I currently have a standard size 17" LCD display. I've been thinking of getting a 19" Widescreen LCD display. I've heard that they are sized differently because of the wider screen aspect. I would assume that the 19" would be just like a standard 19" just a little wider. What is the sizing differences between a 19" widescreen LCD and a standard LCD?

A hired computer tech, after doing other desired work, left the screen items too small for my wife to comfortably use and I was unable to reach him thereafter. So I went to 800X600 which makes most sites too large for the screen and is a bother requiring grabbing blue bar and moving screen to the left to reach the X, etc.

I'm going to need to run windows programs such as word, powerpoint, and excel on my Macbook. I also have an mp3 player that requires me to have windows XP or higher. I already own Windows XP software (so I could install it on the mac). When I buy the Macbook, would Bootcamp or Parallels be best? I'm a little lost in this expertise.

Its in my toolbar down the bottom of my screen. It keeps saying system alert trojan spy. Everytime I click on it, it brings me on to dr.antispy.com and http://awebsecurity.com/ when I click out of it it is still there and when I so on to internet explorer it is the first thing that comes up instead of my homepage.

Anyone got any ideas of what it is or how to get rid of it?

1)Virus Protection. I have none. Do i need to buy an antivirus or are there good/reliable downloadable ones i can use to find/warn me of, or get rid of existing ones?
2) Video and photo editing software. I want to get one or both of these but they cost a heck of a lot...are you able to just install a friends? or is this totally illegal?! And 2b; if you bought one, could you use it on more than one of your computers? (ie pc and laptop)
THANK YOU :)

A friend of mine gave me his old Gateway computer for my children. It did not come with any kind of software at all. It currently has Windows ME on it but it is XP capable as I have checked its specs. My question is, how do you completely reformat these types of hard drives? There is usually a protected partition that contains recovery material or something similar. If I did a typical reformat, the unprotected partition would be erased but the protected one would still be there. Is there anyway I can reformat all of this completely and have a one partition hard drive?
