OK, I'm now in a mood as i have dropped my laptop resulting in....

I have broke the screen as it wont stand up, the actual screen is fine and still works but it just wont stand up with out flopping down again!

Also i have ripped 2 buttons off, but they are non-repairable as i have snapped the little clips they go on to!

I know i can fix the buttons by taking it to a p.c shop! But does any of you know if my screen if beyond reparing? It seems to be that something has snapped causing it not to stand up....

Maaaaan why do i have to be so clumsy!

If so peeps, do u have an idea of the cost aswell?

Scribbles a answer =]

I managed to loose the shortcut to the desktop, which normally are placed next to the Start-button on the toolbar on the screen. How do I get the desktop shortcut back? Anything would be helpful, thanks.

So at the mo my eMachines 170 is 5 years old and is very, very slow. It takes 20 minutes to boot up when you first switch it on. I have done alot of defragmenting and disc clean ups, I have unchecked all unnessasary files in "msconfig" and . I have also removed all unessasary large files and stuck them on a 500gb ext hard drive. The PC is still slow so I need it to run faster and such before I can install my new DVD burner, also i was told the reason my windows movie maker files wont save is cause I dont have enough RAM. Will adding more memory greatly improve the speed of my PC? Also what specs do I need to determine what type of RAM I need?

I am trying to install Linux on a computer I cobbled together, but the CD-ROM refuses to boot. I have swapped CD-ROM drives, so the issue is not the drive itself. At present the drive is set to cable select and it's cable is in the motherboard's #1 IDE slot. The boot order is set to CD, A, C in the BIOS. Any suggestions?

I am trying to download skype so my ebay customers can chat and get a quick answer, but I am quite naive at 56. My puter seems to not want to do it, probably the Micro trend ?? It says it causes a "registry change" and I have NO IDEA if this is normal or very very bad, advice desperately needed for my Christmas listings/sales. thanks

This is the link

I want to create the web page and have tab pages as this page have for "My Gahter", "Images" "Articles"

Should I use

I am running the following piece of code to record the value of cell A1 every second, to create a list of values. I also want to chart the values in real time, ie have the chart update whilr the code is running. However while the code is running, this currently doesn't occur, and I can't even use excel at all until I break the running macro. Is it possible to have the macro "pause" to allow this?

Sub Log()
For a = 2 To 240 Step 3
For b = 1 To 1000
Cells(b, a) = Time()
Cells(b, a - 1) = Cells(1, 1)
PauseTime = 1
Start = Timer
Do While Timer < Start + PauseTime
Loop
Next b
Next a
End Sub

Hi

Problem:
http://localhost/www.website.com/new.php?id="180"
returns error as follows:
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '\"180\"' at line 1


This works!:
http://localhost/www.website.com/new.php?id=180

Thing is i dont know ho to chnage my code to get rid of the double quotes!

On iis :http://localhost/www.website.com/new.php?id="180"
works fine, but on apache it doesnt!


whay is this?
What shall i do?




index.php:
print "id\">$row->title";



new.php:
include("db/db_config.php");

{
$id = $_GET["id"];
$sql = "SELECT * FROM articles WHERE id = $id";
}

// $sql = "SELECT id,datetime,title,author,body,author_box FROM t4d.articles WHERE id = $_GET["id"] LIMIT 1";
$rs = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());


Thanks in advance
