I got to the point that blue screen says:

Setup needs to copy windows XP files onto your hard disk. Select the folder in which the files should be copied.

\WINDOWS(command prompt)

To change the suggested location, press backspace key to delete characters and then type the name of the folder you want to install Windows XP

I've never gotten this message before and I've been trying to install this stupid thing for the past 3 days.

I think I'm close to opening the "genie"

Can any one help with this one?

You know, stuff like "I luv mi babi he zo HAWT! OMG WT ^ w/ U? Cll me on da CELLY i call u BCK" I can't stand it... reading it is like decoding a secret language. Plus, it's just annoying. Why can't people write in complete sentences?

I have Yahoo DSL. It was easy to set up a year or so ago when I got it. I even set up a network in the house so my laptop could print to the printer attached to the other desk top computer. But suddenly, a few months ago, I couldn't do that any more -- I would get an error message.

The laptop's diagnostics told me that either (1) a cable was unplugged (but this is a wireless network, so there are no cables) or (2) my router -- you know, the box that came with the DSL set-up -- wasn't connected or wasn't working properly. But it's turned on, all the lights are on, and both the laptop and the other computer can access the internet wirelessly.

So, what's my problem?

I belong to a site that has a "post as much as you can thread" and I would like to bring up my post count to a huge number, thus making me a higher level, and in turn people will actually listen to me.

So where can i get a spam bot?

I am going to be selling my computer and I want to make sure nobody retrieves my personal info, there needs to be zero chance of this happening, bank account passwords etc.. ... I have heard that it is possible to get info from a hard drive or where ever else if anywhere else info is stored on a computer after it has been deleted or reformated etc.... So I need to know what I can do to make sure all data that was once on my computer is permenetly erased and can in no way be retrieved... Thank you for your input

I just bought this new computer Hp pavilion Intel Core™ 2 Duo processor E6400, 2.13GHz, 2.00GB of RAM Physical address extension, 2048 MB……etc (so its pretty fast) it’s a cool computer, and has a wireless connection integrated, and when I first plugged in, at my house the internet connection pops in, obviously cause it has a wireless connection integrated. The internet speed is extremely slow!, I’ve really try hooking up other wireless networks near my house but it seems to slow. My question is there some way to make the connection faster? Or what provider would you recommend as a best option for my computer?
