I stupidly let my neices loose on my laptop yesterday, and I've logged on today to find this puppy thing attached to my mouse, which is VERY annoying! I've looked on control panel at add/remove files but there doesn't seem to be anything new....please don't tell me it's there forever!

Would anyone have any idea as why my laptop gets frozen after using it for only 5 minutes or so. I can't use the keyboard & the mouse pointer gets frozen & the only way to get over it is by turning the power off.

Couple of days back, I couldn't EVEN turn the power on but someone I manage to do after a while & at least managed to use the Safe Mode with Networking & transferred all my files using the wireless Network onto my PC (& hence backed-up all my data). Afterwards, the power was turning on but the screen used to get frozen at a point where Windows XP banner first comes up (when it's loading & has the status bar underneat it).

Now the power seems to be turning on & am being able to get to the desktop but within 5 min. or so using it, keyboard & mouse gives up.

I've recently had hard disk changed, so hightly doubted if it's anything to do with it. How about the CPU fan or RAM chip fault, or something else ??? Any idea.

I'm using Windows XP Pro. SP2 & has 256 MB of RAM.

Hye guys
I have two problems in unix.

1. The first problem is that I wanna search for a word in a text file and then print it's count i.e how many times it occurs in that file.Now I tried this

grep "searchword" filename | wc -l

it works well but it counts the lines where the search word appears.If the word appears twice in a line,it still counts it as one.So pls help.I want the word count,not the number of lines matching the pattern.

2.Second problem is that I need to count number of symbols (* % $ etc) in a file.How can I do that??

Thanks in advance.

I just finished building a gaming PC (Asus M2N32-Sli mobo, geforce 7950 gx2 graphics, AMD 64FX 62 CPU, etc. etc. I thought I knew enough to connect it all but theres a hell of alot more wires involved than I thought. For example the wires coming from the display on the PC case, where do they go??
