Is there a way that you could access the part of your computer that shows all of the letters you typed?!?
I wrote something super important and i copied it and instead of pasting over something i re copied it. I really need to see what I typed, It's life or death. Any knowledge will help!!!

i.e. can I use my older 1.5 hard drives in a motherboard with 3.0 ports? I know that a 3.0 hard disk will work in a 1.5 motherboard port, but vice versa?

Anyone have it working?

OK, i'll tell you the problem: My laptop is having several errors and fails to open programs such as Internet Explorer, Outlook, and many other important functions on my computer. This happened just recently and I have no idea how it did, because I haven't tampered with it in any way. I also need to know if I should get a new computer or if there is a way to reverse/fix the problems i'm experiencing. My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite A55-S1063 that is less than seven months old, for those of you who are wondering.
Another thing you might want to know is that the problem is not associated with a virus...that's all I know about the whole ordeal.
Answers are greatly appreciated!

is that referring to the current card, or does it mean that the computer cannot handle anything more?

Motherboard is a MSI 645 Ultra P4 board
I can get a better price on a 1gb pc3200 ram chip.
So even though it won't increase performance can I put it in, instead of the pc2700 it's designed for?

Will it even have a hard drive? Or will all data soon be stored offsite? Will it have a lot of processing power, or will that, too, be performed offsite, all through the internet.
