My Windows Xp Disk Cleanup is Taking Hours! And I have still not reached the screen to direct it what to clean up. It's been scanning. Is There a Better Way to Clean up the HD? If software is an idea; I'm on a budget. Preferably I'm looking for good ad-free freeware or very inexpensive software.

Hi -- just within the last couple of weeks, when i'm playing a game on my computer, the graphics get draggy and jerky -- gives me a headache. They used to be smooth (like a movie). What causes this?

I checked with the games' manufacturers and they say "update direct X" which i did, and this didn't fix it.

I checked with my computer mfr and they were NO help whatsoever. I've also tried uninstalling and re-installing the games (Hobbit, Fame, & Narnia in particular, but also Escala solitare and the Windows solitare).

I have a Dell inspiron 9100 with XP, pentium 4 and lots of RAM.

Sometimes if i reboot several times, it will be okay for a while, but eventually starts jerking again.

thank you! any info and/or ideas are appreciated.

Hi, I am just learning new programming languages and creating a website, not for a company just for my learning but i am stuck in a silly thing. I am using PHP and MySQL. And in HTML i am using TEXTAREA to write huge text. Basically if I write something like this:

This is first line,
This is second line.

When I store the above in MySQL database using TEXT datatype, and try to read it, it comes like this:

This is first line.This is second line.

They don't seem to come in separate lines.
Can you please tell me where the problem is.
Thankyou.

Oh, by the way this is the website i have created, still under construction:

How do I find the actual address associated with the visible e-mail address that appears in the cc: field. I replied all, to such an e-mail and one person on the cc:list never received my reply. Could that visible address of this person belong to someone else. Can a visible address contain non-printable characters so that it appears like the address of the known person. Appears to be something suspicious in what I encountered

If you're a member of e-bay then help me if you can.
I've got a 'want it now' post on e-bay. As soon as someone responds me, I reply 'em back through the link 'Answer now' on the page. I also select the 'send a copy to my e-mail address' option before sending the message. The copy of my message does get delivered to my e-mail. But then I get no more replies from the one I sent my message to.
Please tell me, is there a way by which I can find out if my message is getting delivered? If so, how?
If it's not getting delivered, what can I do about it?

According to this month's issue of Popular Science, big companies like Verizon, AT&T, and Time Warner are lobbying congress to pass legislation that would allow them to charge fees for internet usage. This would limit the # of sites you could view, depending on whether or not you paid for it. Companies would let their customers receive high-bandwidth data at a speedy pace, similar to what exists now, but greatly limit the bandwidth use of nonpaying internet users. So if you don't pay, your internet, even with broadband, would go back to the slow days of dial-up speed. Furthermore, web sites that don't demand fees will load slower, if they do at all. The companies argue that this fee would help pay for the cost required to make high bandwidth data available. Should they be allowed to do it? Why or why not?
