Computers & Internet - 17 June 2007

My Sony Vaio computer is partitioned into two drives, the C and D drive. I am out of space on the C drive and have plenty of space on the D drive. I need to either move some programs over to the other drive or delete them altogether. What is the best way to go about doing that? Is there any other way to free up space? I can't even run the defrag, it's so full. Also I am always leary of deleting programs that came preinstalled on the computer (always seems to cause problems) but what can I really get rid of, I don't use half the crap on here? Thanks for your help!

I have a Dell Dimension E520 with 1GB of RAM.

I was told to go with 2GBs and someone at Yahoo! Answers swore by 2GBS citing really poor performance with anything less than 2GB.

I'm tempted to get another Gigabyte and up the RAM to 2GBs. However, I just read a similar question to mine Yahoo! Answers in which a guy says 4GBs.

I'm really tore over this and have no idea what to do. Do I upgrade to 2GBs or 4GBs?

It just doesn't seem like 1GB does the trick for VISTA and I'm getting sick and tried of having to close out a lot of browser windows and stuff after I've been online for a few hours JUST to open something else up! I'm also getting tired of having to close everything JUST to access my Outlook!

I am redesigning my companies main website and want to create new webforms for the site. I do not know how to use CGI, PHP, MySqrl or any thing else. My experience is in HTML, xHTML and CSS. Is there a way for me to create a webform for my site that uses only HTML that will permit the user to fill out the form and then email it to me?
I have tried free hosted CGI forms in the past and they are not reliable. PLEASE HELP!!! My business is suffering.

The screen is now a light green tint and was shorting out for a while but it seems like the shorting out has stoped...

Will it get better or worse?

I have been looking for a college laptop for quite a while now, and I've finally narrowed my choices down, but do have a few questions.

The choice is mainly between the Lenovo T61p and the Asus G1S-A1 (aka simply G1S). (Note: Money is not an issue/factor so please don't worry about cost - and no, I don't want an Alienware and I want something 15" or less).

1. I know that Lenovo builds top quality laptops, but how about Asus? Are they problem-prone, do they fall apart, will they last 2-4 years?

2. I'm leaning more towards the G1S simply because of the better components, yet I do feel that this laptop may have some heating issues for some odd reason.

3. Is Intel Turbocache or Fingerprint reader really that great, or could one easily live without them?

4. Finally, for someone who wants to do a bit of everything (some Adobe, Office 2007, gaming, movie watching, music listening, etc...), which laptop is best suited for the job?

Again, personal experiences are great... Thanks.

Hi. I'm looking to wean myself off gmail, and all my other google apps. I like em but it's time to move on. I dont mind paying for stuff either. In particular it needs to be web-based, fast, i need to be able tag stuff, and to be able to search emails just as effectively as i can in gmail.
On the web ppl have recommended webmail.us but they have a 10-account minimum.

I created some nice looking buttons using TextBoxes. Then I put them into the left had cell of a table. It looks great! But then when I minimize the screen the buttons move out of the place where I put them! And on other computers the buttons are not even close to being in the cell that I put them in. QUESTION: How do I anchor these textbox buttons to stay where I put them no matter what computer or if the window is minimized?

I'm looking at buying a replacement socket 478 motherboard. Some of the boards I'm interested in state that they support Pentium 4 Prescott. If the board is a socket 478 and not an LGA 775, shouldn't it also support a Pentium 4 Northwood?

Check out my Movie i put on Youtube!

You may have to turn up the Volume a little bit to hear the slightly quieter noises, but nothing too extreme.
