Computers & Internet - 16 December 2007

whether it is company service technician/engineer,or an authorised service engineer, or a freelancer,all of them insist that laptop be left with them (for testing or so they say),when it comes to desktop it is serviced on site. Isn’t this procedure faulty? causing a breach in security? OR is this just a hogwash to impress the client and fleece?

Can anyone tell me why my computer keeps getting pop-ups while I'm not running any programs? The pop-ups are from IE but I uninstalled IE. They just keep coming! I tried fire-walls and pop-up blockers but they don't work. please, if anyone has any information on how to stop these pop-ups, I'd really appreciate it.
thanks.

I have a choice between windows Vista or Windows XP. Recently i have heard alot of thigns that have gotten me concerned that Vista aint ready yet and that for the time being i should stick with Windows XP.

k, we got this wide screen monitor for our computer but when i plug it in everything is stretched and it looks terrible! When you play full screen movies on it, they take up the entire screen, wide screen movies play in a little strip on the screen. is there anyway to tell the computer that it's a wide screen monitor? perhaps a free program i can download?
