Okay, so far i've posted these two questions,

and basically to summarize them up, my computer, hp pavilion, got the blue screen of death within 3 days of buying it. Many people said this was common, and others said i should take it back right away. So if its common, then why should i take it back? Because if i exchange this computer for the same one, it'll still have windows vista on it, and it's microsoft, so isn't there the greatest possibility that this'll happen again?

The major question here is why is this such a big deal? I'm not really into computers, so if someone could explain it to me, it would make more sense.

I'm thinking of building a web page. I've seen those "Easy Creators", but they all look pretty cheesy and limited as to what you can do. Does anybody have any good tips or cool tricks that I could use?

Hello, I am working on a computer and the owner of the computer has a strange problem. The vertical sides of the viewing screen are somewhat curved in. This only happens on one of the two computers she has. This monitor does not have a control for that, atleast I didn't find it. Does anyone have an idea on what to do?

I have a table in my database that has two columns. The first column has some names of individuals and the second column has some group names. I have another table with over 500,000 records. What I want to do is to do a lookup of sorts on the two column table and wherever the individual name comes up in the large table, to return the group name. I am able to change the name with this query:

UPDATE CommonNames
SET Customer = 'Group A'
WHERE Customer = 'Bill Smith.'
OR Customer = 'John Smith'
OR Customer = 'Aaron Smith'

But then I will have to constantly update my query when the two column table changes (frequently). Is there a query I could use that does a lookup on the two column table and based on what's there changes the large table? Your help is greatly appreciated.

Chris

I have problems applying the gradient to my custom shape.
I know there are millions of tutorials on the web and so many forums, but believe me I've been to as many as possible and I'm getting frustrated that their solutions do not work for me. Maybe I'm missing something very simple, but I need to get this down. Okay here is someone's solution that was posted on a photoshop forum:
Create a new layer

Command click on the shape layer (Control click on PC) to select
the shape

Select the new layer

Apply the gradient

I did all that, and it still does not work.
What bothers me is that their solution has worked for many, and not me lol. Anyhow, this is what happens with mine when I follow the above direction:
Once I have selected the shape and go to select the new layer, I loose the selection for the shape and only the layer becomes selected. And once I apply the gradient tool is applied, it is applied to all the new layer, not to do with the shape I wanted. Anyone?
thx

I bought my HP Pavilion desktop with Windows Vista Premium earlier this year. Now, I'm looking to reformat it, and I realize, there is no Vista disks. Is there anyway I can reformat without losing Vista?

We have rights as Americans against searches.

Many stores now are checking OUR property as we leave. Once it's paid for it's ours. Period.

It's not mandatory, and I've refused several times just to be slightly chased with a "SIR SIR!!!" but I ignore and go to my car.

I honestly think people are giving up freedom and giving into corporate law.

I'd rather pay a bit more than to per se, "give up my rights".

It's an outrage to me.... Even though it's something so small... I think of the American men who died and had families weep and mourn over them in the American Revolution to give us these rights just to have stores think they can take them away just because something is not in a bag.

I'm very pissed off and I'm about to start confronting managers.

Ive become an expert computer wrecker. After messing up some other files-n-stuff on my computer I choose to use the disk that came with my computer to fix things. It worked great for the problems I was having before but now I have no sound. I did this once before a long time ago and have forgotten how to fix it.

I'm sure I'm missing something very basic, so please excuse my ignorance but my dilema is this: I have a dlink DI-524 router that I want to use to feed the internet to three computers. My current configuration is cable modem>router>SunRocket gizmo. I thought it would be as easy as plugging a Cat5 cable into the back of my router ports and plugging the other end into ethernet card on the back of Mac, but so far the only way I can get the internet over to the Mac is to directly plug it into the back of the cable modem. What am I missing here? Thanks in advance for any help someone can offer.
