If I hold down a arrow key for a few seconds, it beeps very loud.
There aren't any options to change for the speakers (volume, etc) and it can't play music.
How do I stop this?
Its a Dell Latitude running on W2000.

I gave my son my old computer. (6yrs.old)
He's trying to get on internet with DSL but it keeps saying it's blocked because of old anti virus files. A tech support guy says he has to contact Norton. The computer hasn't been used in a couple of years so anti virus is expired. I really have no idea how else to explain this. I'm just trying to get him some help.
I deleted alot of files I had on it but I know stuff is still on the hard drive. How do you get rid of all that so it is like when I first got it?????

I want to buy one, under $300 if possible, but would I get it cheaper if I only got it to use for taking notes at school, no internet or anything? I don't even need MS Word, just notepad like on a regular computer. Where can I find a cheap one - not ebay because I don't have a CC or PayPal.

I've changed the time on Windows 6 minutes ahead because it was slow 2 times and it keeps reverting back 6 minutes to the original time it seems overnight. What would be causing this?

i have a 2000 kb/s connection, but can only get 500 kb/s "download speeds"and yes I do use a router. while i have several PC's with the same router all of the other PC's are older than mine, but have speeds up to 2400 kb/s. and i only get 500, even when nobody except me is using internet, because if others use it i get 120 kb/s, the most probable cause would be system settings, and pls no stupid answers like, "do u have 3 computers?" or "change ISP" or "get a new PC"
as I cannot answer any of your answers please, so not ask them, and try to answer all the possibilities if i have forgotten something, or alteast list what i have forgotten
ty very much

I found a vid ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV0PVbhmr28 ) but it doesn't do much with the GIMP I have (2.2 for Windows) I was wondering which GIMP provide the "Text Along Path" under the text tool. Also, any other ways to curve texts?

Any appreciated.

That you don't have to download to use? I don't really want to download anything to my computer. Are there any websites that offer this without downloads? If you can help, I'd be so grateful! :)

Ok so Like, I got windows Xp SP2, and i like the new addition to the security center, but i have a minor problem, eveything else os OK. except my virus protection!! my firewall is set ON, My automatic updates are set to ON, but what about my virus protection?? for some reason, its "saying not monitored", I know i have an antivirus on, i use norton antivirus 2003! i know its set to on, but it still wont put it on the ON position. With AVG free edition however, the status was ON!! but for some reason, it doesnt wanna be ON with norton antivurus 2003, WHY????

I even set it to ON, and restarted the computer, but it still says
"NOT MONITERED"

its alwasy with Norton...

*remember, my antivirus i am using is norton antivirus 2003*

its an older version, but goes well with XP.


Thanks guys for your help!

My sql right now is

SELECT ariInfo.[Part Qualifier], ariInfo.[Part Number], ariInfo.Description, ariInfo.[List Price], ariInfo.Stock, ariInfo.[Supercession or Alternative Part Number], ariInfo.[Part Weight], ariInfo.[Price 1], [Price 1]*0.95 AS [Price 2], [Price 1]*0.9 AS [Price 3], [Price 1]*0.85 AS [Price 4], [Price 1]*0.8 AS [Price 5], ariInfo.[Price 6], ariInfo.[Price 7], ariInfo.[Price 8], ariInfo.[Price 9], ariInfo.[Price 10], ariInfo.[Box Height], ariInfo.[Box Width], ariInfo.[Box Length], ariInfo.[Handling Type], ariInfo.[Handling Value]
FROM ariInfo
WHERE (((ariInfo.[Part Qualifier]) In ('SIL','TH')));

I need to ad something like
AND (Not (ariInfo.[Part Number])=('1') so that this query excludes certain part numbers. If i try to add more than 1 number (ex ('1','2') I get an error. I have about 160 part numbers I need to exclude. How can I do this?

I received a text message on my cell phone regarding one of “dot coms” cheap software a couple of weeks ago, they were promoting on “ 75vista.com” different software like Office 2007, windows Vista , etc. and for some reason they disappeared, then they came back again with http://www.buyoems.com , they sell Windows Vista 8 in 1 just for $75.99, you just pay the amount and download the software with activation key, I asked myself if 10 people download the same software for example ( Windows Vista ) with the same activation key Microsoft might recognize the first one as a original product and not the rest of them, so, and I was wondering if somebody knows how it works, or eventually who they are! Please advise.

It's not even on quick launch, anymore. I tried a system restore, but nil. Is there some way I can get this back, or get just this off of my CD, without having to reinstall my entire OS? I have Win XP.

Alright, here goes. I do a fair amount of downloading programs etc. So I always keep my stuff backed up (music/vids). I do this so whenever my computer messes up I can just do a system restore with the discs that came with my computer to wipe everything and start from scratch.

Well, my idiot self lost one of the 3 discs so I can't do it anymore. I see a lot of OS boot dics on bit torrent webistes but I don't know anything about it. Is it safe? I know they are all .iso or .uif files which is a disc image that you extract and burn, but I dont know if I should trust it or not.

Is there any way I can burn another set of restore discs from my configurition that I already have? Or should I just bite the bullet and try one of the ones on BT?

Thank you in advance to anyone who helps me out!
