Computers & Internet - 28 June 2007

My computer is reaching its end soon, its a desktop and i will be graduating college in a few months. Wanted to get the computer before i'm out for the student discounts.

I figure a laptop would be better for work, but i'm also big into gaming.

Should i jsut get a high end laptop, or would it be better to get a laptop that works and then get a high end desktop.....

I mean the next desktop i was looking at was gonna run me about 3000$ just for the tower.....not sure if i can even find a laptop with teh same specs

I've made it clear to him that I'm going to start taking measures to remove him from my home if he doesn't pay up. My first step is to kick him off of the internet he isn't paying for. How can I remove him from my network without getting on his computer? (Mine had the original connection). I have a Linksys wireless router.

I was in Ireland for the last 6 months (I'm from NY). While there, I recharged my laptop with a plug adapter. The AC adapter for my laptop (a Dell Inspiron 9100) allowed a European, 220 V charge, so I figured I was OK.

The battery stopped holding a full charge after a while, though I know that is common. The AC adapter would get incredibly hot as well, and the laptop seemed to be overheating quite often. Now that I'm back home, as was the case there, my laptop seems to have heating issues, and in any case, it's running slower. I am rather sure that it's not due to any program/virus/whatever, but it's possible. In any case, I have a fan board thing USB device under it cooling things down, hopefully to some effect.

I'm going to replace my battery in any event. Could my AC adapter be fried, or has my computer irrevocably taken the effects of overheating badly? Maybe the fan board is slowing me down? Any ideas?

Is there a program or something? Because I recovered some deleted pictures and zip folders with an un-delete program and when I try to open the picture in windows picture and fax viewer it says"No Preview Availible". And when I try to open a zip folder I recovered it says: "The compressed (zipped) folder is invalid or corrupt". But the files still have data inside them in the properties menu it says that the file(s) is 56.1 KB, so it should be able to open. Is there a program that can access the files even though they supposedly have "missing" data? By the way I am running Windows XP SP2 with all the updates and stuff. PLEASE try and answer, thanks :)

One alert is a flashing triangle that says run our anti spyware software, the other is from stop sign anti-virus. I have run a few programs and nothing seems to work. The programs I have used are CClean, SpyBot, hijackthis, and ad aware. My homepage always goes to gomyron.com and then changes drivercleanup or another junk site. When I run spybot in safe mode it always comes up with two spy programs frist is IEREPORT and Microsoft.Windowssecuritycenter_disable.

I am thinking about getting into web site design for some local clients. The only thing, I'm not sure how much to charge them. What is the going rate? Do you charge a flat fee based on the project or an hourly rate?
