Computers & Internet - 7 August 2006

I was told that with my laptop, it isn't good to shut it down completely every time I'm finished with it. I was advised to put it in sleep mode instead and just turn it off when I go to bed at night. I only use it a maximum of 3 or 4 times a day, and have no place for it. I usually fold it up and put it out of sight until I use it again. Knowing me, I would forget that it's on and drain the battery or something. So is it good for it to be completely shut down and started up every time I use it?

My husband and I have been looking into different desktop systems for our daughter. She's almost 14 and will be using it for school as well as for burning cd's, etc. I don't know alot about desktop systems as my husband and I have a laptop. We have looked into Dell and HP but I feel like I'm reading a different language with alot of it. We do like the slimline design that HP offers. We want the whole system, including printer, speakers, LCD flat panel moniters, etc. If anyone can help us decide which computer would work the best for her needs, we would greatly appreciate it. Also, if anyone can recommend which programs we should purchase along with the computer, that would also help. Thanks!

I have a couple questions about the sims 2 babies:

1. How long is a sim pregnant in sim days?
2. How do you know when a sim has her baby?
3. Do you name the baby?
4. Does she have birth at the house or where does she have birth?

And tell me about sims having birth if you have experienced it.

I have to send in 26 MB of .avi files, but they only allow 5 MB, how do I shrink the size of these things? (without creating any kind of compressed files.) I prefer mac but I would be fine with windows too. I'll even buy software. I'd like to keep them as close to the original resolution as possible, would converting to .mov be better? Does Quicktime Pro do these sorts of things? Thank you very much!!!!

I have a modem-broadband (Ethernet) from Now broadband , which has been causing me many problems lately... It's a contended service.

1. Getting connected for the first time (i.e. after turning my comp on) isn't usually a problem, it's actually getting on to the internet. Often, internet explorer/mozilla just won't read a page (I get the 'page not found' screen) for every website. Everything is connected fine however, 'network connections' will happily show me the bytes sent and recieved (which is always increasing, suggesting something is being accessed!). Also, if I use my p2p software (for purely legal purposes mind you!), it connects fine and I can download my documents.

2. In order to retify this, I either have to restart my laptop or unplug/plug in the modem, both of which are a hassle!

3. Similarly, once on the internet, often I will be 'kicked off' as described above where I am still connected

Does this happen to anyone else? I've run millions of anti-spyware, etc!

Thanks!
