You know, like:
*The kind w/ a wire.
*The kind that uses a laser not a wire.
(I'm sure there are more types but those are the only ones that I know about. Your answer does not have to be one of these it can be some other kind of mouse for a regular computer not a laptop, oh, not a flat screen either).

What are the pro's (good things about it) & con's (bad things) about that mouse?

***~& what's a good way to clean the ball in a wire-mouse~***

i was sat searching google yesterday and heard something through my speakers about 5 minutes later i heard them again and it was foreign sounding voices but it was quiet so i couldnt understand.
And today about 5 minutes ago ive just heard the VOICES again but not only me, my girlfriend this time, who didnt believe i heard them yesterday also heard them for herself.
I am waiting for a plane to fly over becase we live in the direction that planes take off and land over head. the airport is about 10 miles away and thought it could be something to do with the planes but no plane in sight.
Any Suggestions??

But none of the following or along the lines of
ghosts, line tapped, computer ghost, spirits, hauntings, my great aunt bessy who hated me , the police, voices in my head rubbish lol

Whenever I click on a URL in my e-mail services (either Yahoo or Incredimail), the target web page comes up in Internet Explorer, which I have little use for. OS is XP Home SP2.

I have limited my choices for which computer I should get. Now only two remain, and I need an answer. Please do not refer me to another computer, my mind is set on THESE TWO.
Emachines comp- http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8297023&type=product&productCategoryId=pcmcat103700050067&id=1173577698068

Please consider everything about the computer before telling me which one is the better deal. I will be using the desktop to surf the web, and play lots of games. I will need a computer with a nice speed level. My current computer sucks now. (Emachines, 60 gigabyte hard drive, 256 ram). Also, I would like to know which one would last me longer? Ive had this emachines for about 4 years now, and it still works alright.

I recently bought a Samsung Syncmaster 226BW (22" widescreen monitor). When I first bought it, I had Windows XP installed on my computer. The display/monitor worked fine. It gave me more room in windows and on the desktop. Recently, I installed Vista Ultimate (genuine edition). Instead of giving me more room due to the wider screen, it just strecthes everything out. All pictures are at a new ratio and everything is wider. In XP, for example, I could fit more icons in the same space, while in Vista, it's just stretching out the square version of the OS. I am using the same resolution on both (1620x1050). What's the problem. Why is XP giving me more room (the main reason why I bought a widescreen) while Vista Ultimate just stretches everything out to an unnatural ratio?

I have a 15 inch, 3 GHZ, 60G hard-drive, Averatec, that still runs decent, which I bought about 4 years ago. But I do want to update to a new version or a new brand if possible. I need some help in disposing my old laptop, any suggestions of where I can go or do to get rid of it, thank you!!!

It's not a battery problem. I have Windows XP. I was listening to music on it, and my brother accidently kicked it off the desk. It turned off. I turned it back on and it was normal until it said to pick a way to start it up. The options are, Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking, Safe Mode with Command Prompt, Last Known Good Configuration, and Start Windows Normally. I've tried all of them. A blue screen comes up in about 5 seconds that says, a problem has been detected with Windows and will shut down to prevent damage to your computer, unmountable_Boot_Volume. This screen only stays up for about a second and a half, and then it just restarts, and goes through this whole process again. Please help me, I've put to much into this computer to lose it all, and nobody gets an income in my family, so I can't afford to take it to a repairshop. Please help me.

When my computer is powered on or if it is rebooted, when it gets to the system check (black screen) It halts and tells me that the chassis has been opened before last reboot. It tells me to hit any key to continue or hit F1 to enter setup. I hit any key and it boots up as normal, if I hit F1 it ask me to enter the password.

1. How can I stop the error from stopping the computer from booting? If I am not in the room the computer will sit at the plack screen until a key is pressed.

2. Pressing F1 - I entered my password (Administator password) and it locks up until I reboot. Then the cycle repeats. Can I chand the password. Why is the pass word not the admin's pass word. Please help.


These are just small, but they are annoying.

Thanks

I basically want to know how people who use P2P get caught. Do they get caught because they are sharing, or do they get caught because they are downloading. In cases where college students are caught ( for example) what is that gets them caught

I was told by people at Dell that I need to reinstall windows xp home edition and buy a new hard drive. I have some important files and some music/pictures that I'd like to save. I'd call someone to do it but it'll cost $250, at least. Is there any way I can do this myself? I'm pretty computer literate when it actually works but have no clue what to do at this point. Anyways, can anyone help???

I want to buy a laptop this August (during back-to-school sales) and I'm not sure if you get better deals from buy through Dell directly or going to Best Buy type stores.

On on hand Dell.com cuts out the middle man, so I'd think it could pass the savings on to the customer, but at the same time the sheer buying force of BB might cause Dell to cut them some deals.

Also if I buy from BB it might come in hand in case I have to bring it in for repairs/defects vs mailing it back to Dell.

Anybody have an opinion about this?
