I normally use a soft cloth to dust it, however, over time there is a "film". Can I use a damp cloth to clean it?

My computer when i reboot or turn it on, it acts like windows is starting but doesnt. It goes to a black screen and says theres a setup problem or something like that. I have tried reinstalling windows, and when it comes up it says F2 for setup or F12 for something else. I press either and nothing happens it always oes back to the black screen and message. It does not ask me if i want to reformat, which i find odd.... I wait for a message, but all i get is a black screen and the message....Can anyone tell me what to do to fix this problem.... I really do not want to have to go out and buy a new computer, but I may have tooo i guess??? Last resort tho..... Thanks for your help....

I looked around and there were lots of questions on this but none of them helped. I need a good, free video editor for Windows that can take out sections of videos and clip videos and such. It doesn't have to have anything fancy with tons of effects and stuff. I've tried Windows Movie Maker (crashes when I try to open large files), VirtualDub (saves everything in AVI and then I have to take the time to convert everything back to mpeg), and Avidemux (won't save any of my files properly for some reason) and they all don't work.

I need it to take out the commercials on some TV shows I've recorded on my computer in MPEG format. They are all around an hour long each so I need an editor that can handle big files.

If you are going to answer this question...please read these details to see what I have already tried. Thanks in advance.

My system has two optical drives: a DVD ROM drive and a Multi Drive.

The Multi Drive recognizes disks with data on it, but if I put a blank disk in, it plays dumb. If I try to drag and drop files via My Computer, I get the Drive Inaccessible error.

Disk Management shows the DVD ROM drive and the capacity of the disk, but the Multi Drive shows zip (except that the drive exists...but no capacity, nothing in properties, etc).

It's not the drive itself, as I have interchanged another drive that was sitting around. They both play the same game.

I tried Master/Slave settings, and Cable Select settings. Nothing.

Nothing obvious in BIOS/CMOS either.

Does anybody have any other ideas? This is driving me crazy.

my dorm room has low signal strength for wireless from the college. i was wondering if someone could tell me of a product that will sort of boost the signal. obviously i can;t tell the college to broaden their internet range so i need a way to take the incoming signal and make it stronger. i know of one product that does it but you have to connect to it with a usb cable which means it won't be wireless any ideas?
