I don't know what to do, as this is the only computer I have. Is there ANYTHING I can download or w/e to fix this?

(i.e. browser [Firefox] is slow, windows don't minimize when I click them to do so...)

Like how they do at schools when you try to access it, you encounter the message saying something like "access denied. Administrator settings active" or something like that!!! I want to apply that restriction to stop my brother from going into it to change the security levels/internet settings, etc.

I need to know the date and time that my computer was shut down. Is there somewhere in my computer's history where I can find that out?

How would I go about doing this and where do I look?

I'm horrible with computers, so anything would help! : )

I got a computer for free from my Dad and I have almost gotten it just the way I wanted it. But whenever I am looking at a file location it says C://Documents and Settings/my dads name..does anyone know a way to change it. I am using XP if that helps. I have already changed the registered owner to my name and that didn't do anything

Hello,

I am told by my technician that a 8600m gt video card gets really warm. This would cause the hard drive to fry or act funny. Therefore, I am deciding to buy a cooling pad.

Here are my issues:
1-My fan is located on the upper left side of the laptop.
a-Do I need a fan that blows air up into the fan?(that draws fan from under and releases from the left side)

2- What cooling pads are better?
a- Aluminum?
b-Usb based?
c-AC power based?

Thanks

Every now and then, my work computer comes up with a screen saying that it cannot find personal settings, and this may be due to a corrupt file. Then all of my settings like screensavers, background, recent files are gone. I dont actually lose any files, but i cant access them in the recent files area. Does anyone know why this is? or how to fix it?
