First off it is an outrigh LIE to say that MACs cannot get a virus. they are NOT immune. The hackers decided that MACs don;t have a ig enough market share to be a REAL target, so they focus on where they can do the most damage, PCs. Please stop saying that they are IMMUNE, they are not!!
What do you do when your mac can no longer run through all those video clips as fast as you want? do you upgrade? of course you do, you throw out your entire system and give MAC more money for their over priced and proprietary systems. A PC user could easily upgrade a single part, or a few parts to get the same effect.
So maybe you have a good MAC capable of runnig a recent game. My 2 year old PC can run anything currently available (except DX10) because i have been able to upgrade it.
So waht makes MAC so special? they use Intel Processors. they use a GUI similar to windows. Maybe they don;t crash as much an average, but most windows crashes are user error, something MACs don;t even allow.

Today I did a complete system restore on my computer and had to reload all the softwares and what not.
Everything on the screen is huge and when I go to "Display Properties" to change the screen resolution, it does not give me an option to change. It is only on 16bit. Does anyone know what to do?

Thank you very much.

My win98 computer have missing window system file. I dont know how this happened. Maybe this file was deleted when I conducted the antivirus. The computer is working ok even without the system file but I can not restore the regedit although i have the tools to restore it. I'm getting a message that the window/system/regedit.com is damage. I tried to run the setup for win98 but still the system file is missing. Can I copy the system file from my other computer with the same operating system?

I have a computer that keeps getting BSOD while I'm using the computer. Sometimes while I'm watching youtube videos, my computer crashes to the blue screen forcing me to hit the reset button my computer. This has been happening for about two years now and it's very frustrating because it takes very long for my computer to restart. The message of the blue screen of death is KERNEL DATA INPAGE ERROR. That's all I have written down but I'll post details as soon as I can.

I recenlty purchased a Vista notebook, that has a widescreen display. Most of my older programs run, but naturally, some of the especially old ones, have no resolution setting for widescreen displays, so everything is stretched, and I cannot adjust the ratio.

I have a theory, of getting a hex editor and screwing around with the tags and fudging the display so that when I check the highest resolution, it will display in the one i manually entered in the codes--

Before I risk corrupting something, however, I was wondering if there were a way to get my widescreen monitor to display a smaller, standard ratio (with some black on the sides) in order to make my stretched applications, appear normal?

~Just to clarify, for example what i am thinking, if any of you have a portable DVD player, there is usually a button that will switch the little monitor between display modes, like 16:9/4:3... now of course there is no switch on my laptop, but I was wondering if i could mimic the effect.

My mom was using my account on Windows XP earlier today. I'm not sure how long she was on, but when I left to go out she was on for about five minutes, and when I came back several hours later she was off. Is there any way she could've hidden them or something? Some way to recover them. Worst case scenario, I just remake the thirty something icons. No big deal.... Thanks!

I have hard which was previously running as a master drive. I hooked it up as a slave and now I can only read it in safe mode. When I try to format the slave drive from Disk Management it goes upto 99% and then say 'hard was not formatted' I can't access in normal mode. I keep getting errors. I disabled all background software....even anti-virus. Nothing doing.
My OS is windows XP. P4. Can someone help me. I want to know why this is happening. If any more information about my computer is needed let me know.
