Computers & Internet - 2 June 2007

Well, my family has been using Verizon Online for about two years now, and this is the third or fourth router we have had to receive from them, specifically the second or third router that is this exact same model. The previous ones have all lived their life spans in roughly 8 months time. The end of which, we spend 3 days on the phone with Verizon tech support in India, before they actually admit the router is going to need to be replaced, the majority of which is always spent on the same repetitive "ipconfig" steps. The router never fails not to be able to be used again, and they send us another one.

This is my current problem. The past several days, the third light from the left on the router has been deactivated, seemingly like clockwork. Roughly half the time, because of the absence of this light, the internet is unavailable. I have unplugged the router and let it sit, the first time for 5 minutes, and again for 20 another day. This appears to temporarily solve the problem

I recently deleted a user account because it was slowing my computer down. It asked me if i wanted to save the files of the user before deleting the account; i said yes. Now I don't know where to find them.

I definately want a nice gaming experience and a good notebook. Which is why I have chosen the Sentia m3450. However, I hear nothing but good things about the Macbooks. Once filled with the things I want, they both cost almost exactly the sameamount of money. I don't have an ipod (I put my songs on my psp).

Which should I go with? The gaming pc or the awesome Mac?

I need to enable the TCP/IP, but can't do it because it's not in the network connections area on my control panel. It used to be there, but it disappeared 3 weeks ago and I haven't been able to connect to the internet since.

Here is the advice from freakin' 1999 which I didn't see till later.

Are You Missing Fonts from the Fonts Folder? (All Windows)

A font may seem to be installed correctly but does not appear in the Fonts folder because the Fonts key in the registry is missing or damaged.

Move the contents of the Fonts folder to an empty folder. By opening the Fonts folder, select all the fonts, copy them, and paste them to a new folder.

Open your registry and find the key below appropriate to your operating system. Highlight the key and press DELETE. Once the key has been deleted create a new key to replace it, by selecting Edit -> New -> Key and name the new key [Fonts].

Restart the computer, then re-install the fonts by opening the Control Panel, double-click on 'Fonts'. And from the File menu select 'Install New Fonts...' adding the fonts that were previously copied to the temporary directory.

Windows 95
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Fonts]

Windows NT

Okay, I got this crappy 300 dollar computer for my birthday and it only has about 200mb RAM. Should I buy more RAM or just save up and buy a new and better computer with more RAM?

P.S. I dont have job so It'll prolly take a year...or two.

I am looking on carbonfrost.com. Can someone take a look at that for me? I am looking at a just above the 1000 dollar price range. I am looking into the defender and opus. Im not sure which one to get. I am also wondering whether other people think its a good deal and whether its worth it to get the mark 2 rather then mark 1. If your confused. look at the site, youll know what im talking about. thanks a lot
