My boss got me a new Dell Laptop with Vista and Office 2007 preinstalled. I hate it. I took the Laptop home and now want to reformat the entire HD and then install my own copy of XP I have a factory disk with XP on it. I also have my own Office XP disk to install once I get XP running. I have tried to boot from the XP install CD and it wont work. This is BS!! I am going nuts. Help!

There are a number of websites where you can download tv shows, music, and movies unlimitedly for roughly $2.00 a month rather than using something like iTunes where you pay $1.99 per episode? Does iTunes have better quality or what? Whats the difference.

I've had a Livejournal account for a while, but for some reason it never occured to me to post something or change the layout until now. Are there any patient people that would walk me through this step-by-step, or else just make one for me? I just have a basic account.

I've had the computer for a few years now, but it's not that old. It's a regular monitor, not a flat screen.

OK so I've got a desktop that the harddrive apparently has crashed. And I've got another computer that is supposedly in good working order (it's not mine, so I haven't turned it on yet) and I want to take the other computer and take it apart and put the harddrive in my old computer and kind of rebuild it. The computer I'll be taking parts from is a Dell Dimension XPS R450 and the other computer is a HP Pavillion 6623. Both had Windows 98 on them, unless the Dell has been upgraded (I'll have to check it). I know they both use the same kind of ram so that is cool to combine that...but if I put the harddrive from the dell into the HP, what exactly is going to happen? I've never done this particular thing before, will the windows on the dell boot up in the HP? Etc? I suppose I'll have to find the drivers for the stuff on the HP on the net cause some parts I can't move over cause the difference in the tower. Any tips or anything? It's my pet project lol.

My computer is running slowly and it is coming up saying my computer is not optimized. What would that statement mean? It also says a movie is still running making my computer slow. I don't know what all this means. Can anyone help me out?

Hi all,

Wondering if someone can help me out here.....
What I'm wanting to do is take stills from video which has been taken and then put onto the computor. The file plays in Windows Media Player but i keep having troubel with tryign to geta still out of the player. So i was wondering if anyone has any recommendations of free downloadable programs which aid in taking such stills from videos....?

Previously i could take satills from the videos because they played in Quicktime.. But since upgrading my digital camera, and seeing as it uses Windows Media Player i can no longer do this... :(

Any help or reccommendations would be appreciated.

How I can send it to someone who is blind.
She uses a program called Jaws and is not
familiar with Rapidshare, or those types of
programs. She can unzip a file but this one is to big to send via E-mail. Can someone tell me how to do this. She really wants this book.
Thanks for any help. I am sighted so I can help her once I find out how to do this.

Hey everybody! I'm looking for a new computer now cause my old one sucks. I was just wondering if there are any computer that is under $400 with at least a Intel Pentium 4 processor, 1 gig of RAM, and a good graphics card, not those cheap built in ones (I'm looking for any in the nVidia GeForce 7 series). Your help would be greatly appreciated!!!
