Our computer freezes up so we have to reboot it. When rebooting it, the computer takes forever to load. How do I get rid of some of the start up programs and just put them behind scenes?

I went to a Library one time and i saw this little 7 or 8 year old girl on myspace on the computer!

And to top it all off she had her REAL picture in there and has some information on where she lives!

What if a RAPEST! added her? (Or any other underage children in this matter) and asked to be friends, and "Go hang out" somewhere!

And i often wonder if the parents care, or don't know!

What do you think?

i have a dell inspiron 1300 laptop, and i was wondering if there are any possible upgrades to overhaul the graphics system.

Currently the adapter I run on this is as follows:

Chip Type: Intel 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset
DAC Type: Internal
Memory Size: 128mb
Adapter String: Intel 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset
Bios Info: Intel Video Bios

When I run some games and vids on this, it has a tendancy to lag a lot, and i want to correct that if possible.

Can anyone help?

I was watching a documentary on TV about how relatively rampant child porn has become online and it hit me... I surf the internet all the time and out of all the millions of popups and pages we are redirected to, not once have I seen a child porn popup (I'm sure it would have left enough of an impression for me to remember..)

I'm not about to go looking for it... but it got me thinking. Does the US block child porn on the ISP level or am I just lucky enough not to see it?

I am going to build my own PC and I am an above casual gamer but not hardcore. I do not wish to run Vista yet, but I plan to in the future. Also, the computer has to be able to do basic procedures such as browsing the web and Microsoft Office. Please list a complete configuration of the best components to use for maximum performance. Also, the total cost (not including monitor) must be under $1,100. Thank you for the responses.

Dear Yahoo Answers,
I recently installed a Clean Install of Windows Vista Ultimate on my Computer. Before that I used to run Windows XP Home. My internet was configured through a WG111 Netgear Router. Now the problem I am having is that I have installed the Required Netgear Software for Vista, but when I insert the USB Router into my computer instead of getting one beep ( which i assume means that the computer has detected a device) i receive two quick beeps. Now usually when A Netgear router is detected by the computer the Netgear program should start, but it doesn't in this case.

I have not updated Windows Vista so it may be a problem of outdated or incompatible drivers.... What should i do?, what should i download?, how should i fix it?.

Please Help, as I really want to connect to the internet.

Any Contribution will be appreciated.

Thankyou

P.S: I think the double beep of inserting the USB Router has a significant role in this.

I believe these are just installation files, but I have many games and this folder is taking up almost 5 gigs worth of space. I was just wondering if I need these files to run the games? Thanks!
