The flat screen doesn't just go black, the power is off. Pressing the power button does not turn it on. This is inconsistent. Sometimes it doesn't do this. My pc is a 2 yr old Acer.

Okay, I recently installed Windows Vista Home Premium. I repaired half of the XP items and I want AOL to work, but every time I click it it says "Restart now" or "Restart later" to complete the installation, but when I do restart it keeps saying it. I tried uninstalling it and then getting it off the AOL site and downloading the correct version...but it doesn't seem to be working. I was wondering what I should do. We are going to have a guy come over and take care of it, but not for a while.

I have AOL 9.0 VR. But it won't work. What am I doing wrong?

When I boot up and I boot from a cd, like I'm trying to install A linux distro, SO, It starts installing and it just shuts off instantly, it also did this when I was installing WIndows VIsta, so when I start it up normally it will stay on, Is it the power supply

SPecs you might need
- Allied 500 watt power supply
- 3 80mm blue led fans
- 1 graphics card cooler fan with blue led's
- Intel Core 2 Duo
- HP dvd 1040i cd drive
- 320GB HArd Drive
- Asus P5B motherboard
- 1 GB ram
- Niko 20'' Widescreen LCD
- Logitech 5.1 speakers
- Logitech S510 wireless keyboard and mouse
- 1 OCZ Heatsink 92mm Blue led fan (Coming in Thursday, I currently have the stock intel cooling fan)


I'm leaning toward the power supply not having enough power or the Intel Core 2 Duo getting really hot, but it cant be because I have it on top of an air conditioner vent.

The case is at 81.3 degrees fahrenhiet on the inside.

I have a DELL INSPIRON 9300 and the 3 key popped off. I have looked this up online and what they are telling me is that there are little white plastic things that I am supposed to snap in place. However, for some reason this key only has the black key piece, and under it a little green squishy thing that I can press to type 3. There are no loose plastic pieces. If someone could help me out with a step by step guide or something, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

This has been happening for years. Often, when I cut and paste text from one document to another the character spacing changes from "normal" to "expanded." I have to manually change it back with the drop-down format tab. Since I never use expanded character spacing, I can't figure out why it's doing this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have PC tools registry mechanic and when I ran that, it said that I
had 17 problems. I repaired them. My computer was still acting up
so I tried "Errorkillers" . It said that the following problems were
found: 29 active x, OLE, COM
29 Add/remove programs
45 file associations
2 invalid shortcuts
1 startup item

I have bellsouth internet security and I started running a virus
scan last night. By this afternoon, it still wasn't finished
scanning. I couldn't let it finsh the scan, I needed the computer.

Is there anyway to fix these problems? The last time I took my
computer to someone for them to work on it they kept my computer and
gave me a replacement one (the one I use now). I don't have the
money to purchase anything, though. Is there a way that I could fix
them for free and was that a reliable site (errorkiller) ?

Thank you

I'm fixing a computer for a friend who doesn't have enough money to buy a new computer well he gave me his computer becasue everytime he stars it it says this

The Windows registry or system.ini file refers to this device file, but the device
file no longer exists.
If you deleted this on purpose, try uninstalling the associated application using
its unistall or setup program.
If you still want to use the application associated with this device file, try reinstalling
that application to replace the missing file.

At the command prompt I typed in Scanreg /restore and chose a date and then it tells me that I chose a date without errors and to complete it I need to restart.

I am aware that Excel worksheet protection is weak and can be easily bypassed with free software. I've heard that it is possible to add an extra layer of protection by using Macros. I don't know how to use Macros and I am not good at programming (I don't understand VBA). Can anyone give me simple step-by-step instructions on how to protect my worksheet using Macros (or any method other than Excel's built-in worksheet protection)? Thank you. Objective: I want to give my Excel worksheets protection that will be very difficult for anyone to break.
