Computers & Internet - 1 November 2007

I recently bought a new Dell system with XP installed. Recently, as I'm working, everything starts to go scrambled. The taskbar moves to the top of the screen, things get blanked out, everything's very slow, however, when I push the power button on the case, everything goes back to normal, but by then it's too late as everything starts to shut down. All of this is during very low-stress work like simple web browsing, e-mail, and the like. Any ideas? I'm thinking of just reinstalling Windows.

I made an image map, but regardless of what I do, it adds a border to the image. This would be fine, except it looks horrible in combination with the rest of the image.

How can I fix this?

I have a compaq laptop and the touchpad is not fully working. The mouse function is working, but it doesn't scroll when I drag my finger over the "scrolling grooves". what's wrong? Its getting kind of annoying since I'm used to scrolling with the grooves.

The only two programs that have excess amounts of memory are my pictures and Itunes. I don't want to delete my songs or my pics.

Is there any other way besides buying more memory?

Right-o.
Ive done a horribly foolish thing and not saved my work for the last hour whilst using openoffice.org writer. And then it stopped functioning. With the recovery function all I got was what was saved anyway. Is there any chance at all of getting what I had before, or is it lost to eternity?

Thanks, Tom

I have a documnet on MS Word that I want to print, but when I go to print it a message appears and states "The page borders of section 1 are set outside the printable area of the page". There is a border around the document, so when I print it the border part on the bottom of the page is cut off. How do I set the page so that the whole border fits when printed?

Ive just scanned my computer and it told me all the stuff i need to know. It also said that i need to install memory in pairs.

Does this mean i have to buy 2 new sticks of RAM or get a stick matching my current one?

Please answer thanks.
