My laptop keeps saying primary hard disk drive 0 not found. I was told my hard drive was dead and I had to get a new one. I need one quick and none of the stores I've gone to have internal laptop hard drives only external. Can my Dell Latitude use an external hard drive just until I find an internal one?

When setting up my router it tells me to connect to the internet but my old modem is not plugged in. If i plug my modem in i lose my adsl connection with my router. I have the installation cd 4 my router and my old modem(sagem fast) is not mentioned, it seems to suggest my router(d-link DSL-G624T) will act as my modem.
In theory it should but it does not.
Any help greatly recieved. Thanks in advance.
I use tiscali b/b on dial up.

MY Explorer is not connecting to the internet. I scanned the system for viruses with AVG and Avast but they said there r no viruses. But my fire fox is working properly (It is connecting to the internet). i want to uninstall the Explorer once and install it again. Is this the proper way? Are there any other solutions for me? Please help me.

What you should know about running scripts and ActiveX controls in Internet Explorer
Be cautious about allowing Web sites to run scripts or ActiveX controls on your computer. While these items can enhance Web browsing, they can also be a security risk, and it’s best to avoid using them when you can. However, some Web sites or tasks might require them and you will have to decide whether to trust ActiveX controls that Internet Explorer blocks for your safety.

What are scripts and ActiveX controls?

Scripts, ActiveX controls, and other Web browser add-ons are used extensively on the Internet. They can make browsing more enjoyable by providing toolbars, stock tickers, video, animated content, and more. These programs can, however, malfunction or give you content you don’t want. In some cases, these programs can be used to collect information from your computer in ways you might not approve of, possibly damage data on your computer, install software on your computer without your consent, or allow someone else to control your computer remotely. Given these risks, you should only install these programs if you completely trust the publisher.

What should you do about ActiveX controls and scripts running on your computer?

Use the default security settings in Internet Explorer. These settings will help protect you. If you feel like you need more protection while browsing the Internet, it's OK to increase your browser’s default security settings.

Important

The default security settings in Internet Explorer are designed to help protect your computer from viruses and attacks over the Internet. Microsoft strongly recommends that you leave these security settings at their default level or higher.

...but i have 3 questions that are related to each other. :-)

Can someone list all of the Windows Operating Systems there have ever been in order?

Has each newer version of Windows always been better than the one it replaced? (I heard that Millenium was worse than Win98 because it was a rush release and it had too many bugs in it)

and is XP the best Windows there has ever been?

One day while i was on my computer, the power knocked out and now once ever so often my computer freezes to a point where it will not read/save anything. For ex: the word Start at the bottom left disappears, Wordpad/Text Documents can't be saved/red, Internet Explorer Icon now shows an unknown file icon when i click on the Desktop Shortcut(at the bottom right of my screen), When i am able to click Start it gives me a drop down window box for me to select Restart or Shutdown, and when it doesn't i have to manually click the Shutdown Button. This happens rather i am using Limewire or Not. I think it might be a bug, i have already used Earthlink Protection Control Center and Norton Spyware Scan with Yahoo Toolbar, and it still occurrs. Can it possibly be something wrong with my DSL Modem that causes the computer glitch. Also i have Yahoo Widgets, and on my Digital Clock Widget, the 10s and 1s place of the DCW will read File Missing, or something like that. Has anyone one experienced this.
