The image I am working on drops out halfway through clicking the lasso... I can keep clicking and see where the lasso is, and the window for the image is there, but the image is gone. It immediately returns if I hit Esc. I suspect it has something to do with clicking outside the image frame...anyone else run into this?

I have this old HP business computer that runs on AMD 64 athlon 3200+. However i found out that my computer isn't really that suitable for playing hardcore games coz sometimes my screen will blackout and refresh for 1 second while playing games. I am planning to buy a new computer but i wanna know if AMD or intel is better. On the advertisments, i found out that AMD is usually integrated into business computers rather than computers meant for home entertainment. Why is it that AMD is always for business computers meant for work??? Is AMD better at multi tasking and many computer companies like HP are utilizing it in their business computers?

Anyone know a PHP function that allows you to count characters in a text box?

I'd like to let users, who register on my website, know if the password or username they are trying to register is longer than, oh, say 8 characters.

I can't seem to find any function for this. I guess it would have to count the amount of characters within a variable.

My laptop is dying, and it's really getting on my nerves. Because copying&pasting can take up to half an hour. Switching windows can take me 10 minutes. Playing a video would lag the entire thing, so only the audio would come out but the video wouldn't play. Joy. Bliss.

My laptop's four years old. Maybe older. Is it time to prepare it's funeral?

My 9 year old sister has a computer in her room, when she first got it, it worked perfectly. But then after a few months the computer started to become the slowest piece of machinery ever. You have to wait half an hour after turning the computer on for everything to load, you have to wait at 30 seconds for anything you clicked to work. And she hardly has anything downloaded do the space is not the problem. Does anyone know how to fix this other then re installing windows??
Thanks

I want to reinstall XP in my old laptop to get rid of all trash. I inserted the CD, it asks me to confirm and after that it says it has to restart windows. But it restarts windows and nothing happens! I checked the BIOS, and the CD drive is de first boot option.

Ok, I have this unwanted houseguest who is my hubby's best friend. Every time he gets on my computer, it's always messed up somehow. I tell him constantly to stay off of it, but he never listens to me! He was on it all day yesterday, and when I got home from work, it was messed up again. First, my paint program isn't working. Everytime I click on it, it says "failed to create empty document." Is there a way I could reinstall it? I no longer have any of the installation discs that came with the computer, so I'm completely screwed! Also, I can't right-click on anything! Whener I want to copy text or pictures to the clipboard, it won't let me. I know I can use the ctrl+c shortcut, but I really want my mouse to work again! Any tips on these 2 issues?

it loads all the songs fine. it starts the track fine, but will only play the first 5 seconds and then give me this message: "Windows Media Player cannot find the specified file. Be sure the path is typed correctly. If it is, the file does not exist at the specified location, or the computer where the file is stored is offline."

how can it not find it if it started playing it on its own??
when i go back to my computer, to removable hardware, the mp3 player is empty. actually, the icon is there, but it doesn't even recognize that it exists because there is 0 free space and 0 used space under properties. what do i do?
