Computers & Internet - 2 December 2007

yesterday I accidently shut off my computer at the
power strip on the floor.When I turned back on my
computer the desktop Icons were very big and the
web pages were huge. I talked to gateway and had
to pay for it since my computer is out of warranty.
Nothing worked until I did a system restore.
I am a afraid to completely shut off my computer
at start and turn off computer because I am afraid
the system restore will not hold.
Did I damage my computer by this accidental shut
down? Has anyone else had this happen to them?

I had installed an update to my norton (I know most of you don't like it, that's not my issue right now). I was finally able to get a system restore to work by going back almost a month, but my internet connections are not working now. I have a wireless laptop that I am using, but the problem is with my desktop. Will doing a system recovery fix the problems? If so, how do I go about it? I would appreciate any help I could get. Thanks.

I made it in photoshop, with URL slices (and they work. I'm not through coding it yet. But, when I am...how do I hide everything (but my custom layout)? I pasted it into my profile, but it just put my layout into the "Bio" section (that's what an artist profile has instead of an "About Me" section). The buttons worked, but I want it to cover the entire page. How do I hide everything (beside my custom layout), and make my layout cover the whole screen, and not just a section?

I have windows vista and windows xp installed on my separate partitions on my hard drive. I wondered if there wasa quick way to switch between the 2 instead of restarting and booting up again??

People always say

Click Start->Programs->Accessories->Entertainment
->Sound Recorder.

But when I go to Entertainment I don't have Sound Recorder, I just have Volume Control.

Ok, so yesterday my computer took a nose dive and was running very very laggy. Moving windows around, laggy... the internet (even on a very small browser) very laggy like scrolling... windows media player.. laggy... etc etc.

Now, it shouldn't do this expecially because i don't really have anything running.. and because i have 2GB of ram and my computer is very fast.

I have run, Spybot, McAfee, Symmatic, adwear.. etc.. in safemode, and it's found stuff, and took care of it.. ran them again.. and they didn't find anything hte 2nd time.

Ran registry cleanup..

Even changed to 95 theme with no effects or w/e... still very very laggy. anybody know whats going on?

I think it is a virous or something, but i can't seem to get rid of it.. anybody have any answers?

Ok basically this is what I want to happen. A user select a song they want to play from the homepage. That causes a popupwindow to open displaying my songs page. Depending on what song they selected a variable will be sent to the songs.html file that tells it what song to do on the onload event.

So how can I pass a variable to another html file?

This is a link to the spec of the computer

http://www.ciao.co.uk/NEC_PC__6520484

Basically I know I can upgrade the RAM from 256MB (current) to 512MB. But as it says the processor is 'upgradable', could I take out the 1.5Ghz and replace it with a 1.7, 2.0 or even as far as a 2.4 Ghz processor?

I'm on a tight budget so getting a new computer is out of the question!

Thanks to everyone in advance.
