I'm still in 8th grade. I'm thinking about buying a new computer because my old one is getting really out of date. Should I buy a Desktop? Laptop? or PC? MAC? I'm ok up to around 3000 cuz I've been saving so much money for this.

My internet explorer v. 7 is not working. It will load about half way and then freeze. I have reset my DSL Modem and checked the proxy settings and everything looks fine. I know I am connecting to the internet because other programs that use the internet connection are working fine, with the exception of AIM.

How do I fix this? What can I do? I've tried restarting after clearing my browser history and still am unsuccessful.

Thank you!

I am passing this via POST:

SELECT * FROM tbltesting WHERE (upper(title) LIKE '%2006%') OR (upper(category) LIKE '%2006%')

But when I echo it after being passed, it looks like this:

query: SELECT * FROM tbltesting WHERE (upper(title) LIKE \'%2006%\') OR (upper(category) LIKE \'%2006%\')

Obviously this doesn't work because of the extra slashed. How do I prevent this from happening?

I keep getting an error message like this no matter what media player I use (Playback failed due to a problem with the video subsystem. Lowering your screen resolution or color depth may fix the problem) I do set screen area to 800x600 pixels, and your color depth to 16-Bit still no help. I am a comp idiot please help!!

Ok, I have a hum coming from my speakers, you already know that :) this is a low frequency hum, and the volume of it depends on the volume of the radio (have it hooked up to the input jack on the radio) and the master volume, I think it could be a sound card problem because when I disconnect the input the radio works fine. I have used the Windows Sound Troubleshooter and it was no help. Could this be a sound card issue (Sis 7018 Wave), a problem with the input cord, or what? and is the problem easily fixable?

Thank You for your assistance

A friend of mine keeps insisting he gets 100MB/sec. with Qwest DSL service here in Phoenix, at $25 a month. I have Cox cable modem service and the maximum that is available is supposed to be 12MB/sec, at $60 a month. I asked Cox, and they tell me that 100MB/sec. speed isn't even possible currently, but my neighbor shows me this report on his PC that shows 100MB in one second, and he says downloads are really really fast. I'm not an expert on this -- nor a total novice -- so does anybody know the real stats?

I have a Compaq Presario notebook, and I also have an HP Pavilion I want to know if there is a way that i can use my recovery cds from my HP in my COMPAQ. When I tried it out it said that the system does not support it. Is there any other way? (I would use my recovery for my compaq, but i never made cds to recover, because i have a recovery system that does not use cds, and when i start my notebook up im supposed to hit F11 to begin the recovery process, but when i go to do it the F11 button doesnt do anything.) please help thanks

I bought a linksys router, wireless LAN 4 port broadband, I configurated it at home (my brother did) at home everyone could get connected easily but I brought it to my apartment (college) and I'm the only one who can get internet! All my friends have problems with it how can I make it happen? Should I change the IP address? My IP ends up with 34, which one is the next number?

For example, I'm sharing a folder and my friend is sharing his drive on the network. His drive is infected with a running virus - the virus sees my folder - then copies itself to my folder...can it then be automatically run and then infect my machine as well without my knowledge?
