I mean, it really gets so hot that I cannot have it on my lap.
Also the mouse touchpad gets very warm almost hot, my fingers start feeling sore after a while.
I bought this laptop about 3 months ago. Is this normal?

I presumed that windows XP EFS was unbreakable, even by forensics (with the assumption that if they dont know your windows password - they cannot break into your acct to use your key...changing the password from admin will also change your key...am I right?) - then I keep reading that an expert in forensics can break EFS. If thats the case, why are we paying Microsoft money for a OS that has such a security flaw? The only other option I see is encryption software on the internet...however, the software decrypts the with a special password...every time you want to update that file (ie it could be a personal address book in word etc), you have to input password and un-encrypt the file to view. Once updated,you have to decrypt the file (manually with the software) again. What bloody palava that is.Not workable at all. What if the file is part of a working app as opposed to a data file? Is there anyway out there which guarantees data security?Note:EFS also lets ANYONE view the files names

My wife bought me a brand new computer (Acer) from BestBuy in April. I noticed an icon in the taskbar for PROBLEMS & SOLUTIONS so I clicked it. It opened up a window which says:

"Upgrade to the latest retail version of Windows Vista - The problem was caused by Windows Vista, which is created by Microsoft Corporation. You are running a beta version of Windows Vista, which is no longer supported by Microsoft Corporation."

How is it possible that Vista thinks it is beta or is it possible Acer install a beta version on my computer?

I am building a new pc and can't decide which video card to get. I currently have a Radeon 1600 516mb that a friend gave me, but I am thinking about getting a directx 10 one, like a 2400 or a 8600. However, the 8600 I am looking at has only 256 mb of video memory. What does video memory actually mean? Should I get the newer video card with less memory or an older card with more memory? Basically, I am asking which video card is better.

I just got a new video card, and after I installed it my sound card didn't work anymore. I'm wondering if it's cause I accidentally touched and it got misplaced or something...I know it's not broken because it's pretty new and I was wondering if I need to take apart the back of my computer and just re-insert the sound card...?

I have an HP Deskjet 5740. it's a color printer with a color cartridge in it.
Whenever i try to print something in color, it doesn't let me. The paper comes out blank.
I've checked the ink levels and the color carttridge is full, so it's not out of ink.
But I don't know why it won't print in color.
Someone help???
