left the game in my laptop. When I started my laptopt, it was frozen and I tried to restart. It finally did restart, and now my computer is slow. I try to listen to my music, but it "skips"- like a scratched CD. How can I fix my laptop to read my music and stop it from beginning slow? HELP!
