Computers & Internet - 23 July 2006

I have been added by this guy on msn (accidently - wrong email address inputted) and turns out he used to live in the same area and go to the same school as me and was in the same year as my older brother...
he says that he left that school early so didnt manage to get to know people that well and i questioned him a lot and his answers seem to be quite accurate and correct
its funny because i am naturally a very inquisative and suspicious person and i didnt give him any clues who i was at all - he came out with the info first and then i gradually asked him questions to see if he would answer correctly...

is this sheer coincidence or something suspicious?
i am on a mission to find out but i dont know what else to ask!
any ideas on what i should do to find out?

and for those people who have answered this before, i didnt get many replies so i posted the question again in the hope of getting more ideas :)

When I'm at home I hook my laptop up to an external monitor. The problem is that when I close the laptop lid the laptop goes into "sleep mode". How do I stop this from happening?

I have a Dell Latitude D610 and I'm running XP

I'm just curious. I have one I purchased on eBay a while back, and it works with XP, so I thought maybe I could use it. Besides, I'm on a low budget nowadays.

I am wanting to buy a used book for $0.01 and I want to know how much shipping will cost if I decide to buy it.

It is on amazon.com, and if you want to know what book it is, if that even depends, email me at keesonden@yahoo.com.

If you need any other info, email me.

i'm running home edition (unfortunately) and i've had this problem for a while now, off and on. some days i'm able to open up folders ie my computer, control panel, etc but more often than not i'm not able to. norton and spysweeper dont seem to detect anything. oddly enough the same thing happens with AIM, however that never opens, despite unistalling and reinstalling it several times. anyone have an inkling as to what might be the problem? thanks

I recently had to reformat my entire hard-drive due to issues with Norton, and now I'm looking for a good new program. I'll take any suggestions; suites, or several single programs working together. Obviously, please don't reccomend Norton.

I recently installed some new RAM (512 MB) for my Apple Power Mac G4 (733mHz). THe computer worked fine, the RAM even showed up in the system profiler. Within minutes, the computer froze. Now everytime i start up it sits and spins on "Login Window Startup". I tried taking out the new RAM and the same thing happens. Is there anything I can do? When I search "Login Window Startup" I get alot of results about Macs getting stuck there, too. But nothing mentions RAM. It also goes beyond my knowledge. I was going to try and startup from the OS Disc, but I can't even get the CD tray open. THere isn't that tiny button I can access with a paper clip.

Any pointers I can get would be appreciated. I may not know alot about this kinda stuff, but I can RTFM. I just need to know where to start.

Many Thanks!!!

I bought Philips DVD player (in USA), after coming to home I saw that it can play only USA DVDs, but I wanted to take it to my country and I think it cant play DVDs from my country...Can I break the code of the player so that it can play all DVDs, if yes, how?. Is there any website which helps me to do this? or you think I should return it back..?

Thanks
