I am thinking of buying a new Vista laptop and was wondering if some computers are easier to switch than others.

My friend installed XP and now her wireless doesn't work!

She says something about drivers? And how can she return to Vista now that her computer won't work properly with XP?

I don't want this to happen to me, I am not sure Vista works well enough.

READ IMMEDIATELY PLS
Get this sent around to your contacts ASAP...we don't need this spreading around.

PLEASE FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG FRIENDS, FAMILY AND CONTACTS:
You should be alert during the next days:

Do not open any message with an attached file called 'Invitation' regardless of who sent it, It is a virus that opens an Olympic Torch
Which 'burns' the whole hard disc C of your computer.


This virus will be received from someone who has your e-mail address in his/her contact list, that is why you should send this e-mail to all your contacts. It is better to receive this message 25 times than to receive the virus and open it.

If you receive a mail called ' invitation', though sent by a friend, do not open it and shut down your computer immediately. This is the worst virus announced by CNN, it has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive virus ever.

This virus was discovered by McAfee yesterday, and there is no repair yet for this kind of virus. This virus simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard Disc, where the vital information is kept

SEND THIS E-MAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW, COPY THIS E-MAIL AND SEND! IT TO YOUR FRIENDS

AND REMEMBER: IF YOU SEND IT TO THEM, YOU WILL BENEFIT ALL OF US

So about a month ago, i got a new mini PC. It worked fine up until last night when i stretched my legs out, and knocked over the stand that it was on. The computer was on when it fell on its back and then it turned off, and now it wont turn on. I tried taking the cover off and checking around inside it for anything that may have come loose, but i dont know what im doing in there so im not sure if anything happened. The PC is a shuttle mini PC that a friend of mine built himself, if thats of any importance.

I just purchased Microsoft office 2003 simply because I got a new computer and I need to have MS office on it to function. I purchased the latest version which is MS office professional 2007 because I must have Access as an application. I hate the new tool bars on top of the application. It's a waste of my time to have to learn a new User interface just because I bought a new computer!

Is there an option on this softwate that will enable the familar interface, i.e. File, Edit, ........?

Thanks,
Glo

I recently download foxfire (something like that) to do my kodak picture. Ever since then my pc seems to be doing something odd where its saving things and just running space. How can I tell if there was a program downloaded triggering this or what can I do to check if there are files I can delete?

I've got an E6550 core 2 duo processor and 7600GS-512 MB but when I try to play some games as: DiRT, Crysis etc my pc suddenly gets slow, my friend told me that an overclock implementation can improve the performances but I don't know if I should do that or maybe some hardware could be the source of that problem so what can I do to make my pc fly while playing a game?
PS: i don't have a computer virus

i have had it with my computer already! it's is ridiculously slow, i spend more time waiting for documents to open than i do working in them! I have done virus scans in safe mode and did find a trojan horse, but after removing it my computer is still slow. This has been an ongoing problem! So i am thinking of just re-loading windows on my pc!!
How do i do this and will it wipe out all my current programs and documents or will everything still be there?
