Should survey companies that say you won a prize, but you have to take thier survey first, be shut down? Or should the companies like Cingular, Wall-Mart, Vontage, and Columbia House, be boycotted for paying Ad Co.s to lie, and try to make you buy something you don't want?

I heard that it's a way that you can get a code or password, and when you aren't home, no one else can use the computer..This code or password will not allow anyone to use your computer

When I put any disk into it, the disk spins, the orange light goes on for about a minute then it goes off but nothing happens.

And just now when I checked, the drives have changed names.

My cd and dvd drives used to be E: and F:
But now they are D: and E:

Recently when I rebooted, the pc asked me to select from an empty drop down list which drive was my dvd burner.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Last night, I was on the internet, and all of a sudden, the computer restarted on its own. I don't think it was a power flick, because the TV was on as well, and it didn't even flicker, plus the VCR stayed running as well. I also got the screen on startup saying the computer did not shut down correctly and is scanning the hard disk for errors. I think it may be a hardware issue, as something of this nature has happened before, but not in a while. Any help?

I have always wondered why so many people go into chat rooms or to dating sites to chat, most men (sometimes women) are generally Married, my husband cheated on me with many women on the net, he got very cosy with them, but, just about everything he said to these women were total rubbish and lies, he came very close to meeting up with one of these women, but backed down at the last minute, dont these people know who do this type of thing that they are playing with peoples feelings and also coming between relationships and Marriages, I just dont understand what the attraction is and why they have to do it, I'm one of the lucky ones, I found out about most of them, (probably many I didnt), and we have managed to keep together, after 3 years, I am still hurting inside and now I dont ever trust him, but it is getting easier, I think the hardest thing about what my husband did, was that he did it all whilst I was very ill with Cancer. Please explain why this sort of thing happens.
